The date of validation of the Order corresponds to the date of receipt of the cash payment of the total price including VAT duly noted.
Article 5 - Prices and payment terms
Unless otherwise stated, the prices listed in the catalog are in Euros and include all taxes, taking into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order and excluding any possible contribution to processing and shipping costs.
Kholine Cosmetics reserves the right to pass on any change in the VAT rate to the price of the Products or Services. The Seller also reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. Nevertheless, the price listed in the catalog on the day of the order will be the only one applicable to the Customer.
The Customer may place an order on the present Site and may pay by credit card, Bancontact, Apple Pay or Paypal*. Payments by credit card are made through secure transactions provided by an online payment platform provider.
This Site does not have access to any data relating to the Customer's means of payment. Payment is made directly to the bank or payment service provider receiving the Customer's payment. In the event of payment by bank transfer, the delivery periods defined in the article "Deliveries" of the present GTC shall only begin to run from the date of effective receipt of payment by the Seller, the latter being able to provide proof by any means. The availability of the Products is indicated on the Site, in the description of each Product.
Khôline Cosmetics will file the order forms and invoices on a reliable and durable medium constituting a true copy. The computerized records will be considered by the parties as proof of communications, orders, payments and transactions between the parties.
Article 6 - Deliveries
The delivery costs will be indicated to the Customer before any payment. The Site has no geographical limitation of delivery, orders can be shipped anywhere in the world. The delivery times indicated at the time of the order are for information purposes only and are dependent on possible delays by the postal services or other special cases preventing delivery (demonstrations, bad weather, etc.).
In the event of delivery of a Product outside the territory of the European Union and in the French overseas departments and territories, the Customer declares himself to be the importer of the Product and accepts that, in such a case, the Seller may be unable to provide him with accurate information on the total amount of the costs relating to customs duties and formalities or import taxes applicable in the country where delivery of the Product is requested.
Unless otherwise stated on the Site during the ordering process or in the description of the Products ordered, the Seller undertakes in all cases to deliver the Products within a maximum of thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract with a Consumer Customer.
In the case of hand delivery, the Customer may refuse a package at the time of delivery if he/she notices any anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, missing Product compared to the delivery slip, damaged package, broken Products, etc.); any anomaly must then be indicated by the Customer on the delivery slip, in the form of handwritten reservations, accompanied by the Customer's signature. To exercise his right of refusal, the Customer must open the damaged or defective package(s) in the presence of the carrier and have him take back the damaged goods. In the case of a letterbox delivery, the customer undertakes to check the package immediately and to contact khôline Cosmetics if he notices any anomaly. If the Customer fails to comply with these instructions, he will not be able to exercise his right of refusal, and the Seller will not be obliged to grant the Customer's request to exercise his right of refusal.
If Customer's package is returned to Seller by the Postal Service or other postal service, Seller shall contact Customer upon receipt of the returned package to ask Customer what action to take on the order. If the Customer has mistakenly refused the parcel, he may request that it be returned by first paying the postal charges for the new shipment. The postal charges must be paid even for orders for which the shipping costs were offered at the time of the order.
In case of delivery error or exchange (if the right of withdrawal is applicable, i.e. if the Customer is a Consumer and the contract concluded to acquire the Product or Service allows withdrawal), any product to be exchanged or refunded must be returned to the Seller in its entirety and in perfect condition. Any defect resulting from a clumsiness or a false maneuver of the Customer could not be imputed to the Salesman.
Any delay of delivery compared to the date or to the deadline indicated to the Consumer Customer at the time of its order or, in the absence of indication of date or deadline at the time of the order, higher than thirty (30) days as from the conclusion of the contract can involve the resolution of the sale at the initiative of the Consumer Customer, on written request of its share by registered letter with acknowledgement of delivery, if after having enjoined the Salesman to carry out the delivery it did not carry out. The Consumer Customer will then be refunded, at the latest in the fourteen (14) days following the date on which the contract was denounced, of the totality of the paid sums. The present clause does not apply if the delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure.
Particular case of a parcel whose tracking number indicates that it is "delivered" but not received in the mailbox: if the Customer notices and informs the Seller that the parcel is not in his mailbox despite the fact that its tracking number indicates that it is "delivered", the customer service may ask him for additional information as well as an official document from the Post Office answering his complaint regarding the corresponding tracking number. The Seller will then make every effort to ensure the satisfaction of the Customer by proposing in particular, the immediate return of the products at its own expense.
