PREAMBLE

VAPEVO is an online store selling vaping products.

The terms below will have, when their first letter appears in capitals, the following meaning:

- "VAPEVO" means the VAPEVO company referred to at the top of the GCS;

- “GTC” means these general terms and conditions of sale;

- "Customer" means the professional customer of the production or manufacture or distribution of vaping products wishing to purchase one or more Product(s). If it is a natural person, he must be at least 18 years old and be fully capable;

- “Product” means any product presented for sale on the Website;

- “Website” means the vapevo.com website

The purchase, from VAPEVO, of Products available on the Website can only be made online and after connection to a customer account previously created on the Website by the Customer.

 

 

ARTICLE 1 - APPLICATION OF THE T&Cs

The GCS apply to relations between VAPEVO and the Customer for and following the placing of an order for Product(s).

Placing an order for Product(s) implies the Customer's full and unreserved acceptance of the T&Cs. Any contrary and/or specific unilateral condition emanating from the Customer will therefore, in the absence of formal and written acceptance by VAPEVO, be unenforceable against VAPEVO regardless of when it may have been brought to its attention.

The fact that VAPEVO does not avail itself, at a given time, of any of the provisions of the GCS cannot be interpreted as a waiver to subsequently avail itself of any of the provisions of the GCS.

 

 

ARTICLE 2 – CREATION OF THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

Obtaining a customer account is subject to the Customer's acceptance by VAPEVO, after reviewing the information provided by the Customer during the following two customer account creation phases:

1. First phase of creating a customer account: the Customer must truthfully fill in the information specific to him (name, addresses, contact details, etc.) to complete the registration request form available in the “Connection” tab. VAPEVO reserves the right to refuse the creation of a customer account, without having to justify it (a refusal may for example be opposed in the event of contact details presenting doubts about their veracity);
2. Once the customer account has been obtained, the Customer undertakes to use the connection data for the created customer account which will have been provided to him by VAPEVO to place any order for Product(s). The Customer undertakes not to communicate these connection data to third parties.

VAPEVO may deactivate a validated customer account, even after the Customer has placed one or more Product(s) order(s), without having to justify himself (for example, if the Customer has not used his account for at least three months and he has never placed an order since the creation of his account)

However, VAPEVO undertakes to notify the Customer beforehand within a reasonable time, and to deliver to the Customer all firm orders placed on the date of deactivation of the customer account. On the other hand, no notice will be necessary before the deactivation of the account, if this occurs due to a fault of the Customer (eg: unpaid order(s), erroneous or incomplete information provided by the Customer, behavior of the Customer damaging the brand image of VAPEVO and/or one (or more) Product(s), etc.).

 

 

ARTICLE 3 ORDERING PRODUCT(S)

For each Product, a description is available online, on the page of the Product concerned, containing the main characteristics of the Product.

To be valid, any order for Product(s) must be made on the Website and must be placed by a Customer.

Any order is deemed firm and final upon validation by the Customer and acceptance of the GCS by the Customer.

Receipt of the Product(s) order is confirmed by VAPEVO by e-mail sent to the e-mail address provided by the Customer in the registration request form (or later, if the Customer has made a modification notified in writing to VAPEVO).

The confirmation e-mail sent by VAPEVO will specify the expected delivery date (as an indication) as well as the information (product type, quantity, payment method selected) and order references (order references which must be recalled by the Customer in any exchange he would have with VAPEVO relating to this order). The Customer undertakes to verify the accuracy of this information and must inform VAPEVO of any inaccuracies before the order is sent by VAPEVO.

VAPEVO reserves the right to cancel any order of Product(s) whose identification information provided presents doubts about their sincerity, after notifying the Customer.

 

 

ARTICLE 4 - MODIFICATION OF THE ORDER

Any request for modification of a Product(s) order by the Customer must be sent by e-mail to VAPEVO within three days from the date of receipt of the Customer's order by VAPEVO, and in all case before the shipment of the Products by VAPEVO.

VAPEVO reserves the right to accept or refuse any changes requested by the Customer.

Any modification made to an order of Product(s), at the request of the Customer and accepted by VAPEVO, automatically entails the cancellation of the conditions previously accepted by the Customer (with regard to prices, deadlines, payment terms and terms of delivery); the new conditions will however be brought to the attention of the Customer before he validates the modified order.

In case of evolution of a Product, favorable to the Customer in terms of quality or quantity (for example, rupture of a Product sold in batches of 10 and replacement by the same Product sold in batches of 12 at the same price) between the date of placing the order and the date of delivery of the order, VAPEVO reserves the right to modify the Customer's order without informing him in advance. This modification of a Product(s) order decided by VAPEVO does not entail an obligation for VAPEVO to modify another order (past, current or future) in the same way.

 

 

ARTICLE 5 - DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

The shipment of the Products ordered will be made only after full payment of the amount of the order by the Customer. VAPEVO may also suspend shipment upon payment of previous invoices due and unpaid by the Customer, in whole or in part, and more generally upon payment of any amount owed by the Customer to VAPEVO.

5.1 Delivery time of the Products
The delivery time of an order of Product(s) is considered as the moment which separates the date of validation of the order by VAPEVO, on the one hand, from the provision of the order to the delivery address indicated by the Customer, on the other hand.
Deliveries are made only according to availability and in the order of arrival of orders.
VAPEVO may freely make deliveries in whole or in part, without additional cost or compensation for the Customer.
The delivery times announced when ordering are given for information only. In particular, in the case of a shortage of stock or a difficult replenishment, it is possible that the delivery times announced when ordering are exceeded. However, beyond thirty additional days in relation to the indicative delivery date announced when ordering the Product(s), the Customer may request the cancellation of his order and the full refund of the sums already paid, without further compensation. .
The Customer will receive an e-mail from the delivery person, containing the (indicative) delivery information.

5.2 Transfer of risk
The Products are sold carriage paid.
From the moment of their shipment by VAPEVO, the risks weighing on the Products are transferred from VAPEVO to the Customer, whether the order of Products is transported to the Customer via a third-party carrier or directly by VAPEVO.
The Products therefore travel at the Customer's risk and peril, to whom it belongs, in the event of damage or missing Product, to make all necessary findings and to confirm its reasoned reservations by extrajudicial act or by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the carrier within the three (3) calendar days (excluding public holidays) following receipt of the Products, whether the transport was carried out by VAPEVO or by a third-party carrier. In the latter case, the Customer will send a copy of his complaint to VAPEVO for information, in the same forms and deadlines.
