       ARTICLE 1: Purpose


Article 1.1: The Contract
These Terms and Conditions set out the terms of sale between Tape à l'oeil and the Visitor, from ordering through to services, via payment and delivery. They govern all stages necessary in order to place an order and ensure that any such orders are followed up between the contracting parties on the www.t-a-o.com website.
Any order placed shall constitute an implicit acceptance by the Visitor of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, it being specified that the Parties agree that their relations shall be governed exclusively by these Terms and Conditions, which shall constitute the Contract.
Tape à l'oeil reserves the right to adapt or modify these General Terms and Conditions of Sale on reasonable grounds at any time.
In the event of any modification, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale applied to each order shall be those in force at the moment of that order.
However, if any term or condition is missing, it shall be deemed to be governed by the accepted practices of the mail order industry as recognised by companies based in France.
Article 1.2: Visitor
The Visitor is defined as any real person visiting or making a purchase via the www.t-a-o.com website.
Article 1.3: Capacity
The Visitor declares that they have the capacity to conclude this Contract, i.e. that they are of legal age and are not under legal guardianship.
Article 1.4: Intended use
The Visitor declares that they will refrain from purchasing Tape à l'oeil products and items with a view to reselling them.

       ARTICLE 2: Our offer


www.t-a-o.com is a site intended to offer for sale a range of clothing products, fashion accessories, gifts and electronic gift vouchers.
The products and items offered for sale are described and presented as accurately as possible.
However, if any errors or omissions do occur in the presentation of these products and items, Tape à l'oeil shall not be held liable for this, since the photographs are not contractually binding.
All offers for products and items and all delivery methods are valid throughout the world, while stocks last.

       ARTICLE 3: Availability


The offers of products and items are valid as they appear on the www.t-a-o.com website and while stocks last.
Upon receiving an order from the Visitor, Tape à l'oeil shall check whether the product(s) and item(s) ordered are in stock.
Any claim by the Visitor pertaining to an order for an unavailable item shall be deemed unfounded.
In any event, Tape à l'oeil undertakes to inform by e-mail any Visitor who has placed an order for an unavailable item and to provide a refund for that item as soon as possible.
In the event that one of the products or items in your order is permanently discontinued, this shall not affect the dispatch of the rest of your order.

       ARTICLE 4: Our prices


The prices of the products and items on the www.t-a-o.com website are given in euros including tax and include VAT at the applicable rate on the date of the order. They are guaranteed subject to any typographical or printing errors.
These prices exclude the fixed amount payable for shipping costs on the date of the order (cf. Article 8.2).
Tape à l'oeil reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but undertakes to apply the prices in force and displayed to the Visitor whenever the latter places an order.
The VAT included is French VAT at the applicable rate for the products and items concerned. If the rate of this VAT is modified, these changes may be passed on to the prices of the products and items without prior notice.
If one or more taxes are imposed or either increased or decreased, this change may be passed on to the sale prices of the products and items in the catalogues and sales documents.

       ARTICLE 5: Orders


Any order placed shall constitute express and irrevocable acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the products available for sale.
The Visitor states that he has acknowledged and accepts irrevocably these General Terms and Conditions of Sale before placing his order. Confirmation of the order thus constitutes acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
In order to enable the Visitor to review their order before confirming it, Tape à l'oeil has created screens for confirming and accepting each order. Orders will not be recorded until final acceptance has been given via the payment screen for the order (payment by credit card or by voucher). As of the moment that final acceptance is clicked, orders shall be deemed irrevocable. An e-mail will be sent to the Visitor as soon as each order is received. This e-mail will confirm that the customer's order has been received by Tape à l'oeil. It does not confirm that the product is available.

       ARTICLE 6: Payment


The Visitor may pay by credit card or by electronic gift voucher, by entering the code appearing on the voucher directly on the www.t-a-o.com site. No other forms of payment are accepted.
Tape à l'oeil has implemented the technical setup necessary to secure orders and the payments associated therewith made on its site by the Visitor (cf. Article 7).
Article 6.1: Payment by credit card on the site
When confirming his order, the Visitor provides the number of his credit card, the expiry date and the cryptogram composed of the last three digits appearing on the back of the card.
The Visitor's account will be debited by Tape à l'oeil when the Visitor confirms his order.
Article 6.2: Payment by electronic gift voucher.
Holders of electronic gift vouchers need only enter the 'gift' number they have received by e-mail from Tape à l'oeil.
Article 6.3: Non-payment
Tape à l'oeil reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to meet an order placed by a Visitor who has not paid whether in full or in part for any previous order or against whom legal proceedings are pending.

       ARTICLE 7: Payment security


Article 7.1: Secure payment
Visitor paying by credit card will be requested to enter their card number, the expiry date and the last three figures appearing on the back of the card. Contact will then be made with various organisations responsible for payment authorisation to verify the data in order to prevent abuse and fraud. The server is in encrypted mode for this process and all information is transmitted in encoded form.
No data is transmitted unencrypted via the internet.
In any event, provision by the Visitor of his card number and final acceptance of his order by him shall constitute proof of the integrity of the order and of the fact that the sums due in the performance of that order are payable.
Such confirmation shall constitute a signature and the express acceptance of all operations carried out on the Site.
Article 7.2: Security provisions.
The website www.t-a-o.com uses the secure payment service provided by Société Générale in order to guarantee secure payments. This service incorporates the SSL security standard.
Confidential data (16-digit credit card numbers and expiry dates) are transmitted directly in encrypted form to the Société Générale server without passing via the physical channels of the www.t-a-o.com server. When an order is confirmed, the payment request is routed in real time to the Société Générale secured remote payment management system. This system sends a request for authorisation to the credit card network. The remote payment management system then issues an electronic certificate.

       ARTICLE 8: Delivery


The Visitor can choose between having their order delivered to their home address, to another address or to one of our relay stations.
By post: to home address or another address (to be entered when placing the order): If the Visitor is not at home, a delivery note will be left in the letterbox.
In one of our relay stations: valid proof of identity is required in order to collect parcels from relay stations. Failure to provide such proof will mean that the parcel will not be released.
Article 8.1: Delivery periods
