2. PLACE AN ORDER ON THE SITE

Steps to place an order on the site

Customer account

For all first orders, the Customer may or may not create a Customer account and fill in the registration form provided for this purpose on the Site.

On this registration form, the Customer must indicate his/her telephone number.

NOTE: Customers are reminded that they have the right to register on the "liste d'opposition au démarchage téléphonique" in accordance with article L.223-2 of the French Consumer Code.

As part of this registration, the Customer must also enter two identifiers: his address email and his password.

NOTE: These identifiers are personal and must remain confidential. The customer is responsible for their correct use.

The Customer must inform SNAP in writing of any use of these identifiers made without his knowledge or in a fraudulent manner, so that SNAP can deactivate them.

When registering, the Customer must provide SNAP with accurate and complete information, and must then ensure that his/her identifiers are updated in the event of subsequent modifications.

In addition, customers will have the option of using Facebook Connect to enter their personal data, in which case they will be asked to verify its accuracy.

How do I place an order? 

  • The customer selects the products by clicking on the "ADD TO CART" button.
  • At the end of the order, the Customer clicks on the "CART" button. A summary of the order appears on the screen. The Customer can then check and modify all or part of the order, or click on the "CONTINUE MY VISIT" function to add new Products. A new order summary will then appear in the CART.
  • Products are delivered by a carrier, in France or abroad.
  • The Customer acknowledges SNAP's general conditions of sale on the Site and accepts these conditions by ticking the appropriate box.
  • The customer definitively validates the content and amount of his/her order by clicking on the "I VALIDATE MY ORDER" button.
    The customer may only pay for his online order by credit card or PayPal.

NOTE: The Customer and SNAP are contractually bound after effective payment by the Customer and final confirmation of the order. SNAP will prepare and dispatch the products only after final confirmation of the order and effective payment by the Customer.


In addition, it is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that they (or a trusted third party) are present to receive the parcel.



3. PRODUCTS

The main characteristics of the Products sold by SNAP are indicated on the Site.
They comply with French standards.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY INFORMATION

It is possible that the Products displayed as available are no longer available at the time the Customer places his/her order, in particular in the event of their manufacturer (SNAP or other) being out of stock. SNAP cannot be held liable in this respect. In this case, the order may be cancelled by the Customer, free of charge, and without the Customer being able to claim damages from SNAP.

 

4. PRICE

THE PRICES DISPLAYED ON THE SITE ARE INDICATED IN EUROS (€).
They include all taxes applicable to the order, including VAT, in force on the day your order is placed.
In addition to the prices displayed on the Site, shipping costs are calculated according to the carrier's indicated rates.
Any other customs duties or other taxes in the country of receipt are the responsibility of the Customer, who undertakes to pay them at the first request of the legal authority concerned.

5. PAYMENT

5.1 ORDER PAYMENT

ON THE SITE, THE CUSTOMER PAYS THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS IN EUROS (€) USING A CREDIT CARD THAT ALLOWS ONLINE PAYMENTS, OR VIA PAYPAL.

Payment is made in full and in cash (including shipping costs) when the order is validated.

 

5.2 PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD - SECURE ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM

SNAP has implemented a secure online payment system that encrypts the entry and transmission of all data relating to customer orders (including names, addresses and credit card numbers) so that this information is protected during transmission.
The transaction is therefore secure, with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption provided by SNAP's banking partner, Banque Populaire, Paypal and Payplug.
For optimum security, the customer is automatically redirected to the Banque Populaire or Payplug website to enter his/her credit card details (credit card number, expiry date and visual cryptogram).
SNAP therefore never has access to the Customer's bank details, and is only informed by its banking partner of the successful receipt of the Customer's payment.

5.3 INVOICING

SNAP provides the Customer with an invoice corresponding to his order on his customer account and also sends it to him by email.



6. DELIVERY

PRODUCT DELIVERY

At the Customer's choice: to the delivery address indicated by the Customer or to the RELAY POINT of the Customer's choice.

If the recipient is absent at the time of delivery, he/she will be notified of the possibility of dropping off his/her order at a relay point, or of a second presentation by the carrier. 

If the order is returned to the sender due to the absence of the recipient or an incorrect address, the order will be reimbursed, excluding shipping costs. 

Shipping costs for any request to reship the parcel remain at the customer's expense.

7. COMPLIANCE

ORDER CONFORMITY

7.1 UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER

As soon as the order is received at a relay point or at home, the Customer must check the condition of the parcel(s), as well as the nature, condition, quantity and conformity of the Products delivered in relation to the order.
The Customer shall thus carry out all necessary examinations to detect any damage, missing items or non-conformities.
The Customer also checks the condition of the packaging, the number of packages and the quantities, references, conditions and characteristics of the Products.
Delivery of the package to the Customer or its collection by the Customer constitutes delivery of the Products ordered.

7.2 IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION AND IN THE EVENT OF NON-CONFORMITY OF THE PRODUCTS

The Customer must without delay : 

  1. make all necessary reservations with the carrier, giving precise reasons.
