In the event of a dispute, EXPENDO ORGANISATION will have the opportunity to prove that its electronic tracking system is reliable and that it guarantees the integrity of the transaction.
ARTICLE 11. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
EXPENDO ORGANISATION remains the owner of the delivered Products until they have been fully paid for by the Customer.
The above provisions shall not prevent the transfer to the CUSTOMER, at the time of receipt by them or by a third party designated by them other than the carrier, of the risks of loss or damage to the Products covered by the retention of title, as well as the risk of damage to which they may give rise.
ARTICLE 12. DELIVERY
The terms and conditions for the Delivery of the Products are set out in the ‘Delivery Policy’ referred to in Appendix 2 hereto.
ARTICLE 13. PACKAGING
The Products will be packed in accordance with the transport standards in force, in order to guarantee maximum protection for the Products during Delivery.
Customers undertake to comply with the same standards when returning Products under the conditions set out in Appendix 1 – Withdrawal Policy.
ARTICLE 14. GUARANTEES
In addition to the commercial guarantees that EXPENDO ORGANISATION may offer for certain Products, each Customer benefits from ‘legal’ guarantees for all the Products, which are detailed below, in accordance with Article L.111-1 of the Consumer Code.
Article 14.1. Compliance guarantee
Article L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code: ‘The seller delivers a product conformant to the contract and is responsible for any conformity faults which exist at the time of delivery.
The seller must also take responsibility for conformity faults resulting from the packaging, instructions for assembly or installation when these have been made their responsibility by the contract or have been produced under their responsibility.’
Article L.217-5 of the Consumer Code: ‘The goods are in conformity with the contract:
1° If they are suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, if applicable:
- if they correspond to the description given by the seller and have the features that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if they have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, producer or their representative, in particular in terms of advertising or labelling;
2° Or if they have the features defined by mutual agreement between the parties or are suitable for any special requirement of the buyer which was made known to the seller and to which the latter agreed.
EXPENDO ORGANISATION is likely to be liable for conformity faults resulting from the packaging, instructions for assembly or installation when these have been made their responsibility or have been produced under their responsibility.
The action resulting from a conformity fault lapses two (2) years after the delivery of the Product (Article L.217-12 of the Consumer Code)
In the event of a conformity fault, the Customer may request the replacement or repair of the Product, at their choice. However, if the cost of the Customer’s choice is clearly disproportionate to the other possible option, taking into account the value of the Product or the seriousness of the fault, EXPENDO ORGANISATION may proceed with a refund without following the option chosen by the Customer.
In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, EXPENDO ORGANISATION undertakes to refund the price of the Product within thirty (30) days of receipt of the returned Product and in exchange for the return of the Product by the Customer to the following address: Expendo Organisation - Boutique de la Présidence de la République - 1 Rue Maryse Bastié, 18110 Pigny, France.
Finally, the Customer is exempt from providing proof of the existence of the Product’s conformity fault for the twenty-four (24) months following the delivery of the Product, except for second-hand goods, for which this period is set at six (6) months. (Article L. 217-7 of the Consumer Code).
It is specified that this legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of the commercial warranty that is granted, if any should exist, with respect to the Products.
Article 14.2. Guarantee of hidden defects
EXPENDO ORGANISATION is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the Product sold that make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or that reduce this use to such an extent that the Customer would not have acquired it, or would have at a lower price, had they known of them. (Article 1641 of the Civil Code)
This guarantee allows a Customer who can prove the existence of a hidden defect to choose between the refund of the price of the Product if it is returned or the refund of part of its price if the Product is not returned.
In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, EXPENDO ORGANISATION undertakes to refund the price of the Product within thirty (30) days of receipt of the returned Product and in exchange for the return of the Product by the Customer to the following address: EXPENDO ORGANISATION – Boutique de la Fondation Belem- 1 rue Maryse Bastié –– 18110 PIGNY - France. The action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the buyer within a period of two years following the discovery of the defect. (Paragraph 1 of Article 1648 of the Civil Code).
ARTICLE 15. RESPONSIBILITY
EXPENDO ORGANISATION will under no circumstances be held liable in the event of non-performance or improper performance of contractual obligations attributable to the Customer, in particular when entering their ORDER.
EXPENDO ORGANISATION will not be held liable, or considered to have failed hereunder, for any delay or non-performance when the cause of the delay or non-performance is related to a case of force majeure as defined by the case law of the French courts and tribunals.
It is also specified that EXPENDO ORGANISATION does not control the Websites that are directly or indirectly linked to the Site. Consequently, it does not accept any liability for the information published on them. Links to third party websites are provided for information purposes only and no guarantee is given as to their content.
Article 16. FORCE MAJEURE
EXPENDO ORGANISATION may not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of one of its obligations described in these GTC results from a case of force majeure.
Force majeure in contractual matters occurs when an event beyond the debtor’s control, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time the contract was concluded and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the debtor from performing their obligation.
If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation shall be suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the contract. If the impediment is definitive, the contract is automatically terminated and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.
As such, EXPENDO ORGANISATION will not be held liable in particular in the event of an attack by hackers; unavailability of equipment, supplies, spare parts, personal or other equipment; interruption of electronic communications networks; as well as in the event of the occurrence of any circumstance or event beyond the control of EXPENDO ORGANISATION occurring after the GTC are signed that prevents performance under normal conditions.
It is specified that, in such a situation, the Customer may not claim any compensation and may not bring any action against EXPENDO ORGANISATION.
In the event of one of the above-mentioned events, EXPENDO ORGANISATION will endeavour to inform the CUSTOMER as soon as possible.
ARTICLE 17. PERSONAL DATA
EXPENDO ORGANISATION collects personal data on the Site concerning its Customers, including through the use of cookies. Customers can disable cookies by following the instructions provided by their browser.

Principle of withdrawal

In accordance with Article L.221-18 of the Consumer Code, the withdrawal period expires fourteen (14) days after the day on which the Customer, or a third party other than the carrier and one which is designated by the Customer, physically takes possession of the Product.
In the event that the Customer has ordered several Products via a single Order resulting in several Deliveries (or in the case of an Order for a single Product delivered in several batches), the withdrawal period shall expire fourteen (14) days after the day on which the Customer, or a third party other than the carrier and one which is designated by the Customer, physically takes possession of the last Product delivered.

EXPENDO ORGANISATION will carry out a refund using the same method of payment as the Customer used for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different method, and in any case, this refund shall not entail any costs for the Customer.
Should part of all of the initial transaction have been paid for with a Gift Card, the corresponding refund will be made on the Gift Card.

This deadline is deemed to have been met if the Customer returns the goods before the expiry of the fourteen (14) day deadline.
Return costs
The Customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
In the event that the weight of the Product prevents the Customer from returning it by post, the Customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods by another means.
