Article 1 - Object and scope of application
Any order implies the acceptance without reserve by the purchaser and its full and whole adhesion to the present general conditions of sale, which prevail over any other document, and especially over all general conditions of purchase, except derogatory express and prior agreement of the Akkor International company.
These general conditions of sale apply to all sales by the Akkor International company, unless specific and prior agreement agreed in writing between the parties.
Any other document than the present general conditions of sale and in particular catalogs, prospectuses, advertisements, notices, has only informative and indicative value, not contractual.
Akkor International reserves the right to adapt or modify at any time the terms and conditions of sale, the version applicable to any transaction being the one appearing online on the site www.kozysocks.com at the time of the order.
Article 2 – Customers
The customer asserts to be a natural person over 18 years old and with legal capacity or holder of a parental authorization allowing them to order on the website. When registering the customer's personal data in the "my account" section, the latter must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the mandatory data provided. In case of any mistake in the contact details of the recipient, the Akkor International company cannot be held liable for the impossibility to deliver the product.
Article 3 – Products
The products offered for sale (and therefore with payment obligation) are those described on the online store www.kozysocks.com. Akkor International takes great care in the presentation and description of these products to satisfy the customer's information. However, it is possible that non-substantial errors may appear on the online store, which the customer recognizes and accepts. In case of non-compliance of the product delivered with its description on the online store, the customer may either exercise their right of withdrawal or enforce the guarantee of compliance of the company, which will, if necessary, either exchange or refund the price (in whole or in part) invoiced.
Article 4 – Orders
Ordering on the kozysocks.com website is subject to compliance with the procedure set up by the Akkor International company, concretized by a succession of different steps that the customer must follow to validate his order. The customer will have the opportunity, before finalizing his order, to check its details to express his acceptance. Any order confirmed by the customer constitutes a sales contract and acceptance of all the stipulations herein. A confirmation email summarizing the order (products, price, quantity, etc.) will be sent to the customer by Akkor International. To this end, the customer formally accepts the use of e-mails by Akkor International for the confirmation of the order’s content. The invoices are added in PDF format to the order confirmation e-mail and are made available to the customer on the kozysocks.com website, in the customer's personal account, from the time the order’s payment is validated.
The company Akkor International will refuse any order for a legitimate reason under the code of consumption. For instance, may be considered legitimate a dispute or incident relating to the payment of a previous order or which would contravene the provisions hereof. In this case, Akkor International will inform the customer by e-mail. If the customer does not proceed to the correction of the elements that are erroneous or contrary to these terms and conditions of sale, Akkor International reserves the right not to process the order.
