These general terms and conditions (T&Cs) apply to the sale of any products or services presented on the website www.maxicoffee.com .

For the purposes of these T&Cs, the following definitions apply:

• "Customer" either a Consumer or a Professional.
• "Consumer" any natural person, legally adult and capable, acting for purposes that do not fall within the scope of their commercial, industrial, artisanal, liberal or agricultural activity.
• "Professional" any natural or legal person, public or private, acting for purposes that fall within the scope of their commercial, industrial, artisanal or agricultural activity, including when acting in the name or on behalf of another professional.

The Customer is invited to download the T&Cs or receive them by email before finalising their order. When the Customer places an order, they expressly acknowledge having previously read these T&Cs. A copy of the T&Cs in PDF format will also be sent to them by email with confirmation of their order. These general terms and conditions may be modified at any time, without notice by the company Maxicoffee Online; modifications are only applicable to orders made after the date of their implementation. The T&Cs are permanently accessible on the website www.maxicoffee.com in formats that allow printing and/or downloading (PDF), so that the Customer can reproduce or save them.

4.1 : Price

The prices are displayed in euros (€) including all taxes and excluding shipping costs. They are subject to French value added tax (except in the cases provided for in Article 262 ter I of the French General Tax Code (CGI) and/or intended for certain Customers due to their geographical location); any change in the legal rate of this tax will be reflected in the price of the products presented on the www.maxicoffee.com website on the date stipulated by the applicable legal or regulatory text. Prices are subject to change at any time, including due to variations in supplier prices, introductory offers, promotions or discounts. Products are invoiced based on current prices at the time the order is confirmed.

Any order implies a payment obligation on behalf of the Customer.

4.2 : Shipping Costs

The contribution to shipping costs varies according to the carrier selected by the Customer when ordering; its amount is indicated before the confirmation of the order. Shipping costs shall not be refunded if an order is cancelled after it has been dispatched (except for the exceptions mentioned in article 17 below for Consumers), and shall, therefore, be deducted from the amount of the refund made by Maxicoffee Online, which shall take effect within 14 days of the cancellation. The contribution to shipping costs may be fully or partially covered by the Maxicoffee Online on an ad hoc basis.

4.3 : Availability

Product and price offers are valid as long as they are visible on the website.

The availability times mentioned in the product descriptions are expressed in working days (no shipping: Saturday, Sunday and public holidays) and allow the Customer to estimate their expected delivery date. For example, 'IN STOCK - Shipped within 24 hours' means that a product ordered on Monday will normally be shipped on Tuesday and the final delivery date will depend on the selected carrier and the country of delivery.

In the particular case of one or more products being definitively unavailable, the Maxicoffee Online shall inform the Customer and offer them an appropriate alternative solution. Definitive unavailability may result in the cancellation and refund of the order.

In the event of the temporary unavailability of a product, Maxicoffee Online shall inform the Customer of the new delivery times applied by the suppliers and/or manufacturers of the product(s) concerned as soon as possible. If the product(s) remains unavailable for an excessively long period, Maxicoffee Online shall endeavour to offer the Customer an equivalent product or, failing that, shall cancel the order and provide the Customer with a refund.

4.4 : Compliance

The products offered for sale by Maxicoffee Online comply with the standards applicable in France. The Customer is the sole judge of the compatibility of the products ordered with the equipment already in their possession. The Customer's full or partial inability to use the materials ordered by them cannot in any case give rise to any refund or compensation from Maxicoffee Online.

4.5 : Vouchers

In the context of "gift offers" associated with the sale of a product offering several vouchers, such vouchers cannot be combined on the same order.

For example, if the Customer has two vouchers as part of the "gift offer", they can only be used on two different orders, and cannot be combined on a single future order.

The vouchers offered with this type of offer have a maximum validity period of four months from the date of the purchase that triggered them.

4.6 : Price reduction announcements and comparison prices

Price Reduction Announcement
For any price reduction announcement for a product offered on the Website, the reference price, referred to as "former price" corresponds by default to the lowest previous price charged by Maxicoffee Online for all consumers on this Website over the thirty (30) days preceding the application of the price reduction.

Comparison Price
For certain products offered on the Website, Maxicoffee Online may mention, independently of any possible price reduction, a "comparison price" corresponding to one of the following prices:

Price recommended by the brand/manufacturer : price at which the manufacturer or their official representative (importer, distributor…) sells the product concerned or the price recommended by them. This price is updated when the manufacturer or its official representative communicates a new recommended price for the product concerned.

Competitor price : sales price of the product concerned on a panel of at least two e-commerce sites competing with Maxicoffee Online.

Unit price : sales price of the product concerned per unit, in the case of a sale of the product by lot.

5.1 : Order

The products offered for sale are presented on the website www.maxicoffee.com , they are displayed via lists and are accompanied by more complete descriptions available in “product sheets”.

• To purchase a product, the visitor must click on the "Add to basket" button. The product is thus added to the shopping basket (which may contain other products previously added to the basket)
• From the basket page, the visitor must click on the "choose delivery" button to proceed to the next step,
• At the next step, the visitor must log in (for a customer who has already registered) or create an account (for a new customer) to proceed to the next step,
• The “Choose your delivery method” step allows the identified visitor to select their delivery method. The visitor must then click on "Continue to payment" to proceed to the payment step
• The “Choose your payment method” step allows the identified visitor to obtain the detailed summary of the order and select their method of payment. Before validating the payment method, the visitor has the option of stopping the purchasing process and returning to their shopping basket without the order being confirmed.
• Depending on the method of payment chosen, the buyer is informed of the information required to validate their payment.