Article 7 - Right of withdrawal and withdrawal form
The Consumer Customer has fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt of the product of his order to withdraw. He will have to return any product that does not suit him and ask for an exchange or a refund without any penalty, except for the return shipping costs, within fourteen (14) days from the receipt by Kholine Cosmetics of the refund request.
The Product must be returned in perfect condition, in blister pack and unused. The Customer can find below a standard form of retraction for an order placed on the Site, to be sent to Kholine Cosmetics. It is understood that the Customer will bear the cost of returning the Product in case of withdrawal.
It is recommended to the Customer to return the Product by a solution allowing a follow-up of the package. Otherwise, if the returned package does not reach the Seller, it will not be possible to launch an investigation with the postal services in order to ask them to locate it.
Refunds will be made using the same method of payment chosen by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees that the Seller may use another method of payment, and insofar as the refund does not incur any costs for the Customer.
Seller also reserves the right to defer the refund until receipt of the Product or until Customer has demonstrated that it has shipped the Product, if such demonstration has not previously occurred.
In case of depreciation of the Products resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the Product(s), the Customer's liability may be incurred.

Article 8 - Product warranty
Legal provisions to be reproduced
The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted.
The consumer can decide to implement the guarantee against the hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of article 1641 of the Civil Code, unless the salesman did not stipulate that it will be obliged with no guarantee; in the assumption of an implementation of this guarantee, the purchaser has the choice between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the selling price in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil code. He has a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.
The postponement, suspension or interruption of the statute of limitations may not have the effect of extending the extinctive period of limitation beyond twenty years from the date of the birth of the right in accordance with Article 2232 of the Civil Code.
All the articles acquired on the present site profit from the following legal guarantees, envisaged by the Civil code;
Legal guarantee of conformity
The Seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract concluded with the Consumer Customer and to answer for the defects of conformity existing during the delivery of the Product. The guarantee of conformity can be exercised if a defect should exist on the day of taking possession of the Product.
However, it will be up to the Customer to prove that the defect existed at the time of taking possession of the Product.
"In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing or replacing 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, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.
Legal warranty against hidden defects
In case of non-conformity of a delivered Product, it can be returned to the Seller who will exchange it. In case of impossibility of exchange of the Product (obsolete Product, out of stock, etc.) the Customer will be refunded by check or transfer of the amount of his order. The costs of the exchange or refund procedure (in particular the cost of returning the Product) shall be borne by the Seller.
Article 9 - Responsibility
The Seller Khôline Cosmetics shall not be held responsible for the non-execution of the contract concluded due to the occurrence of an event of force majeure. Concerning the purchased Products, the Seller will not be held responsible for any indirect damage due to the present, operating loss, loss of profit, damage or expenses, which could occur.
The choice and the purchase of a Product or a Service are under the sole responsibility of the Customer. The total or partial impossibility of using the Products, in particular due to incompatibility of the equipment, cannot give rise to any compensation, reimbursement or questioning of the responsibility of the Seller, except in the case of a proven hidden defect, non-conformity, defect or exercise of the right of withdrawal if applicable, i.e. if the Customer is not a Consumer Customer and the contract entered into to acquire the Product or Service allows withdrawal, according to article L 121-21 of the Consumer Code.
The Customer expressly admits using the Site at his own risk and under his exclusive responsibility. In any case, Khôline Cosmetics will not be held responsible for :
any direct or indirect damage, including loss of profits, loss of earnings, loss of customers, loss of data that may result from the use of the Site, or on the contrary the impossibility of its use;

Article 10 - Force majeure
In accordance with Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, events beyond the control of the parties, which they could not reasonably be expected to foresee, and which they could not reasonably avoid or overcome, shall be considered as force majeure or fortuitous events, insofar as their occurrence makes it totally impossible to perform the obligations.
The occurrence of a force majeure event shall automatically suspend performance of the Order.
After a period of ninety (90) calendar days, if the parties determine that the force majeure event persists, the Order may be cancelled by either party and the sales contract terminated. To this effect, the more diligent party shall send to the other party a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt denouncing said sales contract.
