These General Terms and Conditions govern the sales of Products made through the Company's website and are an integral part of the contract between the Company and the Customer. They are fully binding on the Customer who has accepted them before placing an Order.
These General Terms and Conditions, which the Company reserves the right to modify at any time by publishing a new version on its website, prevail, except for special conditions issued by the Company, over all other documents or conditions, which the Customer expressly declares to know and accept, without restriction or reservation. Only the version of the General Terms and Conditions that is online at the time the Customer places the Order, in accordance with article 5.2, applies between the Company and the Customer.
The Client acknowledges that he has received the necessary advice and information to ensure that the offer meets his needs.
The Client declares that he is able to legally contract under French law or validly represent the natural or legal person for whom he is making a commitment.
Unless proven otherwise, the information recorded by the Company constitutes proof of all transactions.

The Customer also undertakes to ensure that the information provided during registration is accurate, complete and regularly updated from his/her Customer Account.
5 – ORDERS
5.1 Orders may be placed worldwide. Any Order placed by a Customer residing outside of French territory will be processed in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions, subject to any legislative provisions otherwise applicable in the country where the Customer placing the Order is domiciled.
5.2 In accordance with the provisions of Article 1127-1 of the Civil Code, to place an Order the Customer undertakes to comply with the following procedure consisting of:
select your Products (by entering the desired size and quantities);
identify themselves on the Service by connecting to their Customer Account (by providing the information relating to their identification) or by filling in the fields of the “Contact Details” form;
view their Order summary (displaying the price details of each Product as well as the total price of their Order);
select your delivery method;
validate their contact details and their Order by clicking on the “Continue to payment” link; and
proceed to payment by clicking on the “Confirm payment” link or any other link indicating that placing an order requires payment.
The Customer has, provided that he has not yet confirmed his payment, the possibility of reversing his choice of Products at any time, of correcting any errors made when entering his Order and/or of modifying all or part of his identification data (including the billing and/or delivery address). Any confirmation of payment requires acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions, which the Customer undertakes to validate, after having fully read them, by ticking the box provided for this purpose.
Confirmation of the Order will constitute the formation of the contract.
The language offered for the conclusion of the contract is French for Customers using French language navigation or English for Customers using English language navigation or a language other than French. The choice of French navigation language is initially made by default depending on whether the language of the Customer's browser is a language other than French. The Customer may also be offered the possibility of voluntarily choosing their navigation language using the Language menu displayed on all pages of the site.
The parties agree that the illustrations or photos of the Products offered for sale have no contractual value.
5.3 Payment for the Order is made by bank card (Visa, American Express, Master Card, other bank cards) or by any other secure online payment method indicated to the Customer.
By providing their banking information during the sale, the Customer authorizes the Company to debit their card for the amount corresponding to the indicated price. The Customer confirms that they are the legal holder of the card to be debited and that they are legally entitled to use it. In the event of an error, or if it is impossible to debit the card, the sale is immediately and automatically terminated and the order canceled.
Any Order by the Customer is debited before shipment.
5.4 An order confirmation email beginning with # is sent to the Customer upon receipt of payment and after verification by the Company of the availability of the Products in stock.
The sending by the Company of a confirmation email definitively validates the Customer's Order. However, and if for whatever reason the Company is unable to process an Order, it will inform the Customer by email as soon as possible and, provided that it has already collected the amount, will proceed to its reimbursement.
5.5 The Order confirmation email that the Company sends to the Customer in accordance with Article 5.4 contains a link to log in to their account in order to download, in PDF format, the version of the General Terms and Conditions that are in force on the date of validation of the Customer's Order in accordance with Article 5.2.

In all cases, the total amount due by the Customer including shipping costs is indicated on the Order confirmation page.
Customs duties or other local taxes, import duties, or state taxes may be payable in certain cases. These duties and amounts are not the responsibility of the Company. They will be the responsibility of the buyer and are their sole responsibility (declarations, payment to the competent authorities, etc.). The Company invites the Customer to inquire about these aspects with the relevant local authorities.
Any order is invoiced on the basis of the rates in effect at the time of validation of the Customer's Order in accordance with article 5.2.
The Company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time for the future, while guaranteeing the application of the price indicated at the time of the Order.
The Products remain the property of the Company until full payment of the price. Full payment of the price entails transfer of ownership of the Products to the Customer.
7 – DELIVERY
7.1 The Products are delivered to the address provided by the Customer and within the delivery time indicated in the confirmation email that the Company sends, in accordance with article 5.4, upon receipt of payment to the Customer.
THE DELIVERY TIMES BELOW DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ORDER PREPARATION TIME, AS WELL AS THE PREPARATION TIME FOR CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS.
For Products indicated as “pre-order”, the delivery time does not take into account the time taken to deliver the Products to the Company.
The Company reminds that at the moment the Customer takes physical possession of the Products, the risks of loss or damage to the Products are transferred to him. It is therefore the Customer's responsibility to notify the carrier of any possible reservations regarding the delivered Product.
7.2 The following different delivery methods are offered to the Customer:
Delivery to relay point:
Delivery to a drop-off point with an average delivery time of 3 to 7 working days depending on the delivery destination indicated.

