This article 7.2 is applicable to the Customer having the status of consumer within the meaning of the introductory article of the Consumer Code.

7.2.1. Conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal

In accordance with the legislation in force regarding distance selling, the Customer has a period of fourteen clear days to exercise his right of withdrawal without having to provide reasons or pay penalties, with the exception, where applicable, of return costs.
The period referred to in the preceding paragraph shall run from either the day on which the distance contract is concluded for contracts relating to the provision of a service and/or the provision of digital content not provided on a physical medium, or from the receipt of the goods by the Customer or a third party, other than the carrier, designated by the Customer, for contracts for the sale of goods and contracts for the provision of services including the delivery of goods.
In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order for a good composed of lots or multiple parts whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, the period runs from the receipt of the last good or lot or the last part. For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods during a defined period, the period runs from the receipt of the first good.
When the period of fourteen days expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day.

The decision to withdraw must be notified to the Publisher at the contact details indicated in Article 1 of these general terms and conditions by means of an unambiguous statement. The Customer may, for example, use the standard form provided at the end of these general terms and conditions. In any event, the Publisher will send the Customer an acknowledgement of receipt of said withdrawal by email as soon as possible.

7.2.2. Effects of the right of withdrawal

The Customer returns or restores the products to the professional or to any person designated by the latter, without undue delay and, at the latest, within fourteen days following the communication of his decision to withdraw.
When the right of withdrawal is exercised, the professional is required to reimburse the Customer for the full amount paid, as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen days following the date on which this right was exercised. Where applicable, the professional may defer reimbursement until recovery of the Products or until the Customer has provided proof of shipment of the Products, whichever is the earlier. Beyond this, the amount due is, by operation of law, productive of interest at the legal rate in force, as specified in Article L. 242-4 of the Consumer Code.
Where applicable, the professional will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as that used by the Customer for the initial transaction. However, the professional is not required to reimburse the additional costs if the Customer has expressly chosen a more expensive delivery method than the standard delivery method offered.
The direct costs of returning the Product are the responsibility of the Customer. These costs are estimated at a maximum of 29 euros if, due to its nature, the Product cannot normally be returned by post.
The Customer is only liable for any depreciation of the Product resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the Product.

The conditions, deadlines and procedures for exercising the right of withdrawal are set out in the standard form provided at the end of these general conditions.

Items sold electronically are non-refundable due to the ability to download them.

7.2.3. Exclusions from the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply, in particular, to contracts:
  • for the provision of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and the execution of which began after the express prior agreement of the Customer and express waiver of his right of withdrawal;
  • for the supply of goods made to the Customer's specifications or clearly personalized;
  • of supply of goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
  • for the supply of goods which have been unsealed by the Customer after delivery and which cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection;
  • for the supply of goods which, after being delivered and by their nature, are inseparably mixed with other items;
  • for the supply of alcoholic beverages whose delivery is deferred beyond thirty days and whose value agreed upon at the conclusion of the contract depends on fluctuations in the market beyond the control of the professional;
  • maintenance or repair work to be carried out urgently at the Customer's home and expressly requested by the Customer, within the limit of spare parts and work strictly necessary to respond to the emergency;
  • for the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software when they have been unsealed by the Customer after delivery;
  • for the supply of a newspaper, periodical or magazine, except for subscription contracts to such publications;
  • concluded at a public auction;
  • of accommodation services, other than residential accommodation, goods transport services, car rentals, catering or leisure activities which must be provided on a specific date or during a specific period;
  • for the supply of digital content not provided on a physical medium, the execution of which has begun after the express prior agreement of the Customer and express waiver of his right of withdrawal.
Similarly, the right of withdrawal is not applicable to contracts executed in full by both parties at the express request of the Customer before the latter exercises his right of withdrawal.
When validating the order of digital content independent of any physical medium before the expiry of the withdrawal period, the Customer's waiver of the right of withdrawal will be manifested by checking the box corresponding to the following sentence: “I expressly waive my 14-day right of withdrawal for the Products delivered”. The Customer will then receive an email confirmation of their waiver of the right of withdrawal.
When confirming the order for a service, the Customer's waiver of the right of withdrawal will be demonstrated by checking the box corresponding to the following sentence: "I expressly waive my 14-day right of withdrawal for services I receive before the end of this period." The Customer will then receive confirmation by email of their waiver of the right of withdrawal.

The Customer who has exercised his right of withdrawal from a service provision contract, the execution of which has begun, at his express request, before the end of the withdrawal period, pays the professional an amount corresponding to the service provided until the communication of his decision to withdraw, this amount being proportional to the total price of the service agreed in the contract.

7.3. Termination of the contract at the initiative of the Client

The Consumer Customer may terminate the contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt if the delivery date of the goods is exceeded by more than seven days. The Customer will then be reimbursed for the sums paid by him when ordering.

This clause is not intended to apply if the delay in delivery is due to a case of force majeure. In such a case, the Customer undertakes not to take legal action against the Publisher and waives the right to invoke the termination of the sale provided for in this article.

7.4. Guarantees
