Article 1 – Definitions

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the "GTC") are offered by the company Beautybienetre , under number 1160410388 and whose registered office is located at chemin du Chute-Saint-Phillipe Qc J0W1A0. .

Hereinafter referred to as:

"Site": the "beautybienetre.com" website and all its pages, exclusive property of the Company.

"Products" or "Services": all products (material) and services (benefits) that can be purchased or provided, and subscribed to on the Site.

"Seller":beautybienetre, a legal entity or individual, offering its Products or Services on the Site.

"Client": the internet user, individual or professional, making a purchase of Product(s) or Service(s) on the Site.

"Consumer", in accordance with the definition of the preliminary article of the Consumer Code: "any natural person who acts for purposes which are not within the scope of his commercial, industrial, artisanal or liberal activity".

The internet user visiting the Site and interested in the Products and Services offered by the Seller is invited to read these GTC carefully, print them and/or

save them on a durable medium, before placing an order on the Site.

The Client acknowledges having read the GTC and accepts them in full.

Article 2 – Application of the GTC and purpose of the Site

The Seller reserves the right to modify the GTC at any time by publishing a new version of them on the Site.

The GTC applicable to the Client are those in force on the day of their order on the Site.

Legal information concerning the host and publisher of the Site, the collection and processing of personal data, and the terms of use of the Site are provided in the general terms of use, the legal notices, and the data charter of this Site.

This Site offers the online sale of Beauty and Wellness products.

Access to the Site is free and open to all Clients. The acquisition of a Product or a Service implies the Client's full acceptance of these GTC, who thereby acknowledges having fully understood them. This acceptance may consist, for example, of the Client checking the box corresponding to the acceptance phrase for these GTC, for example, stating "I acknowledge having read and accepted all the general conditions of the Site". Checking this box will be considered to have the same value as a handwritten signature by the Client.

Acceptance of these GTC implies that Clients have the necessary legal capacity to do so. If the Client is a minor or does not have this legal capacity, they declare that they have the authorization of a guardian, curator, or their legal representative.

The Client acknowledges the probative value of the Seller's automatic registration systems and, unless proven otherwise, waives the right to dispute them in the event of a dispute.

Any Order for Products implies unreserved acceptance by the Client and their full and complete adherence to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which prevail over any other document: catalogs, advertisements, notices, unless expressly and prior derogation agreement from the Company.

The Client must indicate in the e-mail their first name, last name, the subject of their request, and their Order number.

For any professional request (partnership, media, contract proposal), the Company can only be reached by email atcontact@beautybienetre.com.

Article 4 – How to place orders and description of the purchase process

The Products and Services offered are those listed in the catalog published on the Site. Each product is accompanied by a description established by the Seller based on the descriptions provided by the supplier.

The photos on the Site are non-contractual and may vary significantly from the photographed models. These variations are due to the settings of different screens and cameras, product lighting, shooting angle, etc.

Hereinafter, "Cart" is defined as the intangible object bringing together all the Products or Services selected by the Client of the Site for purchase by clicking on these items. To place an order, the Client chooses the Product(s) they wish to order by adding them to their "Cart", the content of which can be modified at any time.

  1. The Client places the Order via the Site: the Client registers and validates the Order on the Site.
  2. To place an Order on the Site, the Client freely selects one or more Products from the Site's catalog by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button. On the "Cart" page, the Client can check the details of their Order and correct any errors before confirming it.
  3. On the "Information" page, the Client must enter their contact information. They can opt for order tracking by email by checking the required box.
  4. On the "Delivery" page, the Client must choose their preferred shipping method.
  5. On the "Confirmation" page, the Client must enter their bank details as well as the billing address. The Client also has the option to enter a promotional code if they have one.
  6. A complete summary of the Order appears. The Client has the possibility to modify all elements of the Order before finalization. The Client is responsible for any errors relating to the Order, Products, and contact information.
  7. The sale is validly formed when the Client has confirmed the Order by clicking on the "Finalize my order" button, has accepted the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, and has proceeded with payment according to the chosen method, subject to the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

The validation date of the Order corresponds to the date of effective receipt of the full price including all taxes duly noted.

Article 5 – Prices and payment methods

Unless otherwise stated, the prices in the catalog are understood in Euros, all taxes included (TTC), taking into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order and excluding any possible contribution to processing and shipping costs.

Beauty Bien êtrereserves the right to pass on any change in the VAT rate to the price of 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 Client.

The Client can place an order on this Site and can make payment 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 Client's payment methods. Payment is made directly to the bank or payment provider receiving the Client's payment. In case of payment by bank transfer, the delivery times defined in the "Deliveries" article of these GTC only start from the effective date of receipt of payment by the Seller, who can prove this by any means. The availability of Products is indicated on the Site, in the descriptive sheet of each Product.

