The risks of loss and damage to the Products are transferred to the Customer at the time when the Customer, or a third party designated by the Customer, takes physical possession of the Products.
In accordance with Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code, TEMO's right of recourse against the carrier in the event of damage or partial loss shall lapse on receipt of the transported items if the consignee has not notified the carrier, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter, of its reasoned complaint within the following three (3) days, not including public holidays.

Accordingly, in order to enable TEMO to safeguard its rights in respect of the carrier, the Customer is asked to (i) inform TEMO of any damage to or partial loss of the Products ordered, as soon as the Products are received, by e-mail to hello@temofrance.com and (ii) notify the carrier concerned within three (3) days by registered letter.
In particular, in the event of damage to the parcel or the Products, the Customer is asked (i) to refuse the parcel by writing "Refused: Product damaged" on the delivery note, or (ii) if the Customer accepts the parcel nonetheless, to make any necessary comments on the delivery note, stating any damage to the Products.

11.5. Customs clearance
By purchasing Products on the Website, the Customer expressly authorises TEMO to carry out, on the Customer's behalf, all formalities and customs clearance operations required for delivery of the Products to the place of delivery specified by the Customer.
All costs, duties and/or taxes arising from these customs clearance operations shall be borne exclusively by the Customer, who must pay them at the time of delivery of the Products.

12. Right of withdrawal
The provisions of this Article 12 apply exclusively to Customers whose order for Products has been delivered by TEMO within the European Union.

12.1. How to exercise your right of withdrawal
In accordance with the provisions of the French Consumer Code, the Customer benefits from a right of withdrawal, by virtue of which they may decide to renounce their commitment to purchase Products, without having to justify their decision or pay any penalty, for the purposes of exchange or reimbursement.
This right does not apply to Products that are made to the Customer's specifications (and in particular if applicable as part of personalisation or engraving services) or that are clearly personalised, in accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code.
The Customer must exercise their right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date on which they or the third party designated by them receives the Product or, in the case of Services, fourteen (14) days of the date on which the contract is concluded.
In the event of an order comprising several Products that are delivered separately, the period runs from the day on which the Customer or the designated third party receives the last Product in the order.
The Customer must inform TEMO of their intention to exercise their right of withdrawal before this period expires, either by using the withdrawal form available in Annex 1, which must be sent to TEMO by e-mail or post, or directly from their Customer Account.
TEMO will acknowledge receipt of the Customer's request.

12.2. Procedures for returning Products when exercising the right of withdrawal
Any Customer who has exercised their right of withdrawal as referred to in Article 12.1 must return the Product(s) concerned to TEMO's registered office address, at their own expense and at the latest within fourteen (14) days of informing TEMO of their decision to withdraw.
The risks related to the transport of Products returned by the Customer shall be borne by the Customer until the date on which TEMO receives proof of shipment.
The Product being returned must be returned in its entirety (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) and in perfect condition for resale.
In order to facilitate the processing of the return, the Customer is asked to enclose a copy of the corresponding invoice.
In accordance with the French Consumer Code, the Customer may be held liable in the event of any depreciation of the Product caused by handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the Product.

12.3. Reimbursement  
If the Customer exercises their right of withdrawal as referred to in Article 12.1, they may request reimbursement of the sums paid.
TEMO shall reimburse the Customer for the sums paid by the Customer at the time of ordering, including, where applicable, delivery costs, but excluding any additional costs associated with the choice of a delivery method that is more expensive than the standard delivery method offered by TEMO. The cost of returning the Product shall be borne exclusively by the Customer.  
If the right of withdrawal is exercised in respect of only some of the Products received, the delivery costs will be reimbursed in proportion to the weight of the Products returned or, if the delivery costs have been calculated on a flat-rate basis, they will not be reimbursed to the Customer.
The reimbursement will be made as soon as possible and no later than the date of receipt by TEMO of the returned Product or receipt by TEMO of proof of shipment of the Product by the Customer, whichever is the earlier.
TEMO will carry out the reimbursement using the same means of payment as that used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless another means of payment has been expressly agreed between the parties.

13. Guarantees
13.1. Legal guarantees
Consumers have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the goods in which to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
Where the contract for the sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee applies to this digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or service and not the date on which it appeared.
The legal guarantee of conformity implies an obligation on the part of the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of their request, free of charge and without any major inconvenience to the consumer.
If the goods are repaired under the legal conformity guarantee, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension to the initial guarantee.
If the consumer asks for the goods to be repaired, but the seller requires them to be replaced, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date on which the goods are replaced.
The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if:
1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the goods;
2° The goods are repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;
3° The repair or replacement of the goods causes major inconvenience to the consumer, in particular where the consumer definitively bears the cost of collection or removal of the non-conforming goods, or if they bear the cost of installing the repaired or replacement goods;
4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify an immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. In this case, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the goods to be repaired or replaced beforehand.
Consumers do not have the right to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period during which the goods are out of service in order to be repaired or replaced suspends the remaining warranty period until the goods are restored to working order or replacement goods delivered.
The rights referred to above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
A seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith may incur a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are kept or to a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods.
In order to benefit from the guarantees, the Customer shall not modify, repair or tamper with the Product without TEMO's consent.
With the exception of digital services, the provisions relating to Legal Guarantees do not apply to the provision of Services.

13.2. Terms and conditions for returning Products under a legal guarantee
Any Customer wishing to return a Product under a legal guarantee must first inform TEMO by e-mail at hello@temofrance.com, or by post at the address given in the Preamble.
TEMO will acknowledge receipt of the Customer's request and provide the Customer with the necessary instructions for returning the Product.
Products found to be non-compliant or defective will be reimbursed as soon as possible. TEMO will cover the cost of returning the goods in France and in European Union countries, on submission of receipts where applicable.

14. Intellectual property
The intellectual property rights attached to the Products, including but not limited to trademarks, designs, plans, models and patents, are the exclusive property of TEMO or its partners. No user licence is granted to the Customer under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. 

15. General provisions
15.1. Partial invalidity
The nullity of a contractual clause does not result in the nullity of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, with the exception of an impelling and determining clause which led one of the parties to enter into the contract.

15.2. Amendment of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale
TEMO reserves the right to amend the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. Consequently, the applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale are those in force on the date of the Customer's order.

15.3. Mediation - Applicable law - Jurisdiction
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale, and more generally the Contract, are subject to French law, to the exclusion of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980. If the Customer is a consumer habitually resident in an EU or EEA Member State or in Switzerland, the Customer will benefit from all the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they reside. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of a customer as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions under applicable local laws.


In the event of any dispute relating to the conclusion or performance of the Contract, the Customer must, before taking any other action, contact TEMO with a view to seeking an amicable solution. The Customer may send a written complaint by e-mail to: hello@temofrance.com, or by post to the address given in the Preamble.
If an amicable solution cannot be reached, the Customer is informed that, in accordance with the French Consumer Code, they may have recourse to conventional mediation, in particular with the Commission de la médiation de la consommation (Consumer Mediation Commission) or with the existing industry mediation bodies, the contact details of which are given below, or to any alternative dispute resolution method in the event of a dispute.
