  • Seller : Any legal entity selling goods or services.
  • Service provider : Alma SAS, with capital of €236,426.33, headquartered at 176 avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number 839 100 575.
  • Customer : any natural person of legal age or legal entity paying for purchases from the Vendor via the Service Provider's payment service.
  • Accepted countries : List of countries from which the Customer's means of payment must originate. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Terms and Conditions, this refers to France only.
SUBJECT

Payment in instalments" or "deferred payment" are payment facilities granted by the Vendor to the Customer allowing payment of the order to be spread over several instalments or deferred to a date subsequent to the order (2 times, 3 times, 4 times, D+15 or D+30 depending on the Vendor's choice).

These payment facilities do not fall within the scope of consumer credit regulations (cf. art. L312-4 of the French Consumer Code).

The Service Provider provides technical support to the Seller and the Customer for the implementation and management of these payment facilities.

CONDITIONS

Access to the payment facility is reserved for individuals (natural persons of legal age) and professionals (legal entities) residing in an Accepted Country.

These persons must hold a Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Cartes Bancaires bank card issued in an Accepted Country, or a bank account held by a bank domiciled in an Accepted Country, and a telephone number in the same country as their card or bank account.

In the case of payment by card, the card must be valid at least one month after the last due date of the payment facility.

We do not accept cards with systematic authorization, credit cards, prepaid cards, virtual cards or cards from countries not on the list of Accepted Countries.

Access to the payment facility service is subject to the decision of the Service Provider, who may refuse access to the Customer, in particular in the event of suspected fraud or risk of non-payment.

The Service Provider may request additional information from the Customer in order to authorize access to a payment facility. This may include a request for the customer's identity document, or a request for access to the customer's bank account.

The Customer agrees to allow the Service Provider to debit the amounts due on the dates specified in the payment receipt.

The Customer agrees that the claim which the Vendor may have against him may be assigned to a third party.

EFFECTIVE DATE

The Customer requests access to the payment facility by clicking on the Service Provider's "Pay in instalments" (or "Pay in 2 instalments", "Pay in 3 instalments", "Pay in 4 instalments") or "Pay later" (or "Pay in 15 days" or "Pay in 30 days") button. Where appropriate, the Customer may be asked to sign.

The Vendor indicates his agreement to this payment facility by the message "Payment accepted" or "Accepted". The customer's order is then validated and the payment facility takes effect immediately.

CANCELLATION

Withdrawal of order : The individual customer has a withdrawal period for his order with the Vendor as specified in the Vendor's General Terms and Conditions of Sale. In the event of exercising this right and cancelling the purchase, the payment facility will be cancelled and all sums already paid to the Vendor by the Customer will be reimbursed.

Withdrawal from the payment facility : The individual customer has a period of 14 calendar days from the date of order to waive the payment facility granted by the Vendor and decide to pay in cash, by contacting the Service Provider directly at the following address support@getalma.eu.

In the event of retraction, any costs paid by the Customer will be reimbursed by the Vendor (excluding the cost of returning the order). If they meet the withdrawal application conditions described in article L121-16-1 of the French Commercial Code, professional customers also benefit from a right of withdrawal for a period of fourteen calendar days, under the same conditions as for private customers.

CANCELLATION

If all or part of the order is cancelled in accordance with the Seller's general terms and conditions, the amount of the payment facility will be revised accordingly to bring it into line with the new amount due.

Where applicable (e.g. in the event of total cancellation of the order), the Vendor will reimburse the Customer for any overpayments.

TERMINATION

In the event of non-payment by the Customer of any sum due on the due date, the Vendor may cancel the offer of a payment facility and demand immediate payment of the full amount outstanding.

Similarly, the Vendor may cancel the offer in the event of a false declaration by the Customer (personal information, bank details). In such cases, immediate payment of the full amount due may be required.

In the event of bank fraud, organized fraud or proven non-payment, the Service Provider may take the following actions:

  • early debit of funds on all cards or payment methods connected to the Customer ;
  • freezing of the customer's funds in order to proceed with the recovery of his default;
  • freezing of customer funds for further investigation;
  • request cancellation of the sale from the Seller.

Funds, bank cards or any other means of payment are deemed to be 'connected' to a Customer when the Service Provider has sufficient evidence to corroborate a link.

In order to prove its good faith, the Service Provider will endeavor to document all the elements that enabled these connections, in particular in order to be able to produce them in court.

Funds may be frozen for up to 180 days (particularly in the case of falsified documents) to enable the Service Provider's teams to carry out the necessary investigations to establish the facts.

At the end of this period, the funds will be reimbursed to the Customer free of charge or retained to cover a Customer default.

RELATIONS

In order to facilitate and streamline exchanges, the Seller delegates the entire management of the payment facility (control, acceptance, direct debits, reimbursement, collection) to the Service Provider. The latter uses dematerialized communication media.

The Customer may, however, receive these general and special terms and conditions on paper upon request to the Service Provider.

