To purchase Products, you must click on the desired product in the online display area and/or in the brand's website catalog at www.azzafencing.com, then fill out the form accessible in the "my cart" section (mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk). Please carefully review the summary displayed on-screen before confirming your order and proceeding with online payment. Until payment is made, you can cancel the ongoing order or correct errors.

Price

  • Price: Products are supplied at the price mentioned in the catalog on the day of the order. This price is firm and non-revisable. Unless otherwise specified, prices include VAT.
  • Customer's Delivery Costs: Delivery costs are borne by the Customer. They are mentioned in the Cart section before payment, separately from the Product prices. Carriers are chosen by the Company or its suppliers.

Retention of Title

The Company reserves, until full payment, including related late fees and penalties, a property right over the Products enabling them to reclaim them wherever they may be.

Payment Terms

  • Cash Payment: Orders are payable in cash at Azza Fencing's headquarters.
  • Payment Methods: Payments are made in euros at the Company's headquarters by credit card or bank transfer.

Late Payment

Without prejudice to the Company's right to terminate the contract under the conditions provided by law, any late payment automatically incurs late payment interest calculated on the VAT-inclusive amount of the unpaid invoice at the legal rate plus five percent from the day after the invoice's due date.

Delivery

Timeframe: The delivery period is typically 7 working days for mainland France, 10 working days for the EU, Switzerland, the UK, and the overseas departments, and 15 working days for the rest of the world. These periods start from the payment date of the order.

Notes and User Instructions

The delivery or commissioning of the product includes the provision of maintenance instructions.

Transfer of Risks

Any risk of loss or damage to goods is transferred to the Customer when the latter or a third party designated by them, other than the carrier proposed by the Company, physically takes possession of these goods. If exceptionally the Company agrees that the consumer entrusts the delivery of the goods to a carrier other than the one proposed, the risk of loss or damage to the goods is transferred to the Customer upon delivery of the goods to their carrier.

Reservations

During delivery, a written notice is left to the customer, indicating the possibility to make reservations, especially in the event of a defect in the product or failure to provide the instructions.

Delivery Delays

In the event of a delivery delay, the Customer may notify Azza Fencing of the suspension of the possible balance payment and/or terminate their order if, after giving Azza Fencing a reasonable delivery deadline, the delay persists. The Customer can also immediately terminate their order if it is clear that Azza Fencing will not deliver the ordered Product. The contract is considered terminated upon the professional's receipt of the letter or written notice informing them of this termination, unless the Company has performed in the meantime. The Company reimburses the consumer for the total amount paid, no later than fourteen days following the date the contract was terminated.

Complaints

The following advice is important to preserve evidence of any anomalies during the receipt or unpacking of the products.

  • It is recommended to check the number, references, and condition of the products upon receipt and in the presence of the carrier, then express reservations on the delivery or receipt note. If it is not possible to check the products in the presence of the carrier, it is advisable to mark "subject to inspection" on the delivery or receipt forms that may be presented for your signature upon delivery of your order, and immediately after delivery, carefully unpack and check the condition and conformity of the products. It is recommended to inform us upon receipt of the packages and in writing of any defects or non-conformities.
  • It is reminded that in accordance with Article L133-3 of the Commercial Code, transport damage and partial losses must be reported to the carrier by registered letter within three days (excluding public holidays) of delivery, under penalty of forfeiture. It is also reminded that in accordance with Article 1648 of the Civil Code, claims regarding hidden defects must be made within two years from the discovery of the hidden defect.

Right of Withdrawal (Article L221-18 of the Consumer Code)

The Customer has the right to withdraw without giving any reason within fourteen days. The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day the Customer or a third party other than the carrier designated by the Customer physically takes possession of the goods.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must notify Azza Fencing (AZZA FENCING, 28 Avenue des Pépinières, 94260 Fresnes (France), tel +33 7 61 61 65 98, contact@azzafencing.com) of their decision to withdraw through an unambiguous statement (for example, a letter sent by post or email). The Customer can use the withdrawal form template but it is not mandatory. To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that the Customer sends their communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

In case of withdrawal, Azza Fencing refunds to the Customer all payments received, including delivery costs (except for additional costs resulting from the fact that the Customer chose, if applicable, a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method offered by Azza Fencing) without undue delay and in any event, no later than fourteen days from the day Azza Fencing is informed of the decision to withdraw from the contract. Azza Fencing will proceed with the refund using the same means of payment as used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different means; in any case, this refund will not incur any fees for the Customer. Azza Fencing may defer the refund until it has received the goods or evidence of their shipment, with the date of whichever occurs first being considered. The Customer must return or hand over the goods to Azza Fencing (AZZA FENCING, 28 Avenue des Pépinières F94260 Fresnes (France), tel +33 7 61 61 65 98, contact@azzafencing.com) without undue delay and in any event, no later than fourteen days after the Customer has communicated their decision to withdraw from this contract. This deadline is deemed met if the Customer returns the goods before the expiration of the fourteen-day period. The Customer's liability is only engaged in relation to the depreciation of the goods resulting from manipulations other than those necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and proper functioning of these goods.
