For the natural person Client, the payment of the totality of the price is carried out immediately with the Order by bank card via HERBARIUM's secure online payment system, by direct debit, or bank transfer. For the legal entity client, payment is made by credit card via HERBARIUM's secure online payment system, by direct debit, or bank transfer.

15.2. Delivery time : HERBARIUM SASU will make its best efforts to respect the delivery times indicated during the Order for each of the products, which are given as an indication and without guarantee. This absence of guarantee is due in particular to the availability of the teams of HERBARIUM SASU and the carriers in charge of the delivery of the Products.
Delays attributable to HERBARIUM SASU, to the carrier in charge of delivery or to a third party can in no way justify the cancellation, modification or postponement of the order or other orders already confirmed, nor give rise to a request for a reduction in price, penalties or damages of any kind.
Any modification of an Order during its execution may result in an extension of the delivery time.
15.3. Delayed delivery: If the product ordered is not delivered within 15 days of the agreed delivery date or the expiry of the period mentioned in the Order, the Client may, after having unsuccessfully requested HERBARIUM SASU to fulfil its obligation to deliver within a reasonable additional period, cancel the contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in writing on another durable medium.
15.4. Delivery methods: The Products are delivered to the address indicated by the Customer at the time of the Order, or to a relay point.
By selecting the "click&collect" delivery option, the Customer may also collect the Products from a shop. In this case, the Customer must collect the Products within a period of fifteen days from the date of the notice of availability of the Products.
If the Products are not collected within this period, HERBARIUM SASU will be entitled to recover the Products, cancel the Sales Order and keep the sums paid by the Client for the Sales Order as compensation.
When the Product is delivered to the address indicated by the Client by a carrier, it is the Client's responsibility to check the condition of the delivered Product in the presence of the delivery person and, in the event of damage or missing items, to express his/her reservations on the delivery slip or receipt of delivery.

15.7. Delivery and transfer of risk: The risk of loss or damage to the Products is transferred to the Customer at the moment when the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer takes physical possession of the goods, regardless of their nature. The product, which is delivered to the Customer by a carrier depending on the option chosen, travels at the Customer's risk from the moment the goods are handed over to the carrier.
15.8. Retention of title: Ownership of the Product is transferred to the Customer upon full payment of the sale price and related costs.

In this case, the Customer may choose either to terminate the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
Article 17 - Guarantee clauses
17.1. Exoneration clause: Clauses exonerating or limiting the rights granted to Customers under legal guarantees, which are deemed unwritten when they are concluded before any claim on their part, are valid when they are concluded after a claim pursuant to Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code.
17.2. Law applicable to guarantees : The French law applicable to the Contract may not have the effect of depriving the Customer residing in another Member State of the provisions on guarantees granted to him by its national law in application of the Directive of 25 May 1999 on the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees.
Article 18 - Commercial guarantee on plants
In accordance with article L. 217-15 of the French Consumer Code, HERBARIUM SASU guarantees the conformity of the plants with their description on the website and the absence of defects for a period of three (3) months from their delivery.

In the event of non-conformity or defects in the plant purchased by the Client, HERBARIUM SASU undertakes to replace it free of charge, subject to the availability of stocks and, in the event of unavailability, to offer a plant from the equivalent range.
The replaced Plant will be delivered according to the terms and conditions set out in article 15.4 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
After the aforementioned period of three (3) months and up to six (6) months from the date of the Order, the Client will also have the possibility of purchasing a "refill" plant from an equivalent range at a reduced price by using the promotional code provided on request by HERBARIUM SASU's customer service, according to the prices in force at the time of the Order, and subject to the availability of stocks.
Independently of the commercial guarantee, HERBARIUM SASU remains bound by the legal guarantee of conformity mentioned in articles L. 217-4 and following of the consumer code and that relating to the defects of the thing sold, under the conditions provided for in articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the civil code.
Article 19 - Commercial guarantee on plants
In the event of damage caused by a safety defect in the product, the Customer must seek the responsibility of the manufacturer identifiable from the information mentioned on the packaging of the Product.
Article 20 - Penalty clause

Article 21 - Responsibility
HERBARIUM SASU cannot be held responsible in the event of non-performance or poor execution of the Contract due to the Client's actions, or to the insurmountable and unforeseeable actions of a third party to the Contract, or to force majeure.
HERBARIUM SASU cannot be held responsible for the non-conformity of the Products with the legislation of the Client's country, who is responsible for verifying that the product is not forbidden for sale in his country.
The Client alone assumes the risks and perils resulting from the use of the Products ordered on the Internet Site and assumes full responsibility for them.
HERBARIUM SASU cannot be held responsible for any damage or prejudice suffered by the Client or any third party that may result from the use of Products ordered on the Internet Site.
Consequently, the Client undertakes to guarantee, indemnify and relieve HERBARIUM SASU, without limitation of amount, against any claim or action by any natural or legal person against HERBARIUM SASU, as well as their direct or indirect consequences, financial or otherwise, due to the use of the Products ordered on the Internet Site and, in general, due to the non-respect of the obligations to which the Client is bound under the terms of the General Terms of Sale or of the Terms of Use of the Internet Site.
Article 22 - Right of withdrawal
22.1. Application of the right of withdrawal (except for goods likely to deteriorate or expire quickly such as plants):

To exercise his right of withdrawal, the Client must send HERBARIUM SASU a letter addressed to its registered office located at 1 Rue Jean CARASSO - 95870 BEZONS or an e-mail to hello@herbarium.fr indicating his decision to withdraw from the Contract by means of a statement free of ambiguity.

Only products in new condition and complete (with instructions and accessories if applicable), returned in their original packaging, will be accepted. For the return of the product(s) that are not suitable, the Customer shall choose the carrier of his choice and shall be responsible for the packaging and protective measures necessary for the transport of the parcel, in order to avoid any risk of damage. To this end, it is essential that the Customer keeps the Products to be returned in their original packaging and in the state in which they were delivered.
Any request for reimbursement can only be taken into account once the returned Products have been received by HERBARIUM SASU and subject to their good condition. The Products returned incomplete, damaged, soiled by the Customer or entering in the cases of non-application of the right of retraction, cannot be the object of a right of return.
All returns must be notified to HERBARIUM SASU in advance by post to its registered office at 1 Rue Jean CARASSO - 95870 BEZONS or by e-mail to hello@herbarium.fr.
