The present general conditions of sale define the contractual relationship between GSA and the Purchaser in the sense of the French Consumer Code as well as the conditions applicable to any purchase made via the GSA commercial site.

GSA informs the Purchaser that the sum of his/her order may not exceed 1000 Euros, all tax and carriage charges included. The acquisition of a Product by the Purchaser via the present website involves unconditional acceptance by the Purchaser of the present general conditions of sale, which prevail over any other condition. GSA reserves the right to change the present conditions of sale at any time. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the Purchaser to make him/herself aware of the general conditions of sale at each purchase, the conditions applicable being those in force on the date the Purchaser places the order.

2. Products and characteristics of products and services offered
As the business of GSA is based on gifts for the birth of a baby (day and night clothes for babies and small children, childcare articles, toys and packaging), its commercial site enables it to offer online sale of products within the context of its business. The prices of products offered for sale are those that appear at the time the order is confirmed on the www.sucredorge.com website by the internet surfer. Product offers are valid as long as stocks are available. A description of each product available online enables the Purchaser to discover its features. The photographs are as accurate as possible but cannot ensure complete similarity with the product offered.

3. Orders
The order cannot be registered on the GSA website unless the Purchaser is clearly identified.
To do this, it is compulsory for the Purchaser who wishes to buy a Product online to:
• If he/she is a new client, carefully fill in the identification page on which he/she will give all the information requested, including a valid e-mail address and a password of his/her choice which is strictly personal and confidential and will in future be used to identify him/her on the website.
• If he/she already has a client account, identify him/herself by entering his/her e-mail address and password. Entering these two identifiers is proof of the identity of the Purchaser, which he/she accepts.
• Complete the order form online giving all the references of the products chosen.
• Confirm his/her order after checking it.
• Make the payment under the conditions stipulated on the website.
• Confirm his/her order and payment.
By confirming the order, the Purchaser acknowledges having read the present general conditions of sale and having accepted them. All the data supplied and the confirmation recorded will serve as proof of the transaction. Confirmation and online transmission of his/her bank card number by the Purchaser will serve as proof of signature and acceptance of the operations performed. The Purchaser will receive an acknowledgement of his/her order by e-mail to the e-mail address he/she has given.
However, GSA reserves the right not to confirm the order if:
• The order ceiling mentioned in Article 1 is exceeded.
• There has been abnormal or improper return of Products from a previous order by the Purchaser.
• There has been total or partial non-payment for a previous order.
• There is litigation with the Purchaser in progress.
• Payment by bank card is not authorised by the banking organisations.

4. Prices
The prices of Products appearing on the website are prices in Euros, all taxes included taking into account the Value Added Tax (VAT) applicable (on French territory) at the time the order is confirmed. The prices do not include delivery and order processing charges, which are brought to the attention of the Purchaser when his/her order is placed. Delivery and order processing charges are calculated depending upon the weight and destination of the Products and are payable by the Purchaser. GSA reserves the potential to change its prices at any time; it however being understood that the price shown on the website when the order is confirmed will be the only price applicable to the Purchaser. Consequently it is the responsibility of the Purchaser to check the price when each order is confirmed. For orders delivered outside France, possible taxes and customs duties payable are the responsibility of the Purchaser.

5. Delivery and reception of the order
GSA shall use reasonable endeavours to process and despatch orders on average 1 to 5 working days from receipt of order. GSA undertakes to deliver its Products within a maximum of 21 days from date of order. Apart from special cases (e.g. embroidered articles) the order is either processed the same day, or the day after it is received. The products ordered are delivered to the delivery address given by the Purchaser together with a delivery note. The recipient must check the condition of the merchandise on reception. Any anomaly noted [damaged parcel(s), missing product(s) in comparison with the delivery note or damaged product(s)] must be notified as defined in Article 9 below. Any complaint made later than 14 days after reception of the products will be considered inadmissible and GSA cannot be held liable. All Products delivered in France will be despatched using the Poste service. For foreign countries, GSA ships the orders using a carrier selected by GSA depending on the designation country. GSA cannot be held responsible for longer delivery times caused by the transporter or for non-delivery in circumstances beyond its control as defined in Article 10 below. An e-mail will be sent to the Purchaser to inform him/her that his/her order has been despatched. In accordance with Articles L121-20-3 and L114-1 of the French Consumer Code, if the Purchaser has not received the Product at the end of the seven (7) days following the maximum delivery date given by GSA, the Purchaser must advise GSA immediately by e-mail and by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. If GSA cannot establish that the Product has been delivered to the Purchaser and non-delivery cannot be attributed to the Purchaser (e.g. incorrect address details supplied), the Purchaser may request cancellation of the sales contract in the registered letter and, on receipt of this request, GSA shall reimburse the Purchaser the price paid.

6. Methods of payment
The price due by the Purchaser is that shown on the order summary that he/she confirmed. Payments will be made by bank card. GSA accepts French (with the CB logo) and international (with the VISA or MASTERCARD sign) bank cards. Cards issued by banks not domiciled in France must be international bank cards. Payments will be made using a secure system which uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in such a way that the information transmitted will be encrypted and no third-party will be able to intercept this during transmission through the network. The Purchaser must give the number of his/her bank card, expiry date, the name of the cardholder shown on the card and the three last figures of the number on the back of the card close to the signature (the security number). The Purchaser’s account will be debited for the sum of the Products ordered, once his/her order has been validated. The Purchaser will be informed of products which are unavailable by email. In this case, the Purchaser will be refunded by having his or her account re-credited.. If the banking organisations do not authorise payment, the order will not be considered and Products will not be delivered.
In addition, for orders exceeding 250 euros and in order to limit fraud, GSA reserves the right to require the Purchaser to provide proof of his identity and prepay his order beforehand via bank transfer before accepting it. If the Purchaser accepts these two conditions, GSA will communicate the information necessary for him to proceed with paying for the order via bank transfer. The costs shall be borne by the Purchaser. The order shall only be shipped upon receipt of proof of identity and bank transfer payment within 8 days of the initial request made by GSA to the Purchaser. If the Purchaser has not responded within the aforementioned 8 day period, GSA shall cancel the order.

7. Withdrawal Period
In accordance with article L121-21 of the French Consumer Code, the Purchaser has a withdrawal period of 14 working days from the receipt of the product to exercise his or her right to cancel the order. GSA provides a cancellation form so the Purchaser can cancel. GSA will acknowledge receipt of the Purchaser’s cancellation request and inform the Purchaser that he/she has a maximum statutory period of 14 days from the cancellation date to return the Product(s) ordered to GSA at his/her own expense, except for personalised products for which the cancellation right does not apply. When the Purchaser exercises the right of cancellation, the product must be returned complete, in perfect condition, unused, unwashed, in its original packaging and accompanied by the proof of the date of receipt of the product, with the delivery slip enclosed. The Products(s) must be returned by post to the following address: SALMON ARC EN CIEL, Service retours web, 49 rue de Vendée, 49450 VILLEDIEU-LA-BLOUERE (France).
