MARKETING CREATION may modify the present GTCS at any time; the GTCS applicable to the Customer will be the GTCS in force on the day of the Customer's order.

In the event of an error on the Purchase Order, no return of Products can be made without the express and prior agreement of MARKETING CREATION.

To express its agreement and confirm the Order, the Customer shall return the signed proof of delivery within a maximum of two working days of its receipt

The express and unreserved acceptance of the GTCS, the description of the Products chosen, their quantities, customization, price and delivery conditions, constitutes confirmation of the Order. MARKETING CREATION shall not be held responsible for any error or omission made by the Client during the validation of the proof of order

As of the validation of the proof of delivery, the Customer is therefore obliged to accept the delivery and to pay the amount of the Products which were the subject of the proof of delivery, unless it can be shown that the delivery does not comply with the proof of delivery.

MARKETING CREATION undertakes to do its best to ensure that the photographic representation of the Products on the Site is as accurate as possible. It is nevertheless possible that, despite the best efforts of MARKETING CREATION, the Customer's perception of one (or more) Product(s) does not correspond completely. In this case, the difference in perception between the photographs presented on the Site and the Products received by the Customer cannot in any way engage the responsibility of MARKETING CREATION.

The Customer acknowledges having received all the necessary information prior to the conclusion of the present contract. The Customer acknowledges that, as a professional, he/she is solely responsible for choosing the Products and/or Services.

All intellectual property rights relating to the Products and their technical documentation remain the exclusive property of MARKETING CREATION. The Customer shall refrain from registering a title of ownership, in any form whatsoever, in France or abroad on the Products.

These prices are firm and cannot be revised during the validity period of the Order Form. The prices appearing in MARKETING CREATION's catalogs are only indicative and can be revised at any time by MARKETING CREATION

Payment of the Order price by the Client shall be made by cheque, credit card or by bank transfer to the MARKETING CREATION bank account, the details of which appear on the invoice

Unless otherwise specified in the quotation, payment for the Order shall be made upon receipt of the invoice by the Customer.

MARKETING CREATION also reserves the right to immediately suspend any and all pending deliveries, as well as to refuse any and all Orders without any formality being required

PRODUCT DELIVERY

Shipping costs

For all orders delivered outside of metropolitan France, the payment of local taxes and customs duties that may be applicable is the sole responsibility of the Customer. MARKETING CREATION shall not be held liable in the event of non-payment by the Customer of any sums of money thus due.

Delivery times

The Order shall be prepared and the delivery deadlines communicated to the Client in the Order form shall only begin to run once MARKETING CREATION has received the proof of delivery completed by the Client

Delivery times are given as an indication only: exceeding them cannot lead to the cancellation of the order, nor to compensation or damages. MARKETING CREATION reserves the right to suspend the delivery of the Products without any compensation if the Customer does not respect the agreed payment terms. MARKETING CREATION cannot be held responsible in case of delay or suspension of the delivery attributable to the Customer or in case of force majeure.

Delivery locations

The transport is made to the address indicated on the BAT. Deliveries are made throughout the European Economic Area. In the case where the conditions of transport would require exceptional means (for example island delivery) a contribution to the expenses will be invoiced to the Customer).

It is the Customer's responsibility to facilitate access for unloading the ordered Products. A clear area for unloading the product is imperative as close as possible to the place of deposit.

If the configuration of the place of delivery does not allow the carrier to make a safe delivery with its usual means of transport, the carrier may decide to use last mile logistics to finalize the delivery or will agree with the Customer on a new delivery point as close as possible to the delivery address indicated on the TAO. Any additional costs will be charged to the Customer.

The Customer must, at the time of the order, give his exact delivery address (which may be different from the billing address), mentioning all the details necessary for the success of the delivery, as well as a telephone number where he can be reached at the time of delivery.

Any omission or error affecting the delivery address, the accessibility of the location, the telephone number provided by the Customer or any other problem attributable to the Customer and resulting in the need to make a new delivery may be subject to additional billing for a new delivery at the expense of the Customer.

Transport, transfer of risk and transfer of ownership

The transfer of risks takes place when the carrier delivers the Products to the Customer. MARKETING CREATION will pay for the shipping costs and will take care of the shipping process, according to the "Free Shipping" mode

If the Customer wishes to take care of the transport by entrusting the delivery to a carrier of his choice, he shall bear the cost of the transport and the risks attached to the transport operation without being able to engage the responsibility of MARKETING CREATION in case of problems encountered during the delivery

The transfer of ownership takes place after full payment of the Products by the Customer

RESERVATION OF OWNERSHIP

MARKETING CREATION retains the ownership of the delivered Products until the effective collection of all sums due by the Customer for any reason whatsoever. However, the Customer, as the custodian of the Products, assumes the responsibility and the risks. As soon as a payment incident occurs, MARKETING CREATION may, as of right, demand the return of the delivered Product at the expense and risk of the defaulting Customer, and this without formal notice. The sale will be automatically cancelled and the deposits already paid will remain the property of MARKETING CREATION in exchange for the use of the Products by the Client, without this clause being considered as a penalty clause. In the event that the Products are resold, the original Client will be deemed to have made this sale on behalf of MARKETING CREATION, as an agent, selling the Products and collecting the amount of the sale price in the name and on behalf of MARKETING CREATION.
