1.2 In view of its sales policy, the Seller may, in any case, reserve the right not to process orders that it deems not to be compliant.

2.1 The Website sets out the essential characteristics of the products, their price and availability. For each product, in addition, photographic images and descriptions are provided to assist Customers. However, the images and colors of the products on sale on the Website may not correspond to the actual characteristics due to the resolution of the monitor and browser used by the Customer. As a result, the Seller will not be responsible for any inadequacy of the images found on the Website.

The Seller does not guarantee that the products found on the Website are available in the store and vice versa. Customers must rely upon the description and characteristics of the product presented on the Website.

If the Customer decides to cancel the order and if the charge has already been paid, the Customer will be promptly reimbursed.

2.4 For some sizes, the products may be available “upon request”.

8.7. In accordance with Art. 57, Paragraph 2 of the Consumer Code, the Customer is solely liable for the reduction in value of the goods resulting from any handling of the same other than what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.
