Divergent conditions or general business practices of the Customer have no legal validity unless a written agreement has been negotiated elsewhere.
The act of placing an order implies the buyer's full and unconditional acceptance of the general business conditions, to the exclusion of all other documetnts, such as business brochures or catalogues issued by the Vendor, which have only an indicative value.
Should the Vendor at any given moment choose not to impose one or more of the general business conditions, this does not imply that he renounces his right to impose these same conditions at a later date.
Art. 2 - Ordering/Prices
The client must be over 18 years of age and that accept our General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Orders are considered definitive only when they have been validated by payment of the sum due by the buyer. Once the order has been dispatched, the buyer may not modify or cancel the order and the sum paid cannot be reimbursed.
The firm OROSYS SAS reserves the right to deny the promised service subsequent to determining that the goods are no longer available :
- after contractual settlement
- although a corresponding hedging transaction has been concluded.
In such a case, the Customer will be notified. All reciprocations and considerations of any kind provided by the Customer beforehand will be reimbursed without delay. The Vendor and the Customer can agree together on the delivery of a product of identical size and quality to the product initially ordered by the buyer.

The contractual language is French, the Vendor only accepts the payment in Euros.
Art. 3 - Delivery
The information provided by the Customer when placing an order engages his or her responsibility: if the addressee's details are entered incorrectly, the Vendor cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of the product.
Delivery occurs at the Customer's own risk. As soon as the goods have been entrusted to a transportation company by the Vendor, the risk automatically transfers to the Customer. This also holds true for partial deliveries.
The Vendor posts the shipping charges for France and International deliveries at shipping. In case the goods are shipped to a foreign country outside the European trading zone, the Customer also bears the tariffs and fees.
The following cases of force majeure discharge the Vendor of his obligation to deliver: War, riots, fire, strikes, accidents and the impossibility of obtaining supplies. The Vendor will inform the buyer in reasonable time of the cases or events listed above.
The goods should be examined immediately after delivery by the Customer or an authorized individual to detect any transportation damages. Detectible transportation damages are to be reported without delay in written form. Packaging damages are to be confirmed in written form by the transportation company upon delivery.
In general, any information concerning delivery dates is not legally binding, unless a definite date of delivery has been set in writing. Claims for damages against the Vendor from non-fulfillment of contract or delay are excluded to the extent neither premeditation nor gross negligence can be established.
Art. 4 - Cancellation and Rights of Refund
According to Article L121-16 of the French Consumer Code Law, the Customer may withdraw from the contract in writing (e.g. letter, fax, email) within 7 (seven) days without giving any reason or -if the item has been delivered before expiry of said term - by returning the goods. The term starts with receipt of these instructions in writing, however not before delivery of the goods to the recipient (in case of recurring deliveries of the same type of goods not before receiving the first partial delivery) and not before the information duties.
the withdrawal deadline is deemed to be met if the notice of withdrawal or the item was sent in a timely fashion. The notice of withdrawal has to be addressed to:
OROSYS SAS
76 rue de la Mine
34980 Saint Gély du fesc
FRANCE
E-Mail: business@two-notes.com
Fax: +33 484 250 910
In case of an effective cancellation, both parties shall return the received goods, payments and all other derived benefits (e.g. interest). In case the Customer is unable to return any or all of the received goods and benefits or in case he returns them in a diminished state, the Customer shall compensate the Vendor for the lost value. This shall not apply to objects when the reduction of their value is caused exclusively by testing them. Incidentally, the Customer is free to avoid the obligation to compensate the contractual partner for lost value due to using the object as intended by not using the object like his/her property and by refraining from all use that may result in a value loss. To the extent possible, the Customer shall return objects by parcel post. The Customer shall bear the costs of returning the merchandise provided the goods have been delivered as ordered when at the time of the cancellation the Customer has not performed as stipulated or has not made the contractually agreed partial or full payment. In all other cases the Customer may return the merchandise free of charge. Objects not suitable for shipment by parcel post shall be picked up at the Customer’s premises. The obligation to return received payments shall be fulfilled within 30 days. For the Customer the grace period starts with the date the cancellation is sent or the object is returned. For the Vendor the grace period begins with the receipt of the cancellation or the returned goods.
In case the Vendor finances the transaction through a loan and the Customer cancels the transaction, the Customer is no longer legally bound by the terms of the loan agreement, provided the two agreements constitute an economic unit. This is the assumption when we act toward the Customer as the Vendor and the lender or in case we assist the Customer in securing the loan. If at the time of the cancellation or the return of the goods we have already become the beneficiary of a granted loan, then the lender shall step into our rights and obligations toward the Customer as far as they are the result of the financed agreement.
Distance Selling Regulations void the right of withdrawal for deliveries of tailor made products or products which have been manufactured according to the Customer's specifications. The same applies for products which due to their nature are unsuitable for a return, such as perishable products or products where the expiry date has passed. Furthermore, Distance Selling Regulations void the right of withdrawal for deliveries of audio and video recordings, or software with a broken seal.
OROSYS SAS regrets not to be able to carry the shipping costs for return shipments.
Art. 5 - Forwarding and delivery deadline
The time limit for forwarding the goods is to be understood as exclusive of the transport time and the day of the week. In the case of payment per bank transfer the order will first be handled upon receipt of payment. Therefore the given deadline goes into effect the moment the transfer has been received and subsequently can change depending on the day of the order.
In case of a foreseeable prolongation of the forwarding time, the Vendor will undertake to compensate for this by informing the Customer as soon as possible and via all channels so that he can decide whether to maintain the order or cancel it either partially or wholly.
The time of delivery can in no way result in damage causing a disadvantageto the Customer or renderer of service. Should this time limit be exceeded, the Customer will be informed per e-mail. In this case and as long as the product has not yet been dispatched, the Customer has the possibility to demand a refund in the form of a credit note (voucher), which will be credited to his account within the following 48 hours. This credit note is valid for one year from the date of issue. If the Customer decides to receive a refund, the amount will be refunded within the following 15 days per bank transfer.

