For Orders placed by telephone, OUIKEEP will inform the Customer whether the desired Products are still available.

VII. Modification and cancellation of the Order

All Orders are firm and final.

Any modification to an Order will require the prior written agreement of the Parties and will be subject to the payment of additional sums in the event of new Products being added and/or changes to delivery costs.

OUIKEEP reserves the right to refuse an Order if payment fraud is suspected or if there is an outstanding balance on a previous Order.

The delivery options for non-bulky Products are as follows:

- Collection from the shop at 2 Boulevard Thomson prolongé, LESQUIN (59810) (France);

- Delivery to a collection point;

- Home delivery.

When the Products ordered by the Customer are very bulky, delivery is made to a store or to the Customer's home address.

OUIKEEP will inform the Customer of the delivery options available before the Order is finalised.

The Products are delivered to the address or collection point specified during the ordering process.

The Customer shall ensure that the address provided is accurate and complete.

OUIKEEP cannot be held responsible for any address errors attributable to the Customer.

When delivery takes place outside the European Union, customs duties shall be borne by the Customer.

2. Delivery charges

The amount of the delivery charges is indicated to the Customer once their personal information and address have been completed, and varies according to the weight of the Order and the place of delivery.

3. Delivery time

The delivery time for an Order includes the preparation time, which consists of verifying the information entered by the Customer, preparing the Order and handing over the Product(s) to the carrier.

Orders are prepared within 12 to 72 hours (excluding orders placed on weekends and public holidays) from the time OUIKEEP receives payment from the Customer.

The delivery time is then that of the carrier selected by the Customer.

The status of the Order can be viewed in the ‘My Account’ section, which will be updated automatically a few minutes after the Order has been confirmed on the Website.

If the Customer has not wished to create a Customer account, an order tracking link will be sent to the email address they have provided.

4. Delivery anomalies

If the Customer notices a delivery anomaly (delay, change of collection point, loss of tracking, etc.), OUIKEEP customer service is available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (excluding public holidays) to identify the problem and offer a solution within five (5) days at the latest.

In the event of proven loss of the Order, either the Order will be reshipped or a refund will be issued, at the Customer's discretion, within a maximum of fourteen (14) days from the date on which OUIKEEP actually confirms its loss. In the event of a significant delay in the preparation and dispatch of the Order, the Customer may cancel it by writing to OUIKEEP on a durable medium (e-mail) or directly online in the ‘order tracking’ section of the customer account.

Upon receipt of this information, the contract will be cancelled (unless the order has already been shipped) and the Customer will be refunded the full amount paid.

Exceeding the delivery time shall not give rise to any damages.

5. Checking the Order

Regardless of the delivery method of the Order, the Customer is required to check the condition of the packaging and the contents of the Order (damage, missing items, damaged package, broken items).

• if the Order is delivered by hand, the Customer is invited to make a written note of their reservations directly to the carrier or collection point and, if necessary, to refuse the Order;

• If the Order is not delivered by hand, the Customer is invited to send their reservations to OUIKEEP by email, no later than three (3) working days after receipt of the Order.

After this period, the Order will be deemed complete and the Products will be deemed free of any apparent defects. Consequently, OUIKEEP will no longer accept any claims for damage, missing products, damaged packages or broken parts upon receipt.

These provisions do not prevent the consumer from invoking the guarantee of conformity and hidden defects for malfunctions that become apparent during use and that the Customer could not detect upon delivery.

6. Transfer of risks

The hand delivery of the Order, or the carrier's confirmation of the deposit of the Order at the agreed delivery point, constitutes a transfer of risks to the Customer, who assumes all loss, damage, theft or any damage that may affect the Products.

With regard to deliveries to a location outside mainland France and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the latter agree that transport and the transfer of risks shall be governed in accordance with the EXW Incoterm (Incoterms 2020 ICC).

- The application of late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank's refinancing rate plus 10 (ten) points, without prior notice and from the first day of delay;

The termination shall apply not only to the Order in question but also to all previous unpaid Orders, whether delivered or in the process of being delivered and whether or not their payment is due.
