ARTICLE 4 – PRODUCTS
4.1 Product information
Information about the Products sold via the Site is available, with their references, on the Site. The Buyer acknowledges that, prior to placing any Order on the Site, he/she has been informed of the essential characteristics of the Product (in particular its nature, function, composition, materials, color, dimensions and precautions for use and care) as well as the price of the Products and any additional costs, in particular delivery costs, to be borne by the Buyer.
It is the Buyer's responsibility to check the list of materials making up the Products on the product data sheet, and to find out about any allergies before placing an Order.
Despite all the care taken by the Seller in the presentation of its Products on the Site, the Seller cannot guarantee that their actual appearance corresponds exactly to their appearance on the screen. In particular, slight variations (especially in hue) may occur, notably due to the technical limitations of color rendering on computer equipment. The Seller cannot be held responsible for such variations and they do not affect the validity of the sale.
It is also the Buyer's responsibility to comply with the conditions of use and care of the Products listed on the Product sheets, in accordance with the Seller's instructions and recommendations.
For any questions relating to the Products and their use, any additional questions or requests for advice, the Buyer may contact Customer Service.
4.2 Product availability
The Seller reserves the right to modify the assortment of Products offered for sale on its Site at any time, depending in particular on the constraints of its suppliers.
Products are offered for sale as long as they are visible on the Site on the day of consultation by the Buyer, and as long as they include an "Add to cart" button.
The product sheet informs the Buyer when the Product in question is no longer in stock or requires a longer delivery time. In such cases, the "Add to cart" function will be deactivated for unavailable Products, and the words "Out of Stock - Notify Me" or "Voorbestelling" will appear below these Products.
In the event that a Product ordered is unavailable after the Order has been placed, Customer Service will contact the Buyer to inform him/her of this unavailability, of the new estimated delivery time and of the Buyer's right to cancel his/her Order. In the event of an Order cancellation request, the Seller will refund the full price of the Order as soon as possible, and at the latest within fourteen (14) days of the Order cancellation.

The Seller reserves the right to cancel an Order for a Product affected by an obvious pricing error. If the Order has been paid for, the Buyer will be immediately reimbursed for the amount paid.

ARTICLE 6 – HOW TO ORDER
6.1 General information
Any User of the Site may view the Products without obligation to purchase.
All Users and Buyers are responsible for their own telecommunication costs related to Internet access.
6.2 Steps in the ordering process
6.2.1 Buyer identification
It is not compulsory to open a personal customer account to place an Order on the Site. The Purchaser may place an Order for one or more Products, either via his/her customer account, or as a guest.
If the Purchaser does not have a customer account, he/she will be invited, if he/she so wishes, to create one, indicating his/her exact identity, contact details, as well as a valid e-mail address and password. Once the Purchaser has registered his/her account on the Site, he/she will receive a confirmation e-mail enabling him/her to access his/her account.
If the Buyer already has a customer account on the Site, he/she will be asked to identify him/herself with his/her email address and password.
Login details and passwords are strictly personal. Each Buyer undertakes to keep them securely and not to communicate them to third parties. In the event of loss, theft or any other fraudulent use of his customer account, the Buyer undertakes to inform the Seller immediately. Furthermore, should the Seller have reason to suspect that a third party has tampered with a Buyer's account, password and/or login, the Seller reserves the right to immediately terminate the account concerned and will inform the Buyer by email or telephone.
In the event of modification of the information communicated for the creation of his account, the Buyer will have to update it directly on the Site.
E-mails are sent to the e-mail address provided by the Buyer. The Seller may not be held liable in the event of a typing error or non-receipt of the message confirming shipment or availability of the Order.
6.2.2 Product(s) selection
To place an Order, the Buyer may select one or more Products of his/her choice from the various categories offered (e.g. type, model, color, size, material) and available for sale on the Site on the day of consultation.
The Buyer can add the selected Product to his/her cart by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button on the Product page. The cart, located in the top right-hand corner of the screen, informs the Buyer that the selections have been taken into account by indicating the number of products it contains.
As long as the Order has not been definitively validated, the Buyer can consult and access his cart at any time, modify it and correct any errors in the elements entered. The shopping cart does not in itself constitute an Order that is binding on the Seller . At this stage of the Ordering process, the total amount of the Order, including VAT, contains only the price due for the Products selected, excluding delivery costs.
The Buyer acknowledges that in the event of prolonged inactivity during connection, it is possible that the selection of Products chosen prior to this inactivity may no longer be guaranteed.
6.2.3 Order validation
Once the Purchaser has finished selecting the Product(s) he/she wishes to purchase, he/she must click on the "Order" button. The Buyer will then receive a summary of the Order, indicating the total price of the Order in euros, including the unit cost of the Product(s) and delivery charges where applicable.
If he/she is satisfied with the Order summary, the Purchaser must then complete the following information (or confirm it if it is pre-filled in the case of a customer account):
- their contact details (surname, first name, telephone number, e-mail address) ;
- their choice of delivery method, with delivery costs varying according to delivery method and delivery location;
- the delivery address (which must be within the Territory defined in article 1 of the GTCS);
- the billing address, if different from the delivery address;
- the selected payment method.
