The Customer declares that he/she has the legal capacity to enter into a contract within the meaning of articles 1145 et seq of the French Civil Code and certifies that he/she is a non-commercial individual of legal age acting for his/her personal needs. The Customer hereby agrees, warrants and undertakes that he/she may only purchase Products from the Site, exclusively for his/her personal needs and without a direct or indirect relationship with a business activity, intermediary or reseller. The Customer confirms his/her commitment not to resell the Products for commercial purposes.
2. Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale
Placing an order on the Site implies full acceptance of these GTC which are accessible at any time on the Site. BOLLE BRANDS advise the Customer to print and retain a copy of these GTC for any future reference.
The GTC applicable to the order are those in effect on the date of placing the order. BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to modify these GTC at any time. These changes are published online and are deemed to be accepted without reservation for any contract subsequently concluded when the Customer places an order on the Site accepting the GTC after they are posted online. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check the Site to ensure he is aware of any changes made to the GTC. In the event that one of the clauses of these GTC is rendered null and void by a change in law, regulation or by a court decision, this shall not under any circumstances affect the validity and compliance of these GTC nor call into question the validity of the other provisions which shall continue to apply.
3. Products
3.1. Characteristics and information relating to the Products
The Customer may, prior to his/her order, refer to the Site to gather information regarding the essential characteristics of the Products he/she wishes to order, presented in each of the Product forms. The decision to purchase and the Product’s choice is the sole responsibility of the Customer.
The Customer is required to refer to the description of each Product he/she wants to order to understand its essential properties and characteristics. The information on the Site is as accurate as possible. However, photographs and other reproductions of the articles are indicative only and have no contractual value. Although we have made every effort to display the Product colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the true colour of the Products.
3.2. Availability of the Products
Our offers of the Products and prices are valid as long as they are visible on the Site, except for special operations whose validity is specified on the Site. BOLLE BRANDS asks the Customer to consult the availability of the Products sold on the information page of each Product.
In the event of an order for a single Product which would prove unavailable, BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right not to accept the order. In this case he undertakes to inform the customer of the lack of availability.
If several Products are ordered, and if one of the Products is ultimately unavailable, BOLLE BRANDS will then inform the Customer of the impossibility of sending the unavailable Product. The rest of the order will be processed and sent to the Customer within the time limits specified in the information e-mail on its order tracking. The Customer may also choose to cancel his/her order in full, subject to first informing Customer Service by telephone or e-mail.
In order to ensure better quality of service and availability of the Products to all Customers of the Site, BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to limit the quantity of Products that may be purchased by the Customer, in accordance with applicable provisions and in particular those of Article L. 121-11 of the Consumer Code.
4. Order
In order to be able to place an order for Products, the Customer must follow the following steps:
• Add one or more Products available on the Site to his/her cart
• Choose a delivery method (standard or express);
• Specify his/her delivery address and check his/her contact details if he/she has an account on the Site;
- Account Creation: If the Customer decides to create an account, he/she will have to create his/her ID and password. The Customer must then ensure that his/her password is protected and not disclosed. It is important to note that the Customer is responsible for any purchases made with his/her ID and password, even if this is not his/her doing.
- No account creation: The Customer may place an order without creating an account. He/she must then provide the information required to enter the order (surname and first name, e-mail address, delivery address, billing address and payment method).
• Select one of the payment methods offered on the Site;
• Accept the GTC;
• Check the elements of his/her order and, if applicable, return to the previous steps to correct the errors;
• Enter his/her payment details; the Customer must hold a valid credit card or an active PayPal account.
• Pay for the order by clicking on the " PLACE ORDER AND PAY”" button. In this respect, the Customer must hold a valid credit card or an active PayPal account.
In the event of prolonged inactivity during the connection it is possible that the Products selected prior to this inactivity may no longer be guaranteed. The Customer will then be invited to resume his/her selection from the start.
Following these steps, the Customer will then receive by e-mail:
• an acknowledgement of receipt representing confirmation of the order and a confirmation of payment.
• confirmation of shipment of the order,
Our acknowledgement of an order receipt does not constitute acceptance of the order. BOLLE BRANDS will have formally accepted an order upon dispatch of the Product. BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right not to accept an order in the event of non-compliance with the GTC, in the event of errors, anomalies in the order (e.g. quantities ordered inappropriate for private or family use), in the event of a payment incident or suspicion of fraud and/or abuse.
