CLEON SAS sells its products (men’s and women’s shoes) sur son website www.zespa.fr and www.zespa.com (the “Website”) in a defined list of countries.
Therefore, the fact that a natural person or legal entity (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) places an order on the CLEON SAS Website implies full acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.
They may be accessed on the Website at any time and will prevail, where relevant, over any other version. These general terms and conditions take effect from the date shown at the top of this document.
CLEON SAS reserves the right to modify certain elements of these general terms and conditions at any time. GTCS modifications are binding on users of the Website and Customers who have accepted them once they have been put online. In the event of a modification of these GTCS, the applicable version is the one in force on the Website at the moment when the Customer places the order.
The Website Privacy Policy forms an integral part of the GTCS.
ARTICLE 2: ACCEPTANCE OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A Customer who accepts the general terms and conditions of sale declares that he is capable of contracting under French law and, where relevant, declares that he is legitimately representing the person on behalf of whom he is making the commitment.
The Customer’s confirmation of the order implies acceptance of the general terms and conditions of sale. By completing the transaction, the user is indicating that he accepts these general terms and conditions without reservation.
Through this acceptance, the Customer acknowledges that, prior to placing an order, he has received enough information and advice from the Website and CLEON SAS to ensure that the product(s) is/are appropriate to his needs.
ARTICLE 3: COMPLETION OF THE SALE
The sale is complete between the parties and the buyer assumes ownership of the article once he has paid for it, regardless of the delivery date.
Unless proven to the contrary, the data recorded by the Website constitutes proof of all actions, acceptance and transactions.
All orders entail acceptance of the article prices and descriptions as shown on the Website. If the Customer fails to pay, gives an incorrect address or lives in a country to which we cannot deliver, we reserve the right to suspend the order until the problem is resolved and will inform you of this suspension.
We will send you an email to confirm your order; this will contain a summary of the order and a link to these general terms and conditions and our FAQ.
ARTICLE 4: OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
CLEON SAS fulfils its duty to provide precontractual advice and information as defined in in article L. 221-8 of the Consumer Code and the articles to which it refers.
The essential characteristics of the articles are set out in the detailed description that accompanies the photographs of the articles which are provided for guidance purposes.
At the time of the order, the Customer is informed of the ex-VAT price of the product and all included taxes, along with the arrangements for delivery under the terms and conditions set out in this document.
Compliance with article L. 221-11 of the Consumer Code ensues from confirmation of the order.
ARTICLE 5: CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
The Website is freely accessible without the need for registration, but all orders require the Customer to register on the Website (set up a customer account).
The following information is requested on a mandatory basis in compliance with the Website privacy policy: title, first name, name, email, password, telephone, delivery address and billing address. We reserve the option of setting up a simplified registration procedure via your Google or Facebook account, although this is not mandatory.
These personal data are required to set up a customer account and to complete the sale.
Once you have confirmed the basket, you are asked to enter the delivery address and method and then to confirm the payment.
The Customer is responsible for providing full, accurate information and for updating it if necessary. It is prohibited to provide false individual information and to set up an account for another person without his/her authorisation.
ARTICLE 6: PRICES AND PAYMENT METHODS
The prices are shown as VAT-inclusive in France and the European Union, apart from the French Overseas Territories, where the prices are ex-VAT and the Customer is responsible for paying the taxes on delivery. Outside the European Union, the prices are ex-VAT and shown as DAP (Delivered at Place); in this case you will have extra charges to pay on receipt in accordance with the regulations in force in your country (VAT, customs duties). The articles are supplied at the prices in force at the moment the order was placed.
Payments may be made by bank card or PayPal (see the terms and conditions of use of the PayPal Service )
The prices are firm and may not be revised during their validity period as indicated on the date of the order. The prices may be revised for promotional offers or one-off operations.
Any reduction codes that are applied do not apply to delivery charges, apart from special “free delivery” vouchers. They may not be refunded.
The payment is collected immediately.
The information that you send us with your order and bank card payment is processed automatically by our partner STRIPE. The aim of this automatic data processing is to define a level of analysis of the transactions and to fight against bank card fraud and usurpation and fraudulent use of your identity.
STRIPE and CLEON SAS are the recipients of the data relating to your order. Your card number is never sent or used in its original form but is put through a secure coding and encryption system. The highest standards of security are used to store your data and all comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). You may refuse to have your data communicated, but this will prevent the completion and analysis of your transaction and we will be required to suggest another payment method.
