CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT
Every Customer of the SAM & LOULOUTE company declares that he has the capacity to enter into a contract based on the conditions described hereafter, ie to be an emancipated minor or to have reached legal majority and not to be protected.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS BY THE CUSTOMER
The present Conditions can be read directly on the www.samlouloute.com site. Upon simple request by the Customer, they can also be sent by electronic mail.
The fact of the Customer's ticking the box "I accept the general sales conditions", before proceeding to secure payment, constitutes an irrevocable acceptance which can only be called into question in the extreme cases considered under the present general sales conditions under the paragraph "right of withdrawal". The Customer confirms by this act that they have read and understood the present Conditions and accept them.
The purchase by telephone also implies the acceptance of these Conditions which they recognize to have read beforehand, and to have understood and accepted the conditions mentioned above.
PLACING OF AN ORDER
The individual Customer can place his order at SAM & LOULOUTE by Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The ordering process is composed of 6 successive stages. Once product selection has been carried out, and the basket validated, the Customer must:
- clearly identify the products selected with the options of colors, sizes, etc… indicated on the www.samlouloute.com site;
- indicates the quantities requested;
- identify himself, either by entering his Customer number and password which are strictly personal to him, or by giving all the information usually requested for an inscription online;
- clearly indicate information required for the delivery. This relates in particular to the precise delivery address as well as possible restrictions of access to the place of delivery (building, floor, door-codes, etc.);
- indicates the selected mode of delivery;
- finally, indicates the selected mode of payment.
Once the mode of payment is selected, the Customer must proceed with payment of his order on the secure server, which will formalize the sales contract with SAM & LOULOUTE in a firm and final manner.
Every order implies acceptance of the prices and description of the products available for sale. Any dispute on this point will come within the framework of a possible exchange and guarantees mentioned below.
In every case, the online completion of the bankcard number and the final validation of the order by the Customer will constitute proof of order and current liability for the sums for the products selected in the order. This validation constitutes signature and acceptance of all the operations carried out on the www.samlouloute.com.
CONFIRMATION OF ORDER
An email is automatically sent to the customer in order to confirm the order provided that the email address indicated in the registration form does not contain an error. The Customer must check the completeness and conformity of the information which he provides to SAM & LOULOUTE. The latter cannot be held responsible for possible errors of data-entry and the consequences in terms of delay or delivery error. In this context, all the expenses engaged for resending will be the responsibility of the Customer.
FOLLOWING OF THE ORDER
The Customer can at any time check the status of his order by consulting the heading "My account" at www.samlouloute.com. This tracking of the order makes it possible for the Customer to know the stage of processing of his order, but also the stage of sending or delivery of his parcels. This delivery tracking is carried out with the deliverers' Internet interface. SAM & LOULOUTE thus cannot be held accountable for the unavailability or errors that may affect the information supplied by its transporters. SAM & LOULOUTE nevertheless endeavors to make this information as clear as possible and to make the transport as reliable as possible with its transporters. The Customer can at any time contact the sales department of SAM & LOULOUTE in order to be informed of the progress of his order.

The filing of the purchase orders and the invoices is carried out on a reliable and durable support which can be produced as proof.
ARTICLE 5: PRODUCT INFORMATION
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
The information, characteristics, photographs and graphics presented on the sites are given only on a purely indicative basis and for the major part are provided by the suppliers. In particular, the difference in perception of the forms and the colors between the photographs or graphics presented and the products cannot engage the responsibility of SAM & LOULOUTE. SAM & LOULOUTE will make its best efforts to ensure that the photographic representation of the products on the www.samlouloute.com site is as faithful as possible. It is nevertheless possible that the perception of the products does not correspond completely to the products. The products are sometimes presented in photographs with other products. The description will mention what does or does not form part of the product.
SAM & LOULOUTE will not accept any responsibility for any indirect loss connected to present facts, in particular, with regards to a trading loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, damage or expenses, which may occur because of the purchase of the products. SAM & LOULOUTE cannot be held responsible for any losses of data, files or for damage defined in the preceding paragraph.
PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
SAM & LOULOUTE is committed to delivering the orders received only within the limit of the availability of product stocks or within the limit of the stocks available from its suppliers. In the absence of availability of a product or products, SAM & LOULOUTE is committed to informing the Customer as quickly as possible. SAM & LOULOUTE reserves the right to modify the selection of products, notably according to the constraints imposed by its suppliers. Availability can vary during the same day according to the level of sales. SAM & LOULOUTE carries out very frequent updates of availabilities, but cannot be held responsible if the stock is no longer the same as that which is indicated. More precise information can be given to the Customer by telephone and email.
The unavailability of a product is mentioned on the product page concerned or in the shopping basket summary.
Delivery times indicated in the product details page are estimated times when the product(s) is/are not available in SAM & LOULOUTE stocks. They may thus be susceptible to variations for which the Customer will be informed by SAM & LOULOUTE in his order confirmation in the event of a minor delay or by email in the case of a more prolonged delay.
If SAM & LOULOUTE cannot obtain an ordered product from its suppliers, the company will notify the customer of the expected delay by email. The Customer in turn can either ask for the cancellation of the order with a refund of payment within 30 days, or the exchange of the unavailable product for another product. No penalty cancellation will be applied for such an order cancellation. No cancellation compensation (other than the full repayment of the Order) can be demanded, even if unavailability has resulted from a delay in updating product availability.
SAM & LOULOUTE cannot be held accountable for the non-fulfillment of an agreed contract in the case of the product being out-of-stock or unavailable, nor for causes beyond their control, disruptions caused by partial or all-out strikes, in particular of postal services, transport, the communications sector, nor for flooding or fires.
ARTICLE 6: PRICES
Prices are indicated in Euros and are inclusive of tax, and are applicable only on the date of the confirmation of order sent by the Customer. On an indicative basis, the prices on the site also appear in dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, Australian Dollar and pounds sterling, but the price to be paid is in Euros and is systematically indicated in a clear way before the confirmation of the order.
Since the prices charged by SAM & LOULOUTE's suppliers are in constant evolution, the prices posted on the site are also likely to be modified constantly.
The prices do not take account of delivery charges, gift-wrapping, possible promotional offers and personal reductions, which will be indicated before the final confirmation of the order.
The prices take into account the UK VAT applicable on the day of the ordering, and any change of the statutory rate of VAT will be automatically reflected in the price of the products presented on the site, at the date stipulated by the decree of application. However the prices cannot be modified once the Customer has placed his order. In the same way, if one or more taxes or contributions, in particular environmental tax is suddenly created or modified, whether it rises or falls, such a change will be reflected in the selling price of the articles present on www.samlouloute.com.
The prices indicated on the website for such orders are free of tax and therefore do not take into account VAT. Nevertheless, these orders are subject to possible taxes and customs fees in the destination country. The prices are shown without taxes. If you are asked to pay customs duties, please note that SAM & LOULOUTE will not refund you for them.
The customer is also responsible for verifying the possibilities of importing ordered items with respect to the governing laws of the destination country. We recommend the customer contact their local customs authorities for further information.
SECTION 7: PAYMENT
MEANS OF PAYMENT
The Customer can pay his order online by bank card: Carte Bleue (Debit card), Visa, Eurocard / MasterCard and American express. The Customer guarantees the SAM & LOULOUTE company that he has the necessary authorization to use the mode of payment chosen by him, during the confirmation of the purchase order. The debit for purchases on the customer's account is done at the time of the processing of the order.
SAM & LOULOUTE uses all means necessary to ensure the safety and confidentiality of data transmitted online. To this end, the site uses a protected mode of payment SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which allows the encoding of your banking co-ordinates during their transmission on the Internet. You can see that the transmission is encrypted by software from the padlock symbol which appears in your navigator. The transaction is carried out via Stripe which alone receives the banking information provided on the site at the time of the payment.
SAM & LOULOUTE company reserves the right to suspend processing and delivery in the case of a payment authorization by bank card being refused by officially accredited organizations or in the case of non-payment. SAM & LOULOUTE company notably reserves the right to refuse to process and deliver an order placed by a client who has not paid in total a previous order, or with whom a dispute over payment has still not been settled.
Within the framework of a procedure for checking orders, intended to make sure that no one uses the banking co-ordinates of another person without their knowledge, the Customer may be requested to send proof of identity or proof of residence by fax or email to SAM & LOULOUTE company. The order will be confirmed only after receipt and checking by our services of the details sent. In the absence of receipt of these items within 15 days following the placing of the order, the order will be considered to be automatically cancelled.
