3.4. Order

Any order means the approval of these Terms and Conditions, without prejudice to specific contractual terms concluded between Parties.

The Buyer has the possibility of checking the details of his Order and correcting any mistakes.
From the moment the buyer confirms the order by clicking on "Proceed to payment", it means that he has knowingly accepted the content and terms of the Order in question and in particular the present Terms of sale, prices, volumes, characteristics, quantities and time of delivery of products offered for sale and ordered by the Buyer.

Once this step is done, the Buyer can no longer cancel his order.

Upon receipt of the Order, he may exercise his right of withdrawal in accordance with the Article 6 of these Terms of sale.

The sale will be definitive at the time of the Order by the Buyer. This Order will be confirmed by Avril by sending an email to the Buyer (the « Order confirmation email").

In addition, Avril reserves the right to suspend or cancel any execution of an Order and/or a delivery, whatever its nature and level of execution in case of default in payment or partial payment of any sum due by the Buyer in case of payment incident, or in case of fraud or attempted fraud in connection with the use of the Avril website, including on occasion of previous orders.

A second email will be sent to the Buyer upon the shipment of the order.

Avril recommends to the Buyer to keep his two emails on paper or stored on his computer. The Buyer is informed that the two emails will be sent to the email address entered by the buyer at the time of his registration, prior to placing the order.

Thereby, if the Buyer has made a mistake in his email address, or if he did not receive the Order confirmation email, Avril’s responsibility cannot be engaged.