5. Price – Payment – Delivery Expenses
5.1. PRICE
Unless otherwise stipulated, the prices displayed on the Site are expressed in Euro (€) or Pound Sterling (£) according to the currency of the Customer's country of order and access to the Site. The price is payable in full at the time the order is shipped to the Customer.
BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to modify prices at any time; the Products shall in any case be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force at the time of placing the order.
In accordance with applicable rules and regulations, any purchase made through the site is subject to value added tax (VAT) which will be specified when the order is validated. In this respect, the applicable VAT shall be that in effect in each member state where the items must be delivered in accordance with the purchase orders.
If one or more taxes or contributions are amended, as well as in the event of the creation of new taxes or contributions, this change may be passed on to the sale price of the Products. However, this shall not apply to any orders already placed; no tax or contribution not provided for at the time of the order may be subsequently requested from the Customer.
The prices invoiced are those in force on the date of the order. The Customer will be informed if prices are likely to change. The Customer is therefore asked to pay attention to the price in effect at the time of the order; this will appear on the Site when his/her Product is placed in the shopping cart. The price for orders already placed remains unaffected by such price changes.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, if there have been any errors on the Site, including pricing errors, we are not obliged to proceed with the order and we will notify you accordingly.
The amount of shipping costs related to the delivery of the Products will be automatically displayed on the Site at the time of validation of the shipping method (standard or express) chosen by the Customer and will be communicated to the Customer again in the e-mail confirming his/her order. The payment requested from the Customer corresponds to the total amount of the purchase, including delivery costs.
Confirmation of the price paid and delivery costs charged to the Customer in the form of an invoice in Euro(€) or Pound Sterling (£) is available to the Customer in his/her personal account accessible on the Site, if the Customer has an account, or by email on request from Customer Service.
5.2. Payment
The price is payable in full on the date the order is placed by the Customer, by secure payment, according to the following terms:
• by credit card, where accepted network cards are: Visa, MasterCard, debit card (American Express network cards are not accepted on the Site)
To this end, the Customer guarantees BOLLE BRANDS that he/she is the holder of the credit card he/she uses and that the name appearing on the card is his/her own. The Customer provides, in a secure internet environment, the number and expiry date appearing on the front of his/her credit card as well as the visual cryptography numbers appearing on the back (or front) of his/her card.
• by PayPal.
The amount due is the amount shown on the order validation page displayed to the Customer at the time of payment.
In the event that, for any reason whatsoever (opposition, refusal of the issuing centre, etc.), the debit of the sums owed by the Customer is impossible, the sale carried out would be immediately cancelled and the purchase process cancelled. The liability of BOLLE BRANDS may not be incurred in this respect.
BOLLE BRANDS also reserves the right to refuse the Customer any order or to honour a delivery if a previous payment dispute exists.
The Customer shall be debited in principle at the time of shipment of his/her order.
5.3. Transaction security
The details of the Customer's bank card are encrypted with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol and will never be transmitted on the Internet unencrypted. The payment is made directly to our bank, which implies that no Customer banking information is transmitted on the Site.

If BOLLE BRANDS is prevented from complying with the deadlines by a force majeure or accidental event (as defined in article 13 of the present GTC), in particular a fault attributable to the Customer, the delivery time is extended automatically according to the duration of the obstruction. BOLLE BRANDS will inform the Customer by e-mail of the occurrence and the end of such obstructions.

Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract.
The Customer must declare his/her decision to use his/her right of withdrawal before the expiry of the aforementioned period. The Customer has the option of completing and submitting his/her declaration of cancellation either:
• via an online form which he/her can access by connecting to his/her customer account;

The Customer shall receive confirmation of his/her withdrawal without delay by e-mail.

7.2. Procedure for return of Products
As part of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Product must be returned in its original packaging, in perfect condition (not stained, damaged, used or worn), complete (including user notice and accessories if applicable) to the following address:
GEODIS
Return Service – Bolle Brands-
25 RUE DU MOLLARET
38070 SAINT QUENTIN FALLAVIER
- the Customer must return the Products to BOLLE BRANDS via its carrier, within a maximum period of 14 days from the Customer's withdrawal declaration, using the pre-printed return label that the Customer received in his/her original package. The instructions to follow will be detailed in the return slip provided to the Client. Any delay, loss or damage in carriage is at the risk of the Customer.
