 AND

Any natural person, non-merchant, exclusively domiciled in Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, metropolitan France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia or Slovenia and purchasing a product on the site.

For the purposes of this document's application, it is agreed that the Client and FSI shall be referred to jointly as the "Parties" and individually as the "Party". These terms (hereinafter referred to as the "standard terms and conditions of sale") govern product sales made by FSI from the Site.

The applicable standard terms and conditions of sale are those in force on the Site on the date the Client places the order. Any order of a product offered on the Site entails the Client's full and complete acceptance of the standard terms and conditions of sale in force at the time of the placing of his/her order.

 ARTICLE 1: PURPOSE

The purpose of these standard terms and conditions of sale is to define the conditions in which the products are sold by FSI to the Client. Accordingly, they govern the various stages of the making of the sale: from the Client's placing of the order, to the delivery of the product.

ARTICLE 2: PRODUCTS

The products offered for sale by FSI are those featuring on the Site on the date of the Site's consultation. The photographs illustrating the products are not contractual; moreover, each product is covered by a description sheet.

FSI undertakes to deliver products that conform to European provisions governing human safety and health, and legislation governing regulated chemical substances in particular.

The company reserves the right to reject any order from a client with whom there is a dispute.

The offers presented are valid as long as they are announced on the Site and within the limit of available stocks.

The offers presented are valid subject to their availability. Information on the availability of the products is provided to the Buyer at the time the buyer places his/her order.

 In the event that a product is unavailable after an Order has been placed:

- the buyer shall be so informed, by e-mail, as soon as possible.

- the Buyer's Order shall be automatically cancelled and his/her bank account shall not be debited.

 ARTICLE 3: PRICES

Prices are indicated in euros, including all taxes, but excluding delivery costs.

The company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, although products ordered are invoiced at the price in force at the time that the order is registered.

Delivery costs are communicated to the Client on the order summary, prior to

 the order's approval; they include all taxes, except in the case of a special offer. These expenses shall be borne by the Client and/or invoiced over and above the selling price of the products.

The risks of loss and damage of the products shall be transferred after delivery and after the Client's acceptance of the products.

ARTICLE 4: ORDER AND PAYMENT OF THE PRODUCTS

4.1 Placing of the order

- 1: the Client checks the contents of his/her basket; at this time, he/she can modify his/her order (product, size and quantity).

Once the order has been checked and, if applicable, modified, the Client selects his/her country of delivery, after which he/she validates his/her basket in order to finalise his/her order, by clicking on the "access to payment" button.

- 2 : The Client registers on the site or identifies himself.

- 3: The Client checks his/her delivery address, accepts the standard terms and conditions of sale, after which he/she accesses the banking partner's site, by clicking on the "access to payment" button,

- 4 : Entry of bank details: the Client will then access the secure payment screen of FSI's partner.

Payment is made online, by credit card only.

The Client must enter his/her credit card number, his/her card's expiration date, as well as the three numbers on the visual cryptogram present on the back of his/her card. The Client may be asked to provide an additional code via his/her banking institution's platform, in accordance with the 3D Secure system. The Client must enter four figures for payments using the American Express card.

Si le paiement est accepté, le Client sera redirigé vers un écran de confirmation de commande sur le site.

If the payment is accepted, the Client shall be redirected to an order confirmation screen on the site.

If payment is not accepted, the Client shall have up to 3 attempts to re-enter his/her bank details. After the 3rd unsuccesful attempt, the Client shall be redirected to the site where a screen will appear notifying him that his/her payment has been refused.

4.2 Confirmation of the order

Upon acceptance of the Client's payment, the Client shall receive an e-mail confirming his/her order. The confirmation will contain all of the items ordered, and the delivery and billing address.

The Client's validation of the order and the order confirmation sent to the Client by e-mail by FSI, following acceptance of the payment, shall be deemed as the conclusion of a contract of sale between the Parties and acceptance of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The Client having placed an order shall have the right to print his/her invoice by connecting to the Site and accessing the order tracking section provided for this purpose.

FSI reserves the right not to approve the order if the Client has made abnormal or wrongful claims, placed orders that are abnormal in terms of the quantities ordered or exchanged, made abnormal or wrongful returns, or if the price of the products contained in the order is clearly incorrect, or in the event of an existing dispute with the Client.

If the Client has credit on his/her client account and if the amount of this credit is equal to the amount of his/she order, he/she can use this amount at the time of the validation of his/her basket, by entering the corresponding code in the field provided for this purpose. The products shall remain the company's property until the entire amount of the order has been received.

FSI's Customer Service Department is available to the Client for all matters concerning his/her order. The Customer Service Department is available by e-mail and by phone from Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 6:00pm (GMT +1).

4.3. Payment

The price of the products purchased and payable in cash, in full, on the date the Client places the order.

The request for authorisation to debit the card is made at the time of the order's validation on the Site, unless the servers are unavailable. FSI reserves the right to submit a renewed debit authorisation request in the event that the first request was not accepted due to a lack of available servers.

In the event of a payment problem, or any other problem regarding the Client's account, FSI shall be entitled to block the Client's order until the problem has been resolved.

In the case of fraudulent use of his/her credit card on the Site, or if there is a payment problem, the Client is invited to contact FSI by e-mail, at the following address: service.clients@smalto.com.

Transactions executed on the Site are secured by the payment system of FSI's partner, Ogone.

All information exchanged for the purpose of processing the payment is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. These data cannot be detected , intercepted or used by third parties. At no time do the Client's financial data circulate in FSI's computer system.

The payment operator checks to make sure that the connection with the Client's browser is secure before sending the payment form to the banking institution that executes the financial transaction.

As the payment operator is a technical provider, it shall not be responsible for disputes associated with orders that are handled directly by FSI as indicated above, or, if applicable, by the Client's bank.

4.4. Archiving of the order
