6.2  PRODUCT INFORMATION

The products offered for sale are those presented on the Site or in-store. Products are described by Toulet using descriptive sheets and photographs on the Site with the greatest possible accuracy.

However, Toulet informs the Customer that, despite all due care taken, the photographs cannot ensure perfect similarity with the product offered for sale, particularly with regard to colors. Differences may result from the color quality of the photographs, the difficulty of accurately rendering materials on screen, or technical adaptations, without this list being exhaustive.

Such differences shall under no circumstances be interpreted as defects of conformity, nor shall they justify cancellation of the sale or give rise to Toulet’s liability.

Any order constitutes express and irrevocable acceptance of the product description.

6.3  PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

Decorative accessories, as well as billiards tables and table football units held in stock, are dispatched within 96 business hours following receipt of the order.

All billiards tables and table football units are manufactured after confirmation of the order, which implies an estimated delivery time communicated to the Customer on each product description page.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that Toulet will use its best efforts to process and fulfill all validated orders within the indicated timeframes.

In the event that, after confirmation of the order by Toulet, certain products become totally or partially unavailable, Toulet shall inform the Customer of such unavailability by email.

In accordance with Articles L216-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the Customer may terminate the contract by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt or by written notice on another durable medium if, after having requested the professional, under the same conditions, to perform delivery or provide the service within an additional reasonable period, the latter has failed to do so within such period.

Toulet shall refund the order within fourteen (14) days from the date on which the contract was terminated. The unavailability of products shall not give rise to Toulet’s liability.

The Customer must therefore take all necessary measures to ensure the proper execution of the delivery.

Any difficulty encountered during delivery for which the Customer is solely responsible shall result in the Customer bearing the costs associated with a new delivery (redelivery, dismantling, delivery through a window, etc.).

7.2  DELIVERY TERMS

Decorative accessories, lighting and rugs

Toulet’s carrier will contact the Customer to arrange a delivery date. In the event of the Customer’s absence on the scheduled delivery date, the Customer must contact the carrier no later than the day before the appointment in order to arrange a new delivery date.

When scheduling the delivery appointment with Toulet’s carrier, the Customer must expressly indicate any access difficulties that the carrier may encounter.

Any additional costs related to the rental of lifting equipment, crane delivery, or similar operations shall be borne by the Customer and invoiced by the carrier in addition to the sale price and delivery costs indicated on the Site.

The Customer undertakes to be present on the agreed delivery date and to verify the conformity of the order upon receipt.

In the event of the Customer’s absence at the delivery address or in the event of an error made by the Customer in the delivery address, the costs of a new delivery shall be borne by the Customer.

Likewise, in the event of impossibility of delivery due to access difficulties not previously reported, the costs of a new delivery shall be borne by the Customer.

Delivery and installation costs shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the products sold, on a flat-rate basis depending on the products ordered and the delivery address provided by the Customer. These costs are indicated prior to final validation of the order.

7.4  DELIVERY TIMES

Toulet informs the Customer of estimated delivery times on each product description page available on the Site.

Upon confirmation of the order by email, an estimated delivery date will be provided. This date will be confirmed and refined in the days following the order, once Toulet has completed the necessary checks and technical validations.

In the event of a delivery issue, Toulet undertakes to use its best efforts to inform the Customer of any potential delay.

In accordance with Articles L216-1 to L216-6 of the French Consumer Code, in the event of delay, the Customer may terminate the sale. In such case, the Customer shall be reimbursed for the full amount of the order, including delivery costs.

Toulet shall not be held liable where the delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure.

Before signing the delivery note, the Customer must:

  • Check the apparent condition of the package(s)
  • Check the condition of the products inside the package(s)
  • Verify the conformity of the products with both the delivery note and the ordered goods

It is therefore the Customer’s responsibility to carry out all necessary checks to assess the conformity of the products upon delivery. This verification shall be deemed to have been carried out once the Customer has signed the delivery note.

In the event of anomalies observed at the time of delivery, the Customer must make all necessary reservations, detailed, legible and as precise as possible (breakage, damage, non-conformity: incorrect product, different color and/or dimensions; missing items, etc.).

Where delivery is carried out by a carrier, the Customer must record their reservations on the delivery note. In the absence of precise reservations made by the Customer, the delivery shall be deemed compliant, subject to the warranties described in Article 9 below.

If the requested products are unavailable, Toulet will inform the Customer and proceed with a refund under the conditions described below.

Refund:

Where the right of withdrawal is exercised, Toulet undertakes to refund the Customer within fourteen (14) days from the date on which the right was exercised, in accordance with Article L121-21-4 of the French Consumer Code, after verification of the products.

In any event, the Customer benefits from the legal guarantee of conformity and the warranty against hidden defects in accordance with Articles L217-1 to L218-2 of the French Consumer Code and Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.

9.1  IN CASE OF LACK OF CONFORMITY

The selection and purchase of products by the Customer are under the Customer’s sole responsibility. Consequently, the total or partial inability to use the products, in particular due to product incompatibility, shall not give rise to any compensation, refund or liability on the part of Toulet, except in the case of a proven hidden defect, lack of conformity, defectiveness, or the exercise of the right of withdrawal provided for by the French Consumer Code.

Toulet shall not be held liable for any damage resulting from misuse of the products by the Customer or in the event of a fortuitous event or force majeure.
