Terms and Conditions of Sale and RGPD
Preamble
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “GTC”) apply exclusively between the artist Danielle Aspis (hereinafter “Danielle Aspis”) and any customer (hereinafter “Customer”) making a purchase via the website https://danielleaspis-artiste.com (hereinafter the “Site”). Danielle Aspis’ main activity is the creation of original numbered digital works printed in subligraphy or in Fine Art prints.
The GTC define the rights and obligations of the parties in the context of the sale of original works produced by Danielle Aspis and visible on the site. The GTC are the only ones applicable and replace all other conditions, unless Danielle Aspis expressly agrees otherwise in writing. At any time, Danielle Aspis reserves the right to adapt or modify certain points of the GTC, which will be immediately enforceable and applicable from the moment they are put online
Article 1 – Contract
The contract is deemed to have been concluded between the parties when Danielle Aspis accepts payment for an order.
By placing an order on the Site, the Customer confirms that he/she has read and accepted the version of the GTC in force on the day the order was placed.
By accepting the GTC, the Customer declares that he/she has the legal capacity to enter into a contract within the meaning of Articles 1123 et seq. of the French Civil Code.
Article 2 – Products
The products displayed on the Site are available for sale, subject to sufficient stocks as set out in Article 3.2 of the GTC.
Danielle Aspis provides the Customer, for information purposes, with pictures of the products offered for sale. The photos of the products are not contractual. The products are offered for sale for a specific period. Danielle Aspis reserves the right to modify the duration of the sale of the products offered without being held responsible.
If a product is no longer available on the Site, this means that all the planned editions have been sold. As the editions are in limited numbers, it is advisable to contact Danielle Aspis by e-mail (danielleaspis@yahoo.fr), to ensure the availability or unavailability of the offer. Danielle Aspis will then reply by return e-mail as soon as possible.
Article 3 – Ordering procedures, availability and prices of products
3.1 Ordering
Orders are placed exclusively on the Site. Any order accepted by Danielle Aspis will result in the sending to the Customer, to the email address provided by the latter when placing the order, of a purchase confirmation email summarising the products ordered and the delivery address. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the confirmation email sent by Danielle Aspis is not blocked by an email filtering device. Danielle Aspis cannot be held responsible for the blocking or deletion of the purchase confirmation email, whatever the device in question.
Only the purchase confirmation email guarantees the Customer the availability of the product ordered, subject to Article 3.2 above. Danielle Aspis reserves the right to cancel an order in the event that the Customer commits fraud with the means of payment or any other criminal offence, including after confirmation of the said order.
3.2 Product availability
As each order is subject to a specific production or delivery call by Danielle Aspis’ partner, Danielle Aspis may be confronted with the unavailability of a product, even after the order has been accepted. In this eventuality, Danielle Aspis will inform the Customer as soon as possible by email or telephone and will offer the Customer either to cancel the order or to select a similar product (same price) indicating the delivery time. If the Customer cancels his/her order and in accordance with Articles L216-6 and L216-7 of the French Consumer Code, Danielle Aspis will refund the amount paid by the Customer for the order within a maximum of fourteen (14) working days (excluding weekends and public holidays) from the Customer’s decision.
3.3 Prices
The prices displayed in euros on the Site are the prices including all taxes and take into account the VAT rate in force on the day of the order. These prices do not include delivery costs and are firm at the time the Customer confirms the order. Despite all the care taken by Danielle Aspis, it is possible that the prices displayed on the Site contain errors. In this case, Danielle Aspis cannot be held responsible for such errors and reserves the right to cancel any order containing a price error. In the event that the Customer’s currency of payment differs from the currency in which the prices are displayed on the Site, the Customer shall be solely responsible for any exchange charges and other bank charges that may be applied by his or her banking establishment
3.4 Delivery costs
The Customer contributes to the delivery costs of the products ordered. The final amount of these delivery costs is clearly and distinctly displayed on the Site before the order is validated by the Customer and paid for. The amount of the delivery costs may differ according to the volume of products ordered and the place of delivery (e.g.: International).
3.5 Price variations
The price applicable to a product is the price appearing on the Site at the time of the order.
Danielle Aspis reserves the right to modify without notice the prices of the products appearing on the Site in the event of a change in the VAT rate, in the event of fluctuations in production or logistics costs or for any other reason.
3.6 Payment of the price and invoice
The products and delivery costs ordered are payable directly and in full on the Site, as soon as the order is placed. The Customer expressly acknowledges that the communication of his/her bank card number at the time of the order is tantamount to authorising the debiting of his/her account for the price of the products and delivery costs.
An invoice will then be drawn up by Danielle Aspis, accessible by the Customer from his account on the Site and sent by email.
Article 4 – Delivery
4.1 Delivery time
Shipping and delivery times may vary between three and six weeks, depending on the delivery location. An email confirming the delivery time will be sent to the customer as soon as the order is processed.
4.2 Place of delivery
The order will be delivered to the address in metropolitan France or abroad as indicated by the Customer when registering on the Site and confirmed when placing the order (for delivery to a different address, the delivery address fields must be completed).
In the event that the Customer wishes to change the delivery address after having placed his/her order, he/she must send an email as soon as possible to Danielle Aspis’ customer service department, danielleaspis@yahoo.fr, stating the order number, the product concerned and specifying the new delivery address before the order is sent. Danielle Aspis reserves the right to refuse the request depending on the progress of the Customer’s order. An email confirming or refusing the request will be sent to the Customer. Any additional costs and expenses generated by the change in the delivery address will be borne exclusively by the Customer. Consequently, Danielle Aspis will ask the Customer to pay these costs in advance, before proceeding with the dispatch of the order.
