Any order not corresponding to a retail sale and, more generally, any fraudulent order may be refused by BLUMKINE. BLUMKINE therefore reserves the right to limit the quantities of an item delivered to the same consumer or to the same postal address.

Regarding telephone sales, the customer is invited to consult and download the terms and conditions available on the site before confirming his order.
With regard to sales on the site, by checking a box provided for this purpose, the customer acknowledges having read the terms and conditions before placing the order and having accepted them without reservation. The GTC can be stored by anyone visiting the site, by means of a download and can be printed.
BLUMKINE reserves the right to modify the GTC at any time. Nevertheless, the terms and conditions applicable to the order are those accepted by the customer at the time of placing the order.
The terms and conditions are supplemented by the rules for the use of cookies and the policy for the protection of personal data available and downloadable on the site.
Article 2: Article information
Information about BLUMKINE products is available, with their references, in all BLUMKINE stores, as well as on the website.

BLUMKINE cannot be held responsible for any non-substantive errors that may occur.
BLUMKINE reserves the right to remove items from sale at any time. In case of unavailability of any of the items, the customer will be informed as soon as possible by the customer service. In case of unavailability of one or more items, the customer will be refunded by credit card and can proceed to a new order.
Article 3: Orders
Any order implies acceptance of the GTC and the data processing policy unless specific contractual terms are agreed between the parties.
3.1 telephone orders
Orders will be received, in French or English, by the sales advisors of the BLUMKINE shop on +33 (0)9 51 09 49 96 (price of a local call from metropolitan France), from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 pm to 7 pm, except holidays.
The customer is invited to read the price of the articles on the site and to read the terms and conditions also available and downloadable on the site before validating his order by phone.

3.2 orders on site
Orders can be placed on the site. The customer assumes the telecommunications costs when accessing the Internet and using the site. All necessary steps for sale are specified on the site. The customer, before finalizing his order, takes note of the terms and conditions, checks the details and the total price of his order, corrects any errors, before confirming his final agreement on the payment of the order.
The customer’s attention is drawn to the fact that the validation of an order implies the obligation to pay the agreed price and that once the order is validated, the customer can no longer cancel his order, subject to the exercise of his right of withdrawal (see Article 7 below).
To permanently validate an order, click on the "Pay" button. From the moment the customer has validated the order, BLUMKINE acknowledges receipt without delay and electronically. BLUMKINE recommends that its customers keep these e-mails on paper or on a computer. In case of non-receipt of these e-mails, it is recommended that the customer check if they have not arrived in the spam box. The customer is informed that the e-mails are sent to the e-mail address they have entered. Therefore, if there is an error in entering the e-mail address concerned, or if the message confirming the sending or supply of the order is not received, BLUMKINE cannot be held liable (unless the confirmation message is received as a result of a BLUMKINE fault). In this case, the sale will be considered final. The customer may nevertheless exercise his right of withdrawal under the conditions set out in Article 7 of the GTCS.
3.3 ordering items without creating an account on the site
If the customer does not request backup of the data needed to execute the order, he does not create an account on the site. An invoice in electronic format will be sent to him by email during the shipment of the order.
3.4 refusal, suspension or cancellation of orders
BLUMKINE reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order including the number of items or the amount to be paid (for one or more cumulative orders) would not correspond to the average usual use of a household and to any order which would imply that an economic activity is carried out by the customer in connection with the ordered items or more generally, any abnormal order. Finally, BLUMKINE reserves the right to suspend or cancel any execution of an order and/or delivery, in case of non-payment or partial payment of the price, in case of payment incident, or in case of fraud or attempted fraud concerning the use of the site, including previous orders.

However, some prices may be affected by an error. If BLUMKINE notices a price error in the order, the customer will be informed as soon as possible.

Article 8 - legal guarantees
All BLUMKINE products are guaranteed compliance and hidden defects. These are legal warranties that apply regardless of any other commercial warranties that may be granted by BLUMKINE and the right of withdrawal provided for in Article 7.
8.1 guarantee of conformity
Article L217-4 of the French Consumer Code states that: The seller delivers a good in accordance with the contract and is liable for any non-conformity existing at the time of delivery. He shall also be liable for any defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, installation instructions or installation where the latter has been charged by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility." In accordance with Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code, "the property is in accordance with the contract: 1. If it is suitable for the usual intended use of a similar property and, if applicable, - if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- it has the qualities which a purchaser may legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling;
2) Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted”.
The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed within two years from the delivery of the goods, as provided for in Article L211-7 of the Consumer Code.
The customer may choose between the repair or replacement of the article, subject to the cost conditions envisaged by article L. 217-9 of the consumption code;
It is possible that the inventory does not allow the item to be replaced identically. It will therefore and in any case, proceed to the refund of the non-compliant article and its replacement by an article of equivalent price, if the customer wishes by placing a new order.
8.2 guarantee against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the Civil Code states that: “The seller is bound by the warranty by reason of the hidden defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which diminish that use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given it only a lesser price, had he known it.”
Article 1648 of the Civil Code states that “An action resulting from a defect must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect”.
Within the framework of the legal guarantee of hidden defects, the company BLUMKINE, in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil Code, and according to the customer’s choice, undertakes after evaluation of the hidden defect:
• Either refund the full price of the returned item,
• To refund a portion of the price of the item if the customer decides to keep the item.