- If the Customer cannot or does not wish to use the pre-printed return label service, he/she may contact Customer Service which will record the return of the Product. In this case, BOLLE BRANDS shall not be liable in the event of loss, shipment to a wrong address or delay in delivery of a Product which the Customer wishes to return, to the extent that the risks of the transport that the Customer has chosen and initiated lie exclusively with the Customer.
BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to refuse the return of a Product and to not refund it or to not refund the full amount:
• in the event of non-compliance with the above-mentioned withdrawal procedure;
• in general, if our Customer Service is unable to identify the Customer or identify the order (order number, return number, contact information, etc.),
• if the Product is not in its packaging and original condition (documents and accessories), and in particular if the Product has suffered depreciation due to its handling or use.
7.3. Reimbursement
Refund of the returned Product(s) will be confirmed by e-mail and will take place within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date on which BOLLE BRANDS has been informed of the Customer's decision to exercise his/her right of withdrawal if all of the conditions of the return have been met. However, BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to defer the refund until the actual date of receipt of the Product or the date on which the Customer provides proof of shipment of the returned products.
BOLLE BRANDS will provide the refund using the same payment method as the Customer used for the initial transaction:
- If payment was made by CB then the repayment will be made to the same CB number.
- If payment was made by PayPal, then the refund will be made to the same PayPal account.
In the event that the Customer returns only some of the Products ordered and not all the Products, the delivery costs will not be reimbursed to the Customer. Only the returned Product will then be refunded to the Customer.
A lump sum of five (5) euros will be automatically deducted from the Customer reimbursement for transport costs of the Products returned, unless Client did not use the pre-printed return label service in which case the Customer would have already paid the return costs.
If the Customer does not use the return label provided with his/her order, it will be up to the Customer to return the Products him/herself and to retain any proof of return, which assumes that the Products are returned by registered mail or by any other means giving a fixed date for this shipment. In this case, the Customer is liable for return costs.
In the event of depreciation of a Product resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the Product (particularly for Products returned incomplete, damaged, deteriorated, spoiled, soiled or otherwise reasonably believed to have been used). BOLLE BRANDS reserves the right to refuse the refund or exchange of the damaged Product (unless it is a defective Product) which will be returned to the Customer or to make a deduction from the refund on account of the diminution in value.
BOLLE BRANDS will not provide a refund if the Products returned by the Customer do not correspond to the Product(s) ordered or if they originate from anywhere other than the Site.
8. Product Warranties
In general, all information relating to the use of the Products and in particular the safety rules relating to these Products are set out in the instructions for use and instructions for use delivered with the Product.
All Products benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity (articles L. 217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the guarantee against hidden defects (articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code) enabling the Customer to return the defective or non-compliant Products delivered at no cost.
The provisions of these GTC are without prejudice to any of the Customer’s other mandatory statutory rights as a consumer.
8.1. Legal guarantee of conformity
We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the Product. Nothing in these terms will affect your statutory rights.
Article L. 217-3 of the French Consumer Code:
The seller delivers goods in compliance with the contract and the criteria set out in Article L. 217-5.
The seller shall be liable for lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods, within the meaning of Article L. 216-1, and which appear within two years of delivery.
In the case of a contract for the sale of goods with digital elements:
1° Where the contract provides for a continuous supply of digital content or digital service for a period less than or equal to two years, or where the contract does not determine the duration of supply, the seller shall be liable for lack of conformity of this digital content or digital service that appear within two years of the delivery of the goods;
2° Where the contract provides for a continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of more than two years, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of that digital content or digital service that appear within the period of time during which it is supplied under the contract.
For such goods, the applicable period does not deprive the consumer of his/her right to updates in accordance with the provisions of article L. 217-19.
The seller is also, for the same period of time, liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when it has been carried out by the seller under the contract or under its responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to shortcomings or errors in the installation instructions provided by the seller.
This warranty period applies without prejudice to articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The starting point for the limitation period of the consumer's action is the day on which the consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.
Article L. 217-4 of the French Consumer Code:
The goods are in compliance with the contract if they comply, in particular, and where applicable, with the following criteria:
1° they correspond to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular with regard to functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristic provided for in the contract;
2° they are fit for any particular purpose sought by the consumer, made known to the seller at the latest at the time of the conclusion of the contract and which has been accepted by the seller;
3° they are delivered with all accessories and installation instructions, to be provided in accordance with the contract;
4° they are updated in accordance with the contract.
