This option only identifies the card that the USER wishes to use for his transaction.

10. TRANSACTION VALIDATION

After having verified the details of his order and its total price and after having corrected any errors in its formulation, the BUYER is irrefragably deemed to have read these general terms of FANTARGET SAS and the general terms of sales of the SELLER and to have accepted them, including the legal requirement of the certification of the majority of the person carrying out the act of purchase. He then makes the payment. In the event that any event occurs that does not allow the payment to be validly completed, the transaction is deemed not to have been validly completed. The BUYER is invited to choose another payment method. The sale is concluded under the resolutive condition of the availability of the product purchased online. Subject to the provisions of these general terms, the BUYER may at any time access his purchase history. The validity of the transaction is subject to the absence of previous unresolved dispute between the BUYER and the SELLER and the absence of legitimate suspicion of fraud concerning the act of purchase. THE PRODUCT IS ILLUSTRATED BY ONE OR MORE PHOTOGRAPHIC CLICHES AND/OR ILLUSTRATION(S) AND/OR VIDEOS TO VISUALIZE THE PURCHASER MORE FIDELY POSSIBLE THE PRODUCT BEFORE POSSIBLY FINISHING ITS PURCHASE AND ITS ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE DECLARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE L.111-1 OF THE CONSUMER CODE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE TECHNICAL VAGARIES RELATED TO THE USE AND QUALITY OF THE SCREEN USED BY THE BUYER TO VIEW THE PRODUCTS OFFERED ON THE ONLINE SALES PLATFORM, THE BUYER IS INFORMED THAT THE GRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS REPRESENTING THE PRODUCTS FOR SALE ARE PRESENT ONLY AT ILLUSTRATION. FANTARGET SAS is only the host of the sales offer. The BUYER must read the product description before making the purchase.

11. PRODUCT INDISPONIBILITY

Any unavailability of an ordered product results in information communicated to the BUYER. He can then choose another product and/or service to keep the benefit of the order (price and equivalent quantity) or ask to be refunded.

12. PRODUCT SHIPMENT

TO KNOW THE DETAIL OF THE EXPEDITION OF THE PRODUCT, THE BUYER IS REQUIRED TO KNOW THE GENERAL TERMS OF SALE OF THE SELLER WITH WHICH HE CONTRACTS. THE CONDITIONS OF DELIVERY (COSTS, TIME, ORGANIZATION) DIFFERENT ACCORDING TO THE AREA OF DELIVERY, THE MODE OF DELIVERY CHOOSED AND VARIA IN FUNCTION OF THE SELLERS.

13. RETRACTATION DELAY

When he makes a purchase on TIGHTR, the BUYER enters into a contract: it is a remote purchase between a consumer (the BUYER) and a professional (the SELLER). The BUYER therefore benefits under Article L121-21 of the Consumer Code from a right of withdrawal of 14 (fourteen) clear days relating to the order placed online. These deadlines run from the day after the BUYER receives the product(s) ordered on TIGHTR. When the deadline expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day. To exercise its right of withdrawal the BUYER goes to its ACCOUNT and follows the indications present in the section "My orders" or uses the form proposed to exchange or return a product. If the BUYER has formalized a purchase with several different SELLERS, he is required to formalize his withdrawal with each SELLER concerned. The exercise of the right of withdrawal with a SELLER is without consequence on the other SELLERS likely to have dispatched their product in the same order formalized by the BUYER. According to the law, the BUYER can only assert his right to retract after having received the ordered product. As from the service of the retraction by the BUYER, the latter has an additional period of 14 (fourteen days) to return the products received. Upon receipt of the product(s) returned by the BUYER, reimbursement of the purchase made as well as the initial delivery costs by any means of payment within a maximum period of 30 days from said receipt. To exercise this right of withdrawal, the BUYER must return the product in its original packaging with all the elements of packaging as received on delivery within the aforementioned time limits and according to the methods indicated by the SELLER. To obtain the refund of the product, it is up to the BUYER to take all the useful precautions so that this last one is restored in the same state as with the delivery, that is to say, new and without any alteration of any kind.

Concerning the withdrawal delay of 14 (fourteen days) days, some SELLERS offer a longer return period. Please note, according to article L121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised on certain types of products, for example, (this list is non-exhaustive), products customized on request or made to measure. The right of withdrawal may also not apply in the case of non-European SELLERS, for example, (this list is non-exhaustive), American SELLERS. The BUYER is required to read the SELLER's return policy by consulting its general terms and conditions of sale, which are intended to be enforceable against him.

14. MEET UP POINTS PROGRAM

FANTARGET SAS offers TIGHTR USERS the MEET UP POINTS PROGRAM rewarding Internet users who interact and contribute to producing content on the WEBSITE as well as BUYERS. Certain types of actions performed on TIGHTR are rewarded by MEET UP POINTS as specified in the dedicated page accessible via this link. The assignment of MEET UP POINTS linked to the submission of editorial content such as advice is subject to compliance by the person submitting the rules of weighting and courtesy. No comment shall prejudice the honour or consideration of any person or entity. FANTARGET SAS is simply a content host. The USER therefore expressly undertakes not to put online content that is contrary to public order or morality, in particular by inserting elements such as, without this being exhaustive, any publication of a pornographic or paedophile nature, or any content inciting violence or advocating terrorism, or having the character of a call to murder or incitement to racial hatred or violating the private life or personality rights of others.

In the event of changes to the rules relating to the MEET UP POINTS PROGRAM, the USER is invited to accept the new general terms proposed to him.

15. RESPONSIBILITY OF FANTARGET SAS

FANTARGET SAS IS NOT PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT UNITS THE SELLER TO THE BUYER.

Third parties may neither request nor be compelled to perform the contract, subject to the provisions of this Section and those of Chapter III of Title IV. The responsibility of FANTARGET SAS can therefore not be sought for a reason related to the sale between the BUYER and the SELLER. FANTARGET SAS IS NOT PART OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE SELLER AND THE BUYER, ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS TRANSACTION MUST NORMALLY BE SETTLED DIRECTLY BETWEEN THE PARTIES, FANTARGET SAS HAS NOT TO BE SOLICITED FOR MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION ASSIGNMENTS. However, any dispute likely to damage the image of FANTARGET SAS will authorize it to intervene amicably if the BUYER does not object. The SELLER is contractually bound to accept the mediation of FANTARGET SAS if it offers it. FANTARGET SAS will try to organize a mediation attempt before any possible contentious appeal, unless the BUYER refuses to participate voluntarily. In the event of a persistent dispute between the SELLER and the BUYER despite accepted mediation, FANTARGET SAS reserves the right to reasonably assess the merits of the BUYER's claim for reimbursement in the light of the circumstances of the sale and the applicable legal and regulatory rules. FANTARGET SAS may demand a refund from the SELLER if it is proven that its liability is involved in a sale. With regard to the legal and regulatory rules in force, the BUYER remains free under all circumstances to refuse the outcome of a mediation conducted by FANTARGET SAS.

19. APPLICABLE RIGHT - ATTRIBUTION OF COMPETENCE - ARBITRATION