PROOF

The Vendor, the Customer and the Service Provider agree that the data, files, recordings or any operation received or stored on any computer medium of the Vendor or the Service Provider, as well as any exchange between the Customer and the Vendor or the Service Provider carried out by electronic or any other dematerialized means, constitute proof of the payment facility granted.

The Customer acknowledges that clicking on the "Pay in instalments" or "Pay later" button, or signing on the Service Provider's interface, constitutes a full and complete commitment on the part of the Customer.

LATE FEES

In the event of late payment by the Customer, defined as a delay of more than 15 days on a due date, the Service Provider reserves the right to apply late payment penalties of up to 8% of the outstanding sums.

If the Customer is a company, the minimum penalty is €40 (flat-rate compensation for collection costs).

Please note: Alma will make every effort to resolve payment defaults amicably without the application of these penalties, provided that the Customer cooperates fully in the process of resolving the non-payment.

INFORMATION, COMPLAINTS

For any questions relating to these conditions, or in the event of a complaint, the Customer may contact the Service Provider at the following address support@getalma.eu. The Service Provider undertakes to respond within 48 hours.

Late payment will result in the immediate payment of all sums due by the Customer, without prejudice to any other action that the Vendor may be entitled to take against the Customer in this respect.

In addition, the Vendor reserves the right, in the event of non-compliance with the payment conditions set out above, to suspend or cancel the delivery of current orders placed by the Customer.

Payment data is exchanged in encrypted mode using the protocol defined by the approved payment service provider involved in banking transactions on the https://www.babykids.fr/en/ website.

If payment is made by cheque, it must be issued by a bank domiciled in mainland France or Monaco.

Cheques are cashed on receipt.

Payments made by the Customer will not be considered final until the Seller has received the sums due.

The Vendor shall not be obliged to deliver the Products ordered by the Customer if the latter does not pay the price in full in accordance with the above conditions.

ARTICLE 5 - Deliveries

The Products ordered by the Customer will be delivered in Metropolitan France or in the following zone(s):

Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, Overseas.

Deliveries are made within :

  • 2 to 4 days for France,
  • 3 to 10 days for Europe,
  • 10 to 30 days for the rest of the world,

to the address indicated by the Customer when ordering on the site.

Delivery is constituted by the transfer to the Customer of physical possession or control of the Product. Except in special cases or when one or more Products are unavailable, all Products ordered will be delivered at once.

The Vendor undertakes to use its best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the time limits specified above.

If the Products ordered have not been delivered within 20 days of the indicative delivery date, for any reason other than force majeure or the fault of the Customer, the sale may be cancelled at the written request of the Customer under the conditions set out in Articles L216-2, L216-3 and L241-4 of the French Consumer Code.

The sums paid by the Customer will then be returned to him at the latest within fourteen days of the date of termination of the contract, to the exclusion of any compensation or deduction.

Deliveries are made by an independent carrier, to the address given by the Customer at the time of ordering and to which the carrier has easy access.

When the Customer has chosen a carrier, delivery is deemed to have taken place as soon as the Products ordered have been handed over by the Vendor to the carrier, who has accepted them without reservation.

The Customer therefore acknowledges that it is the carrier's responsibility to make the delivery and has no recourse against the Vendor in the event of non-delivery of the goods transported.

In the event of a special request from the Customer concerning the packaging or transport conditions of the products ordered, duly accepted in writing by the Vendor, the related costs will be subject to specific additional invoicing, on the basis of an estimate previously accepted in writing by the Customer.

The customer must check the condition of the products delivered.

He has a period of 7 days from delivery to make claims by mail to contact@babykids.frand all supporting documents (including photos).

Once this period has elapsed, and if these formalities have not been complied with, the Products will be deemed to be in conformity and free from any apparent defect, and no claim will be validly accepted by the Vendor.

The Vendor will reimburse or replace, as soon as possible and at its own expense, any Products delivered which the Customer has duly proved to be lacking in conformity or to have apparent or hidden defects, in accordance with the conditions set out in Articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and those set out in these GTC.

The transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating thereto will only take place when the Customer takes physical possession of the Products. The Products therefore travel at the Seller's risk, except when the Customer has chosen the carrier. In this case, the risks are transferred at the time the goods are handed over to the carrier.

ARTICLE 6 - Transfer of ownership

The transfer of ownership of the Products from the Vendor to the Customer will take place upon acceptance of the order by the Vendor, materialising the agreement of the parties on the item and on the price, and this regardless of the date of payment and delivery.

ARTICLE 7 - Right of withdrawal

According to article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code: "The consumer has a period of fourteen days to exercise his right of withdrawal from a contract concluded at a distance, following canvassing by telephone or off-premises, without having to give reasons for his decision or bear costs other than those provided for in articles L. 221-23 to L. 221-25.

For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods over a defined period, the period runs from receipt of the first good."
