The purchaser may benefit from special discounts where applicable, in accordance with the conditions established when the quotation is drawn up.

4. Products

The products governed by these general terms and conditions of sale are those which appear on the website www.semper-invicta.fr as well as all products sold by SEMPER INVICTA, even if they are not mentioned on the site.

The products sold by SEMPER INVICTA are new. They are offered for sale while stocks last. If the product is unavailable, our services will inform the customer and indicate the expected production time.

The products are described and represented as accurately as possible. Unfortunately, omissions or errors may occur. SEMPER INVICTA shall not be held liable in such cases, unless the use and purpose of the product are affected.

Photographs are non-contractual.

Our products can be customized on request, subject to a minimum order quantity, which Semper Invicta's teams are the sole judges of. In accordance with article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, these personalized products may not be retracted by the customer. 

5. Warranties

SEMPER INVICTA guarantees the purchaser against any lack of conformity and any hidden defect resulting from a design defect in the product. 

A. Legal warranty of conformity

According to Article L. 217-3 of the French Consumer Code, SEMPER INVICTA is responsible for defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods, which appear within two (2) years of delivery.

In this case, the Buyer must make the goods available to SEMPER INVICTA to choose between repairing or replacing them.

B. Legal warranty against hidden defects

SEMPER INVICTA guarantees the Customer against hidden defects in the goods which render them unfit for use or which greatly diminish their use. 

If the Buyer reports this defect within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect, he/she may choose between reimbursement of the product in exchange for its return to SEMPER INVICTA, or part of the reimbursement of the good if he/she wishes to keep the good (Article 1644 of the French Civil Code).

SEMPER INVICTA accepts no responsibility for any damage caused to the end user of the Product. The Customer is solely responsible for the use made of the Product, the risks associated with the use of the Product are and remain, in any event, the responsibility of the Customer.

6. Delivery

SEMPER INVICTA sells and exports its products worldwide. Depending on the place of arrival, delivery times may vary beyond our control.

Product delivery times are provided for information only, unless SEMPER INVICTA has made an express written commitment to specific dates and times.

In the event of a foreseeable delay in delivery, SEMPER INVICTA will inform the customer as soon as possible by telephone or e-mail. On the other hand, SEMPER INVICTA cannot be held responsible for any delay or lack of reception due to force majeure or a fault of the customer such as the absence of the latter at the time of delivery to the address indicated in the order.

In the event of failure to deliver within the expressly agreed timeframe, or, failing this, no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract, the customer may give SEMPER INVICTA formal notice, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, to proceed with delivery within a reasonable additional timeframe. Should SEMPER INVICTA fail to deliver within this new period, the customer may cancel the contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The contract will be considered terminated upon receipt by SEMPER INVICTA of this letter, unless SEMPER INVICTA has performed in the meantime.

However, the customer may cancel the contract immediately:

Any parcel returned to SEMPER INVICTA because of an incorrect or incomplete delivery address must be sent back at the buyer's expense as soon as possible.

7. Right of withdrawal

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the individual Buyer has a period of fourteen (14) days from the date of receipt of the goods to exercise his right of withdrawal. This right does not apply to personalized goods, i.e. goods made to the Buyer's specifications, nor to goods unsealed by the Customer after delivery for reasons of hygiene.

In the event of retraction, the Buyer will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods, and will be fully reimbursed for the price of the goods and any outward delivery costs incurred. The Buyer must accompany the returned goods with a declaration of withdrawal.

8. Force majeure

All circumstances beyond the control of the parties, which prevent the performance of their obligations under normal conditions, shall be considered as grounds for exoneration from the parties' obligations and shall result in their suspension.

The party invoking the aforementioned circumstances must immediately notify the other party of their occurrence and disappearance.

Cases of force majeure correspond to facts and circumstances that are irresistible, external to the parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable and beyond their control. The parties will work together to determine the conditions under which performance of the contract will continue. If the case of force majeure lasts for more than 3 months, the present terms and conditions may be terminated by the injured party.

9. Applicable law

These terms and conditions of sale are governed by French law. The parties undertake to find an amicable solution to any dispute arising from the interpretation of this contract. Should they fail to do so, they will submit the dispute to the Paris Commercial Court.
