The Site allows the Seller to offer cosmetic products as well as food supplements for sale to Users browsing the Site (hereinafter the "Products").

For the purposes of the T&Cs, it is agreed that the User and Seller shall be collectively referred to as the "Parties" and individually referred to as the "Party", and that the User who has validated an order shall then be referred to as the "Purchaser".

The User's rights and obligations necessarily apply to the Buyer.

 

PURPOSE AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 The T&Cs are enforceable against the User who acknowledges, by ticking a box provided for this purpose, that he/she has read and accepted them before placing an order. It is specified that the User may save or print the CGUV, provided however that they are not modified.

The GCUV may be supplemented by provisions in the special conditions of sale or purchase orders. By accepting the GCUV, the Purchaser expressly waives any possible general terms and conditions of purchase.

The Seller reserves the right to modify these T&CUV at any time, without notice, it being understood that such modifications shall not apply to reservations and orders previously accepted and confirmed by the Buyer.

The fact that the Seller does not at any given time invoke any of the GCUV shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the said conditions at a later date. 

The nullity of a contractual clause does not entail the nullity of the GCUV. The temporary or permanent inapplication of one or more clauses of the GCUV by the Seller shall not constitute a waiver by the Seller of the other clauses of the GCUV which continue to have effect.

The Purchaser must keep his purchase invoice in order to benefit from these legal guarantees.

For any complaint, the Buyer may contact the Seller at the following address: contact@gold48k. com

 Legal guarantee of conformity

The Seller will deliver to you a product that conforms to the contract and is free from defects in conformity upon delivery of the said product, in the sense that the product will be fit for the use usually expected of a similar product and that it will have the characteristics presented at the time of sale. The Seller is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from packaging.

This guarantee will only be effective if the Purchaser requests it within two years of delivery of the product. Defects of conformity that appear within 24 months of delivery are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

The Buyer may choose between repairing or replacing the product unless one of these choices results in a manifestly disproportionate cost to the Seller. If repair or replacement of the product is not possible, the Purchaser may return the price paid and return the product or keep the product and be refunded part of the price, unless the lack of conformity is minor. The return, replacement or refund of the product shall be made at no cost to the Purchaser and shall not prevent the possible award of damages in the event that the Purchaser is entitled to them.

Legal guarantee for hidden defects

The Seller shall deliver a product free of hidden defects that would make it unfit for its intended use, or that reduce such use to such an extent that the Buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have a lower price, if he had known them.

In the event of a hidden defect, the Purchaser shall have the choice of returning the product and being refunded the price and costs incurred by the sale or keeping the product and being refunded part of the price. In any case, it will be up to the Purchaser to prove that he meets the conditions of the warranty.

Appendix 1: Provisions of the Consumer Code concerning the legal guarantee of conformity

Article L217-4 

The seller delivers a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

He shall also be liable for defects in conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility.

 Article L217-5 

The property is in conformity with the contract:

1° If it is suitable for the use usually expected of a similar property and, if applicable:

- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;

- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling;

2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted.

Article L217-6 

The seller is not bound by the public statements of the producer or his representative if it is established that he did not know them and was legitimately unable to know them.

Article L217-7 

Lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 24 months of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For
second-hand goods, this period is set at
six months.

The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.

 Article L217-8 

The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods comply with the contract. However, he cannot contest conformity by invoking a defect that he knew or could not have been unaware of when he contracted it. The same shall apply where the defect has its origin in the materials supplied by him.

Article L217-9 

In the event 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 method, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

Article L217-10-10 

If repair and replacement of the property is not possible, the buyer may return the property and have the price returned or keep the property and have part of the price returned. The
same
faculty is open to him:

(1) If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon pursuant to section L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint;

2° Or if this solution cannot be done without major inconvenience for the latter given the nature of the property and the use it seeks. 

However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.

Article L217-11 

The application of the provisions of the articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place at no cost to the buyer.

These same provisions do not prevent the award of damages.

 Article L217-12-12 

The action resulting from the lack of conformity shall be barred after two years from the date of delivery of the goods.

Article L217-13 

The provisions of this section shall not deprive the buyer of the right to bring an action resulting from the prohibited defects as set out in the articles 1641 à 1649 of the Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or non-contractual nature recognized by law.

Article L217-14 

The recourse action may be brought by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible personal property, in accordance with the principles of the civil code.

 

Appendix 2: Provisions of the Civil Code concerning the guarantee against hidden defects

Article 1641

The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the thing sold that make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or that reduce this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price, if he had known them.

Article 1642

The seller is not liable for any apparent defects that the buyer may have convinced himself of.

Article 1643

He is liable for hidden defects, even if he did not know them, unless, in this case, he has stipulated that he will not be bound by any guarantee.

Article 1645

If the seller was aware of the defects of the thing, he is liable, in addition to the restitution of the price he received, for all damages towards the buyer.

Article 1646

If the seller is unaware of the defects of the thing, he will only be required to return the price and reimburse the buyer for the costs incurred by the sale.

Article 1647

If the thing that had defects perished as a result of its poor quality, the loss is for the seller, who will be liable to the buyer for the restitution of the price and other compensation explained in the two previous articles.

But the loss that occurs as a result of a fortuitous event will be for the buyer's account.

Article 1648

The action resulting from the fundamental defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect.

In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be relieved of any apparent defects or lack of conformity.
