§ 1 Area of Jurisdiction, Definitions of Terms
(1) The following General Terms and Conditions apply to all business dealings between you as customer and ourselves, LES ACTEURS DE L’OMBRE PRODUCTIONS (hereafter also referred to as “LES ACTEURS DE L’OMBRE” or “LADLO”), which are initiated and concluded via our online shop. That version of our General Terms and Conditions which is valid at the time of ordering shall be decisive. Any deviating conditions of the customer will not be recognized unless LES ACTEURS DE L’OMBRE has explicitly agreed to their validity.
(2) The goods and services offered in the LES ACTEURS DE L’OMBRE online shop are aimed at consumers and entrepreneurs alike as long as they are the end consumer. Within the meaning of these terms and conditions, (i) a “consumer” means every natural person who enters into the legal contract for purposes that are predominantly outside his trade, business or profession (French Legal Code) and (ii) an entrepreneur means a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who or which, when entering into the legal contract, acts in exercise of his or its trade, business or profession.
§ 2 Completion of Purchase Agreement
(1) The goods and services offered on our website do not represent the conclusion of an agreement, but are solely an invitation to place an order.
(2) By placing an order, you submit to us an offer to complete a purchase or service agreement. Should goods be supplied, then an agreement materializes at the time of dispatching the ordered goods to you. Confirmation of the receipt of your order does not constitute acceptance of your offer. It merely serves to inform you that your order has been received.
(3) The text of the agreement will be stored by LES ACTEURS DE L’OMBRE. The language of the agreement is determined by the language in which you have logged onto the website (English, or French (coming soon)).
§ 3 Consumer’s Right of Withdrawal, Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
(1) As consumer, you are entitled to right of cancellation. The prerequisites of this right of cancellation and the legal effects thereof are set out in the following Instructions for Cancellation.

Instructions on the right of withdrawal Right of withdrawal: You have the right to withdraw this agreement within fourteen days without providing a reason for doing so. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last item of goods. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Les Acteurs De l’Ombre Productions – Gerald Milani, 3 Bis B, Route d’Ancenis 44330 Vallet FRANCE – email: jean@lesacteursdelombre.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post, fax or email). To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired. Effects of withdrawal If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. You shall send back or hand over the goods to us undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The dead-line is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. |
