Users can place an order under the instructions provided in the Store.

Thus, Users can select the Product of their choice from the catalog offered. Once the Product is chosen, Users can validate their order so that a summary including the selected Product and its characteristics is displayed.

Before proceeding to payment, Users have the option to check a box indicating their agreement to receive information about news and offers from WeWard partners (the Suppliers) as well as emails offering commercial offers from said partners.

Finally, after entering their delivery information if necessary, and the data related to their means of payment, Users confirm their intention to proceed with the secure payment of their order by checking the box "PAY MY ORDER."

Article 4 : Product Delivery

4.1. Delivery Conditions

The User acknowledges that WeWard has, at its discretion, depending on the Product and its supplier, two distinct delivery methods:

- Delivery carried out directly by WeWard (Post, carrier, or other provider);

- Delivery carried out by the Supplier directly (according to the provider chosen by said Supplier).

Delivery is understood as the deposit of the order at the doorstep of the address indicated by the User, in their presence or in the presence of an authorized person to receive it. WeWard, the Supplier, or the provider responsible for delivery cannot be held responsible for delivering the order to a third party present at the delivery address indicated.

In the event of delivery to a location that is difficult for the delivery person to access, the User agrees to take the necessary precautions to allow the delivery person to receive the order.

The receipt of each order is ensured by home delivery to the address indicated in the order confirmation email and provided during the order validation.

It is the User's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the delivery information entered before confirming the order. In the event of an error in the labeling of the User's coordinates, neither WeWard nor the Supplier or provider in charge of delivery can be held responsible for the inability to deliver the order.

4.2. Delivery time

The delivery date depends on the type of Product chosen and the providers of the Supplier. The User understands that the Application does not allow them to choose a delivery day or time slot.

WeWard undertakes to make its best efforts to ensure delivery, directly or through a provider, within a reasonable period that shall not exceed thirty (30) days.

In the event that this delivery time cannot be met, WeWard will inform the User by email and undertake to refund the amount of the order, after the aforementioned thirty (30) day period has elapsed.

4.3. Transfer of Risks

In accordance with Article L216-4 of the French Consumer Code, the risks of loss or damage to the Product are transferred to the consumer at the moment when the latter or a third party designated by them (other than the proposed carrier) physically takes possession of the Product.

- Take photos of their order and the damaged Product;

Article 6 : Warranties

6.1. Legal Warranties

WeWard is bound by the legal warranty of conformity under the conditions of articles L.217-4 and following the French Consumer Code and the warranty against hidden defects under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 and following the French Civil Code.

You have a period of two years from the delivery of the product to obtain the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity in case of non-compliance. During this period, you are only required to establish the existence of the non-compliance and not the date of its occurrence.

When the sales contract of the product provides for the provision of digital content or digital services continuously for a period exceeding two years, the legal warranty applies to this digital content or digital service throughout the planned supply period. During this period, you are only required to establish the existence of the non-compliance affecting the digital content or digital service and not the date of its occurrence. For these goods, the legal warranty of conformity entails an obligation for the professional to provide all necessary updates to maintain the conformity of the goods.

You have the right to choose between repairing or replacing the product within thirty days following your request, at no cost and without major inconvenience to you.

Any product repaired under the legal warranty of conformity benefits from an extension of this warranty for six (6) months.

If you request the repair of the goods, but replacement is imposed on you, the legal warranty of conformity is renewed for two years from the date of replacement of the product.

You may obtain a price reduction by keeping the product or terminate the contract by receiving a full refund upon return of the product if:

(i) The professional seller refuses to repair or replace the product;

(ii) Repair or replacement of the product occurs after thirty days;

(iii) Repair or replacement of the product causes major inconvenience to you, especially if you permanently bear the costs of returning or removing the non-compliant product, or if you bear the costs of installing the repaired or replaced product;

(iv) The non-compliance of the product persists despite the unsuccessful attempt by the seller to bring it into conformity.

You also have the right to a price reduction of the product or to terminate the contract when the non-compliance is so serious that a price reduction or termination of the contract is immediate. You are not required to request repair or replacement of the product beforehand.

