The information is that provided by Appoline’s suppliers. The information is given for information purposes only and the company Appoline cannot be held liable if errors are introduced. Likewise, the photographs cannot guarantee perfect similarity, particularly in terms of colors, the latter cannot be contractual and the liability of the company Appoline could not be engaged.

The liability of the company Appoline will, in any event, be limited to the amount of the order and cannot be held responsible for simple errors or omissions which may have remained despite all the precautions taken in the presentation of the products. 

Price:

Prices are indicated in euros (€) all taxes included (TTC) on each item sheet. Items will be invoiced based on the rates in effect at the time the orders are placed.

Prices do not include participation in packaging and shipping costs. These latter will be  invoiced additionally and indicated before validation of the order.

For delivery within the European Union, prices take into account the VAT applicable on the day of the order.

All prices are non-negotiable by the customer.

 

The company Appoline reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, it being understood that the products ordered are invoiced at the price  in force at the time of registration of the order.

Order:

You can place an order online on the website www.maisonappoline.com

Orders sent by email or post will not be taken into account.

The ordering process is as follows:

If you wish to make changes to your order, modify the delivery address or add products, please contact us by email contact@maisonappoline. com

Availability:

Our products are available as long as they are visible on our website and while stocks last. Non-stocked products are only available subject to availability from our suppliers.

The simple fact of adding a product to the basket does not constitute validation of the order. Thus, the product may become unavailable between the time it is added to the basket and the validation of the order by the Customer.

If products are unavailable after you have placed your order, we will inform you by email. The Appoline company then undertakes to cancel the order and fully reimburse the price paid by the customer. The refund will take place within fourteen (14) days following payment by the customer.

Shipping and Delivery:

The Appoline company delivers to Europe.

As the packages are sent from France, no customs fees are expected for deliveries within the European Union.

For orders placed outside a country of the European Union, taxes will be applied. The customer undertakes to pay all taxes due on the importation of products (customs duty, VAT, etc.) applicable depending on the country in which the order is received.

The Appoline company undertakes to deliver the items ordered and paid for to the address chosen by the Customer.

Delivery is free in mainland France from 250€ of purchase outside the furniture and lighting category (total amount of the basket excluding delivery costs).

Below this amount, delivery costs are established according to the weight and volume of the items based on the current rates of the post office and our carriers. The method, time and cost of transport will be specified at the time of the order, depending on the place of delivery, the nature of the products ordered and the transport service chosen by the customer.

The costs and deadlines are indicated to the Customer before the final validation of his order.

The items are delivered to the carrier within 3 working days after confirmation of the order.

Customer Responsibility:

The Customer is informed that it is his responsibility to check the condition of the items delivered upon delivery, in the presence of the delivery person or the collection point staff. In the event of an anomaly observed, the Customer must immediately express reservations by mentioning it on the delivery note.

By anomaly we mean: damage, item missing from the order form, damaged or opened package, broken item.

In the event of an anomaly observed, the customer must notify the company Appoline within 3 days (article L.133-3 of the commercial code) by email or by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt. The Customer must provide photos of the anomaly noted and the transport label appearing on the box. After this period, no complaints will be admissible and the products will be considered as delivered in good condition.

In the event of acceptance of a damaged package by the customer, this is equivalent to acceptance of the goods as is and the Appoline company cannot be held responsible for damage caused to the goods by our delivery operator.

The customer is informed that the chosen collection point may refuse to accept the package, in which case the package will be directed to a new collection point or a post office located on the carrier's route. The company Appoline cannot be held responsible for this change in delivery location and the customer cannot request compensation for any inconvenience caused by a change in collection point compared to that defined when ordering.

In the event of indication by the Customer of incomplete or inaccurate delivery information, the company Appoline cannot be held responsible in the event of delay or impossibility of delivery. In the event of return of goods for these reasons, the costs of reshipping the order will remain the responsibility of the Customer.

In the case of delivery by Colissimo against signature, if the Customer is not present when the delivery person passes, a delivery notice will be given to him in his mailbox or sent by SMS or email, and he will have a deadline which can be consulted on the carrier's website to collect it at its post office or from a commercial partner of the carrier. At the end of this period, the package will be returned to the company Appoline and the Customer will have to cover the costs of a new shipment.

The Customer thus has two (2) years to use one or the other of these guarantees. For lack of conformity, the period begins from delivery. For hidden defects, the period begins from the discovery of the defect.

Four (4) conditions must be met for the customer to benefit from this guarantee:

  • the defect or defect affecting the purchased product is serious
  • the defect or defect must be hidden
  • the defect or defect existed before the purchase even if it appeared subsequently
  • it must not be the consequence of improper use of the product

The company Appoline cannot be held responsible for the misuse and/or abnormal use of the articles that the Customer may make of them. Likewise, the Customer is expressly informed that the company Appoline is not the manufacturer of the products presented on the site www.maisonappoline.com , within the meaning of law n°98-389 of May 19, 1998 and relating to the liability for defective products.

The implementation of the guarantees must be the subject of a request made by email to the following address: contact@maisonappoline. com

The complaint must be motivated and accompanied by proof of the damage suffered (photos, etc.). The Customer must indicate whether he wishes the product to be replaced or refunded.

Transport-related guarantees:

Assuming the risks linked to transport, the company Appoline undertakes to deliver the products ordered by the Customer in closed, resistant packaging, appropriate to the content and transport requirements.

By affixing his signature on the delivery note or transport receipt, without making any reservations, the Customer acknowledges that his package was not damaged during transport.
