The Site hosts a commercial proposal for the sale of Products, which may be modified at any time by PETIT PICOTIN. The Products and prices displayed are valid, within the limits of available stocks and supplies, for as long as they are visible on the Site.

The Site shall confirm the Order via e-mail to the address provided by the Customer when placing the Order. This confirmation shall be sent no later than 48 working hours after receipt of an Order.

5.2. Description of the process for placing and validating an Order

The Customer who wishes to place an order:

1/ chooses a model

2/ selects the desired colour (note: if one of the fabrics is out of stock, it cannot be se-lected by the Customer when placing the Order) ;

3/ opts (or not) for customisation

4/ selects customisation options (colours and text) + saves

5/ places the item in the basket or returns to the creation stage if they wish to modify the customisation

If the Customer does not have a Customer Account, they are invited to open a one in accordance with Article 4 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use. If the Customer already has a Customer Account, he/she must enter his/her login details to proceed with the Order. Once all these choices have been made, the Customer is redirected to the basket, which summarises the options of the Order, and may then decide to order other items of the same model by selecting the number of Products desired.

The Customer must then fill in all the required information (in particular; name, de-livery address, billing address, telephone, e-mail, etc.).

At this stage of the Order process, the Customer accesses a page on the Site detail-ing the contract offer, which shall include the following information: a summary of the Order (description of the options selected, size selected, total price of the Order, delivery costs, number of Products ordered, total to be paid), and the Customer's personal details and payment methods.

The Customer is invited to carefully review this form before validating the Order. The Customer may check the details and the total price of his/her Order and correct any errors before confirming it to express his/her acceptance. After having validated the contents of the basket and ticking the box labelled, 'I accept the General Terms of Sale and Use, and I acknowledge that in validating this Order I commit to paying the corresponding price', the Customer is invited to choose a method of payment and to validate his/her Order. This confirmation, together with all the data recorded by PETIT PICOTIN, shall constitute proof of the Transaction.

5.3 Suspension - Refusal

PETIT PICOTIN reserves the right to close or suspend a Customer's account, to sus-pend and/or refuse any Customer's order for any legitimate reason (in particular as a response to false or erroneous information, a fraudulent order, a payment problem, unauthorised use of a third party's means of payment, etc.).

PETIT PICOTIN also reserves the right to suspend and/or refuse any Order from a Customer with whom there is a dispute regarding the payment of a previous Order, regardless of the Order and/or payment method.

 6. General obligations of the parties

 6.1 Obligations of the Site

The Products are designed and developed by PETIT PICOTIN and manufactured in Portugal. Product availabilities are kept up to date in real time. However, despite all the measures taken, stock and/or supply shortages may arise. In this case, the Site informs the Customer and undertakes, at the Customer's discretion, to reimburse the amount paid or to offer an equivalent or superior Product in terms of quality and price. The Site reserves the right to refuse an Order, even if it has been automatically confirmed, if the recipient country is not mainland France or Corsica.

6.2. Obligations of the Customer

The Customer declares that he/she is at least 18 years old and has the legal capacity to place an Order. The Customer undertakes to indicate a valid address to which delivery can be made from Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The address must be easily accessible to the carrier. By validating the Order, the Customer thereby commits to paying it. Any Order placed by a Customer is strictly intended for their own personal use, or the personal use of the person in whose name the delivery is to be made, with no professional use permitted. As the purchaser of a personalised Product made at his or her request, the Customer is responsible for all information communicated to the Site, including text, size, contact details, delivery address, etc.

7. Order-specific provisions

7.1. Price, invoice

The total price indicated in the Site's Order confirmation form is the final price. The price is expressed in euros and with all taxes included. The value added tax is that in force in France at the time of the Order. Delivery is subject to a fee. The payment of the Products is made by credit card (Eurocard, Visa, MasterCard) or PayPal. For credit card payments, PETIT PICOTIN has chosen to use the PAYPLUG secure payment option. At the time of the Order, when the Customer is required to enter or communicate his/her card number and its expiry date, he/she will do so on the secure network of the PAYPLUG system. These numbers are never known to or kept by PETIT PICOTIN. After verification and agreement from his/her bank, the Customer is automatically returned to the Site to continue shopping securely. The Customer's bank account or PayPal account will be debited within 48 hours from the time of the Order, which will be considered effective after confirmation of the agreement of the bank or PayPal's online payment service. The debit from the Customer's card or PayPal account will be exclusively made in euros.

7.2. Delivery

The Products can be delivered in almost all the countries depending on the address given by the Customer at the time of placing the Order. Unless otherwise stated on the Site, Preparation of Products are made within a maximum of 10 (ten) working days from confirmation of the Order, and exclusively for deliveries located in mainland France, Corsica, or Europe. This period is extended during the holiday periods of the Factories, of which the Customer is informed on the Site if necessary. The Site shall under no circumstances be held liable for a delay in delivery due to a problem with the carrier, the absence of the Customer at the time of delivery, or incorrect information given by the Customer.

7.3. Transfer of Ownership and Risks

The transfer of ownership and the transfer of risks take place as soon as the Cus-tomer comes into possession of the Products.

7.4. Cancellation & returns policy

In accordance with the provisions of article L 121-20 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer benefits from a cooling-off period of thirty (30) full days from receipt of the Products ordered. However, the eligibility for cancellation and/or returns as mentioned in the previous paragraph is, according to Article L 121-20-2 of the same Code, not applicable to services that have begun, with the consumer's consent, before the end of the period of thirty (30) full days. In addition, certain products or services mentioned in Article L.121-20-2 of the Consumer Code may not be eligible for cancellation and/or returns, including:

- Goods made to the consumer's specifications or that are clearly personalised;

- Goods that are likely to deteriorate or expire quickly

- Goods that have been opened by the consumer after delivery and that cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health & safety

- Newspapers, periodicals, or magazines.

