FORMATION OF CONTRACTS OF SALE

The confirmation and sending of an order by the Customer (“Customer” here means any user of the www.corinneatelier.ro/en/ website who accesses the e-commerce check-out), in accordance with the instructions appearing from time to time on the web pages, shall be taken as meaning that the Customer has seen and fully accepts the general conditions of sale. The contract of sale between Corinne Atelier SRL and the Customer shall become binding as soon as the order is accepted by Corinne Atelier SRL.

Once the online purchase procedure has been completed, the Customer shall arrange to print or save an electronic copy of, and in any event to retain, these general conditions of sale, in accordance with the provisions concerning distance sales of Legislative Decree no. 449/2003 from 12 of December 2013. 

The Customer warrants that he is purchasing the Products for his personal use and not for the purpose of trading in them; in particular the Customer undertakes not to offer the Products for sale or display or sell or otherwise market the Products on websites or by means of so-called e-commerce.

The Customer shall in no circumstances be entitled to damages or compensation in respect of any loss or liability, whether under a contract or otherwise, arising out of the non-acceptance of an order, in whole or in part.

 

PROCEDURE FOR PURCHASE

The Customer may only purchase products shown in the online catalogue at the time the order is placed and displayed online at the www.corinneatelier.ro/en/ web address, as described on the relevant web pages. The order shall be treated as validly processed as soon as a notice is received in the Customer’s electronic inbox confirming authorization of payment of the purchase price and transport and delivery costs by the Customer’s credit card, as more particularly provided in article 5 below.

The image shown on the web page relating to a product may not be an exact representation of its specifications but may differ in color, in size, and in the accessories shown in the picture. Any supporting information for purchasers (glossary, purchasers’ guide etc.) is understood to be given only by way of general guidance, and does not relate to the actual specifications of any individual product.

Due receipt of an order shall be confirmed by Corinne Atelier SRL by means of an email response, sent to the email address supplied by the Customer. This confirmation message shall specify the date and time the order was received and a customer order number to be used in all future correspondence with Corinne Atelier SRL. The message must set out all data input by the Customer, all information concerning the basic specifications of the goods sold, the price shown, payment methods, means and cost of delivery and tax payable. The Customer must check the accuracy of this information and give timely notice of any corrections, in accordance with the procedures set out in this document.

If an order is declined, Corinne Atelier SRL shall give timely notice of this to the Customer.

 

PRICES

The products are sold at the prices shown in the online product list at the time that the Customer confirms the order. Before the Customer confirms the order by clicking on the appropriate button, a web page will appear listing the prices of the items in the basket, the taxes and delivery charges. This data will then be automatically reproduced on the order form which the Customer sends to Corinne Atelier SRL following confirmation of the order.

 

ACCOUNTING DOCUMENTS AND MEANS OF DELIVERY

For every order accepted and fulfilled, Corinne Atelier shall issue a VAT receipt (or invoice, if the Customer is not a consumer and has supplied his own VAT number in the order) in respect of the items dispatched, and send it by email or delivered all-together with the ordered products to the person who has placed the order. 

For the purpose of issuing the VAT receipt (and/or invoice) Corinne Atelier SRL is entitled to rely on the information supplied by the Customer while placing the order. No variation of the receipt or invoice may be made after it has been issued.

Corinne Atelier SRL makes use of specialist transport companies to dispatch and deliver the goods.

As soon as the package has been taken out of our warehouses by the transport company, an email confirming dispatch shall be sent to the Customer.

To ascertain the cost and time of delivery, please press the “click here” button in the appropriate place on the order page. In calculating delivery dates, it is necessary to exclude non-working days (Saturday, Sunday, public holidays and the day before a public holiday).

If at the planned time of delivery the addressee is not at the address given, the transport company will contact him to arrange delivery. In addition, you may contact customer support at [email protected] to obtain information about any package that has not been delivered within the arranged time, giving the order number, name, address and town of delivery. You should also contact customer support at [email protected] if the goods cannot be delivered because the addressee cannot be found. If you do not do this, you should appreciate that, should it continue to be impossible to find the addressee or should there be repeated unsuccessful attempts at delivery, additional charges may apply.

Upon delivery of the goods by the carrier, you must check that the packaging is complete and undamaged. Any damage found must immediately be reported to the carrier making the delivery, and the Customer may refuse to accept the delivery, giving the reason. The Customer must then contact Corinne Atelier SRL  at [email protected] and give the reasons for refusing delivery.

If the packaging has been damaged in the course of transport but delivery has nevertheless been accepted, Corinne Atelier SRL accepts no liability for losses subsequently claimed by the Customer, given that delivery of the order was accepted in full.

The delivery times shown on the Site are given by way of indication only. No compensation may be claimed from Corinne Atelier SRL for any loss arising from delay or from the interruption or suspension of deliveries in whole or part not attributable to any act or omission of Corinne Atelier SRL. The same rule applies in the event of delays, interruptions or suspensions arising from causes such as work stoppages, industrial action, delays by suppliers, power cuts, suspension of transport etc.

All delivery costs are chargeable to the Customer and are clearly shown in the course of the order being placed.

 

PAYMENT METHODS

The Customer may pay by credit card or bank transfer. When the order is placed by the Customer, the bank in question will authorise the payment of the order price through the Customer’s credit card. If the Customer decides to return the goods in accordance with Article 6 below, Corinne Atelier SRL shall refund the amount previously debited (excluding any additional costs arising from the Customer’s choice of a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard method offered by us).

At no point during the purchase process will Corinne Atelier SRL be in a position to know the Customer’s credit card details, as these are sent by a protected connection directly to the bank concerned, and no electronic databank of Corinne Atelier SRL  will store any such data.

 

RIGHT OF RETURN

In accordance with article 1, item 9 from the Government Ordnance no 34 from 12th of June 2014 if the Customer is a consumer (that is, an individual acting for purposes unconnected to any business, commercial, craft or professional activity which he may carry on) he has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason, without the need to give an explanation and without any penalty, within 14 days of receiving the purchased product. Nonetheless we don’t impose a return time limit.

To exercise this right, the Customer must send Corinne Atelier SRL explicit written notice to this effect by email to [email protected]

On receiving this withdrawal notice, the customer service department of Corinne Atelier SRL will promptly give the Customer instructions on how to return the goods. The consumer must then return the Product(s) or deliver them to the seller or a third party authorized by the seller to receive them, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days of the date on which he notified the Seller of his wish to withdraw from the contract.

The direct costs of delivery connected with the return of the Product shall be borne by Corinne Atelier.

The purchased Product must be returned in full and in its original state, with all accessories and any spare parts.

The Customer may handle the Product to verify its nature, specifications and working, but is liable for any loss in value of the Product arising from any handling other than that necessary for this purpose.

If the Customer withdraws from this contract, he shall be reimbursed for all payments made to the Seller, including delivery costs (excluding any additional costs arising from the Customer’s choice of a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard method offered by us). This payment shall be made as soon as the Product is redelivered, or as soon as the Customer has provided proof of re-dispatch of the Product, whichever happens first. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the same means of payment as was used for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Customer; in any event the Customer must not incur any cost as a result of this reimbursement.