Beauty Bien êtrewill archive order forms and invoices on a reliable and durable medium constituting a faithful copy. Computerized registers will be defined by the parties as proof of communications, orders, payments, and transactions between the parties.

Article 6 – Deliveries

Delivery costs will be indicated to the Client before any payment. The Site has no geographical delivery limitation; orders can be shipped anywhere in the world. The delivery times indicated during the order are for informational purposes only and remain dependent on possible delays from postal services or other specific cases characteristic of delivery (demonstrations, bad weather, etc.).

In the event of delivery of a Product outside the territory of the European Union and in overseas departments and territories, the Client declares themselves the importer of the Product and accepts that in such a case, the Seller may be physically unable to provide them with accurate information on the total amount of fees relating to customs duties and formalities or import taxes applicable in the country where the Product's delivery is requested.

Unless otherwise indicated on the Site during the order process or in the description of the ordered Products, the Seller undertakes in all cases to deliver the Products within a maximum period of thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract with a Consumer Client.

In the event of a hand delivery, the client may refuse a package at the time of delivery if they notice an anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, missing Product compared to the delivery note, damaged package, broken Products, etc.); any anomaly must then imperatively be indicated by the Client on the delivery note, in the form of handwritten reservations, accompanied by the Client's signature. To exercise their right of refusal, the Client must open the damaged or defective package(s) in the presence of the carrier and have them take back the damaged goods. In the event of delivery to a mailbox, the client undertakes to immediately check the package and contact Beauty Bien-être support if they notice any anomaly. Failing to comply with these provisions, the Client will not be able to exercise their right of refusal, and the Seller will not be obliged to accede to the Client's request to exercise the right of refusal.

If the Client's package is returned to the Seller by the Post Office or other postal providers, the Seller will contact the Client upon receipt of the returned package to inquire about how they wish to proceed with their order. If the Client mistakenly refused the package, they can request reshipment by first paying the postal fees for the new shipment. Postal fees must be paid even for orders where shipping was free at the time of the original order.

In case of delivery error or exchange (if the right of withdrawal is applicable, i.e., if the Client is a Consumer and the contract for 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 clumsiness or mishandling by the Client cannot be attributed to the Seller.

Any delay in delivery compared to the date or deadline indicated to the Consumer Client when placing their order or, in the absence of a date or deadline indication when ordering, exceeding thirty (30) days from the conclusion of the contract, may lead to the cancellation of the sale at the initiative of the Consumer Client, upon written request by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, if, after having urged the Seller to make the delivery, the Seller has not complied. The Consumer Client will then be reimbursed, at the latest within fourteen (14) days following the date on which the contract was issued, for the full amount paid. This clause is not intended to apply if the delivery delay is due to a force majeure event.

Special case of a package whose tracking number indicates that it has been "delivered" but not received in the mailbox: if the Client notices and informs the Seller that the package is not in their mailbox despite the tracking number indicating it has been "delivered", customer service may ask for additional information and an official document from La Poste responding to their complaint regarding the corresponding tracking number. The Seller will then make every effort to ensure Client satisfaction by notably offering to immediately resend the products at their own expense.

Article 7 – Right of withdrawal and withdrawal form

The Consumer Client has fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt of their ordered product to withdraw. They will be required to return any product that does not suit them and request an exchange or refund without penalties, with the exception of return costs, within fourteen days from the date Beauty Bien-être receives the refund request.

The Product must be returned in perfect condition, unopened (under blister if applicable), and unused. The Consumer Client can find a standard withdrawal form below for an order placed on the Site, to be sent to Beauty Bien-être. It is understood that the Client will bear the costs of returning the Product in case of withdrawal.

The Client is advised to make the return using a solution that allows tracking of the package. Otherwise, if the returned package does not reach the Seller, it will not be possible to initiate an inquiry with the postal services to locate it.

The refund will be made using the same payment method chosen by the Client for the initial transaction, unless the Client expressly agrees that the Seller uses another payment method, and provided that the refund does not incur any costs for the Client.

The Seller also reserves the right to defer reimbursement until receipt of the Product or as long as the Client has not demonstrated that they have shipped the Product, if such demonstration has not taken place previously.

In the event 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 Client's liability may be engaged.

In accordance with article L121-17 of the Consumer Code ("Hamon Law") of June 2014, the Consumer Client can find below a standard withdrawal form for an order placed on the site:

Article 8 – Product Warranty

Legal provisions to be reproduced

The legal guarantee of conformity applies to any commercial guarantee that may be granted.

The consumer may decide to invoke the warranty against hidden defects of the sold item as defined by Article 1641 of the Civil Code, unless the seller has stipulated that they will not be bound by any warranty; in the event of invoking this warranty, the buyer has the choice between rescinding the sale or a reduction in the selling price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. They have a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.

