Terms and Conditions

1. Definitions

Each of the terms listed below, whether used in the singular or plural, shall have the following meaning in this Agreement:

  • Terms and Conditions: refers to these terms and conditions of sale.
  • “Seller” or “the Company”: refers to BAYONA SARL, a single-member limited liability company with a capital of €1,000.00, whose registered office is located at 2 Avenue de Jalday
    , 64500 Saint-Jean-de-Luz, registered with the Bayonne Trade and Companies Register under number 849 070 826.
  • Customer or Buyer: refers to the individual placing an order for products with the Seller.
  • The online store or the Website: refers to the e-commerce website

 


2. Scope of Application of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale

These Terms and Conditions apply to all orders placed with the Seller via the Website.

Prior to placing an order, the Customer represents that the purchase of these products is intended for use unrelated to their professional activity. Should this be the case, the Seller specifically draws the Customer’s attention to the exclusions of contractual warranty and liability as set forth, in particular, in Article 10 below.

By placing an order on the Website, the Customer acknowledges that they have read these Terms and Conditions of Sale and accepts them without reservation.

The Seller reserves the right to amend or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. In such cases, only the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time the order is placed shall apply. The Seller advises the Customer to save and/or print these Terms and Conditions for safe and permanent record-keeping, so that they may be referred to at any time during the performance of the contract if necessary.


3. Orders and Confirmation

You acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms and conditions of sale before placing your order.

Orders are placed on the website accessible via the URL https://www.bayona.fr/.

The contractual information is provided in French.

To place an order, the Customer follows the various steps of the ordering process, namely:

  • Selecting at least one item,
  • Creating a customer account by filling out the required fields, or, if the Customer already has a customer account, logging in by entering their email address and password,
  • The choice of delivery terms and conditions,
  • The choice of payment methods,
  • Completion of the order and payment.

The “double-click” and the checkbox confirming acknowledgment and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions, which confirm the order, constitute an “electronic signature” and are equivalent to a handwritten signature. They constitute the Customer’s irrevocable and unconditional acceptance of the order and the Terms and Conditions.

The contractual details of the order (including the order number) will be confirmed via email.

The information provided by the Customer when placing the order (including name and shipping address) is binding on the Customer. Accordingly, the Seller shall not be held liable in any way should an error made when placing the order prevent or delay delivery.

The Customer can preview their order in the form of a summary showing the total price and, if applicable, shipping costs, and can modify their shopping cart or shipping address before finalizing the order.

The Seller reserves the right to refuse any order from a customer with whom there is or has been a dispute regarding payment for a previous order.

The Customer represents that he or she has full legal capacity to enter into these terms and conditions of sale.


4. Availability

Unless otherwise stated on the Site, product offers and prices are valid as long as they are displayed on the Site, while supplies last.

If a product is unavailable after an order has been placed, the Customer will be informed of the timeframe within which the product will become available. If the Customer does not wish to wait for the product to become available, or if the product is permanently unavailable, the Customer will be refunded the full amount paid if their bank account has been debited, within 14 days of the order’s cancellation, in accordance with Article L216-3 of the French Consumer Code.


5. Price

All prices of products offered for sale on the website are listed in euros, inclusive of all taxes, excluding shipping costs. These shipping costs are displayed before the order is confirmed. Prices include the French VAT rate applicable on the date of the order, and any change in the rate will be automatically reflected in the prices of products in the online store.

The products remain the property of the Seller until full payment has been received. However, upon pickup or receipt of the order by the Customer or their representative, the risk associated with the goods picked up or delivered is transferred to the Customer.


6. Payment

Payment is made by credit card or in cash on the day the order is placed.

The Customer warrants to the Seller that it has all necessary authorizations to use credit card payments.

The security of online credit card payments is guaranteed by the SYSTEM PAY secure payment service provided by the CAISSE D’EPARGNE GROUP. The Customer’s confidential data (the 16-digit credit card number, expiration date, and security code) is encrypted directly and transmitted to the SYSTEM PAY server without passing through the physical servers of the website. After registration is confirmed, SYSTEM PAY requests prior authorization from the credit card network and then issues an electronic certificate. The electronic certificate serves as proof of the transaction amount and date in accordance with legal provisions, with the date and time serving as evidence.

The order will not be considered accepted by the Seller until the relevant banking payment centers have given their approval and the Seller has validated the order in accordance with its risk acceptance criteria.

If the payment center and the Seller approve the transaction, the Customer will be notified via email with an order confirmation. If the transaction is declined, the order will be automatically rejected, and the Customer will also be notified via email.

Due to the rise in credit card fraud, the Seller reserves the right either to contact the Customer at the phone number provided in the registration form or to request a photocopy of the Customer’s ID and/or proof of address. In case of doubt regarding the identity of the cardholder or the person placing the order, the Seller reserves the right to refuse an order; the Customer will then be notified by email.


7. Delivery

Shipping costs are shown during the checkout process.

If the Customer chooses home delivery, it is their responsibility to assess whether delivery and drop-off are feasible; in other words, the delivery location must be easily accessible. It is also their responsibility to specify any access requirements (elevator, access code, etc.) when placing the order.

The Customer is solely responsible for any failure to deliver and/or drop off the item due to insufficient instructions provided at the time of ordering.

If the delivered product has any visible defects, the Customer is advised to have the delivery person document this in writing at the time of delivery.

Delivery times are expressed in business days and represent the average time required to process and ship an order within mainland France, ranging from 2 (two) to 3 (three) business days from the date the order is shipped.

