Article 1 - Application of the T&Cs and purpose of the Site

The Seller reserves the right to modify the T&Cs at any time by publishing a new version of them on the Site. The T&Cs applicable to the Client are those in force on the day of the order on the Site

Legal information concerning the host and publisher of the Site, the collection and processing of personal data and the conditions of use of the Site are provided in the general terms and conditions of use, the legal notice and the data charter of this Site.

This Site offers the online sale of aeronautical parts.

The Site is freely accessible to all Customers. The acquisition of a Product or Service implies the Client's acceptance of all of these T&Cs, who acknowledges that he/she has fully read them. This acceptance may consist, for example, for the Client, of ticking the box corresponding to the sentence of acceptance of these T&Cs, having for example the mention " I acknowledge that I have read and accepted all the general terms and conditions of the Site ". Ticking this box will be deemed to have the same value as a handwritten signature from the Client.

Acceptance of these T&Cs assumes that the Clients have the necessary legal capacity to do so. If the Client is a minor or does not have this legal capacity, he/she declares that he/she has the authorization of a guardian, curator or his/her legal representative.

The Client acknowledges the evidentiary value of the Seller's automatic registration systems and, unless the Client provides proof to the contrary, waives the right to contest them in the event of a dispute.

The Publisher makes available to the Client, on its Website, a confidentiality charter specifying all the information relating to the use of the Client's personal data collected by the Publisher and the rights that the Client has with regard to this personal data. The data privacy policy is part of the GTC.  Acceptance of these T&Cs therefore implies acceptance of the data privacy policy.

Article 2 - Creation of a customer account

The creation of a "customer account" is an essential prerequisite for any order placed by the Client on this Site. To this end, the Client will be asked to provide a certain amount of personal information such as his first and last name, his email address, his postal address and his telephone number, this list being not exhaustive. As such, the Client undertakes to provide accurate information. The Client is responsible for updating his/her data. He must therefore notify the Seller without delay in the event of a change. The Client is solely responsible for the truthfulness, accuracy and relevance of the data provided.

The Client registered with the Site has the possibility to access it by logging in using his credentials (e-mail address defined at the time of registration and password) or possibly by using systems such as third-party social network login buttons. The Client is solely responsible for protecting the password he has chosen. They are encouraged to use strong passwords. In case of forgetting a password, the Client has the option of generating a new one. This password is the guarantee of the confidentiality of the information contained in its "my account" section and the Client is therefore prohibited from transmitting or communicating it to a third party. Otherwise, the Seller cannot be held responsible for unauthorized access to a Customer's account.

The customer account allows the Customer to view all orders placed on the Site. If the data contained in the customer account section were to disappear as a result of a technical failure or a case of force majeure, the Seller could not be held liable, as this information has no probative value but is only informative. The pages relating to the customer account can be freely printed by the Client who holds the account in question but do not constitute proof, they are only of an informative nature intended to ensure the efficient management of his orders or contributions by the Client.

Each Client is free to close his/her account on the Site. To do so, they must send an email to the Seller indicating that they wish to delete their account. No recovery of its data will then be possible.

The Seller reserves the exclusive right to delete the account of any Client who has contravened these T&Cs (in particular and without this example being exhaustive, when the Client has knowingly provided incorrect information when registering and setting up his personal space) or any account that has been inactive for at least one year. Said deletion will not be likely to constitute damage for the Client, who will not be able to claim any compensation as a result. This exclusion does not exclude the possibility for the Seller to take legal action against the Client, when the facts have justified it.

Article 7 - Product Warranty

Legal provisions to be reproduced


When acting under a legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act; they may choose between repair or replacement of the property, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code; Except for second-hand goods, it is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the six months following the delivery of the goods, a period extended to 24 months from 18 March 2016.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee granted.

The consumer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects of the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code, unless the seller has stipulated that he will not be obliged to any warranty; In the event that this guarantee is implemented, the buyer has the choice between rescission of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. He has a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.

The postponement, suspension or interruption of the limitation period may not have the effect of extending the extinctive limitation period beyond twenty years from the day on which the right arose, in accordance with Article 2232 of the Civil Code.

 

All items purchased on this site benefit from the following legal guarantees, provided for by the Civil Code;

Legal guarantee of conformity

According to articles L.217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code, the Seller is required to deliver goods in accordance with the contract concluded with the Consumer Customer and to be liable for any lack of conformity that exists during the delivery of the Product. The guarantee of conformity may be exercised if a defect should exist on the day of taking possession of the Product. However, when the defect has appeared within 24 months of this date (or within 6 months if the order was placed before 18 March 2016 or the Product is sold second-hand), it is presumed to meet this condition. But, in accordance with Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code, " the Seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the [Product] or the lack of conformity invoked ".

On the other hand, after this period of 24 months (or 6 months if the order was placed before March 18, 2016 or if the product is sold second-hand), it will be up to the Customer to prove that the defect existed at the time of taking possession of the Product.

In accordance with Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code: " In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the good. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other modality, taking into account the value of the property or the extent of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless this is impossible, in the manner not chosen by the purchaser ."

Legal warranty against hidden defects

According to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, the Client may request the exercise of the warranty against hidden defects if the defects presented did not appear at the time of purchase, were prior to the purchase (and therefore do not result from normal wear and tear of the Product for example), and are sufficiently serious (the defect must either render the Product unfit for the use for which it is intended, or diminish such use to such an extent that the purchaser would not have purchased the Product or would not have purchased it at such a price if he had known of the defect).

Complaints, requests for exchange or reimbursement for a non-compliant Product must be made by post or email to the addresses indicated in the site's legal notice.

In the event of non-conformity of a delivered Product, it may be returned to the Seller who will proceed with its exchange. In the event that it is impossible to exchange the Product (obsolete Product, out of stock, etc.), the Customer will be reimbursed by cheque or bank transfer for the amount of his order. The costs of the exchange or refund procedure (in particular the shipping costs for returning the Product) are then the responsibility of the Seller.

Article 11 - Severability of clauses

If any provision of the T&Cs is held to be unlawful, void or for any other reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the T&Cs and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

These T&Cs supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral. The T&Cs are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by the Client himself.

A printed version of the T&Cs and of all notices given in electronic form may be requested in judicial or administrative proceedings in connection with the T&Cs. The parties agree that all correspondence relating to these T&Cs must be written in the French language.

Article 12 - Applicable law and mediation

These T&Cs are governed by and subject to French law.

Except as otherwise provided for by public policy, any disputes that may arise in connection with the execution of these T&Cs may, prior to any legal action, be submitted to the Site Publisher for an amicable settlement.

It is expressly recalled that requests for amicable settlement do not suspend the time limits for initiating legal proceedings. Unless otherwise provided by public policy, any legal action relating to the execution of these T&Cs shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction of the place where the defendant is domiciled.

Consumer Mediation
