These General Terms and Conditions of Sale unreservedly govern Product sales by NEZA e-boutique from the internet address https://www.neza-parfums.com and its derivative addresses (hereafter the “Site”). The Site offers for sale, to individuals browsing the Site, fragrances of the NEZA brand (hereinafter referred to as the “Products”). For the application of this agreement, it is agreed that the Consumer and NEZA e-boutique will jointly be referred to as the “Parties” and individually as the “Party.”
By placing an order for a Product on the Site, the Consumer acknowledges that s/he has read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and accepted them unreservedly. No signature will be required from the Consumer for this acknowledgement to be valid.
Any special condition that is stated, e.g., in documents issued by the Consumer (including the order), will not take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, without prior explicit consent from NEZA e-boutique.
The Consumer must also unreservedly agree to these conditions of use of the Site if s/he wishes to view it.


ARTICLE 1: PURPOSE

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale define the procedures by which NEZA e-boutique will sell Products to the Consumer, and the rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of the on-line sale of the Products offered on the Site.
They define all the stages required for placing the order and they monitor this order between the Parties.


ARTICLE 2: PRODUCTS

2.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS
NEZA e-boutique presents on the Site the Products for sale and their detailed descriptions, which comply with Article L.111-1 of the French Consumer Code that specifies that the potential consumer must be able to find out the essential characteristics of the products s/he wishes to buy prior to actually placing the order.
NEZA e-boutique will make every effort to ensure that the visual representation of Products on the website is faithful to the original in terms of color and design. However, since NEZA e-boutique has no control over the technical limitations of individual consumer computer equipment, NEZA e-boutique may not be held liable for inaccurate representation of the Products on the Website.

2.2. AVAILABILITY
2.2.1. The Products offered for sale by NEZA e-boutique are those that are shown on the Site, on the day on which the Consumer views it and within the limit of the stocks available.
2.2.2. If a Product is not available, NEZA e-boutique will notify the Consumer as soon as possible by e-mail that a partial order will take place or that his/her order is cancelled.
If the Consumer’s bank account had already been debited at the time that the Consumer is informed as above, NEZA e-boutique undertakes to reimburse the Consumer as soon as possible for the price of the Product(s) that was (were) not available to the bank account used at order time.
2.2.3. NEZA e-boutique reserves the right at any time to amend or no longer market the Products offered on the Site; however, such amendments will have no effect on orders that NEZA e-boutique has already accepted prior to implementing such amendments.

2.3. PRICES
2.3.1. All prices are shown in Euros. The applicable prices are those that are shown on the Site at the time at which the Consumer places his/her order. The prices are subject to French VAT and any change in the legal rate of that VAT will be applied to the price of the Products presented on the Site, on the date stipulated by the application decree governing it.

Since customs policies vary widely from country to country, we invite our clients to contact their local customs office for further information. Solely the Consumer is responsible to pay for such customs costs upon delivery, NEZA refuses to hold liability for any customs-related costs.

If the package is found during such an investigation, it will immediately be re-sent to the place of delivery stated on the delivery slip.
