ARTICLE 2 – ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (referred to from now on as “General Terms and Conditions of Sale”) set out all the parties’ obligations. The Buyer is therefore deemed to fully accept all the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to all sales made on the website https://www.amiparis.com/ . They do not apply to in-store sales or sales through other marketing channels. They are available on the website https://www.amiparis.com/ (referred to from now on as the “Site”) and will take precedence over any other document. AMI PARIS (referred to from now on as “AMI PARIS” or the “Seller”) and the Buyer agree that these General Terms and Conditions of Sale will govern their relationship.
The AMI PARIS products (referred to from now on as the “Products”) are exclusively intended for sale to end customers who are natural persons or non-professional legal entities (referred to from now on as the “Customers”), excluding all resellers or intermediaries acting on behalf of resellers.

The Seller reserves the right to amend the General Terms and Conditions of Sale from time to time and they will take effect as soon as they are published online. Should a selling condition not be complied with, it will be deemed to be governed by the current practices in the distance selling sector.

ARTICLE 8 – PRODUCT INFORMATION
"The Products governed by these General Terms and Conditions of Sale are those which appear on the Site and which are indicated as sold and shipped by AMI PARIS. They are offered while stocks last. AMI PARIS is not liable if the Products are out of stock or unavailable on the Site. AMI PARIS reserves the right to change the Products offered on the Site at any time and without prior notice.
To ensure a better quality of service and availability of its Products to all Buyers on the Site, AMI PARIS reserves the right to limit the quantity of Products that may be purchased by a Buyer, in accordance with the provisions applicable in this respect and in particular those of Article L.121-11 of the French Consumer Code.
In accordance with this article, AMI PARIS reserves the right not to accept an order from a Buyer with whom it is in dispute over a previous order, or if AMI PARIS reasonably believes that this Buyer has breached these General Terms and Conditions of Sale or is engaged in fraudulent activity, or for any other legitimate reason.
AMI PARIS may also be obliged to cancel a Customer's order in the event of an obvious material error concerning the display of the price of the Products sold. For example, an obviously incorrect price listed as much lower than the actual price of the product for sale could not be legitimately disputed by the Customer in good faith.
While every effort is made to ensure that the color and design of the Products whose photos are displayed on the Site are true to the original Products, variations may occur, in particular, due to the technical limitations of color rendering on the Buyer’s computer equipment. Therefore, AMI PARIS may not be held liable for any mistakes or inaccuracies relating to the non-essential properties of the Products appearing in the photographs or graphic representations of the Products on the Site."
ARTICLE 9 – PRICE
The Seller reserves the right to amend its prices at any time but agrees to apply the prices in force at the time the order is placed, subject to availability on that date.
Depending on the delivery country selected, prices may be displayed as follows:
- All taxes included, taking into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order. Any change in the applicable VAT rate will be automatically passed on.
- Excluding taxes, with taxes and customs duties to be paid when placing the order.
- Excluding taxes, with taxes and customs duties payable on delivery.
There will always be a message when placing the order to inform the Buyer about any specific information relevant to their order and the applicable terms and conditions. Furthermore, prices do not include delivery charges, which are invoiced separately and stated before the order is confirmed.
The full price must be paid when the order is placed. At no time may the amounts paid be considered as deposits or advance payments.
If one or more taxes or contributions, particularly environmental taxes or contributions, were to be created or amended, resulting in either increases or decreases, this change may be reflected in the sale price of the Products.
If certain Products ordered are unavailable, only the price and transport costs relating to the Products available will be debited.
ARTICLE 10 – PAYMENT METHODS
The order is subject to payment, which means that placing the order implies payment by the Buyer.
To pay for their order, the Buyer may choose from any of the payment methods made available by the Seller. The Buyer guarantees that they have the necessary authorizations to use the chosen method of payment. The Seller reserves the right to suspend any order processing and any delivery in the event of refusal to authorize payment by bank card by the officially accredited bodies or in the event of non-payment. The Seller specifically reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honor an order from a Buyer who has not paid in full or with whom a payment dispute is ongoing.
The Seller reserves the right to cancel an order in cases of suspected fraud.
For payment by bank card, the card is not debited until the order has been dispatched. Payments made by the Buyer will not be considered final until the Seller has actually received the amounts due.
ARTICLE 11 – PRODUCT AVAILABILITY – REFUND – TERMINATION OF CONTRACT
Product offers and prices are valid for as long as they remain visible on the Site, while stocks last.
Except in cases of force majeure or during periods when the online shop is closed, which will be clearly announced on the home page of the Site, delivery times will be, while stocks last, those indicated for information purposes when placing the order. Delivery times run from the order processing date indicated on the order confirmation e-mail.

ARTICLE 12 – DELIVERY TERMS
The costs of preparation and dispatch are borne by the Seller unless the Buyer opts for one of the specific delivery methods offered at the time of placing the order, in which case the costs will be borne by the Buyer.

Delivery means the transfer of physical possession of the Product ordered to the Buyer.
The Products are delivered to the address specified by the Buyer when the order is placed, and the Buyer must ensure that this address is correct. The Buyer must check the conformity of the Products delivered upon delivery and before signing the carrier’s delivery note. This check is considered to have been carried out once the Buyer, or a person of their choice, has signed the delivery note. No claim regarding the condition of the parcel(s) delivered will then be accepted. If, upon delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or open, the Buyer must check the condition of the items. If they have been damaged, the Buyer must refuse the parcel.
If the estimated delivery time is exceeded, the order may not be canceled, the price paid by the Buyer may not be reduced and no payment may be made by way of damages.

If the address is incomplete or incorrect, the recipient refuses the parcel or there is a lack of information leading to the impossibility of delivering the Product to the recipient in good time, AMI PARIS will not be liable for the final quality of this delivery. The Customer is subject to the carrier’s general terms and conditions of delivery which, in certain cases, if not adhered to, may affect the quality of the delivery.

AMI PARIS will provide the Customer with a Product that is free from hidden defects that would make it unsuitable for its intended purpose, or which diminish this purpose to such an extent that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would only have paid a lesser price for it if they had been aware of such hidden defects.
These warranties will only apply if the Customer requests them within 24 months of delivery of the Product (in the case of the legal warranty of conformity) or discovery of the defect (in the case of the legal warranty against hidden defects).
Any lack of conformity that appears within 24 months of delivery is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery unless proven otherwise.