If an outstanding debt occurs due to the fraudulent use of a bank card, the details relating to your order associated with this outstanding debt will be recorded in a payment incident file. An irregular declaration or an anomaly may also be given special treatment.
According to the information provided by the order analysis system, we may contact you to ask you to provide further information. The provision of this information is an absolute precondition to the conformation of your order.
As part of the fight against bank card fraud, CLEON SAS customer services may carry out visual checks on payment methods before products are dispatched. Payments are secured by the 3D-Secure system.
Finally, we reserve the right to decide on a maximum order total, which may vary according to the country from which the order is sent and/or to which the product(s) is/are shipped.
ARTICLE 7: PRICE ADJUSTMENTS DURING SALES PERIODS
If an article has been purchased within 7 days of the start of a sales or promotional period, CLEON SAS may, at the Customer’s express request, credit the difference in price to the Customer account in the form of a credit. This credit will be granted as long as the product, including the size, is still available for sale on the Website at the time of the Customer’s request. The credit will be valid for 12 months following its approval date.
No price reduction will be offered for any article bought in the sales or at a reduced price or for which a promotional code has been used.
The product from the “outlet” category can not be exchanged and not allowed for refund.
ARTICLE 8: DELIVERY METHODS
The Customer is responsible for checking the condition of the delivered product in the carrier’s presence. He should write any reservations relating to damaged or missing products on the delivery note or transport receipt and even refuse delivery of the product, in which case he must inform CLEON SAS.
You have the choice between “standard” or “express” delivery to the address indicated, the cost of which is shown at the time of the order.
An estimate for delivery charges will be drawn up at the time of the order.
The delivery times that are given are dependent on CLEON SAS and its partners’ supply and delivery capacity.
If an ordered product is not delivered on the date or by the expiry of the period mentioned at the time of the order, the Customer may, having unsuccessfully demanded that CLEON SAS perform its delivery obligation within a reasonable extended period, cancel the contract in a letter sent by recorded delivery or in writing via another durable medium.
Unless stated otherwise by law or in these GTCS, late deliveries may not give rise to the payment of damages or compensation of any kind whatsoever.
16th of March 2020: In view of the current context, the concept of delay is therefore no longer guaranteed until further notice. Indeed, we note a possible slowdown in the networks of carriers (precautionary measures and controls, etc.).
Relay point delivery is no longer guaranteed. Delays in delivery cannot be grounds for reimbursement.
We thank you for your understanding and do our best to fulfill your orders.
ARTICLE 9: NON-AVAILABILITY OF THE GOODS ORDERED
If the article ordered is exceptionally no longer available, the buyer may either exchange it for another article or ask for an immediate refund, which will take place within thirty days at the latest of the payment he has made.
ARTICLE 10: ARTICLE QUALITY
The quantity and quality of the delivered articles is that fixed at the time of the order.
CLEON SAS reserves the right to change the article to be delivered in such cases as are described in article L. 212-4 of the Consumer Code, i.e. where these changes are linked to a technical evolution and do not generate a price increase or a deterioration in the quality of the product, it being understood that the consumer is free to mention the characteristics that are the precondition for his commitment.
The articles sold by CLEON SAS are guaranteed new in accordance with the law in force and have in no circumstances been previously used. CLEON SAS may in no circumstances guarantee the quality of or be liable for the subsequent sale of its articles between private individuals.
Unless stated otherwise, if the Customer has any problem concerning the product he has ordered, he must return it in its original condition, unworn. If the product has already been worn, CLEON SAS reserves the right to refuse the return, unless the law states otherwise.
ARTICLE 11: LEGAL GUATANTEES
The legal guarantee of conformity and the guarantee against hidden defects set out below for customers acting as consumers assume that the articles are used normally in accordance with acceptable practices. They apply over and above any commercial guarantee.
We recommend that the Customer checks the product on delivery and, if the delivered product is non-compliant (product error, faulty, damaged or incomplete product,), expresses his reservations in writing three (3) days at the latest following the delivery. If the buyer detects a non-compliance or hidden defect, he should return the faulty article to CLEON SAS in accordance with the returns and complaints policy. The legal deadlines will apply in all cases.
You have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the article in which to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity. In this case, you may choose between repair or replacement. However, we may not proceed in accordance with your choice if that choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other arrangement, considering the value of the article or the extent of the defect.
You are not obliged to provide proof of the existence of a non-compliance in the article during the first twenty-four (24) months following delivery.
You may also decide to invoke the hidden defect guarantee relating to sold goods as described in article 1641 of the Civil Code reproduced below. In this case, you may ask for the sale to be cancelled or for a reduction in the sales price, in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil Code.
In all cases, the article in question may undergo an examination by the manufacturer.

– Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code: The merchandise complies with the contract:
1. If it is suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, where applicable:

– if it has the qualities a purchaser is legitimately entitled to expect given the public declarations made by the seller, the manufacturer or its representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;

This period runs from when the buyer requests intervention or from the provision for repair of the item in question, if this provision comes after the request for intervention.
– Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The guarantee is binding on the seller for hidden defects in the item purchased which make it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended or which reduce such use to the point where the purchaser would not have bought it or would have paid a lower price had he been aware of them.

ARTICLE 17: LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
Article L. 221-15 of the Consumer Code states that CLEON SAS, as a professional, is liable to the consumer as of right for the proper performance of the obligations arising out of the contract concluded at a distance, that these obligations are to be performed by CLEON SAS or by other service providers without prejudice to its right of recourse against them. But CLEON SAS is exonerated from all liability if it can provide evidence that the non-performance or poor performance of the contract could be ascribed to either the customer, the unforeseeable and insurmountable actions of a third party to the contract or a case of force majeure.
Furthermore, CLEON SAS may in no circumstances be held liable for any technical or software failure beyond its control. CLEON SAS liability is expressly limited to compensation for the direct damage proved by the Customer. Vis-à-vis trade customers, the Company’s liability is limited to the price paid by the Customer for the sale.
In no circumstances may the Company be held liable for any indirect damage such as loss of data or files, operating losses, commercial prejudice, loss of profits or damage to image or reputation. CLEON SAS may not be held liable for any disputes that may arise between the Customer and third parties.
The customer has sole liability for the way in which he interprets the information provided on the products and in these general terms and conditions of sale.
CLEON SAS may not be held liable to the Customer for failure to perform its obligations due to a “force majeure” event. The following are considered to be “force majeure” events, in addition to those usually recognised in case law in the French courts (this list is not comprehensive): strikes and social conflicts internal or external to the seller and his service providers, including the postal services, natural disasters, fire, telecommunications breakdowns, power cuts, breakdown in communications or transport systems of all types, or any other circumstance beyond CLEON SAS reasonable control.
In these cases, CLEON SAS reserves the right to change the planned delivery times without the Customer having the right to demand compensation. The Customer will be informed in reasonable time of any difficulties encountered and, where possible, of how long they may last, so that he may decide whether or not to complete the sale or, where applicable, exercise his right of withdrawal.
ARTICLE 18: DISPUTES
In the event of a dispute, the Customer should first of all approach CLEON SAS to obtain an amicable solution. Complaints or disagreements will always be received with considerate attention and it will always be assumed that a person who takes the trouble to explain such situations is acting in good faith. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions if you have any concerns.

In the event of difficulties in applying this contract, the Customer also has the option, before taking legal action, of seeking the advice of a Consumer Ombudsman: you will find contact details on https://www.economie.gouv.fr/mediation-conso.
