Acceptance of the T&C's

By validating his/her order, the Customer acknowledges that he/she has read these GTC and expressly declares that he/she accepts all of these GTC without reservation. These GTC shall prevail over any other conditions appearing in any contradictory document, the act of purchasing entailing acceptance of these GTC.

This confirmation, as well as all e-mails and data recorded by LDT, shall constitute proof of the transactions between LDT and the customer. LDT shall therefore keep all elements relating to orders for a period of ten years.

These GTC are subject to change at any time and without notice. The new GTC will come into force on the date of their publication on the Site. In case of modification of the GTC, the applicable GTC are those in force at the date of the order.

The GTC are written in French in their original version which alone is authentic and prevails over any other version.

Product characteristics

LDT specialises in the creation and marketing of handmade clothing and household linen products (hereinafter the " Products ").

Information on all LDT's Products is available on the Site. Each Product is presented as follows:

- a detailed technical description (name, size, colour, and, if applicable, advice on care and use);
- a firm and definitive price indicated in euros, including all taxes (TTC), but excluding delivery costs. LDT reserves the right to modify the price of the products at any time, the applicable price being the price in force on the day of the order;
- a photograph (which is for illustrative purposes only, and is not contractually binding. LDT cannot be held responsible for any errors that may have been made).

The products comply with the regulations in force in France relating to the safety and health of persons, fair trading and consumer protection at the time they are placed on the market (Article L. 411-1 of the Consumer Code).

Any order implies acceptance of the prices and description of the products.

Placing the order

In accordance with article 1369-5 of the Civil Code, the placing of an order is materialised by the completion of the following steps:

1) Choice of Product: The Customer consults the file presenting the Product. The state of available stock is indicated. The Customer selects the Product(s) he/she wishes to order;

2)Checking the order:
the Customer checks the contents of the order, while retaining the possibility of deleting the Products selected before the Customer validates the shopping bag,

3) Identification: the Customer must
fill in the "guest" identification form or create an account by providing his compulsory personal information (title, surname, first name, or company name, address, email, telephone number);

4) Delivery method: the Customer chooses the delivery method;

5) Method of payment: the Customer shall choose the method of payment for the Order and shall proceed with such payment. The Customer must confirm his/her acceptance of these GTC by ticking the corresponding box. The order can only be validated once this box has been ticked. Once this step has been completed, the Customer may no longer modify and/or cancel the order.

6) Order confirmation: LDT sends an email to the Customer confirming and summarising the Order (the "Order Confirmation ").
The Customer is advised to keep and print this document as official proof of the order.

The order can be modified at any time until its final confirmation by the Customer, which constitutes final acceptance of the offer and triggers the processing of the order.

LDT reserves the right to cancel any order from a customer with whom there is a dispute regarding the payment of a previous order or who does not comply with these GTC.

The information provided by the Customer when placing an order is solely binding. In the event of an error in the Customer's contact details, LDT cannot be held responsible for the impossibility of delivering the product.

7) Confirmation of the dispatch of the order: the Customer receives an e-mail summarising the contents of his order and confirming that it has been dispatched. The contract is deemed to have been concluded on the date this e-mail is sent.

8) Order tracking: A carrier tracking number is provided to the Customer when the order is validated.

If the Customer wishes to obtain information concerning the follow-up of his/her order, he/she can connect to the website of the chosen carrier.

Product availability

The Products visible on the Site are available while stocks last. Consequently, and unless the Company validates a final order, it does not guarantee that the Products will be available for a given period of time, nor their price.

In the event that the Products are not available after the order has been placed and paid for, LDT will inform the Customer by e-mail. The order will then be automatically cancelled and no bank debit will be made or the Customer will be reimbursed by bank transfer.

LDT shall not be held liable in the event of stock shortages or unavailability of Products for orders not yet accepted by LDT.

LDT reserves the right to change the Products offered on the Site at any time and without notice.

In order to ensure a better quality of service and availability of its Products to all
customers of the Site, LDT reserves the right to limit the quantity of Products that can be purchased by a customer, in accordance with the provisions applicable in this regard and in particular those of Article L.121-11 of the French Consumer Code.

While every effort is made to ensure that the colour and print of the Products are faithful to the original Products, variations may occur, particularly due to the technical limitations of colour rendering on the Customer's computer equipment. Consequently, LDT cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that are not substantial in the photographs or graphic representations of the Products on the Site.

LDT reserves the right not to accept an order from a customer with whom it is in dispute over a previous order, or if LDT reasonably believes that the customer has violated these terms and conditions or engaged in fraudulent activity, or for any other legitimate reason.

Payment of products

Product prices

The prices are indicated in Euros,
including all taxes, excluding shipping costs, depending on the delivery method chosen by the Client. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. The Products will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force on the day of the order, subject to the availability of the Products ordered at that time.

All orders are payable in Euros and must be paid immediately upon placing the order.

Customs duty

In the event of an order to a country outside the European Union, the price will be automatically calculated exclusive of tax on the invoice. Any order placed on the website and delivered outside mainland France may be subject to customs duties and any taxes that are imposed when the parcel reaches its destination, the Customer being an importer of the product concerned.

These duties and taxes, related to the delivery of the product, are the responsibility of the Customer. LDT is not obliged to check and inform the Customer of the applicable customs duties and taxes. To find out about them, it is up to the Customer to contact the competent authorities in his country.

Terms of payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the payment of the order is due immediately on the date of validation of the shopping bag by the Customer.

Payment is made in Euros by credit card, Visa, MasterCard or Paypal account made out to LUCAS DU TERTRE. The payment is made by the Customer according to the banking security standards.

