Ordering on the “Site” is subject to strict compliance with a procedure described below and concretized online by a succession of different screens on which are indicated the various phases that the “Customer” must follow to validate his order by the “Company”.

Orders are placed online, in accordance with the order form on the “Site” (click: Add to order account).

Indeed, a company customer will not be able to buy in a grouped way and benefit from the same advantages as an individual customer, in particular as regards the rules of accumulation of advantages during the purchase.

The “Company” reserves the right to refuse or cancel the order if it believes that the customer is engaged in distribution or economic activity with the products so ordered, or for any other legitimate reason.

In accordance with the Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, the “Customer” has a right to access, modify, rectify and delete personal data concerning him. To exercise this right, he/she just needs to send a letter to the “Company”.

The online “Customer” can freely fill in his order account, delete an item he no longer wishes to purchase, modify the quantities ordered or add a “Product” by clicking on the corresponding buttons. The “Customer” must then validate the billing address and the place of delivery, as well as the chosen secure payment method: check, credit card, paypal.

Once all this information has been regularly entered and validated, the “Client” clicks on the “Validate” button and his order form is directly transmitted to the “Company” department. The “Customer” then sees his order number displayed.

The “Customer” has the possibility to check the details of his order project and to correct possible errors. From the moment the “Customer” confirms his order by clicking on the “Validate” icon, he is considered to have accepted with full knowledge of the facts the present general conditions of sale, the prices, volumes and quantities of the products offered for sale and ordered by him.

Orders are binding on the “Client” upon receipt by the “Company” of the order form duly completed and validated by the “Client” by clicking on the “Validate” button.

However, the order is only carried out subject to confirmation of the order by the “Company” to the “Customer” by e-mail, including all the information communicated by the “Customer” with an indication of any difficulties or reservations raised by the order (availability of the “Products” ordered or method of payment chosen).

The “Company” recommends that the “Customer” keep the information contained in the order confirmation sent by the “Company” on a paper or computer document.

The “Customer” has a withdrawal period of fourteen days following the validation of the Order. This withdrawal must be notified to the “Company” by e-mail to the address: www.eva-vautier.com, or by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt to the address of the “Company”.