Art. 9 - Warranties and claim for damages
OROSYS SAS provides 2 (two) years guarantee for all damages arising during the guarantee period, provided that such damages were caused by a material deficiency or manufacturing error.
- Defects or other damages owing to faulty or inappropriate handling, unsuitable packaging or shipment, the use of inappropriate accessories or an alteration of the original components by the Customer or by a third party not authorized by the Vendor, are not protected by warranty.
- Naturally occurring signs of wear are equally excluded from warranty protection.
- Should the Customer accept the goods or commissioned wares despite prior knowledge of deficiencies, warranty rights only exist to the extent described below, if the Customer reserves these rights expressly and in written form directly after having received the delivery.
- Warranty claims arising from transportation damages may only be enforced by the Customer if the formalities in accordance with Art. 4 have been fulfilled. The warranty period extends to 24 months for new articles. The period begins subsequent to the passage of risk in accordance with French Consumer Code Law. The warranty period extends to 12 months for used articles.
Otherwise, warranty formalities are carried out in congruence with the usual legal regulations according to the French Consumer Code Law.
The Vendor is liable for damages arising from other causes than the detriment to life, body and health only to the extent these have their basis in a premeditated act, gross negligence or the culpable violation of a fundamental contractual obligation on the part of the Vendor or its legal proxies (e.g. its delivery service partners). Liability for compensation claims above and beyond this are excluded. The legal stipulations of French product liability laws have no application in such cases. Should a fundamental contractual obligation indeed be violated in a negligent manner, the liability of the Vendor is limited to foreseeable damages alone.

The Vendor accepts this relinquishment of rights.
Art. 11 - Data protection
In order to provide you suitable services, we may be led to ask you some personal data. The Vendor commits to respect your private life and protect the communicated information.
