ARTICLE 5 : INFORMATION ON THE PRODUCTS
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCTS
The information, characteristics, photographs and graphics presented on the sites or in the emails sent by v are given only on a purely indicative basis and for the major part are given by the suppliers. In particular, the difference in perception of the forms and the colors between the photographs or graphics presented and the products cannot engage the responsibility of Bal Paré. Bal Paré will make its best efforts to ensure that the photographic representation of the products on the www.balpare.fr site is as faithful as possible. It is nevertheless possible that the perception of the products does not correspond completely to the products. The products are sometimes presented in photographs with other products. The description will mention what does or does not form part of the product.
Bal Paré will not accept any responsibility for any indirect loss connected to present facts, in particular, with regards to a trading loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, damage or expenses, which may occur because of the purchase of the products. Bal Paré cannot be held responsible for any losses of data, files or of the damage defined in the preceding paragraph.
AVAILABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS
Bal Paré is committed to delivering the orders received only within the limit of the stocks of the product available or within the limit of the stocks available from its suppliers. In the absence of availability of a product or products, Bal Paré is committed to informing the Customer as quickly as possible. Bal Paré carries out very frequent updates of availabilities, but cannot be held responsible if the stock is no longer the same as that which is indicated. More precise information can be given to the Customer by telephone and email.
Some products may be available to order. In this case, it will be listed as "available to order" subject to a manufacturing time that can vary from one to four weeks.
Thus, Products may appear with the mention of delivery times, such as "in stock" or "immediate", "4 to 8 days", "1 to 2 week", "4 to 6 weeks", "Product not available" etc.
Delivery times indicated in the product page details are estimated times when the product(s) are not available in Bal Paré stocks. They may thus be susceptible to variations for which the Customer will be informed by Bal Paré in his order confirmation in the event of a minor delay or by email in the case of a more prolonged delay.
If Bal Paré cannot obtain an ordered product from its suppliers, the company will notify the customer of the expected delay by email. The Customer in turn can either ask for the cancellation of the order with a refund of payment within 14 days, or the exchange of the product not available for another product. No cancellation penalty will be applied for such an order cancellation. No cancellation compensation (other than the full repayment of the Order) can be demanded, such an unavailability having resulted from a delay in updating this unavailability.
Bal Paré cannot be held accountable for the non-fulfillment of an agreed contract in the case of the product being out-of-stock or unavailable, of causes beyond control, of disruptions caused by partial or all-out strikes, in particular of the postal services, transport, and communications, flooding and fires.
ARTICLE 6 : PRICES
Prices are indicated in Euros and are inclusive of tax, and are applicable only on the date of the confirmation of order sent by the Customer. On an indicative basis, the prices on the site also appear in dollars and pounds sterling, but the price to be paid is in Euros and is systematically indicated in a clear way before the confirmation of the order.
Since the prices charged by Bal Paré 's suppliers are in constant evolution, the prices posted on the site are also likely to be modified constantly.
The prices do not take account of delivery charges, gift wrapping, possible promotional offers and personal reductions, which will be indicated before the final confirmation of the order.
The prices take into account the French VAT applicable on the day of the ordering, and any change of the statutory rate of VAT will be automatically reflected in the price of the products presented on the site, at the date stipulated by the decree of application. However the prices cannot be modified once the Customer has placed his order. In the same way, if one or more taxes or contributions, in particular environmental tax is suddenly created or modified, whether it rises or falls, such a change will be reflected in the selling price of the articles present on the www.balpare.fr site.
For export sales, prices are shown from France. The client is responsible for customs fees, the payment of various duties and taxes.

ARTICLE 9 : RECOMMEND-A-FRIEND REFERRAL PROGRAM
Bal Paré makes it possible for its Customers to recommend one or more people of their entourage. The Referral program consists in encouraging members of the site who wish to recommend the site to other people who are not yet members as Recommenders, so that they in turn can discover the Bal Paré universe. The people recommended become Recommendees, and in turn can also become Recommenders. It should be noted that a Recommendee can only be connected with one Recommender.
To establish a referral relationship, the Recommendee must imperatively register the email of his Recommender during his registration in order to take advantage of a sales vouchers of 15.00€ on his first order. Otherwise, he will lose the advantages related to the referral. A referral relationship is validated when a Recommendee registers as a member of the site (he cannot already be a member) and when his first order is invoiced within 12 months following the sending of the first email inviting him to register on the site. If the first order takes place more than 12 months after the sending of the first invitation email of the Recommender, no benefit will be gained by the latter.
The Recommender is informed by email each time a validated Referral relation is credited, which gives him the right to a sales voucher of 15.00€ and which is valid without any minimum purchase for 12 months as from the date of emission, on the site www.balpare.fr.
Referral by a Member is limited to a restricted circle (close friends and relatives) who know the Member personally. Consequently, massive recruitment of referrals outside this framework, directly or indirectly for lucrative ends, or even on a purely voluntary basis, by whatever means such as in particular via an Internet site, blog, advertising on Internet, magazines, discussion forums ; using the name of partner brands of the Internet site, or by reproducing part of the catalogue of the Internet site, is strictly prohibited. If such serious irregularities by a Member are brought to the attention of Bal Paré, it may take all necessary measures in order to put an end to these irregularities, including the exclusion of the Member.
Bal Paré reserves the right to make any modification to the referral program, without notice nor obligation to justify its decision and without its responsibility being engaged by this fact.