Article L. 217-5 of the French Consumer Code:
I.- In addition to the contract conformity criteria, the goods are in conformity if they comply with the following criteria:
1° They are fit for the use usually expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, where applicable, any existing provision of European Union and national law as well as all technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;
2° Where applicable, they are of the quality and correspond to the description of a sample or model that the seller made available to the consumer before the conclusion of the contract;
3° Where applicable, the digital elements they contain are provided according to the most recent version available at the time of the conclusion of the contract, unless the parties agree otherwise;
4° Where applicable, they are supplied with all accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions which the consumer may legitimately expect;
5° Where applicable, they are provided with the updates that the consumer may legitimately expect, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19;
6° They correspond to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer may legitimately expect for goods of the same type, in respect of the nature of the goods and taking into account any public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or labelling.
II.- However, the seller is not bound by any public statements mentioned in the preceding paragraph if it demonstrates:
1° That the seller was not aware of them and was legitimately not in a position to be aware of them;
2° That at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the public statements had been rectified under conditions comparable to the initial statements; or
3° That the public statements could not have influenced the purchase decision.
III.- The consumer may not contest the conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the goods, if he/she has been specifically informed that such particular characteristics deviate from the criteria of conformity set out in this article, and that the consumer expressly and separately consented to such deviation at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
BOLLE BRANDS is liable for the lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Product, which appear within two years from delivery.
When acting within a legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer:
- has a period of five years from the knowledge of the non-conformity of the Product to take action against BOLLE BRANDS, the seller;
- may choose between repair or replacement of the Product, subject to the cost conditions stipulated in article L. 217-12 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from providing evidence of the existence of the non-compliance of the Product within two years following delivery of the Product;
As part of the legal guarantee of conformity, BOLLE BRANDS undertakes, at the choice of the Customer:
- either to repair the Product;
- or to replace the Product with an identical product based on available stocks;
However, in accordance with article L.217-12 of the French Consumer Code, BOLLE BRANDS may not proceed according to the Customer's choice if the requested remedy is impossible or imposes disproportionate costs to BOLLE BRANDS having regard to the value that the Product would have if there were no lack of conformity, the significance of the lack of conformity and whether the alternative remedy could be provided without significant inconvenience to the Customer.
Any Product repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity benefits from an extension of this guarantee of six months. If the Customer chooses the repair, but this remedy is not implemented by BOLLE BRANDS, the replacement of the Product initiates, at the benefit of the Customer, a new period of legal guarantee of conformity attached to the replaced Product.
BOLLE BRANDS may refuse to bring the Product into conformity if it is impossible or entails disproportionate costs, in particular with regard to the value that the Product would have in if there were no lack of conformity and the significance of the lack of conformity. If BOLLE BRANDS refuses to bring the Product into conformity and unless the lack of conformity is minor, the Customer is entitled to either return the Product and receive a refund of the price paid or keep the Product and be refunded a proportionate part of the price. The return, replacement or refund of the Product shall be at no cost to the Customer and shall not prevent the possible allocation of damages should the Customer be entitled to it.
8.2. Warranty against hidden defects
Having regard to Article 1641 of the French Civil Code;
"The seller is bound by the warranty due to hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for the use to which it is intended, or which decrease this use to the extent that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price, if he/she had known of these. ”
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code:
"The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect. ”
Article 2232 of the French Civil Code:
“The postponement of the starting point, suspension or interruption of the limitation period may not have the effect of bringing the period of the extinctive limitation beyond twenty years from the beginning of the right. ”
In case of hidden defects:
-The Customer shall be responsible for proving that it fulfils the conditions of the guarantee.
-The Customer will have the option of returning the Product and being refunded or keeping the Product and being refunded part of the price.
-The Customer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects in the Products within the meaning of article 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code; in this case, he/she may choose between termination of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with article 1644 et seq. of the French Civil Code.
8.3. Exclusion of warranty
Defects resulting from:
- the use of Products non-compliant with their intended use,
- failure to comply with installation, use and maintenance instructions of
- Products,
- the deterioration and normal wear of the Products,
- the modification of the Products, or torsional shock, compression, fall or abnormal impact on the Product.
