Article 1 : Subject

These general conditions of sales are intended to define, exclusively because of the relationships they establish on the Internet, the rights and obligations of the parties incurred from the online sale of products and services offered on the website. These general conditions are the only ones applicable and replace all other conditions, unless prior written derogation. Foxof may be occasionally obliged to modify certain provisions of these general conditions, so it is necessary for you to reread them before each visit of our website, or at least before each order. We consider by validating your order that the buyer accepts without reservation our general conditions of sales after having read them. Similarly, by accessing the site, you agree to the general conditions as well as the conditions of use contained therein.

Article 2: Orders

To place an order we offer you the following methods described on the page: www.degxel.com/prosuk

Given the large number of references in our catalog, it is essential that the order includes the item codes related to the products ordered. Our customer service can help you in this process. For any request concerning your invoice or your order, our sales department is available from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 11am and from 12 am to 4 pm. Please provide yourself with your order references.

Orders sent directly by the buyer, engage directly the seller only when these orders have been accepted by the latter. The acceptance of general conditions is not conditioned by a handwritten signature from the buyer, in accordance with the provisions of the article 1316-4 of the Civil code, supplemented by Decree N°2001-272 from the 30 March 2001, taken for the application of Article 1316-4 of the Civil Code and related to the electronic signature. It is recalled that the validation of the order (proforma invoice) constitutes an electronic signature which has got the same value between the parties as a handwritten signature and is proof of the entire order and payment due pursuant that order. Any purchase order constitutes an irrevocable acceptance which can be challenged within the limits provided in these general conditions of sales. The records stored in Foxof computer systems will be considered as proof of communications, orders and payments between the parties.

The business of buying (orders) relating to these general conditions of sale are exclusively reserved for professionals in the field of heating or prescribers related to this field. The buyer therefore declares unconditionally to be a professional of a capacity to analyze the offer of technical products offered on our website www.degxel.com/prosuk (either through his own internal resources or by means of a professional assistance adapted to his choice). The technical choices made by the buyer are directly attributable to himself. As a result, orders validated by Foxof company are firm, non-cancellable and non-refundable after the receipt of the order or the pro forma invoice accepted by the buyer. The settlement of the pro forma invoice worths the acceptance of such order.

Any changes of orders or any accessory or derogatory conditions as to the purpose and conditions of sales are only valid insofar as they appear in the offer or if they have been validated by the seller. Accordingly, any clause from the buyer, not accepted in writing by the seller, which would be in conflict with these general conditions would be considered void.

Foxof reserves the right to refuse to execute a delivery or to accept an order by a dealer who wouldn’t have fully or partially paid a previous order or with whom a dispute is being administered.

Article 3: Products – Prices

The products are in stock and deliverable under 3 weeks approximately. In case of unavailability, we are committed to promptly contact you by email or by phone to inform you of this situation and when that product could be delivered.

The pictures associated with the products do not enter the contractual framework with the dealer. Indeed, the concepts of colours, in particular, are very subjective depending on computer screens where the user consults the offers. Indeed, the concepts of colours, in particular, are very subjective depending on computer screens where the user consults the offers. Therefore, if these elements were to present for any reason a wrong character (for the client), Foxof could not be held responsible. That’s why it is up to the dealer to purchase a color chart or a demonstration kit that allows him to perfectly know the products that he then resells to his clients.

Regarding the use of products of any kind, it is imperative to refer to the manual before use and especially the commissioning section.

We are committed to apply the current rates that were displayed on the website at the time of your order. The prices listed on the site are in Pounds and include all taxes.

Article 5: Delivery and responsibilities

The product is delivered to the address on the purchase order and only at this address (no changes after order confirmation).

For parcel tracking reasons, it is impossible to deliver the order to military bases or other similar premises..

We do our best to meet the delivery deadlines announced when placing order. Any possible delays cannot in any case justify the payment of compensation.

The deadlines we show are average times and correspond to the time of processing, preparation and shipping of your order to which the transportation time must be added. It is stated that orders received on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays are processed the next business day. For orders consisting of several products or containing a pre-order item, the shipping time of this order is based on the longest shipping time of all items.

Article 7: Retention of title and transfer of risk

The transfer of ownership, and consequently the transfer of risk, to the buyer occurs on the day the contract is concluded. From this moment, the risk of loss or deterioration of the products, as well as any damage they may cause, is transferred to the buyer from the moment they are shipped. Consequently, the transfer of risks on the products, even in the case of an agreed sale carriage paid, takes place as soon as they are dispatched from the seller’s warehouses. As a result, the products travel at the buyer’s risk unless otherwise agreed.

All discrepancies relating to the formation, execution and termination of contractual obligations between the parties that cannot lead to an out of court settlement will be subject to the jurisdiction of the court of Nantes (France). In case of disputes of any nature whatsoever, the attribution of jurisdiction to competent courts will be expressly made. The present contract is regulated by the French law.
