Secure payment

It is specified that to make his payment by credit card, the Customer was automatically transferred to an electronic payment server. The server is secured by S.S.L (Secure Socket Layer) encryption in order to protect all data related to payment means as efficiently as possible, and to ensure that at no time does the Customer's banking data transit on Plumetine's computer system. The Customercan see that the transmission is encrypted by software as soon as the padlock symbol appears in his browser. The transaction is carried out via its payment partners, who alone have the banking information provided on the site at the time of payment.

The payment gateway used by Plumetine uses a 3D Secure payment flow. It is optimized to minimize the use of 3D Secure and only uses 3D Secure when requested by the issuing bank to authorize a transaction.

If the above-mentioned conditions are met, Plumetine will exchange the Product(s) presenting such defects of conformity or proven faults and whose origin is indeed attributable to Plumetine or will reimburse the Customer the amount of such Product(s), as well as the return shipping costs paid by the Customer, if applicable.

Shipping costs will be reimbursed on the basis of the invoiced rate and return shipping costs will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts.

 Refunds, replacements or repairs of Products found to be non-conforming or defective will be made as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after Plumetine has established the non-conformity or the hidden defect.

Plumetine cannot be held responsible in the following cases:

• non-compliance with the legislation of the country in which the products are delivered, which it is up to the Customer to check,
• in case of misuse, use for professional purposes, negligence or lack of maintenance by the Customer, as well as in case of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure.
• The photographs and graphics presented on the Site are not contractual and cannot engage the responsibility of Plumetine.

The Plumetine's warranty is, in any case, limited to the replacement or reimbursement of Products that do not conform or are affected by a defect.

 ARTICLE 12. RESPONSIBILITY

The proposed Products are in accordance with the French legislation in force and the standards applicable in France. Plumetine cannot be held responsible in case of non-compliance with the legislation of the country where the Product is delivered. It is the Customer's responsibility to check with the local authorities the possibilities of importing or using the Products he/she intends to order.

Plumetine cannot be held responsible for inconveniences and damages related to the use of the Internet network, in particular a break in the service, the presence of computer viruses or external intrusions and more generally any case qualified as force majeure or third party act by the courts. Hypertext links may lead to other sites than the Site. Plumetine is not responsible for the content of these sites if they do not comply with the legal and regulatory provisions in force.

Plumetine shall not be held liable for any indirect damages incurred as a result of the purchase of the Products. Similarly, Plumetine cannot be held responsible for the obligations of the present general sales conditions in case of a force majeure event as defined in article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

The Customer is expressly informed that Plumetine is not the producer of the Products presented on the Site in the sense of the French law n°98-389 of May 19, 1998 concerning liability for defective products. Consequently, in the event of damage caused to a person or property by a defect in the Product, only the responsibility of the producer of the Product may be sought by the Customer. Moreover, the company reminds that the Products and information proposed by Plumetine do not replace in any way the vigilance of adults at all times.

ARTICLE 13. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither Party shall have failed to perform its contractual obligations to the extent that their performance is delayed, impeded or prevented by an act of God or force majeure. All facts or circumstances that are irresistible, external to the Parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable, independent of the will of the Parties and that cannot be prevented by the latter, despite all reasonably possible efforts, shall be considered as fortuitous events or force majeure.

The Party affected by such circumstances shall notify the other within ten working days of the date on which it becomes aware of them. The two Parties will then meet, within one month, except in the case of impossibility due to force majeure, to examine the impact of the event and agree on the conditions under which the performance of the contract will be continued.
