Any order placed on the website implies full and unreserved acceptance of the GTCS by clicking on the tick box associated with the GTCS, which can be consulted directly before confirming the order.

However, to ensure a better pre-sales and after-sales service, when you buy online, the AD NAUTIC franchise network shop of your choice will be your first point of contact for any advice, product information or complaints. This shop will be the point of contact for any requests or complaints.

ARTICLE 2 - PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

The characteristics of the products offered are shown in the electronic catalogue. The information in this catalogue has been compiled in good faith using the instructions and documentation supplied by the Company's suppliers and faithfully reproduces the products offered for sale. Any minor variations in the representation of the products do not engage our responsibility and do not affect the validity of the sale. The photos and texts of the items shown are not contractual. We reserve the right to change items to improve quality or performance. Please contact the AD NAUTIC shop of your choice for further information about the products and advice on their use.

ARTICLE 3 - ORDERING PROCESS

The order process takes place in the following stages:

How to order: By clicking on the "Confirm your order" icon at the end of the order process, the order is firmly accepted, as are the associated delivery charges.

Acknowledgement of receipt: For all orders placed online, the Company will send you an acknowledgement of receipt by e-mail. This acknowledgement of receipt includes an order identification number, identification of the goods ordered, the price inclusive of all taxes, including the price of the products and the amount inclusive of all taxes for delivery costs. This acknowledgement means that the order is being processed by the Company.

Changes to the terms of the order: If a product is unavailable after the order has been placed, the Company will inform the customer by e-mail of the new delivery date. However, the customer may make a request to the Company's customer service department to cancel the order. In the event of cancellation of the order at the Customer's initiative, the Company undertakes to refund the Customer within thirty (30) days of confirmation that the Company has taken the Customer's decision into account. In the event that a product is unavailable, the Company reserves the right to split the order placed and to deliver the products ordered that are available. However, this splitting will not result in any additional delivery costs.

Tracking your order: We invite you to follow the progress of your order live on our website in the "your account" tab. You will need to enter your login and password for each consultation.

Print the items in your order: We recommend that you store a copy of your order, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the acknowledgement of receipt, the message modifying the terms of the order, as well as any other message that we may exchange or that you may exchange with your AD NAUTIC shop.

Right to refuse an order: The Company reserves the right not to accept an order or not to validate your order and/or to suspend the execution of your order for any legitimate reason, in particular if:

  • your order does not comply with the GTCS;
  • the quantities of products ordered would not correspond to normal use by a customer acting as a consumer; and
  • one of your previous orders has not been paid for in full by the due date;
  • Your order contains a pricing error.

ARTICLE 4 - DELIVERY AND COLLECTION CONDITIONS

4.1 Delivery. We endeavour to organise our business in such a way as to meet the delivery dates announced. In the event that the delivery date is exceeded by more than seven (7) days from the date initially announced, it is possible to request cancellation of the said order by contacting the Company's customer service department via its website, except in cases of force majeure. The following are expressly not considered to be cases of force majeure: war, riot, fire, total or partial strike by the Company or the supplier of the products ordered, blockage of means of transport or supply, particularly postal services, a failure of the Internet or telecommunications network. Delivery means handing over the products at the address indicated when the order was placed.

4.2 Withdrawal. It is the customer's responsibility to take delivery of the products sent to them or to collect them from the address and within the period indicated by the carrier. If the products are not withdrawn within the allotted time, the Company will automatically terminate the sale and retain the products to satisfy any other customer orders. It will then be possible to request reimbursement of the sums paid by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The reimbursement will be for the amount of the price paid after deduction of all costs resulting from the failure to collect the products, and in particular all costs of sending and returning the products and the costs of managing the file. In the absence of a request for reimbursement within thirty (30) days following the end of the period during which the customer was required to collect the products, the Company shall be entitled to definitively retain the sums paid.

