When registering the Customer's personal data during an Order or in the "my account" section, the Customer must make sure that the compulsory data he/she provides is accurate.

ARTICLE 4 - PRODUCTS AND PRICES
4.1. Only the Products listed on the Web Site on the day and at the time of the Order by the Customer are offered for sale, subject to availability.
The Product offered for sale is the item precisely exposed in the description of the Product, excluding any decoration visible on the sales page and used as a suggestion of presentation.

Customs duties or other local taxes or import duties or state taxes may be payable. The information as for these rights and their payment are not the responsibility of PUISSANTE, the Customer taking the whole responsibility to inform himself and to take any measure to be in conformity with his local law.

The COMPANY shall not be held responsible for fulfilling any Sales Order placed by the Customer, nor for answering any other request made by the Customer, if the latter refuses to communicate such information, as this information is indispensable for the management of the relationship between the COMPANY and the Customer, and notably for the registration and the execution of the Sales Order.

Once the Customer Account is created, the Customer has a secure connection when visiting the Website. The Customer Account remains active for a period of 7 years after the last Order. It can then be deactivated and the Customer will have to create a new Customer Account before being able to proceed with new Orders, or to proceed by Instant Order.
5.4. Validation of the Order :
The Customer will have the possibility, without obligation, to "Subscribe to the newsletter" or to "Receive special offers from our partners" by checking the corresponding box at the bottom of the form.
The Customer may then choose the method of payment. Once these terms and conditions have been specified, and only if the Customer accepts the GTC, the Order can be placed. The Customer then clicks on "Order" at the bottom right of the page.
Before finally confirming the Order, the Customer shall have the opportunity to check the details of the Order and its total price, and to correct any errors, before confirming the Order to express his/her acceptance. Any Order confirmed by the Customer shall be deemed to constitute a contract of sale and acceptance of all the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Customer's commitment is materialized by a click validating the Order and in particular the quantity and description of the selected Products. The validation of the Order can only be carried out when the Customer has accepted the GTC. The payment formalizes in a firm and definitive way the Sales Contract binding the Customer to PUISSANTE.
PUISSANTE will send, as soon as possible and at the latest within 48 hours, a confirmation e-mail to the Customer indicating the date and the number of the Order as well as the details of the Products ordered on the Web Site.

In case of breach by the Customer of any of the provisions of these GTC, PUISSANTE reserves the right to terminate without notice the Customer's account.
ARTICLE 6 - PAYMENT
6.1. The Customer expressly acknowledges that any order placed on the Site is an order with an obligation to pay, which requires the payment of a price against the supply of the Product ordered.
The payment of the Customer's purchases is made through the secure payment service provided by bank card of the Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard network, of which the Customer certifies that he/she is the holder, the name(s) and surname(s) appearing thereon having to be his/her own.

These payment methods are secured by their publishers and managers, who are recognized services.
6.2. The Customer's order is recorded and validated upon acceptance of payment by the bank.
The Customer's account will be debited for the corresponding amount only when (i) the data of the credit card used has been verified and (ii) the debit has been accepted by the bank that issued the credit card. The impossibility of debiting the amounts due will result in the immediate nullity of the sale.
By communicating his banking information, the Customer authorizes PUISSANTE to immediately debit his credit card for the amount indicated.
PUISSANTE implements a S.S.L. (Secure Socket Layer) encryption system in order to protect as efficiently as possible all the Data linked to the means of payment. At no time, the customer's banking Data are transmitted on the computer system of PUISSANTE. Nevertheless, the latter may check the reliability of the information entered when placing an Order.
If PUISSANTE does everything possible to secure the transaction as efficiently as possible, it cannot guarantee total security, especially in view of the progress of technology.
In order to fight against fraud and to protect its Customers, PUISSANTE has set up a payment with 3D SECURE under certain conditions.
6.3. If a Product is out of stock, the amount corresponding to the Product concerned will be automatically deducted from the Customer's bank account.
PUISSANTE may cancel, by right and without notice, the Order in case of non-payment, fraudulent payment, fraud or attempted fraud.