Tracked home delivery – no signature required:
For mainland France (including Corsica): delivery with an average time of 2 (two) working days to 7 (seven) working days to the delivery address indicated. If the Customer is absent and the size of the package does not allow it to be delivered through the mailbox, a calling card will be left and the package will be made available to them at the drop-off point to which the Customer is attached. The Customer has 15 (ten) working days from the arrival of the package at the post office to collect it. After this period, it will be returned to the Company.
For destinations other than mainland France (including Corsica): delivery with an average time of 3 (five) to 15 (fifteen) working days depending on the delivery destination indicated. If the Customer is absent and the size of the package does not allow it to be delivered through the mailbox, a calling card will be left and the package will be made available to them at a drop-off point to which the Customer is attached. The Customer has 15 (fifteen) working days from the arrival of the package at the drop-off point to collect it. After this period, it will be returned to the Company.

The package delivered to your home with tracking and signature will be delivered to the address indicated by the Customer against the signature of the recipient or that of any person attached to their service, living with them or specially authorized. The recipient's signature is not systematically made available to the Customer.
Where applicable, the digital signature of the recipient, any person attached to their service, living with them, or the specially authorized person, as well as its reproduction, constitutes proof of delivery of the package. Refusal to sign is equivalent to refusal of the shipment.
A confidential code may also be sent to the recipient by SMS or email before the package is delivered. The package can be delivered to the address provided upon transmission of this confidential code. The matching of the codes constitutes proof of delivery of the package and is equivalent to a signature.
If the Customer is absent, a calling card will be left and the package will be made available to them at the drop-off point to which the Customer is attached.
7.3 In the event of a delay in shipping, the Customer will receive an email indicating a new delivery date.
8 – WITHDRAWAL
8.1 In compliance with the legislative provisions in force, the Customer has, subject to article 8.3, a period of 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the Order to exercise his right of withdrawal provided for in article L. 221-18 of the Consumer Code, without having to justify his decision.
8.2 The withdrawal request is addressed to the Company by the Client:
either by contacting Customer Service: shop@karminecorp.fr – Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (excluding public holidays) – to obtain a withdrawal form;
either by logging into their Customer Account from the “Order Details” section.
The Products are returned by the Customer by mail, at his expense, to the address of the place of dispatch of the Products or to any other address which would be indicated to him from his Customer Account by the Company no later than 14 (fourteen) days following the date of sending, by the Customer, to the Company of his withdrawal form.
8.3 In accordance with Article L. 221-28, 9° of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised (i) if the Products have been unsealed, (ii) more generally if they have been worn, consumed or damaged by the Customer, (iii) if they are ticketing products or (iv) if they are personalized products (for example, without this list being exhaustive, products signed by the artist and products printed with a message of the Customer's choice).
Purchase or access to show tickets alone or as part of a commercial offer: In accordance with article L221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised in the context of leisure activities to be provided on a specific date or period.
In this regard, in the event of the purchase of a product or service providing access to the purchase of a show ticket or access to a pre-sale of a show ticket or any similar event (in particular access to a release party), the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by the Customer, including when access to the pre-sale of the show or the show ticket is part of a commercial offer including the purchase of other products and/or services.
In accordance with Article L. 221-28, 5° of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised if the Products have been unsealed by the Customer after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection. This particularly concerns foodstuffs.
The Customer cannot withdraw when the Product is a good likely to deteriorate or expire quickly, such as fresh food products.
In the event of withdrawal, the Products must therefore be returned to the Company in their original packaging and, in any event, in their original condition (i.e. new condition allowing the Company to re-offer the Products for sale). Consequently, (i) any clothing worn or having suffered damage, even minor, (ii) any CD, DVD or food product that has been unsealed and (iii) any Product that has been damaged by the Customer will not be taken back or refunded by the Company.
8.4 In the event of withdrawal in accordance with this article 8, the Company is required to reimburse, excluding the costs of returning the Products which are the responsibility of the Customer, all sums paid (including delivery costs) by the Customer no later than 14 (fourteen) days following the date on which the Company receives the Customer's withdrawal form.
9 – TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
9.1 In accordance with Articles L. 216-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and in the event that the Company has not respected the maximum legal delivery time of 30 days, the Company undertakes to notify the Customer as soon as possible by email. The Customer may, at their choice, within 24 (twenty-four) hours following receipt of notification from the Company:
accept the new delivery date proposed by the Company, or
cancel the Order, if it has not been shipped at the time of notification from the Customer.
If the Company has not complied within this additional period, the Customer has, subject to Article 9.3, the option of cancelling his Order by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt addressed to the Company after sending an initial formal notice, sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the Company, ordering it to carry out the delivery as soon as possible, which has remained without effect.
