6.4 Packaging and insurance

Your purchases are packed with the utmost care, using protective materials. The attention we pay to packaging allows us to offer a delivery in the best conditions. The products shipped are insured free of charge against damage and theft for the entire duration of transport. You must therefore make sure of the integrity of your order and all the items that it contains on receipt of the package and in the presence of the person making the delivery in order to issue a complaint if necessary. In the eventuality that you have any doubt about the condition or content of the order, you are obliged to refuse the goods on receipt of the order. Any refused product must be returned to the carrier in its entirety and in its original packaging. Acceptance upon delivery shall also constitute acceptance of its contents and condition.

 

6.5 In case of absence

If you are absent, a calling card will be left in your mailbox. The first time, a telephone number will allow you to set a new delivery time. If by some misfortune, the second attempt fails, you then have a period of 7 calendar days to collect your parcel from your regional post office. After 15 days, the package will be returned to the MATON SPORTS depot.

 

Article 7. Terms and conditions of order

 

Offers are valid while stocks last. In the case of a quotation, the offer will remain valid for one week unless otherwise stipulated on the quotation.

 

 

 

7.1 Product description

The essential characteristics of the product are indicated in the "product sheet" which usually contains a photo of the product and indicates its particularities. Photographs illustrating the products, in support of the text, do not fall within the scope of the contract. If errors have occurred, MATON SPORTS cannot be held responsible in any way. The detailed product sheet is the only contractual source. Manufacturers may change the technical composition of product references without notice.

 

MATON SPORTS is at all times entitled to update or improve its files or to withdraw its products and/or services from sale. You can contact MATON SPORTS to obtain additional information on the products presented via the CONTACT page of our site.

 

7.2 Availability of products

You are informed of the availability of the product directly on the site. However, in case of unavailability of the product ordered, MATON SPORTS can provide you with a product of equivalent quality and price. In this case, if you exercise your retractation right, the return costs will be borne by us. Nevertheless, you still have the possibility to cancel the sale and request a refund. This will be done within a maximum of 7 days from the date of receipt of the product or service. For products not stored in our warehouses, our offers are valid under reserve of availability at our suppliers.

 

7.3 Import restrictions

It is your responsibility to check with the local authority in your country for any restrictions on the import or use of the products or services you plan to order. You acknowledge that the products may contain technology and software subject to the export control laws of the United States and the European Union and the laws of the country where they are delivered or used. You must respect the law. The products may not be sold, rented or transferred to users or countries subject to restrictions, or which would use them for purposes of mass destruction or genocide. You must refer to the regulations in force, which vary regularly depending on the product.

 

7.4 Steps to conclude the contract

At the first Internet order, all new customers must create a "customer account", a "login" and a password will be requested. Each time you confirm an order, you will be redirected to your account via a secure connection that will remind you of the contents of your order. Your order will only be definitively registered once you have filled in the various information and validated it. When you register the order by selecting a method of payment, the sale is deemed to be concluded (agreement on the goods and price). The processing of your order is confirmed by sending an email automatically generated by our website to the email address indicated when creating your customer account.

 

Contractual information will be the subject of a confirmation containing this information at the latest at the time of delivery. MATON SPORTS has the right to cancel or refuse any order from a client with whom there is a dispute regarding the payment of a previous order.

 

 

7.5 Cancellation of the order

The order made on our site is automatically cancelled if payment is not received. To cancel any order, we invite you to contact us either by email or by phone, mentioning the billing name appearing on the order as well as the order number. When the order is prepared, the cancellation can only be made by refusal on your part of the parcel, WITHOUT OPENING IT, sent by MATON SPORTS.

 

It is specified to professionals that no unilateral cancellation of an order on their part will be accepted without the agreement of MATON SPORTS and that orders sent directly by the buyer or which are transmitted by agents representing the seller are only binding on the seller once they have been accepted.

 

7.6 Withdrawal period of the order

The withdrawal period is 14 days, calculated from the day of the actual order. In this case, if the customer has received the goods ordered, he undertakes to return them to Maton Sports, bearing the delivery costs and being responsible for the entirety and quality of the goods returned.