The Buyer guarantees and is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.
The Buyer may modify his/her Order and rectify any errors at any time prior to payment of the Order.
6.2.4 Payment
Before definitively validating the Order, the Buyer must accept the GTCS in force on the Site and then click on the "Continue to payment" button.
Unless specific conditions apply depending on the country of destination, payment is made exclusively in euros, at the Purchaser's discretion:
- by credit card (by choosing payment by credit card - CB, Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard network, the Buyer is automatically redirected to the dedicated secure payment site),
- or via their Paypal account,
- or via your Klarna account.
If the payment is accepted, the Buyer will automatically see the Order validation page appear on the Site. If payment is not accepted after five (5) attempts, the Buyer will be redirected to a screen on the Site indicating that payment has been refused using the payment method in question.
Unless otherwise specified, payment is made in full and in a single installment at the end of the Order process.
The Buyer's account will be debited upon confirmation of the Order by the Seller.
The Buyer may not cancel the Order once it has been validated and paid for.
In the event of payment by bank card, the Buyer guarantees the Seller that he/she is the holder of the bank card used to pay for the Order, and that the first and last names appearing on the bank card to be debited are his/her own. In a secure environment on the Internet, the Purchaser communicates the number and expiry date appearing on the front of his/her bank card, as well as the visual cryptogram numbers appearing on the back of his/her bank card. This data is automatically transmitted in encrypted mode for verification to prevent misuse and fraud.
However, at the time of each transaction, the Seller carries out an analysis of the transaction in order to limit the risk of fraudulent behaviour. In the event of an alert, certain orders may be blocked. In this respect, the Vendor reserves the right to ask the Buyer to send proof of identity.
If the Vendor is unable to verify this, the Buyer or the Vendor may cancel the Order.
The Vendor shall not be held liable for any refusal to process an Order that has been blocked due to suspected fraud.
Furthermore, in the event that, for any reason whatsoever (opposition, refusal by the issuing centre, etc.), it proves impossible to debit the sums owed by the Buyer, the Order shall be cancelled immediately.
6.2.5 Order confirmation by the Seller
Once the Buyer has validated his/her Order, the Seller will immediately acknowledge receipt by e-mail to the Buyer.
Once payment has been confirmed and duly made by the Buyer, an Order and payment confirmation will be sent to the Buyer by e-mail. This confirmation of Order and payment will be accompanied by the Order number, the total amount of the Order, details of the Products ordered (nature, quantity and unit price), information relating to the cost and estimated delivery time.
The invoice is available on request from the Buyer to Customer Service.
It is agreed between the Seller and the Buyer that emails will be considered as proof between the parties, as will the automatic recording systems used on the Site, in particular as regards the nature and date of the Order.
The Seller recommends that the Buyer keep the confirmation of Order and payment received on paper or in electronic form.
The Buyer is informed that the emails corresponding to the Order confirmation and the payment confirmation are sent to the email address given by the Buyer at the time of the Order. The Seller shall not be held liable in the event of an error in entering the e-mail address concerned. Should the Buyer fail to receive such emails, he/she is advised to check that they are not in the spam folder.
When an Order is for an amount equal to or greater than one hundred and twenty (120) euros, the Seller shall retain the elements relating to any Order for a period of ten (10) years from the date of delivery. The Seller will make these elements available to the Buyer upon request to Customer Service at contact@polene-paris.com.
6.3 Refusal of orders
The Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any Order in the event of a legitimate reason, in particular in the event of :
- Unavailability of the Product ordered.
- Orders of an abnormal nature, notably in the case of a quantity of Products and/or an amount to be paid exceeding the usual or normal average needs of a consumer or a household, in the case of an abnormal flow of Orders to the same invoicing and/or delivery address, or in general, in the case of an Order which would suggest that an economic activity is being carried out by the Buyer in relation to the Products ordered.
- Default of payment or payment incident by the Buyer, including for previous Orders.
- Bad faith on the part of the Buyer (e.g. fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the Site, existing dispute with this Buyer, suspicious bank details).
6.4 Pre-orders
Certain Products, specially indicated on the Site, may be offered for "Voorbestelling".
It is possible to include both pre-order and in-stock Products in the same selection.
Subject to the conditions mentioned on the Products available for pre-order page (delivery times and terms), pre-orders will be subject to the same processes and conditions as those for an Order.
Due to unforeseen circumstances in the production of the Products, the Seller may be obliged in certain cases to cancel all or part of the Buyer's pre-order. In such cases, the Seller will inform the Buyer without delay.

Delivery charges include the processing, packaging, shipping, delivery and tracking of the Order.
7.4 Delivery time
The estimated delivery time appears on the product sheet at the time of purchase and in the Order confirmation email. This is an indicative time corresponding to the average delivery time, which may vary depending on the delivery location and/or delivery method.
