ARTICLE 8 – Seller’s Liability – Warranty
8.1. The Products sold on the website comply with the regulations in force in France and have performances compatible with non-professional use.
The Products supplied by the Seller benefit ipso jure and without additional payment, regardless of the right of withdrawal, and in accordance with legal provisions:
– the legal guarantee of conformity for Products that are visibly defective, damaged or broken or which do not correspond to the order,
– the legal guarantee against hidden defects resulting from a defect in material, design or manufacture affecting the products delivered and rendering them unfit for use,
under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures referred to in the box below and defined in the appendix to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (Guarantee of Conformity / Hidden Defect Guarantee).
It is reiterated that as part of the legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer:
– has a period of two years from the delivery of the property to take action against the Seller;
– may choose between repairing or replacing the Product ordered, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L 217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
– is exempted from providing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the Product during the six months following the delivery of the latter. This period is increased to twenty-four (24) months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.
8.2. The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of the commercial guarantee which may cover the Product.
The Customer may decide to apply for the guarantee against hidden defects in the Product in accordance with article 1641 of the French Civil Code; in this case, they may choose between the cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with 1644 of the French Civil Code.
In order to assert their rights, the Customer must inform the Seller, in writing, of the non-conformity of the Products within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days from the delivery of the Products or the existence of hidden defects within the above-mentioned deadlines, and return the defective Products to the Seller in the condition in which they were received with all the elements (accessories, packaging, instructions, etc.).
The Seller shall refund, replace or have repaired Products or parts under warranty deemed non-compliant or defective. Shipping costs will be refunded on the basis of the invoiced price and return costs will be refunded upon presentation of supporting documents.

8.3. The Seller’s liability shall not be engaged in the following cases:
– non-compliance with the legislation of the country in which the products are delivered, which it is the Customer’s responsibility to check,
– in the event of misuse, professional use, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, as well as in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product, accidents or force majeure.
The Seller’s warranty is, in any event, limited to the replacement or refund of non-conforming or defective Products.
ARTICLE 9 – Personal data protection
In accordance with law 78-17 of 6 January 1978 amended by law no. 2018-493 of 20 June 2018, it is recalled that the personal data requested from the Customer is necessary for the processing of their order and in particular for the preparation of invoices. This data may be communicated to any partners of the Seller responsible for the performance, processing, management and payment of orders. The processing of information communicated via the www.capucheparis.com website meets the legal requirements for the protection of personal data, the information system used ensuring optimal protection of such data. In accordance with the national and European regulations in force, the Customer has a right of permanent access, modification, rectification, opposition, portability and processing limitation with regard to the information concerning them.
This right may be exercised under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures defined on the website www.capucheparis.com.
ARTICLE 10 – Intellectual property
10.1 The content of the www.capucheparis.com website is the property of the Seller and its partners and is protected by French and international laws relating to intellectual property.
Any total or partial reproduction of this content is strictly prohibited and may constitute an infringement of copyright.
10.2. Furthermore, the Seller retains ownership of all intellectual property rights to photographs, presentations, studies, drawings, models, prototypes, etc., made (even at the Customer’s request) for the purpose of providing the Services to the Customer. The Client therefore undertakes to refrain from any reproduction or exploitation of said studies, drawings, models and prototypes, etc., without the express, written and prior authorization of the Seller, who may make it conditional to a financial counterparty.
ARTICLE 11 – Unforeseen events
11.1. These general terms and conditions of sale expressly exclude the legal regime of unforeseen events set out in Article 1195 of the French Civil Code for all transactions involving the Sale of the Seller’s Products to the Customer. The Seller and the Customer therefore each waive availing themselves of the provisions of Article 1195 of the French Civil Code and the contingency regime provided for therein, undertaking to assume their obligations even if the balance of the contract is disturbed by circumstances which were unforeseeable at the time the sale was concluded, even if their performance would prove excessively costly, and to bear all the economic and financial consequences thereof.
11.2. However, if the change in unforeseeable circumstances at the time the contract was concluded is definitive or lasts longer than 2 months, these terms and conditions shall be purely and simply annulled in accordance with the procedures defined in the article “Annulment due to unforeseen circumstances”.
ARTICLE 12 – Forced performance
12.1. In the event of a breach by either Party of its obligations, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to request the forced performance of the obligations arising hereunder. In derogation from the provisions of Article 1221 of the French Civil Code, the creditor of the obligation may continue this forced performance after simple formal notice sent to the debtor of the obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt which has remained unsuccessful, whatever the circumstances, and even if there is a manifest disproportion between its cost to the debtor, in good faith, and its interest to the creditor.
12.2. The non-defaulting Party may, in the event of non-performance of any of the obligations incumbent on the other Party, request the termination of the contract in accordance with the procedures defined in the article “Termination of the contract”.
