Preamble

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale is to define the rules applicable in the context of the sale of BDC’s brand products (hereinafter "the Product(s)") on the website www.bdc-paris.com (hereinafter "the Site").

Between

SOPHIE SOLEIL (hereinafter «Sophie Soleil»)

a limited liability company with capital of €26,000, with its registered office at 14 rue des Commines, 75003 Paris, registered in the Companies Register for Paris under number 483 542 411.

AND

Any adult individual, not a trader, having legal capacity to enter into a contract, exclusively domiciled in the countries to which Sophie Soleil delivers, and to making a Product purchase on the Site< (hereinafter "the Customer").

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are accessible at all times on the Site; the Customer must declare that it has read and acknowledged them when the order is recorded.

Therefore, placing an order entails full and unreserved acceptance by the Customer of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.

Sophie Soleil endeavours to ensure, to the best of its ability, that the information distributed on the Site is accurate and up-to-date, and reserves the right to correct content, at any time and without notice.

Should a condition prove lacking, it would be regarded as governed by French practices and laws in force on remote selling. The potential nullity of one of the clauses of the General Terms and Conditions does not entail the nullity of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale in their entirety, since only the invalid clause is deemed unwritten and without effect.

Sophie Soleil reserves the right to amend these General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time, by publishing a new version on the Site. The applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale are those in force on the Site on the date of placement of the order by the Customer.
ARTICLE 1 - PURPOSE
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale govern the sale of BDC’s items presented on the Site by Sophie Soleil, a French limited liability company with capital of €26,000 registered in the Companies Register under SIREN number 483 542 411 with its registered office at 14 rue des Commines, 75003 (hereinafter ("Sophie Soleil ") to all adult individuals who are not traders exclusively (hereinafter the "Customer").

They therefore govern the various stages of visiting the site and completion of the sale: from placement of the order by the Customer to delivery of the Product to the Customer.

The preamble forms an integral part of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
ARTICLE 2 - PRODUCTS
The Products offered for sale by Sophie Soleil are those featuring on the Site on the day it is visited by the Customer.

Each product shall form the subject of a description which, in addition to a photograph, shall include: the price, sizes and colours available, composition and any specific characteristics.

There may be minimal differences between a product and its photograph, depending, in particular, on the resolution and colour definition of the user's screen.
ARTICLE 3 - PRICES
Prices are expressed in euros (€), inclusive of all tax including VAT and excluding preparation and delivery costs which vary according to country. The prices shown include the rate of VAT applicable on the day of the order. If the VAT rate were to be changed, it would automatically be passed on in the price of the items. The fixed rate of contribution to preparation and delivery costs is notified to the Customer on the summary order form, before approval of the order.

Any order is deemed tantamount to acceptance of the prices and description of products available for sale.

Sophie Soleil reserves the right to change the product prices and descriptions at any time, particularly in the case of an increase in taxes applicable to sales, including the VAT rate and/or in the case of a typographical error or obvious entry error on the product price or description.

Therefore, products shall be invoiced based on the price in force when the order is recorded, barring any obvious error.

Transfer of risks, loss and damage to Products shall occur after delivery and receipt of the Products by the Customer.
ARTICLE 4 - PRODUCT ORDERS AND PAYMENT
4.1 Placing an order

The Customer finalises their order by completing the following 5 steps

Step 1: the Customer selects the chosen Products and adds them to their basket, after having selected the required size and colour.
The basket in the top right-hand corner of the screen shows the Customer that it has taken the selections into account, indicating the number of Products that it contains.

Step 2: the Customer verifies the content of their basket by clicking on "Place order", to access their order summary. The Customer can then change their order (Product, size, quantity).
The order total inclusive of tax, showing the price due for the Products and delivery costs separately, is then shown in the summary.

Step 3: Once the order has been verified and where applicable, amended, the Customer approves their basket to finalise their order, by clicking again on "Place order".
If the Customer has a voucher code, reserved for preferential Customers, they must enter this where shown, in order to benefit from that code.

Step 4: Entry by the Customer of delivery and billing details Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory fields, it being specified that unless indicated otherwise by the Customer, the billing address will automatically be the same as the delivery address.
If the Customer has already placed an order on the Site, they have a customer account. In this case, they only need their e-mail address and password to log in.
The Customer then verifies the information and clicks on "Accept" to continue with their order.

Step 5: Entering bank details
The Customer then accesses the secure payment screen as outlined below in article 4.3.
Payment is made online by card or PayPal.
The Customer must enter their card number, its expiry date and the 3- or 4-digit card security code on the back of their card.
If payment is accepted, the Customer will be redirected to an order confirmation screen on the Site.
If payment fails, the Customer shall have 3 attempts to re-enter their bank details. After the 3rd refusal, the Customer will be redirected to a screen notifying them that payment has been refused. The Customer shall then be invited to contact Sophie Soleil Customer Service to find out why payment has been refused and reach a solution to complete the order.

4.2 Order confirmation

On acceptance of the Customer's payment, the Customer will receive a confirmation e-mail for their order, summarising all items ordered, the billing address and delivery address, and also the delivery date.

Approval of the order by the Customer and the order confirmation e-mailed to the Customer by Sophie Soleil, once payment has been accepted, are deemed tantamount to conclusion of a Sales Contract between the Parties and acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

A Customer who has placed an order will have the option of printing their invoice by logging on to the Site in the "Track your order" space provided to this end.

Sophie Soleil reserves the right not to approve the order in the case of:

• Obvious error in Price;
• Unusual activity on the Customer's account (unusual or abusive complaints, unusual or abusive exchanges and returns, etc.);
• Unusual orders in the light of quantities ordered,
• Existing dispute(s) with the customer.

4.3 Payment

The price of the Products purchased is payable in cash, in full, on the day the order is placed by the Customer.

Transactions completed on the Site are secure, using the Geotrust payment system.

All information exchanged in order to process payment is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. These data cannot be detected, intercepted or used by third parties. At no time do the Customer's financial details pass through Sophie Soleil 's IT system.

Geotrust verifies that the connection with the Customer's browser is secure before sending the payment form to the bank handling the financial transaction.

Since Geotrust is a technical provider, it is not responsible for disputes relating to orders, which are processed directly by Sophie Soleil as stated above, or where applicable, by the Customer's bank.

In the case of fraudulent use of their card on the Site, the Customer is invited to contact Customer Service using the contact form, e-mail (shop@bdc-paris.com), and by phone on +33 1 42 22 98 98, Monday to Saturday, 11.00 am to 7.00 pm

The debit authorisation request is made at the time of approval of the order on the Site, unless servers are unavailable. Sophie Soleil reserves the right to issue a second debit authorisation request if the first request has failed due to unavailability of servers.

In the case of non-payment, incorrect address or any other issue on the Customer's account, Sophie Soleil reserves the right to block the Customer's order until the issue is resolved.