5.2 : Payment

The Customer expressly declares that they have all the necessary authorisations for the purposes of using the payment method chosen during the validation of their order. They also undertake to ensure that they have sufficient funds before placing an order otherwise Maxicoffee Online will be unable to proceed with the delivery of the products ordered.

Maxicoffee Online also reserves the possibility of suspending or cancelling any order or delivery in the event of a refusal to issue payment authorisation by the financial bodies solicited online according to the payment method chosen by the Customer. Likewise, it reserves the right to refuse to accept an order from or make a delivery to a Customer with whom a serious dispute is in progress.

The Customer is also informed that the Maxicoffee Online may carry out the analysis and/or verification of the orders made for anti-fraud purposes and, in this context, it reserves the possibility of asking the Customer for any documents it deems useful. At the end of this procedure, it reserves the right to suspend or cancel any order or delivery, even in the event of payment authorisation being issued by the financial bodies concerned, in cases where the analysis and/or verifications give rise to a suspicion that the order has been made in breach of the rights of a third party. Furthermore, the company shall not be held liable in the event of embezzlement or fraudulent use of any payment method that is detected by this analysis and/or verification procedure.

The Customer's bank details are, therefore, never in the possession of Maxicoffee Online; their conservation and the maintenance of their integrity are, therefore, the responsibility of the banking establishment.

Once the payment has been validated by the Customer on the banking establishment's secure server, the Customer may decide whether to return to the website www.maxicoffee.com or not. Once the payment has been validated, the Maxicoffee Online shall send the Customer a summary of their order by email including the details of the items ordered, the total price including VAT (except for the cases provided for in Article 262 ter I of the CGI), including delivery costs, and the predicted delivery times.

The Customer can pay for their order by PayPal, bank transfer, or bank card.

The following bank cards are accepted: Visa and other Carte Bleue, MasterCard and eCartebleue.

The website www.maxicoffee.com is subject to a security system.

Maxicoffee Online has adopted the SSL encryption procedure and has also reinforced all scrambling and encryption processes to protect sensitive data related to payment methods as effectively as possible.

During a purchase, payment is made using the secure "Be2bill" system. The Customer's bank details are encrypted and thus fully protected against any form of hacking.

In the same way, the bank card number is at no time visible and/or kept by Maxicoffee if the Customer decides, when making an order or directly from their account, to save a payment card for future purchases; their bank information shall remain completely private.

If the delivery address is different from the billing address, the Customer should provide two separate addresses on the order form. It is also up to the Customer to provide all relevant delivery information when placing their order to allow carriers to proceed with the delivery. In the event of incorrect or incomplete information that makes it impossible for the carrier to proceed with the delivery, a second delivery will be made after the return of the goods to Maxicoffee Online by the carrier, subject to the Customer paying the new delivery costs in advance.
• The choice of the destination country must be made when ordering. Any change of destination resulting in the publication of a specific document(s) will be invoiced at a flat rate of €50.

6.2 : Delivery - Absence

The Customer is encouraged to carry out an examination of the physical condition of the parcel delivered by the carrier as well as an examination of its contents in the presence of the carrier, including when the parcel is delivered to a parcel relay. In the event of absence, and according to the carrier selected by the Customer when ordering, the carrier shall leave a notice in the Customer's mailbox inviting them to collect the products at a given address. In the event that the Customer refuses delivery, the latter will be refunded the amount of their order minus the return costs borne by Maxicoffee Online.

6.3 : Delay - Loss

In the event of non-compliance with carrier deadlines, the Customer should first contact the carrier concerned to verify that the products ordered are not on hold. In the event of a significant delay or difficulty in locating the products ordered, the Customer may contact Maxicoffee Online, which will open an investigation to attempt to locate the package that may have been lost by the carrier.

The Customer must contact Maxicoffee Online by clicking here and provide all useful information likely to aid in locating the products ordered through the carrier and, in particular, the purchase order.

Minimum data relating to the civil status and contact details of the Customer are essential for the delivery of the order and the establishment of the invoice (full name, contact details for invoicing and delivery, telephone number) as well as for any anti-fraud checks.

For detailed information, the Customer is invited to consult Maxicoffee Online's legal notices .

If one or more of the stipulations of these T&Cs are held to be invalid or declared as such pursuant to a law or regulation, or following a ruling that has become final by a competent court, the other stipulations shall retain all their force and scope. The fact that Maxicoffee Online or the Customer does not invoke a breach of one of the obligations arising from these T&Cs or tolerates a situation shall not have the effect of granting the other party acquired rights. Such tolerance can in no way be interpreted as a waiver of the assertion of the rights in question.

Force majeure occurs when an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not have been reasonably foreseen when the contract was concluded and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the performance of its obligation by the debtor. In particular, the occurrence of restrictions (for example, administrative police measures, lockdown, curfew) resulting from the COVID-19 epidemic or another epidemic or revolution, war, demonstrations disrupting production or trade in Europe, shall be considered a case of force majeure. The parties agree that cases of force majeure justify the suspension of their obligations, without liability on either side. If the case of force majeure lasts for more than three months, either party may terminate the contract without notice by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, without either party being considered as at fault.

These T&Cs are subject to French law, subject to the public order provisions of national law that are more favourable to the customer.

Any dispute must be subject to an attempt at amicable settlement.