The reporting, suspension or interruption of the prescription cannot have the effect of extending the prescriptive period beyond twenty years from the day the right arose, in accordance with Article 2232 of the Civil Code.

All items purchased on this site benefit from the following legal guarantees, as provided by the Civil Code;

Legal guarantee of conformity

The Seller is obliged to deliver goods that conform to the contract concluded with the Consumer Client and to be responsible for any defects in conformity existing at the time the Product is delivered. The guarantee of conformity can be exercised if a defect exists on the day the Product is taken possession of.

However, it will be up to the Client to prove that the defect did exist at the time of taking possession of the Product.

"In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the goods. 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 option, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. The seller is then obliged to proceed, unless impossible, according to the option not chosen by the buyer."

Legal guarantee against hidden defects

In the event of non-conformity of a delivered Product, it may be returned to the Seller, who will proceed with its exchange. If exchange of the Product is impossible (obsolete Product, out of stock, etc.), the Client will be reimbursed by check or bank transfer for the amount of their order. The costs of the exchange or refund procedure (including return shipping costs for the Product) are then borne by the Seller.

Article 9 – Liability

The SellerYOUR BRANDcannot be held responsible for the non-performance of the contract due to the occurrence of a force majeure event. Regarding purchased Products, the Seller will not incur any liability for any indirect damages resulting from the present, loss of business, loss of profit, damage, or expenses that may arise.

The choice and purchase of a Product or Service are the sole responsibility of the Client. The total or partial inability to use the Products, particularly due to material incompatibility, cannot give rise to any compensation, refund, or engagement of the Seller's liability, except in the case of a proven hidden defect, non-conformity, defectiveness, or exercise of the right of withdrawal if applicable, meaning if the Client is not a Consumer Client and the contract entered into for the materials, Product or Service allows withdrawal, according to Article L 121-21 of the Consumer Code.

The Client expressly authorizes the use of the Site at their own risk and under their exclusive responsibility. In any event,YOUR BRANDcannot under any circumstances be held responsible for:

  • any direct or indirect damage, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of income, loss of customers, loss of data that may result from the use of the Site, or conversely from the impossibility of its use;
  • a malfunction, unavailability of access, misuse, misconfiguration of the Client's computer, or the use of a browser rarely used by the Client;
  • the content of advertisements and other links or external sources accessible to Clients from the Site.

The Seller's liability cannot therefore be engaged if the characteristics of the Products differ from the visuals on the Site or if they are erroneous or incomplete.

Article 10 – Force majeure

In accordance with Article 1218 of the Civil Code, force majeure or fortuitous events are defined as 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, to the extent that their occurrence makes the performance of obligations totally impossible.

The occurrence of a force majeure event will automatically suspend the execution of the Order.

Beyond a period of ninety (90) calendar days, if the parties note the persistence of the force majeure event, the Order may be canceled by either party, and the sales contract terminated. For this purpose, the most diligent party must send the other a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt denouncing the said sales contract.

The effective date of termination will be the date of the first presentation of the letter. In this scenario, neither party may claim damages, unless otherwise agreed by both parties.

The fact that a clause in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale becomes null and void shall not affect the validity of the other stipulations and does not exempt the Client from fulfilling their contractual obligations.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Company, its affiliates, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, service providers, attorneys, suppliers and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Website or our products and services, your breach of the terms, or your breach of your acknowledgements, agreements, representations, warranties and obligations hereunder.

National or cross-border disputes that arise concerning the validity, interpretation, execution or non-execution, interruption or termination of this contract, may be submitted to mediation at the Client's request.

The European Commission's website describes the mediation process used and allows Clients to submit a mediation request online, accompanied by supporting documents.

The dispute cannot be examined by the Mediator if:

- the Client does not prove that they have first attempted to resolve their dispute directly with the Company through a written complaint,

- the request is manifestly unfounded or abusive,

- the dispute has been previously examined or is currently being examined by another mediator or by a court,

- the consumer submitted their request to the mediator more than one year after their written complaint to the Company,

The Mediator may not receive any instructions from the parties nor be remunerated based on the outcome.

Participation in mediation does not exclude the possibility of recourse before a court. The parties remain free to submit their dispute to a judge within the framework of applicable legal provisions. In case of litigation before a judge, jurisdiction is attributed to the competent Estonian court.

The Site reserves the right to initiate criminal proceedings against any attempt at fraudulent purchase or purchase with a prohibited, stolen, or falsified bank card. In this context, no amicable conciliation attempt will be accepted.

The fact that a clause in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale becomes null and void shall not affect the validity of the other stipulations and shall not exempt the Client from fulfilling their contractual obligations.