APPENDIX: Applicable legislative provisions :
Article L217-4 of the Consumer Code:
"The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. He is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility."
Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code
"The property conforms to the contract:
1° Whether it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, if applicable :
- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the latter has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it has the qualities that a purchaser may legitimately expect, having regard to the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;
2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter.
Article L217-7 of the Consumer Code
Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months.
The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.
Article L217-9 of the Consumer Code
In case of 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 clearly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. The seller is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.
Article L217-12 of the Consumer Code
"The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years as from the delivery of the good."
Article L217-16 of the Consumer Code

This period runs from the date of the buyer's request for service or from the time the item is made available for repair, if this is after the request for service."
Article L221-5 of the Consumer Code

1° Of the conclusion of the contract, for contracts for the provision of services and those mentioned in Article L. 221-4 ;
2. On receipt of the goods by the consumer or a third party, other than the carrier, designated by him, for contracts for the sale of goods. For contracts concluded off-premises, the consumer may exercise his right of withdrawal from the conclusion of the contract.
In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order for a good composed of multiple lots or parts whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, the period runs from the receipt of the last good or lot or part.
For contracts providing for regular delivery of goods over a defined period of time, the period shall run from receipt of the first good."
Article L221-24 of the Consumer Code
"Where the right of withdrawal is exercised, the trader shall reimburse the consumer for all sums paid, including the cost of delivery, without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which he is informed of the consumer's decision to withdraw.
For contracts for the sale of goods, unless the trader offers to collect the goods himself, the trader may postpone the refund until he has collected the goods or until the consumer has provided proof of dispatch of the goods, whichever is the earlier.
The trader shall make the refund using the same means of payment as the one used by the consumer for the original transaction, unless the consumer expressly agrees to use another means of payment and insofar as the refund does not incur any costs for the consumer.

"The receipt of the goods shall extinguish any action against the carrier for damage or partial loss if the consignee has not notified the carrier, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter, of his reasoned protest within three days, not including public holidays, following the day of such receipt.
If, within the above-mentioned time limit, a request for an expert opinion is made pursuant to Article L. 133-4, such request shall be deemed to constitute a protest without it being necessary to proceed as provided in the first paragraph.
Any stipulation to the contrary is null and void. This last provision is not applicable to international transport.
Article 441-6 of the Commercial Code
"Any failure to comply with the provisions of articles L. 441-3 to L. 441-5 is punishable by an administrative fine, the amount of which may not exceed €75,000 for a natural person and €375,000 for a legal person."
The maximum fine incurred is increased to €150,000 for a natural person and €750,000 for a legal person in the event of a repeat violation within two years of the date on which the first penalty decision became final."
Article 441-10 of the Commercial Code
"I.-Unless otherwise provided for in the conditions of sale or agreed between the parties, the time limit for payment of the sums due may not exceed thirty days after the date of receipt of the goods or performance of the service requested.
The period agreed between the parties for payment of the amounts due may not exceed sixty days after the date of issue of the invoice.
By way of derogation, a maximum period of forty-five days from the end of the month following the date of issue of the invoice may be agreed between the parties, provided that this period is expressly stipulated by contract and does not constitute an obvious abuse of the creditor.
In the case of a periodic invoice within the meaning of Article 289(3)(I) of the General Tax Code, the period agreed between the parties may not exceed forty-five days after the date of issue of the invoice.
II.-The terms of payment mentioned in I of Article L. 441-1 shall specify the conditions of application and the interest rate of the late payment penalties payable on the day following the date of payment appearing on the invoice, as well as the amount of the fixed indemnity for collection costs due to the creditor in the event that the sums due are paid after this date. Unless otherwise provided, which may not however set a rate lower than three times the legal interest rate, this rate is equal to the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points. In this case, the rate applicable during the first half of the year concerned is the rate in force on January 1 of the year in question. For the second half of the year in question, the rate in force on July 1 of the year in question shall apply. Late payment penalties are payable without the need for a reminder. Any professional in a situation of late payment is automatically liable to the creditor for a fixed indemnity for collection costs, the amount of which is fixed by decree. When the collection costs incurred are higher than the amount of this fixed indemnity, the creditor may request additional compensation, upon justification. However, the creditor cannot claim the benefit of these indemnities when the opening of a safeguard, recovery or judicial liquidation procedure prohibits the payment of the debt due to him at its due date.
III.Subject to specific provisions more favourable to the creditor, where an acceptance or verification procedure is provided for in order to certify the conformity of the goods or services to the contract, the duration of this procedure shall be fixed in accordance with good commercial practice and, in any event, shall not exceed thirty days from the date of receipt of the goods or performance of the services, unless otherwise expressly stipulated by contract and provided that this does not constitute an unfair term or practice within the meaning of the penultimate paragraph of Article L. 441-16 or Article L. 442-1. 441-16 or Article L. 442-1. The duration of the acceptance or verification procedure may not have the effect of either increasing the duration or shifting the starting point of the maximum payment period provided for in the second, third and fourth paragraphs of I, unless expressly stipulated otherwise by contract and provided that this does not constitute an unfair term or practice within the meaning of the penultimate paragraph of Article L. 441-16 or of Article L. 442-1."