At the time of ordering, the Customer must provide Danielle Aspis with all useful information (landline and/or mobile telephone number) and a description of the delivery address (residence, building, flat number, size of stairs, doors and access routes that do not allow normal access to the delivery address) to enable the delivery to be carried out correctly. In particular, the Customer shall be required to measure the access passages to his home in order to confirm to the carrier his accessibility to the product ordered.
Depending on the delivery method, the carrier may contact the Customer directly either by telephone or by e-mail to make an appointment for the delivery of the product to the address indicated by the Customer. The Customer undertakes to be present on the delivery date agreed with the carrier. In the event of an order consisting of several parcels, Danielle Aspis reserves the right to select the most suitable carrier for this specific type of shipment in order to guarantee the quality of the delivery service, which may have a slight impact on the delivery times.
Neither Danielle Aspis nor the carrier may be held responsible for the impossibility of delivering the product(s) ordered if the delivery address provided by the Customer is imprecise, incomplete or erroneous, or if the Customer is absent at the time of delivery. All costs (return of products, storage, rental of lifts, etc.) resulting from the absence of the Customer at the time of delivery, an impossibility of delivery or an inaccuracy on the part of the Customer shall be borne exclusively by the Customer and must be paid before any new delivery of the order.
At the time of delivery or receipt of the parcel at a relay point, it is the Customer’s responsibility to unpack the product(s) in the presence of the carrier (delivery), to check the conformity of the products and to make any reservations and claims that appear justified and to refuse the non-conforming product(s), without prejudice to the right of retraction and the legal guarantees from which the Customer benefits
4.3 Delay in delivery
In the event of a delay in delivery, the Customer is invited to contact Danielle Aspis’ Customer Service in order to be informed of the modified delivery date. The Customer may choose to cancel the order if the explanations and proposals formulated by Danielle Aspis’ Customer Service are not satisfactory, unless the delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure within the meaning of the Civil Code and the case law of the Court of Cassation.
Article 5 – Right of withdrawal and cancellation of order
From the time of the order and up to fourteen (14) calendar days from the delivery of the products, the Customer may exercise his/her right of withdrawal from Danielle Aspis, without having to justify his/her reasons or pay any penalties. In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal, the Customer must first inform Danielle Aspis by email to the following address: danielleaspis@yahoo.fr. The email thus sent shall constitute the effective date of exercise of the Customer’s right of withdrawal. The cost of returning the goods shall be borne by the Customer. Danielle Aspis will act as an advisor in the choice of carrier. The Customer expressly waives the right to return any product without first consulting Danielle Aspis. In the event of exercising this right of withdrawal within the period referred to above, only the price of the returned product and the delivery costs indicated in the order will be refunded. The costs and risks of return will remain the exclusive responsibility of the Customer. Any return of a product under the terms of this article must be made in its original and complete condition (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) so as to allow its resale. Any product returned must be sent to the address indicated by Danielle Aspis. Any product returned incomplete or used will not be taken back under the right of withdrawal. Any refund under this article will be made within fourteen (14) working days following the date on which the returned product is received by Danielle Aspis. The cancellation of an order within the framework of the right of withdrawal is only free of charge if the product has not yet been dispatched. For any cancellation after shipment, the delivery costs will not be refunded.
Article 6 – Guarantees
Danielle Aspis undertakes to supply products that comply with the standards that apply to them and scrupulously meets its obligations in terms of product safety.
All products on sale on the Site are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the legal guarantee against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), allowing the Customer to return defective or non-compliant Products at no cost.
However, all products that have been modified, repaired or damaged after delivery to the Customer, or as a result of incorrect use or handling, are excluded from these guarantees. Furthermore, all defects or non-conformities related to normal wear and tear of the product or possibly caused by a third party are excluded from these guarantees.
The legal guarantee of conformity and the legal guarantee against hidden defects are not mutually exclusive and do not deprive the Customer of his right of withdrawal as defined in Article 5 of the GTC.
6.1 Implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity
Any Customer who finds that the product is not in conformity with the terms of Article L. 217-5 of the French Consumer Code may exercise the legal guarantee of conformity within two (2) years of delivery of the product.
The request must be sent to Danielle Aspis by email to danielleaspis@yahoo.fr, accompanied by photographs and precise explanations of the non-conformity, it being specified that the Customer is exempt from proving the existence of the product’s lack of conformity during the six (6) months following its delivery.
When the legal guarantee of conformity is implemented, in accordance with articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code, Danielle undertakes to take charge of the return of the product and undertakes to
– either to repair or replace the product with an identical product depending on available stocks, at the Customer’s choice, unless this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate for Danielle Aspis with regard to the other method, taking into account the value of the product or the extent of the non-conformity;
– or to reimburse the price of the product if its repair or replacement proves impossible or presents a major inconvenience for the Customer, or if the replacement or repair cannot be carried out within one (1) month of the Customer’s request. In this case, the refund will be made within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the product by Danielle Aspis.
6.2 Implementation of the legal guarantee against hidden defects
If the Customer finds a hidden defect within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code, he/she may exercise the legal guarantee against hidden defects within a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.
The request must be sent to Danielle Aspis by email danielleaspis@yahoo.fr, accompanied by photographs and precise explanations of the non-conformity.
When the guarantee against hidden defects is implemented, Danielle Aspis undertakes, according to the Customer’s choice and after evaluation of the reality of the defect :
– either to refund the full price of the returned product,
– or to refund part of the price of the product if the Customer decides to keep it.
6.3 Information to the Customer on spare parts
In accordance with Article L.111-3 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer is informed that spare parts for the products are available within a minimum of three (3) months, and within the limit of the stocks available from the manufacturer.
