Placing an order implies the buyer's full and unreserved acceptance of these T & Cs, to the exclusion of all other documents such as prospectuses, catalogues issued by the seller and which have only an informative value.

The T & Cs can be modified at any time, provided that these modifications appear on the site. 

Article 2: The order

Your order is validated after having completed the dedicated form and then paid the amount of the order by one of the means of payment provided for this purpose. Make sure you have correctly entered your name, first name, address and phone number. The sale is final after the validation of payment.

The validation of your order is worth signature and express acceptance of all the operations carried out on the site. Your personal information provided during the order is binding. In the event of an error, we cannot be held responsible for the inability to deliver the order. 

We will inform you of the availability of products during your order. If, despite our precautions, certain products are temporarily unavailable after your order (out of stock), you will be promptly notified by email. 

Our company reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a buyer with whom there is a dispute relating to the payment of a previous order. 

In addition, in order to control as much as possible the conditions of transport of our chocolates, we reserve the right to postpone deliveries if the temperatures of the moment are considered incompatible with the good conservation of our products.

Article 3: The price

The prices of the products are indicated in euros (€) and include the costs of handling, packaging and conservation of the products. The price also includes the VAT and any applicable French laws on the date of the order, for any order delivered in mainland France.

The transport will be offered at no charge for orders of 49€ or higher (including VAT) only to pick-up/relay points.

Article 8: Delivery

The parcels are generally shipped within 2 working days after receiving the payment. They are shipped with a tracking number and delivered without a signature. 

Shipping costs include preparation and packaging costs as well as postage. The preparation costs are fixed, while the transport costs may vary according to the total weight of the package. We recommend that you consolidate all your items into one order. We cannot combine two orders placed separately and shipping charges shall apply to each of them.

We are committed to paying attention that your parcel arrives without any risk of loss or damage at your location. Furthermore, we pay the highest attention to fragile items. However, if you wish to entrust the delivery of your package to a carrier other than those we make available, Grain de Sail cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for the loss or damage to your package after we will have given it to the carrier of your choosing.

The dimensions of the boxes are appropriate and your items are properly protected. 

Depending on the carriers available on the site, the products will be shipped to a pick-up/relay point or to the delivery address indicated on the order form.