Where applicable, the Seller will inform the Buyer by e-mail of any difficulties encountered which may disrupt or delay delivery, and will inform the Buyer of the foreseeable new delivery time.
In the absence of a delivery date indicated by the Seller , delivery shall in any event be made within thirty (30) days of the Order, subject to full payment of the price by the Purchaser.

In the event of absence, the Buyer may choose a new delivery date, or to have the parcel made available at a nearby post office.
When an international delivery (particularly to a country with customs duties) is refused by the Buyer to the carrier, for any reason whatsoever, the Seller reserves the right to invoice the Buyer for the cost of the return shipment, as well as customs duties (for the return of the Product to its country of origin). The amount of these costs will be directly deducted from the Order refund.
ARTICLE 8 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND PRODUCT RETURNS
8.1 Exercise of the right of commercial return voluntarily implemented by the Seller
In addition to the legal exercise of the right of withdrawal set out below, the Buyer may take advantage of the internal returns policy offered by the Seller to return a Product.
The Buyer has a period of fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Products to exercise his/her right of commercial return using a pre-paid returns label. The conditions for exercising this right are available at the following link: https://support.polene-paris.com/hc/en-150/articles/360010208559-Return-an-online-order. The Buyer must select the NL-EUR Website to access the link through which it can submit its return request.
The initial shipping costs will remain the responsibility of the Buyer.
8.2 Right of withdrawal
8.2.1 Exercising the right of withdrawal
As an alternative to the commercial guarantee offered by the Seller, the Buyer benefits from a right of withdrawal on Products purchased, except for the following Products:
- Products made to the Buyer's specifications or clearly personalized;
- Products unsealed by the Buyer after delivery and which cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection.
The Buyer has a period of fourteen (14) days from the day following receipt of the Products to exercise his right of withdrawal, without having to give reasons for his decision. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day. After this period of fourteen (14) days, the sale is firm and final.
If the Buyer has ordered several Products in a single Order, or if the delivery has been made in several parts, the withdrawal period only begins to run when the Buyer takes possession of the last Product or the last part of the delivery.
The Buyer must notify his decision to withdraw to Customer Services, by email to contact@polene-paris.com, before the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period expires:
- by sending the withdrawal form at the end of these GTS,
- or by any other unambiguous statement clearly expressing its wish to withdraw.
The simple return of Products by the Buyer or the refusal to accept delivery, without prior notification of his decision to withdraw, is not sufficient to express the Buyer's wish to withdraw.
8.2.2 Returns under the right of withdrawal
In order to return a Product, the Buyer must create a customer account on the Site.
The Buyer must return the Product to the Vendor no later than fourteen (14) days following communication of his/her decision to cancel. The Buyer is advised to keep all proof of this return.
The return is free of charge for the Buyer only for deliveries in metropolitan France. In this case, the Vendor will issue a returns form to the Buyer by email, to be printed and stuck to the parcel. The postal address to which the Product must be returned is indicated on the return form provided by the Vendor.
In any event, the Buyer undertakes to return Products :
- eligible for the right of withdrawal, in accordance with article 8.1 of the GTCS,
- in their original packaging, so that the Product is protected,
- in perfect original condition, with no defects (dirt, deterioration, scratches),
- complete and accompanied by all Product accessories (e.g. second removable shoulder strap) and supplied documents (e.g. box containing the Product, pouch, booklet, instructions),
- unused, unworn,
- unsealed, if applicable,
- accompanied by the corresponding return slip.
Upon receipt, the Vendor will check whether the returned Product meets the aforementioned conditions. Failing this, the returned Product will not be reimbursed and may be returned to the Buyer, on request, subject to the latter paying the shipping costs.
8.2.3 Refund
If the return is validated by the Vendor, the latter will reimburse the Buyer for the price of the Product concerned :
- at the latest within fourteen (14) days from the date on which the Vendor is informed of the Buyer's decision to withdraw, provided that the Buyer has received the Product concerned within this period,
- by the same means of payment used by the Buyer to place the Order, unless the Buyer expressly agrees otherwise, and in any event at no additional cost.
The Vendor will also refund the initial delivery costs of the Product, however :
- If the Buyer has expressly chosen a more expensive delivery method than the standard one offered, these additional costs will not be reimbursed to the Buyer.
- If the Buyer decides to return part of the Products ordered, the initial delivery charges will not be reimbursed, since the amount of the delivery charges is fixed and does not depend on the number of Products ordered.
The returned Product cannot be exchanged under any circumstances. The Buyer must place a new Order.
ARTICLE 9 – DEFECTS ON DELIVERY
The present article applies without prejudice to the implementation of the legal guarantees referred to in article 10 of the GTCS.
9.1 Claims
The Buyer is invited to check the apparent condition of the parcel and the Products upon delivery, and to report any anomaly noted on the parcel and/or the Products to Customer Services as soon as possible after receipt of the Order, by e-mail to: contact@polene-paris.com, indicating the Order number and sending any proof of the anomaly (e.g. photographs).