The Customer must notify PETIT PICOTIN's customer service department in a clear and precise manner of his/her wish to cancel and/or return goods by sending a statement to the following address: [email protected]. The Customer is then required to return the corresponding Product to PETIT PICOTIN's Customer Services Department without undue delay, and at the latest within thirty (30) days following the communication of his/her decision. The costs of returning the Product(s) that are the subject of the withdrawal are en-tirely at the expense of the Customer. PETIT PICOTIN undertakes to reimburse all sums paid for the Product(s) subject to the withdrawal, including the standard delivery costs, within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the request, provided that the Products have been returned.

7.5. 7.5. Reservations upon Receipt of Products - Non-conformity - Commercial warrantee

7.5.1. Reservations upon Receipt of Products

In the event of a reservation, the Customer must (as far as possible) express these reservations in writing to the carrier upon delivery of the Products and send a copy of these reservations by e-mail to the following address: [email protected] as soon as possible, along with the carrier's confirmation of the truth of these reservations.

7.5.2. Non-conformity of Products

PETIT PICOTIN takes all necessary steps to deliver a Product that complies in all respects with the Customer's Order: model, fabric, prints, size, personalisation. In the event that the Product does not conform to the specifications given by the Customer at the time of ordering, as summarised in the order confirmation e-mail, the Customer may request the replacement of the Product. However, the Customer is warned that due to the technical constraints that may arise during the design of the Product, some minor modifications may be made dur-ing the design process. It is expressly agreed that these minor modifications, linked to technical constraints, do not affect the conformity of the Product, and so the Cus-tomer may not rely on them under Article 6.5.2. The Customer's request must be made within a maximum period of 5 (five) working days from receipt of the Order, and under no circumstances may the lack of con-formity result from the fact that the Product has been worn, damaged, or used by the Customer, or that the Customer has incorrectly specified their choices when placing the Order. Only Products in perfect condition for resale shall be taken back by PETIT PICOTIN. For this reason, PETIT PICOTIN will systematically refuse any Product that has been worn, used, washed, damaged, or is incomplete. In the event of an abnormal or unreasonable return, PETIT PICOTIN may refuse to honour a subsequent order. In the event of the return of a Product on the grounds of non-conformity, PETIT PICOTIN will send a shipping note for the reshipment of the Product, and the Customer will return the Products free of charge by affixing it to the reshipment parcel. If the error is not the fault of PETIT PICOTIN, the Customer does not benefit from the guarantee of conformity.

7.5.3. Customer satisfaction warrantee

In the best interests of the Customer, PETIT PICOTIN offers a satisfaction warrantee that applies to Products that are not eligible for cancellation or return. In the case that the Customer made a mistake at the time of placing the Order or is dissatisfied with the Product ordered (ineligible for cancellation or return), the Cus-tomer may ask PETIT PICOTIN to reimburse the Product by means of a credit note to be used on the Site within 40 (forty) working days. Before proceeding with any Product return, the Customer's request must be made by e-mail to [email protected] within a maximum period of 30 (thirty) full days from receipt of the Order. For Product refund requests, the Product identification costs are entirely the responsibility of the Customer, and, as such, will be deducted from the initial price of the refunded Product. For the return of a Product as part of the customer satisfaction warrantee, all the expenses incurred for the return of the Product are entirely the responsibility of the Customer (this includes, in particular, the postage of the Product to PETIT PICOTIN, as well as any new products sent by PETIT PICOTIN to the Customer paid for with the credit note of the refunded Product). Only Products in perfect condition for resale shall be taken back by PETIT PICOTIN. For this reason, PETIT PICOTIN will systematically refuse any Product that has been worn, used, washed, damaged, or is incomplete. Following a refund request from the Customer, an estimate will then be sent within a maximum of 5 (five) working days from receipt of the Customer's request, in which it will indicate the cost to the Customer of using this satisfaction warrantee, including the cost of reshipment and the cost of anonymising the refunded Product. The Customer shall then have a maximum period of 10 (ten) working days from receipt of the quotation to formally validate the quotation with PETIT PICOTIN. Failure to reply within the given time limit shall constitute a refusal of the quotation and a waiver of this commercial guarantee.

7.6. Liability limitation

Due to the technical constraints that may arise during the manufacturing of the Product, PETIT PICOTIN is only bound by an obligation of due care and attention. In all cases, the Parties expressly agree that in the event that PETIT PICOTIN's liabil-ity is called into question, whatever the nature or the basis of the action:

- Only direct damages resulting from the non-execution of contractual obligations may merit compensation. Consequently, all indirect damages, and in particular any moral or commercial prejudice, loss of profit, turnover, order or clientele, suffered by the Customer and/or third parties shall not merit a right to compensation.

- The sum of the repair likely to be at the charge of PETIT PICOTIN is expressly limited to the sums received by PETIT PICOTIN in relation to the Product in question. In all cases, PETIT PICOTIN cannot be held liable if the non-execution or poor execution of its contractual obligations is attributable either to the Customer, a third party, or to a case of force majeure.

7.7. Customer Services

PETIT PICOTIN offers various means of information and assistance for the Custom-er on the Site. For any information or additional questions, the Customer Services department is available to any Customer preferably by email: [email protected], or by phone on (+33) 06 18 39 51 41 from Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
