In order to meet its customers' requirements to best possible effect, in addition to the shops that it operates and its distribution network, the Company has set in place a distance selling system for a selection of items made available via the Internet.
These standard terms and conditions of sale and use define the parties' respective rights and obligations in the context of the sale of products to customers and use of the Internet site. The customer declares that they have taken due cognizance of the said rights and obligations.

- by accepting orders placed by customers who are natural persons acting in the capacity of a consumer (within the meaning of the law and as understood by case law) and having a usual residence as defined in Article 10 of these standard terms and conditions of sale.

- with a view to delivery to the said natural persons who are customers on their own account, or to any third party of their choosing who also have their usual residence in the same territories and whose capacity is likewise that of a consumer (within the meaning of the law and as understood by case law).

Any sale of items carrying the Company's brand names made via the intermediary of the Website's Customer Service and/or on the Website will be governed by these standard terms and conditions of sale.

The purchaser, before placing their order, shall declare that the purchase of the item(s) being made on the Website is not directly related to their professional activity and will be limited to strictly personal use.

Orders will be accepted within the limit of LOST PARADISE's available stocks. To that end, the customer will be informed on the Website's information page describing each of the items offered for sale, at the time when the order is placed, of the availability of any given Item or, if an Item for sale is temporarily unavailable, advised of the possibility of placing an order with a view to subsequent delivery within the timeframe specified on that occasion.

If, despite Company's vigilance with respect to this, the items ordered are no longer available, the Company will inform the customer to that effect by any means open to it (telephone call or email) as soon as possible, and will refund the price invoiced by crediting the sum in question to the customer's bank account.

Article 5: Ordering procedure

The taking of orders on the Website is subject to strict compliance with the procedures described hereinafter, which are also formalized by a succession of different screens on which are displayed the successive stages which the customer must imperatively go through in order to validate their order.

A - Stage one: Selection of Items by the customer.

On the Website, the customer selects, inputs and validates the identification and quantity of the Items that they wish to order (whose availability will be confirmed where necessary by the Company); the said articles will be added to their "Shopping Basket".

B - Stage two: Verification of the Items selected.

The customer may freely modify online their Shopping Basket consisting of the Items they have selected, remove an item initially selected, change the quantities ordered or add another item by clicking on the corresponding elements placed at their disposal within the Shopping Basket. The price of the Items, as defined in Article 7 hereinafter, will be automatically displayed In the Shopping Basket.

C - Stage three: Confirmation of the Items selected and validation of the order.

Once the customer has finished making their selection and wishes to validate the content of their Shopping Basket, they must identify themselves: if they already have a customer account with the Company, they will do so by means of their email address (login) and their password; if they do not already have a customer account with the Company, they will identify themselves by their name, the address of their usual residence, at which address the order will be invoiced to them, and their phone number. The customer must also validate: the delivery address for the order, the amount of the postage costs for the order being specified at this time, and lastly the payment method chosen. Once all this information has been duly entered and validated, the price of the Items, as defined in Article 7 hereinafter, plus the postage costs will be automatically displayed. After providing their credit card number, in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 below, the customer should then click on the "ORDER" button with a view to the debiting of their bank account. The authorization to debit their bank account issued by the customer's bank will then be displayed.

The customer is advised to record and/or make a paper print-out of this authorization. Once the authorization to debit the customer's bank account has been received from their bank, their "Shopping Basket" will be directly transmitted to the Company's department responsible for preparing orders; the customer's order number will then be displayed. This order will be binding on the customer as from the time when the Company receives the duly filled "Shopping Basket", validated by the display of the page on which the order is recorded.
