The General Sales Conditions are those in force on the Site on the date of validation of the order by the Client. They are valid for the duration necessary for the supply of the goods and services subscribed to, until the extinction of their guarantees.
The Customer is responsible for the implementation of all technical means (IT and telecommunications) to enable him to access the Site.
2.4 Evidence

The Seller reserves the right to adapt or modify the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. In the event of modification of the present, each order shall be subject to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale in force on the day of the order. The Customer is invited to come and consult the Site regularly in order to be informed of any changes.
Article 3. Product and price characteristics
3.1 Consultation of product characteristics
The Seller presents on its Site the products and services as well as their detailed description so that the Customer can become acquainted with their essential characteristics before the final order is taken, this includes the copy of the labels of the Products with their legal and obligatory mentions concerning the instructions and the precautions of use which relate to them.
At the time the order is placed, the Customer acknowledges having read the special terms and conditions of sale set out on the screen (price, components, weight, quantity, product characteristics, cost of services and limitation of certain categories of products) and expressly declares that he accepts them without reservation.
For all products, and in particular for products relating to nutrition and health, the Customer determines his choice both in view of the essential characteristics of the products and taking into account his personal specificities. The Customer acknowledges and confirms that he is the sole judge of the relevance of the products in view of any personal contraindications, as well as their compatibility with any other products he may use or treatments to which he may be subject, so that the choice of products ordered is made under his sole responsibility. It is exclusively up to the Customer to be assisted by an adviser if he does not consider himself sufficiently informed.
3.2. Product availability/validity of supply
Product offers and prices on the Site are valid as long as they are visible and available. Any product temporarily unavailable is indicated as such on the Site. The simple fact of adding an item to the shopping cart does not constitute validation of the order.
The Seller ensures that it will make every effort to ensure the availability of the entire range of products and services offered. However, all or part of the quantity of a product added to the basket may no longer be available at the time of validation of the order. If this is the case, the Customer is informed directly and before any payment of the said order.
3.3. Awards
The prices displayed on the Site are determined by the Seller. They do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs are billed to the Customer in addition. They are indicated before the validation of the final order. The amount of taxes may change in case of delivery abroad: in this case, the new amount is indicated to the Customer on the order summary page.
The price indicated in the summary page of the Customer’s order is the final price. It includes
the total price of the order with the details of each product as well as the delivery costs. The products are invoiced on the basis of the rates in force at the time the order is recorded. The products remain the property of the Seller until full payment of the price.
The sale of products is subject to VAT according to the terms and conditions applicable to the transaction, which may differ depending on the place of delivery and the nature of the goods. The legal modification of the VAT rate applicable to an operation may lead to the modification of the price including VAT of the operation, and this until the validation of the order.
The validation of the order by the payment is worth acceptance of the price including all taxes of the product as well as the amount of the VAT at the rate appearing on the summary of order.
In the event of an input, printing or calculation error showing a price lower than the price normally charged by the Vendor, the lowest price shall be applied to the Customer, unless this price is manifestly derisory, i.e., bears no relation to the actual value of the product ordered.
In this hypothesis, and despite an automatic order confirmation by the Seller, the said order is cancelled. The Customer shall be informed by the Vendor as soon as possible so that he can, if he so wishes, place a new order.
