BESTINI reserves the right to adapt or modify these GTCS at any time. The version of the GTCS applicable to any sale is that appearing online on the website www.bestiniparis.com at the time of the Order. Consequently, placing an Order requires the Customer's full and unreserved prior acceptance of the GTCS by clicking on the "I have read and accept the general terms and conditions of sale" button.

IV. PRODUCTS

V. ORDERS
Placing an Order on the Site is subject to compliance with the procedure implemented by BESTINI on the Site, which includes successive steps leading to the validation of the Order.
The Customer can select as many Products as they wish, which will be added to the cart (the "Cart"). The Cart summarizes the Products chosen by the Customer, as well as the prices and associated costs. The Customer can freely modify the Cart before validating their Order. The validation of the Order constitutes confirmation of the Customer's acceptance of the GTCS, the Products purchased, their price, and associated costs.
A confirmation email summarizing the Order (Product(s), price, availability of the Product(s), quantity, etc.) will be sent to the Customer by BESTINI. For this purpose, the Customer formally accepts the use of email for BESTINI's confirmation of the content of their Order. Invoices are available in the "my account" section of the Site.
VI. REFUSAL TO PROCESS AN ORDER
BESTINI reserves the right to withdraw any Product displayed on the Site at any time and to replace or modify any content or information appearing thereon. Despite BESTINI's best efforts to meet its customers' expectations, it may be necessary to refuse to process an Order after having sent the Customer the confirmation email summarizing the Order.
BESTINI shall not be held liable to the Customer or a third party for any detrimental consequences resulting from the withdrawal of a Product from the Site, or the replacement or modification of any content or information appearing on this Site, or the refusal to process an Order after sending the confirmation email summarizing the Order.

The prices of the products are indicated on the Site in Euros for Europe, in British Pounds for Great Britain and in US Dollars for the United States, including VAT, but excluding customs duties and other taxes. Customs duties and other taxes must be paid by the Customer directly to the carrier.
All prices displayed are calculated and include the value added tax (VAT) applicable in France or in the country of delivery located in the European Union.
BESTINI reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but the Products will be invoiced on the basis of the rates in force at the time of registration and payment of the Order, subject to availability.
Products are payable in cash at the time of actual Order.
Payment for purchases is made via our secure payment platform STRIPE.
Stripe is an American company of Irish origin. For more information, the customer is invited to visit the following webpage: www.stripe.com/
The Client expressly acknowledges that the communication of their credit card number to BESTINI constitutes authorization to debit their Account for the price of the Products ordered. If applicable, a notification of Order cancellation for non-payment will be sent to the Client by BESTINI to the email address provided by the Client when registering on the Site.
The data recorded and stored by BESTINI constitutes proof of the Order and all past sales. STRIPE constitutes proof of any financial transaction between the Customer and BESTINI.
VIII. DELIVERY
Deliveries are handled by the services of Chronopost, DPD, Paack, B2C Europe, Fedex, UPS, DHL, GLS and others, from Monday to Friday, depending on the option chosen by the Customer when validating their Order.
Delivery means the transfer of physical possession of the Products to the Customer (the "Delivery").
The Delivery costs applicable to the Order are those mentioned on the Site at the time of the Order in the "Delivery and Returns" section.
When BESTINI is responsible for the delivery of the Product, the risk of loss or damage to the Product is transferred to the Customer at the time of Delivery.
By way of exception, the risk is transferred to the Customer upon delivery of the Product to the carrier when the latter is responsible for transportation by the Customer and not by BESTINI.
Delivery is made to the delivery address indicated by the Customer, it being specified that this must be the address of the Customer's residence, a natural person of their choice, or a legal entity (delivery to their company). Delivery cannot be made to hotels or post office boxes.
In case of impossibility to deliver, due to an incorrect delivery address or the Customer's failure to collect their Order from the selected pick-up point or Chronopost, no re-shipment can be made and the Customer will be reimbursed within five (5) days from the receipt of the Order by BESTINI.
BESTINI delivers Orders within a maximum period of twelve (12) working days for Delivery in Metropolitan France and twenty (20) working days for international Delivery, this period being calculated from the first working day after the validation of the Order (please note that BESTINI does not deliver Products to the following countries: Morocco, Brazil, Taiwan, South Korea, United Arab Emirates). The day after a collection goes online and from November 23 to December 31, the Delivery period may be extended by ten (10) days, given the significant and exceptional volume of Orders.
In order for these deadlines to be met, the Customer must ensure that they have provided accurate and complete information concerning the Delivery address (such as, in particular: street number, building number, stair number, access codes, intercom names and/or numbers, etc.).
BESTINI cannot be held responsible for delivery delays that are not its fault or are justified by a case of force majeure (as defined below).
In the event of exceeding the Delivery time, the Customer may request the cancellation of the sale and obtain reimbursement of the sums paid at the time of the Order within a maximum of fourteen (14) days from their request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BESTINI cannot be held responsible for any detrimental consequences resulting from a delivery delay; only reimbursement of the Product by BESTINI is possible, to the exclusion of any other form of compensation.
Deliveries can also be made to Relay Points by the Chrono Relais service provider, subject to the acceptance of the parcel by the selected Relay Point.

The refund of the Order by BESTINI will be made at the latest within fourteen (14) days from the date on which it is informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw.
However, the refund will be made provided that BESTINI has been able to recover the Products that are the subject of the return and the refund request.
BESTINI makes the refund using the same payment method as that used for the payment of the Order, unless the Customer expressly agrees to use another. If this payment method has expired, the Customer must contact customer service to change the refund method, which will not incur any costs for the consumer. BESTINI cannot be held responsible for refunds to an expired payment method.
The refund of an order paid with an e-gift card, gift card or credit note will automatically be refunded as a credit note.