Payment confirmation - Payment incident

Upon receipt of payment, LDT will confirm the payment with the Order Confirmation by e-mail to the address provided by the customer.

The order validated by the customer shall not be considered accepted by LDT until the sums due to LDT have been effectively cashed. In the event of bank acceptance being refused, LDT reserves the right to cancel the customer's current order.

In accordance with the provisions of article L.221-11 of the Consumer Code, the Customer will receive, at the latest at the time of delivery, for each of the articles, written confirmation of the price paid detailing the price of the articles and the delivery costs, if any, payable by the Customer.

Shipping and Delivery

The Products are delivered to the place indicated by the Customer as the "delivery address" at the time of the Order, which address may be different from the "billing address" or to the address of the relay point selected by the Customer.

Delivery times :

The products shall be delivered on the date or within the period indicated by LDT, or at the latest within thirty (30) days following the date of the order, in accordance with the method of delivery chosen by the Customer at the time of ordering.

The date of availability of the Products depends on the state of stocks, the date of dispatch of the order and the availability period induced by the delivery method.

The dates and deadlines indicated by LDT are only indicative. LDT reserves the right to change the previously announced deadlines. Delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances or for reasons related to the place of delivery.

LDT shall not be held responsible for reasonable delays or impossibility of fulfilling its contractual obligations due to force majeure events according to the case law in force. With the exception of deliveries in France, LDT declines all responsibility in the event that the Product delivered does not respect the legislation of the country of delivery. Lucas du Tertre is not responsible for late delivery, loss or damage caused by the carrier chosen by the customer.

Receipt of delivery :

Upon receipt the order, it is the responsibility of the Client, or the authorised recipient designated by the Client, to take physical possession of the Products ordered and to verify their conformity with the order, before signing the delivery note.

In the event of a problem, the Customer must express his reservations to the carrier, on the delivery slip, and within forty-eight (48) hours by email to the address: contact@lucasdutertre.com with confirmation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the customer service at the following address Lucas du Tertre, Service Réclamation, 117 rue De Turenne, 75003, Paris.

No complaint about the condition of the Products delivered will be accepted if the delivery note has been signed without reservation.

Legal guarantees

All the Products offered on the Site are subject to the legal guarantee of conformity (articles L. 217-4 and following of the Consumer Code) and to the guarantee of hidden defects (articles 1641 and following of the Civil Code), to the exclusion of all other guarantees.

These guarantees allow the Customer to return defective Products delivered and the corresponding items are listed in Annex 2.

LDT will not accept any claim for Products that have been used improperly or more
generally due to use not in accordance with its intended purpose.

Any complaint concerning the Products as such and not related to the delivery must be made by email to contact@lucasdutertre.com followed by a written confirmation sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the customer service at the following address

Lucas du Tertre - Claims Department, 117 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris

Legal guarantee of conformity :

LDT shall deliver to the Customer a Product that conforms to the Order and is free of defects in conformity at the time of
delivery of the Product, in that the Product shall be suitable for the use normally expected of a similar good and shall have the characteristics presented at the time of sale. LDT shall also be liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when the latter was made its responsibility by the contract or was carried out under its responsibility.

Legal guarantee against hidden defects :

LDT shall deliver to the Customer a Product free of hidden defects that would make it unsuitable for its intended use, or that so diminish this use that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known about them.

These guarantees will only come into play if the Customer makes the request within twenty-four (24) months of the delivery of the Product (for the legal guarantee of conformity) or of the discovery of the defect (for the legal guarantee of hidden defects).

Defects of conformity which appear within twenty-four (24) months of delivery shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

It is the Customer's responsibility to verify that the Products delivered correspond to his/her order as detailed in the Order Confirmation, and if not, to return the Products (i) after informing LDT by any means, and (ii) in their original packaging, or in packaging providing equivalent protection, in perfect condition, not used and accompanied by all accessories and documents provided (instructions, warranty, certificate of authenticity, etc.) as well as a copy of the invoice attached to the Products delivered.

LDT will pay the return shipping costs directly, up to a limit of one return shipment per order.

If no exchange is possible and if the customer does not wish to receive a credit note, the refund will be made by crediting the customer's bank account, at the latest within fourteen days of LDT's receipt of the returned products.

Within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer: (i) has a period of two (2) years from the delivery of the goods to act; (ii) can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code; and (iii) is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two (2) year period.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted.

The Customer may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, he may choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

Reservation of ownership

The Products remain the entire property of LDT until the Customer has paid the full price. However, the Customer assumes the risks (particularly of loss, theft or deterioration) concerning the Products delivered from the moment they are delivered to the address indicated at the time of ordering.

If the Customer fails to pay in full or in part, LDT may claim the Products delivered to the Customer without prior notice.

Withdrawal

Modalities

In accordance with articles L. 221-18 and following to the French Consumer Code, the Customer has a period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the Products, by the Customer or any third party designated by the latter, to exercise his/her right of withdrawal without having to justify his/her reasons or pay any penalties, with the exception of the cost of returning the Product.

In order to be able to exercise this right of withdrawal, the Customer must notify his decision to withdraw from the
contract to the customer service department, which will indicate the return address. This notification must be unambiguous, for example by email or post within the period of fourteen (14) days mentioned above.

Any product that has been damaged or whose original packaging has been damaged will not be refunded or exchanged.

In the event of withdrawal, LDT shall refund all payments received from the Customer, including delivery costs, with the exception of any additional costs arising from the fact that the Customer has chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by LDT, without undue delay, and in any event no later than fourteen (14) days after LDT has received the returned Products.

Refunds will be made via the payment method used by the Customer, or at the Customer's option, in the form of credit notes.