ARTICLE 5 - RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

In the case of a distance contract, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract without penalty and without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt of the products. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day. This right of withdrawal cannot be exercised in the following cases:

> the supply of goods made to the customer's specifications or clearly personalised or which, by their nature, cannot be returned or are likely to deteriorate or expire quickly, cut products such as rope, bungee cords, nets, electronic cables and chains cannot be returned or exchanged;

> the supply of products containing computer software or electronic maps containing a geographical area determined by the customer;

If the right of withdrawal is exercised, the Company undertakes to refund all sums paid. The refund is due, by any means of payment, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the request by the customer, or failing that, on receipt of the said product. However, the cost of returning the goods shall be borne by the customer.

The right of withdrawal can only be exercised if the products are returned to us:

  • in their original packaging,
  • in perfect working order and presentation,
  • without having been used or installed.

The costs and responsibility for returning the products shall be borne by the customer. It is the customer's responsibility to select the most appropriate means of transport and to pack the product with the greatest care, taking into account its fragility. A product that does not comply with the above return conditions or that is damaged, in particular during transport, will not be reimbursed.

Refusal to collect the products from the carrier cannot be justified by the exercise of this right of withdrawal.

ARTICLE 6 - PRICES

Products ordered online are invoiced by the manager of the AD NAUTIC site or by one of the shops in the ACASTILLAGE DIFFUSION network that the Internet user has chosen, on the basis of the online price list in force at the time of your order. Prices are in euros, inclusive of VAT and exclusive of delivery charges. The prices indicated are subject to errors or technical incidents, in which case the customer will be notified as soon as possible.

The Company reserves the right to cancel an order in the event of an obvious error in the price or a technical error displaying a derisory price or a price that contravenes article L. 442-2 of the French Commercial Code prohibiting sales at a loss.

The Company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but undertakes to apply the prices in force when the order is registered, subject to the availability of the products on that date.

ARTICLE 7 - PAYMENT

Terms of payment: Payments must be made in Euros. Payment for the order is made at the time the order is placed by credit card, gift card or online payment tool such as Paypal.

The card is debited when the order is validated.

Payments are secured by the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) data exchange encryption protocol and use the Hipay or Sogenactif payment platform.

Reservation of ownership: IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 2367 OF THE CIVIL CODE, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE OWNERSHIP OF THE GOODS DELIVERED UNTIL FULL PAYMENT OF THEIR PRICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY. ANY CLAUSE TO THE CONTRARY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE UNWRITTEN. Partial payments will be applied in priority to the oldest sales. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its ownership rights in any of the Products in the possession of the Client. As these products are conventionally presumed to be unpaid, the Company may take them back or claim them as compensation for all its unpaid invoices, without any formality, at the Client expense and risk.

ARTICLE 8 - CONDITIONS FOR RETURNING GOODS

For any complaint, the customer must contact the chosen AD NAUTIC shop whose contact details appear on the Acknowledgement of Receipt of the order or on the invoice or, where applicable, directly to the Company.

Examination of products on receipt and reservations: the customer must check the conformity of the products as soon as they are received.

If the products do not conform to the order or have any anomaly, it is necessary to indicate this precisely on the delivery note in the form of reservations.

These reservations and any other complaints about the conformity or condition of the goods must be sent within 48 hours to the carrier and to your AD NAUTIC shop. If, at the time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or open, it is necessary to check the condition of the items. If they have been damaged, you must refuse the parcel and note a reservation on the delivery note (parcel refused because opened or damaged).

In all other cases, products considered to be non-conforming, damaged or suffering from an apparent defect must be kept. The procedure to be followed will be indicated by e-mail, including the method of return. Compliance with these deadlines and provisions is a condition for your reservations to be taken into account and for the order to be cancelled.

In the event of a proven lack of conformity, an apparent defect in the product or damage to the product, the Company will send a new product as soon as possible. It will be necessary to request a transport coupon for the Company to cover the cost of returning and shipping the replacement product. Under no circumstances should the product be returned to us outside this procedure. In the event that identical replacement of the product is not possible, the Company will offer a similar product or the cancellation of the sale for the product concerned only and reimbursement of its price.