You do not have the right to terminate the sale if the non-compliance is minor.

Any period of immobilization of the product for repair or replacement suspends the warranty that remained in force until the delivery of the repaired product.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.

A seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of 300,000 euros, which can be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).

You also benefit from the legal warranty against hidden defects in accordance with Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles you to a price reduction if the product is retained or to a full refund upon return of the product.

6.2. Commercial Warranties Offered by the Supplier

In certain cases, a commercial warranty may be offered to the User.

If this is the case, it will be indicated in the Product description concerned as well as on the invoice of the Product issued under the conditions provided for in Article 3.3.

The User must exercise their right exclusively with the Supplier or the manufacturer, under the terms and conditions of the commercial warranty provided by the latter. The contact details of the Supplier or manufacturer are transmitted by WeWard.

Article 7 : Personal Data

When purchasing at the Store, User data is subject to the processing of personal data.

To learn more about this processing, WeWard invites its Users to refer to its "Privacy Policy" also available on the WeWard website and the Application.

The data necessary for the delivery of the Product will be transferred to WeWard, the Supplier, and the delivery service for this sole purpose.

Additional data provided at the time of ordering is used to enrich the User's personal space. This data may be modified or deleted by the User in their personal space.

Article 8 : Intellectual Property

All graphic elements, texts, logos, distinctive signs, or any combination of these elements presented in the Store are protected by intellectual property law.

They may not be reproduced, copied, modified, or commercially exploited without the author being subject to prosecution.

Article 9 : Formation of the contract and evidence

The 'validation click' on "pay now" constitutes proof of the formation of the sales contract. This electronic validation between the parties has the same value as a handwritten signature. Clicking on the box announcing the acceptance of the Terms and Conditions of Sale also constitutes proof of acceptance without reservation of these Terms.

It is recommended to print a copy of these Terms and keep it.

The computerized records, kept in the computer systems of WeWard under reasonable security conditions, will be considered as evidence of communication, orders, and payments between the parties.

The archiving of orders and invoices is carried out on a reliable and durable medium that can be produced as evidence.

Article 10 : Liability

10.1. Liability Regarding Products

The Products offered to the User are those listed in the catalog published on the Application within the limits of available stocks.

Each Product is presented with a photograph and a description established by WeWard. The descriptions are intended to present the User with the essential characteristics of the Products before placing the final order and cannot in any case engage the liability of WeWard.

If certain Virtual Products were located in potentially dangerous or difficult-to-access locations, by using these Virtual Products, you assume full responsibility for the associated risks including but not limited to accidents potentially caused by inappropriate or dangerous location of a Virtual Product.

WeWard, its employees, Suppliers, service providers, or subcontractors cannot be held liable for any incident occurring during the purchase, search, or use of these Virtual Products.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and release WeWard, its employees, suppliers, service providers, or subcontractors from any liability in the event of a claim by you or any third party, damages, debts, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses resulting from the purchase, search, or use of WeWard's Virtual Products.

This disclaimer of liability includes any accident caused as a result of the purchase, use, or search of Virtual Products, whether on foot, motorized, or in all types of places, private or public.

Article 11 : Force Majeure

WeWard is exempt from liability if the non-performance or improper performance of these Terms is caused by the occurrence of a force majeure event as defined by article 1218 of the French Civil Code and jurisprudence.

Article 12 : Applicable law and dispute resolution

These Terms are subject to French law and each purchase is subject to the Terms in force on the day of use.

In the event of a dispute or claim, Users may contact the competent customer service offered by WeWard by email: contact@wewardapp.com to seek an amicable solution.

Under Article L. 612 – 1 of the French Consumer Code, Users are offered the possibility of using a mediator free of charge for the amicable resolution of any dispute with the Company.

Users are invited to contact the Company to make their request so that the Company can provide them with the contact details of the mediation body and the specific conditions for resorting to this mediation procedure.

Users can also consult the European platform for online dispute resolution.

In the absence of an amicable solution between the parties, French courts will have jurisdiction to hear the dispute.