The maximum delivery time is 15 (fifteen) business days.

Delivery and pickup times begin upon the Seller’s shipment of the order, which will be confirmed by an email sent to the Customer.

If items are to be delivered on different dates due to the availability of the ordered products, the estimated delivery time will be based on the longest lead time.

If delivery is delayed beyond the maximum timeframe specified by the Seller, the Seller will notify the Customer by email; in such cases, the Customer may decide to cancel the order. If the order has not yet been shipped upon receipt of the Customer’s cancellation notice, the delivery will be canceled and the Customer will be refunded any amounts charged within 14 days of receipt of said cancellation notice, in accordance with the provisions of Article L216-3 of the French Consumer Code.

If the order has already been shipped, the Customer may still cancel the order by refusing delivery of the package. In this case, the Seller will issue a refund for the products within 14 days of receiving the returned package, provided it is complete and in its original condition.

If the Customer is not present on the day of delivery, the Customer should refer to the terms and conditions listed on the delivery notice left at the delivery address.

Les commandes expédiées hors Union européenne sont facturées hors taxes. Des droits de douane, taxes locales ou frais d’importation peuvent être exigés par les autorités du pays de destination et restent à la charge du client.
8. Compliance

Except in the case of the statutory warranty of conformity addressed in Article 10 below, the Customer must verify that the delivered goods comply with the order before signing any delivery document.

If, at the time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn, or opened, the Customer must check the condition of the products. If they have been damaged, the Customer must refuse the package and note a reservation on the delivery slip (“package refused because it was opened or damaged”). The Customer must indicate on the delivery slip, in the form of handwritten reservations accompanied by their signature, any issues regarding the delivery (missing items compared to the delivery slip, damaged package, damaged product, etc.). This verification is considered complete once the Customer, or a person authorized by them, has signed the delivery slip.

The Customer must notify the Seller on the day of delivery or, at the latest, on the first business day following delivery, of any claim regarding delivery errors and/or non-conformity of the products in terms of type or quality compared to the information listed on the order form. However, if the carrier fails to demonstrate that it gave you the opportunity to actually verify the condition of the goods, this period is extended to ten days.

Any claim filed after these deadlines will be rejected.

The complaint may be filed, at the Customer’s discretion:

  • Through the contact form available on the Website at the URL https://www.bayona.fr/nous-contacter
  • By email to serviceclient@bayona.fr;

Any claim not made in accordance with the procedures set forth above and within the specified time limits will not be considered and will release the Seller from any liability toward the Customer.

In the event of a delivery error or exchange, any product to be refunded must be returned to the Seller in its original packaging to the following address:

BAYONA - LARRALDE
2 Avenue de Jalday
64500 Saint-Jean-de-Luz

This right of return may be exercised without penalty. The Customer will be reimbursed via a credit to their bank account (secure transaction) within 30 days of receipt of the product or of receipt of proof of shipment of the product, whichever occurs first.

In all cases covered by this article, returns will only be accepted for complete products in their original condition (original packaging, instructions, accessories, etc.).

 

9. Withdrawals

9.1 Principle

In accordance with the provisions of Articles L221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the Customer has 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the item to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to provide a reason for their decision or incur any additional costs, except for the return shipping costs, which remain the Customer’s responsibility.

If an order includes multiple items that are delivered separately, the return period begins on the date the last item is received.

Pursuant to Article L221-18(3), the Customer may not exercise the right of withdrawal for orders relating to items manufactured to the Customer’s specifications or that are highly personalized.


9.2 How to Exercise the Right of Withdrawal

We will only accept returns of products that are returned in their entirety, in their original, complete, and undamaged packaging, and in perfect condition for resale. Any product that has been damaged, or whose original packaging has been damaged, will not be refunded.

In accordance with the provisions of Article L121-21-2 of the Consumer Code, the Customer must notify the Seller of their decision to cancel the purchase before the expiration of the aforementioned 14-day period.

The product must be returned to the Seller within this same timeframe, in its entirety, in its original packaging, along with contact information sufficient to identify the order number and the Customer, to the following address:

BAYONA - LARRALDE
2 Avenue de Jalday
64500 Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Customers can contact customer service by email at serviceclient@bayona.fr or by phone at 05.59.26.99.61.

This right of return may be exercised without penalty.

To facilitate the processing of the Customer’s request, we recommend that they use the return form available in their customer account.

 

9.3 Refund

The Customer will be refunded via a credit to their bank account (secure transaction) upon the Seller’s receipt of the returned products, or upon receipt of proof of shipment of the product, whichever occurs first.

Shipping costs are non-refundable.

The refund will be processed using the same payment method the Customer used for the original transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to have the refund processed via a different payment method.

However, in accordance with Article L221-23 of the Consumer Code, the Seller may hold the Customer liable in the event of any depreciation in the value of the item resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish its nature, characteristics, and proper functioning.

The Customer must handle and inspect the item with due care during the cancellation period.

 

10. Statutory Warranties

Notwithstanding the contractual warranty described below, the Seller remains liable for any lack of conformity of the product under the conditions set forth in Articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and for any latent defects under the conditions set forth in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code:
"The Seller is liable under the warranty for hidden defects in the item sold that render it unfit for its intended use, or that so impair its use that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would have paid only a lower price for it, had the Customer been aware of such defects."
Article 1648, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code:
"An action based on latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect."
If you seek an amicable resolution prior to taking legal action, please note that such efforts do not suspend the time limits for asserting legal remedies or the duration of the contractual warranty described below.
