GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR WEBSITE USE AND SALES 
www.betonxcire.com  
(for intended use by consumers and non-professionals)


 
ARTICLE 1 – APPLICATION AND ENFORCEABILITY

1.1. The purpose of these general conditions for use and sale (the “General Conditions”) is to determine the rules for use of the website www.betonxcire.com (the “Website”) by any consumer or non-professional, having access to the Website, (“the Customer”), and to govern the sale of our goods on the Website.
It is hereby confirmed that consumer or non-professional means any natural or legal person acting for purposes which do not fall within the remit of his/her/its commercial, industrial, craft, self-employed or agricultural activity.
The Customer accordingly agrees, every time he/she visits the Website, to comply with the General Conditions applicable to all goods and services available on the Website, whether they are provided free of charge or sold.
Consequently, the Customer accepts all of the General Conditions prior to making any purchase, seeking information and/or simply using the Website free of charge.

1.2. The fact that we or the Customer cannot at a given moment rely on any clause of the General Conditions shall not in any circumstances be interpreted as constituting an agreement by us or the Customer not to rely on any of the clauses in question at a later stage.

1.3. We are at liberty to vary the General Conditions at any time in order to adapt them to changes to the Website or to the legislation. The Customer is therefore advised to refer regularly to the latest version of the General Conditions available at all times on the Website and to cease to use it in the event that he/she disagrees with the General Conditions in force.
Nevertheless, the General Conditions applicable are those in force on the date when the Customer’s order is placed.
Similarly, any condition at variance with the General Conditions which is requested by the Customer but not accepted by us is not binding on us.

1.4. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, the data recorded on the Website shall constitute proof of all transactions executed between us and the Customer.

ARTICLE 2 – ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE WEBSITE

2.1. The equipment (computers, telephones, software, telecommunication resources, etc.) giving access to the Website are the exclusive responsibility of the Customer, together with the telecommunication expenses incurred through use of such equipment.

2.2. In order to place an order, the Customer must fill in an on-line registration form in which certain information is required to enable his/her order to be processed and fulfilled and for certain sections and/or services on the Website to be accessed.

When the Customer registers, he/she agrees to provide information which is true, accurate and comprehensive as requested in the registration form and to keep it updated.

In the event that the Customer provides information which is false, inaccurate, obsolete or incomplete, we are entitled not to accept his/her orders.
The Customer is also responsible for all financial consequences resulting from use of the Website in his/her name but also on behalf of third parties including minors, unless he/she can provide evidence of fraudulent use which is not caused by fault or negligence on his/her part.

A valid email address is required in order to create an account.

2.3. The Customer is required to choose login details (user name and password) which are personal to him/her. The Customer's login details enable him/her to identify him/herself and to access his/her account at all times and place orders.
The Customer is responsible for protecting the confidentiality of his/her account and login details. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, any connection to the Website or transmission of data made using the Customer’s login details shall be deemed to have been carried out by the Customer.

Consequently, the Customer agrees to keep his/her login details confidential and agrees not to disclose them to third parties in any form whatsoever. The Customer therefore has the option of expressly disconnecting after each session.
In the event of loss, theft or accidental disclosure of his/her login details, the Customer can request new login details by clicking on “Forgotten password” in the “My account” section. The Customer will then be asked to create a new password in an email sent to the address provided earlier when he/she registered on the Website.

Maintenance work may take place without the Customer being given prior notice.

Once the basket has been approved by clicking on the button “Checkout”, the Customer is required to choose between 2 options:

• to identify him/herself with his/her user name and password (the “Secure Login Details”) to make an order using his/her customer account;

The data identified by an asterisk is essential for registration and the opening of the Customer’s account. If it is not provided, we will be unable to process the Customer's application for registration and the Customer will be unable to place orders on the Website.