ARTICLE 13 – Non-performance exception
13.1. It is recalled that pursuant to Article 1219 of the French Civil Code, each Party may refuse to fulfil its obligation, even if it is due, if the other Party does not fulfil its obligation and if such non-performance is sufficiently serious, i. e. likely to jeopardize the continuation of the contract or fundamentally disturb its economic balance. The suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the defaulting Party of the notice of default sent to it to such end by the non-defaulting Party indicating the intention to apply the exception of non-performance until the defaulting Party has remedied the breach found, served by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium enabling proof of dispatch to be provided.
This exception of non-performance may also be used as a preventive measure, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1220 of the French Civil Code, if it is clear that one of the Parties will not fulfil its obligations on the due date and that the consequences of such non-performance are sufficiently serious for the non-defaulting Party.
13.2. This option is used at the risk of the Party taking the initiative.
The suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the alleged defaulting Party of notification of the intention to apply the exception of preventive non-performance until the alleged defaulting Party has fulfilled the obligation for which a future breach is evident, served by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium providing proof of dispatch.
13.3. However, if the impediment is definitive or lasts beyond thirty (30) days from the date on which the impediment was noted by registered letter, writ, etc., this Agreement shall be purely and simply terminated in accordance with the procedures defined in Article “Termination for breach by a party of its obligations”.
ARTICLE 14 – Force majeure
14.1. The Parties may not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations described herein results from a case of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
14.2. The Party which takes note of the event must immediately inform the other Party of its inability to perform its service, and prove this. The suspension of obligations may under no circumstances invoke liability for failure to perform the obligation in question, nor induce the payment of damages or late payment penalties. The performance of the obligation is suspended for the duration of the force majeure if it is temporary and does not exceed fifteen (15) days. Consequently, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations has disappeared, the Parties shall make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible. To this end, the prevented Party shall notify the other Party of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by any extrajudicial document.
14.3. If the impediment is definitive or exceeds a period of fifteen (15) days, these Presents shall be purely and simply cancelled in accordance with the procedures defined in the article “Termination for force majeure”. During this suspension, the Parties agree that the costs generated by the situation shall be divided in half.
ARTICLE 15 – Agreement termination
15.1. Termination due to unforeseen circumstances
Termination due to the impossibility to perform an obligation which has become excessively onerous may, notwithstanding the clause Termination for failure by a party to fulfil its obligations set out below, only take place thirty (30) days after the sending of a formal notice stating the intention to apply this clause, notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial document.
15.2 Termination for non-performance of a sufficiently serious obligation
The Party which is the victim of the default may, notwithstanding the clause Termination for breach by a Party of its obligations set out below, in the event of a sufficiently serious breach of any of the obligations incumbent upon the other Party, notify the defaulting Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt of the termination for fault of these Presents, fifteen (15) days after the sending of a formal notice to comply which has proved unsuccessful, pursuant to the provisions of article 1224 of the French Civil Code.
15.3. Termination for force majeure
The automatic termination due to force majeure, notwithstanding the clause Termination for breach by a party of its obligations set out below, may only take place fifteen (15) days after the sending of formal notice notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or any extrajudicial document. However, this formal notice must mention the intention to apply this clause.
15.4. Termination for breach by a party of its obligations
In the event of non-compliance by either party with its obligations under the articles of this agreement, it may be terminated at the aggrieved party’s discretion. It is expressly understood that this termination for failure by a party to fulfil its obligations will take place automatically, the formal notice resulting solely from the non-fulfilment of the obligation, without any summons or formalities.
ARTICLE 16 – Mutual provisions in the event of termination
It is expressly agreed between the Parties that the debtor of an obligation to pay under this agreement shall be validly in default by the sole fact of the obligation being due, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1344 of the French Civil Code.
The services exchanged between the Parties from the conclusion of the contract to its termination can only be useful if the contract is fully performed, and will give rise to full restitution.
In any event, the aggrieved Party may initiate legal action for damages.
ARTICLE 17 – Applicable law – Language
These general terms and conditions of sale and the operations resulting therefrom are governed by and subject to French law. They are drafted in French. In the event that they are translated into one or more foreign languages, the French text alone shall prevail in the event of a dispute.
ARTICLE 18 – Disputes
18.1. All disputes to which the purchase and sale transactions concluded pursuant to these general terms and conditions of sale may give rise, with regard to their validity, construction, performance, termination, consequences and future developments and which have not been resolved amicably between the seller and the customer shall be submitted to the competent courts under common law conditions.
The Customer is informed that they may in any event resort to conventional mediation, in particular with the Commission de la médiation de la consommation [Consumer Mediation Commission] (article L 612-1 of the French Consumer Code).
18.2. A Customer who realizes that a violation of the GDPR has been committed has the possibility of mandating an association or body mentioned in IV of Article 43 ter of the Data Protection Act of 1978 in order to obtain compensation against the data controller or processor before a civil or administrative court, or before the commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés [French data protection authority].
The fact that a natural person (or legal entity) orders on the website www.capucheparis.com implies full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and obligation to pay for the Products ordered, which is expressly acknowledged by the Customer. The latter waives, in particular, the right to rely on any contradictory document which may not be enforceable against the Seller.
