Article 5 – ORDERS


The Client declares that it has full legal capacity to accept and be bound by these General Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, at our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, credit card and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.


We will strive to ensure optimal availability of these Products. Product offers are valid within the limits of available stocks.

If we change or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address and/or billing phone number provided at the time of the order. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our opinion, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.


With the exception of any mention to the contrary in these GTCS and without prejudice to the right of withdrawal provided by the applicable law, the Client’s orders are firm and final. 

The Client undertakes to read the current General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Confirmation of the order results in acceptance of the GTCS and forms the Contract.

The contractual information relating to the order (in particular the order number) will be confirmed by email in good time and at the latest at the time of delivery. The Seller urges the Client to print and/or archive this order confirmation on a reliable and durable medium as proof. A digital invoice is made available to the Client in the "my account" area. The Seller also advises the Client to print and/or archive this invoice on a reliable and durable medium as proof.


Any email that will be sent to the Client as part of an order will be sent to the email address that the Client uses to identify himself in his Client’s account. 

The Seller shall archive the Contracts for the sale of Products in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Any modification of the order by the Client after confirmation of his order is subject to the agreement of the Seller.


The information communicated by the Client during the placing of the order (specifically your name and delivery address) binds the latter. Thus, the liability of the Seller can in no way be sought if an error at the time of placing the order would prevent or delay the delivery.

Article 6 – TERMS OF PAYMENT 


6.1. The Client expressly acknowledges that any order placed on the Site is an order with payment obligation, which requires the payment of the indicated price for the supply of the ordered Product. 

In any event, the Seller reserves the right to check the validity of the payment, prior to dispatch of the order, by all necessary means. 


6.2. ONLINE ORDERS

6.2.1. The Client places his order by Internet on the merchant site accessible from the Website www.theharmonist.uk. All the steps necessary for the sale are specified on the Website, in accordance with the provisions of article 1369-4 of the French Civil Code.


The Client shall be responsible for the costs of telecommunications when accessing the Internet and using the Website.


Before the final confirmation of his order, the Client visualizes the details and characteristics of his order: ordered Products and references, price, quantity to be delivered, date of the order, delivery costs, method of payment chosen by the customer, etc. and has the possibility to correct any errors.

From the moment the Client has validated his order, the Seller acknowledges receipt of it without delay and electronically, specifying that the acknowledgement of receipt of the order does not in any case confirm the availability of the ordered Product or Products or validate the payment of the order. The sale will not be considered final until after the confirmation of the order by the Seller has been sent to the customer, specifying the shipment of the items. Only items shipped will be charged with the shipping fee.

Any request to cancel an order must be made either on the day of the order for an order validated before 11 am, or the next day before 11 am for an order validated after 11 am.

This cancellation must be made directly with THE HARMONIST customer service by phone at +33 1 53 75 19 92 or by email at support@theharmonist.com.


The Seller undertakes to honor the orders received on his Website only, within the limits of the available stocks of the Products. In the event that the Products are not available, the Seller undertakes to inform the Client by email as soon as possible, and to cancel the order for this Product and refund the price paid.

Article 7 – PAYMENT OF PRICE


The fact of validating an order implies for the Client the obligation to pay the indicated price of the Product.

Payment for purchases is made by debit or credit card Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Carte Bleue, provided that the delivery address is located in Great Britain.


The price of the Products in force at the time of the order is indicated in British pounds sterling (£), including UK VAT, UK customs duty, other taxes applicable at the date of this legal notice. Shipping and transport costs are included for orders above 135£. Shipping costs of £10 will be stated as a separate line item and invoiced to a Client for all orders of less than £135.

For the UK, the price is payable in British pounds sterling (£) exclusively. The price is payable in full after confirmation of the order.


If applicable, delivery or transport charges are added to the price of the Products and indicated separately before the validation of the order by the Client. The total amount due by the Client and details are indicated on the order confirmation page.

After an order has been submitted, a submission page will be displayed, and the Client will shortly receive an email confirming receipt of the order. In accordance with French Law, the e-mail confirming receipt of the order contains a summary of the GTCS information on the essential characteristics of the Products purchased, a detailed indication of the price and means of payment, information on delivery costs.


These communications, purchase orders and invoices may be produced as proof of Contract. Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded by the Seller on the Internet or by telephone shall constitute proof of all transactions between the Seller and its Clients.

Article 8 – FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT


The Contract between the Seller and the Client is formed when the Client sends the confirmation of his order.

The archiving of communications, purchase orders and invoices is ensured by the Seller on a reliable and durable medium in order to constitute a faithful and durable copy.

Article 9 – TRANSFER OF RISKS - RETENTION OF TITLE OF OWNERSHIP

Risk of loss or damage to Products is transferred when the Products are delivered to the Client (DAP as stated above).


The Seller shall remain the exclusive owner of the Products ordered on the Site until full payment is received, including any shipping costs.

Article 10 – SHIPPING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT OF TAXES
Delivery is the transfer to the Client of physical possession or control of the Product.

The shipping costs are those specified when the order is finalized and are accepted by the validation of the order.
The Seller undertakes to ship the Products in accordance with the deadlines announced on each Product sheet and at the level of the basket, provided that the payment of the order has not been previously refused.

Products are shipped DAP (Delivered at Place).

French and UK customs declarations are handled by THE HARMONIST, and no customs taxes are currently applicable.

However, if one or more Products cannot be delivered within the initially announced deadline, the Seller will send an email indicating to the Client the new delivery date.

The Products will be delivered to the address indicated by the Client when ordering. It is therefore up to the Client to check that this address does not contain any errors. The Seller may not be held liable if the address communicated by the Client is erroneous, thus preventing or delaying delivery. 

Upon delivery, the Client may be asked to sign a receipt voucher.

If the Products are delivered to the Client in a damaged state, or if Products are missing from the order delivered to the Client, the Client should immediately inform THE HARMONIST at the following address: support@theharmonist.com, enclosing the order number and one or more photos of the damaged Products.

 
Article 11 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

If a delivered Product does not fully satisfy the Client, the latter may return it to the Seller. The Client will have 14 days to do so from the date of confirmation of the order as sent by the Client.

The returned Product must be in its original packaging, unopened, in perfect condition, suitable for resale, unused, unaltered, and with all possible accessories. Samples cannot be returned.
In addition to the returned Product, the return package must also contain the original shipping documents with the contact details (surname, first name, address) and the original purchase invoice.

The return costs shall be borne by The Harmonist. 
Please send an email to support@theharmonist.com with all return requests to receive the shipping documents to print and stick on the parcel.
We cannot accept returns and exchanges of THE HARMONIST Products purchased from our authorized retailers. 

The Seller shall reimburse the Client for the amount of the Product within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the returned Product and all elements enabling the Client’s refund to be implemented.

This refund may be made by the same means of payment as that employed for the Client. As such, the Client having paid his order in the form of credit notes/gift vouchers may be refunded by credit notes/gift vouchers according to the will of the Seller. 


By accepting these GTCS, the Customer expressly acknowledges having been informed of the terms of withdrawal.

We may interrupt some or all of our Services at any time and events beyond our control may affect our Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation of liability for damages, if a court of competent jurisdiction decides to award you pecuniary damages for any claim or cause of action arising out of such damages, the amount of interest on such claim or cause of action is limited to the greater of 100 euros or the amount you have spent on the THE HARMONIST Website.


The laws of Great Britain may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the exclusions and limitations set out above may not apply to you. 

Notwithstanding any provision contrary to our terms, in such cases, THE HARMONIST’s liability will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.