 

Article 8. Method of payment

 

In order to process orders in the shortest possible time and to offer the best service, MATON SPORTS invites the customer to pay the purchase price when placing the order. If the customer renounces to the order, MATON SPORTS is obliged to reimburse the sums paid by the customer, without compensation. The cost of returning the package is at the customer's expense. The purchasing price is paid when the total amount of the order has arrived on the MATON SPORTS bank account.

 

Article 9. Right of cancellation

 

The consumer has the right to notify the seller that he renounces the purchase, without penalties and without giving any reason, within 7 working days from the day following the day of delivery of the product or the conclusion of the service contract. As a reminder of our delivery conditions! Your purchases are packed with the greatest care, using protective materials. The attention we pay to packaging allows us to offer a delivery in the best conditions. The products shipped are insured free of charge against damage and theft for the entire duration of transport. You must therefore ensure the integrity of your order and of all the articles that make it up on receipt of the package and in the presence of the person making the delivery in order to issue a complaint if necessary.

 

MATON SPORTS will only act on the renunciation by the buyer if the original packaging of the product is still intact, in particular if the seal and the product itself have not been used or damaged.

 

The buyer must be notified by email (info@matonsports.eu). On this occasion and as soon as the buyer has respected the deadline as described in the paragraph above, he will be given a return authorization number. In the case of returning a parcel and after having informed MATON SPORTS by email within the time limits described above, the costs of returning the parcel are always at the customer's expense. The customer will be asked to protect the returned items with the utmost care.

 

In order to make your life easier when you return an item, MATON SPORTS offers to reimburse you by transfer to your bank account. To use this convenient, safe and fast service, all you have to do is fill in your bank account number on the packing slip that accompanies the returned items. We will make the transfer as soon as possible (maximum 30 days) after MATON SPORTS has become aware of the intention to renounce and after the products have been returned to MATON SPORTS. The shipping costs of the package will not be refunded. In case of abusive returns, MATON SPORTS has the right to refuse a subsequent order. If you have any questions about the terms and conditions of renunciation, simply send an e-mail to info@matonsports.eu .

 

Article 10. Guarantees and after-sales service

Most of our articles sold are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity, the legal guarantee for hidden defects and the manufacturer's guarantee, the scope and duration of which differ according to the products and brands. In the case of an exchanged order, the shipping costs of the item(s) shall be borne by the customer. However, if the guarantee of conformity is applicable to the returned product(s), all costs related to this return will be refunded to the customer. Whatever the problem concerning your article is, it is imperative to join with the defective appliance and its packaging a copy of the invoice, the warranty card (present in the box) and the return form. Please note that the guarantee does not apply to the repair of damage resulting from a cause external to the product or a fault of the customer resulting for example: use or installation that does not comply with the manufacturer's specifications, use that is detrimental to the proper conservation of the product, commercial or collective use, use of unsuitable accessories, etc.

 

Therefore, we invite you to carefully consult the instructions for use supplied with the products.

If the products do not comply with the information given when the products are presented on the site or have hidden defects, they will be replaced or reimbursed depending on the availability of similar products and the customer's wishes. Items covered by a guarantee will only be taken back if they are accompanied by the delivery note. If the product cannot be replaced due to lack of stock, you will receive a gift voucher for the value of your purchase to be used in the MATON SPORTS shop.

 

Are also excluded from the guarantee the products modified, repaired, integrated or added by the customer or any other person not authorized by the supplier. The guarantee will not apply to apparent defects and defects in conformity of the product for which any complaint must be made by the customer within 7 days of delivery of the products, on pain of forfeiture. The guarantee will not cover products damaged during improper use. In any case, MATON SPORTS cannot be held responsible if the manufacturer refuses to apply its guarantee for the reasons explained above.

 

In order to facilitate the after-sales service of certain products, MATON SPORTS will redirect its customers to service points as close as possible to the customer's home. All returns must be previously authorized by MATON SPORTS with the attribution of a return number. The customer must therefore make a request to info@matonsports.eu after written approval from MATON SPORTS.
