The prices shown on the Site are in accordance with Act no. 81-766 of 10 August 1981 on book prices and are given by default in euros inclusive of all French taxes (French VAT and other applicable taxes), excluding any delivery charges.

If the VAT rate has recently been altered, these changes will be reflected in the prices of the goods concerned without the Client receiving prior notification.
We reserve the right to alter prices at any time but the goods will be invoiced on the basis of the tariffs in force on the Site at the time of confirmation of order, as shown on the invoice.
Article 3: Ordering
You acknowledge that you are 18 or over and have the legal capacity to place an order on the Site.
The Client may place an order on the www.orseu-concours.com website on any day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The ordering process is as follows:
• choose the items and add them to your shopping basket;
• confirm the basket contents;
• enter your ID on the www.orseu-concours.com website, if not already done;
• choose the delivery method, if required;
• choose the method of payment and accept the Terms and Conditions of Sale;
• confirm the payment.
The Client will receive an email confirming the order.
At the different stages, the Client will be able to view the order details and the total price and to correct any errors before confirming the order as an expression of his/her agreement.
The sale will not be considered final until after the Client has been sent confirmation of acceptance of the order by ORSEU via email.
We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order placed by a Client with whom there is a dispute over payment of a previous order or who, in our view, may present some form of risk.
All orders are deemed to constitute acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the items available for sale.
Under Article L. 114-1 of the French Consumer Code, the Client may withdraw from the sales contract by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt if the delivery date is exceeded by more than seven (7) days for reasons other than force majeure. This contract is, where necessary, deemed to be terminated on receipt of the letter by which the Client notifies us of his/her decision, if delivery does not take place between this letter being sent and received. The Client may exercise this right within a period of sixty (60) working days from the delivery date given.
ORSEU undertakes to honour the orders received on the Site only insofar as stock is available. If one or more of the items ordered is not available, ORSEU undertakes to inform the Client within fifteen (15) days of the order being placed and, if necessary, to reimburse the Client within thirty (30) days at the latest of the payment being made.

The www.orseu-concours.com website is designed for the general public and is not intended to sell the items offered in large quantities. We therefore reserve the right to refuse orders that are abnormal in nature and which, under the terms of Article L. 122-1 of the French Consumer Code, represent a legitimate reason for refusal to sell. Orders for the same item in large quantities, ie in excess of five (5) identical items, may therefore be deemed to be abnormal.

Items are delivered to the delivery address indicated on the Site during the ordering process and not to the delivery address indicated when paying by Paypal, if these addresses are different.
In the event of a "not known at this address" notification, a package "unclaimed" from the delivery service, or a package "refused" at the time of delivery: after receipt and acceptance of the package, ORSEU will make contact with the Client to send their order again if the item is still available or to refund the order if the Client so wishes. ORSEU reserves the right to refund the order and not to resend the item. Except in the case of Client withdrawal, ORSEU reserves the right to refund only the price of the items concerned.
We must be notified of any order not received within a maximum period of sixty (60) working days so that we can make enquiries with the delivery service concerned.
Risk of loss and damage of ourproducts will be transferred on delivery and receipt of the said items by the Client.
