ARTICLE 1 - SUBJECT
Sales made by the SMART GRADE Company are subject to these general conditions of sale (hereinafter “the General Conditions”). This contract is subject to French law.
The General Conditions detailed below exclusively govern the contractual relations between the SMART GRADE Company and the Customer. Their purpose is to define the rights and obligations of the parties within the framework of the distance selling of goods offered by the Site.
The website constitutes a showcase on which product catalogs are presented. No order can be made via the website.
Customers place their orders through the following means, namely:
- By email,
- By phone
- Or by WhatsApp.
However, the order is effectively validated upon receipt by the Company of the duly dated and signed order form.
When a customer places an order for the first time, the latter must necessarily register with the company, read the general conditions of sale and check the box "I accept the general conditions of sale".
In the event of changes to these general conditions of sale, the Company will inform all of its customers so that they can read them again and tick the box "I accept the general conditions of sale" again.
These General Conditions prevail over any other stipulation from the Customer, whether written or not - unless expressly agreed by SMART GRADE Company. No general or specific conditions appearing in the documents sent or given by the Client may be incorporated into these General Conditions, since these documents are incompatible with them.
The Customer declares to have full legal capacity allowing him to engage under these General Conditions.
SMART GRADE may need to update these General Conditions.
In the event of changes to the general conditions of sale, the Company will send an information email to the customer on which the new general conditions of sale will be attached. The customer will agree to accept these new general conditions of sale for any new order.
Any modification to these General Conditions is applicable as soon as it is posted on the Site but cannot apply to contracts concluded previously.

Any compulsory levy relating to the products will be invoiced in accordance with the regulations in force and included in the price presented when the order is placed. In the event of an order intended for delivery outside France, the Customer must inform himself of any customs duties or any other duties or taxes whatsoever which are payable in the country of delivery of the products. The Customer is responsible for the full payment of these duties and taxes related to the customs clearance of his order.
For sales to businesses in the European Union, excluding France, VAT-exclusive invoicing options are available.

ARTICLE 4 - DELIVERY AND RECEPTION OF PRODUCTS
4.1 Delivery
Delivery of items ordered by the customer will take place at the address of their choice determined at the time of signing the order form.
The delivery address can be changed at the request of the customer or more generally of the person who made, validated and paid for the order, up to 48 hours before delivery.
In the event that the Customer is absent during the delivery of the order, it is his responsibility to pick up his delivery at the address mentioned by the carrier and according to the terms specified by the latter on the transit advice note filed at the delivery address.
In the absence of withdrawal of the delivery within the period appearing on this notice or in the event of refusal of delivery by the Customer, the package will be returned to the Company SMART GRADE
The products will then be reimbursed via bank transfer (with the exception of the initial delivery costs). An administrative fee of 30.00 € HT will also be deducted from the amount of the refund as well as the return costs invoiced by the carrier.
The second delivery is conditional on payment of the new transport costs by the customer.
Delivery is made by one of the following transport companies: DHL, TNT, UPS and CHRONOPOST.
The delivery time is conditioned by the choice of delivery method made by the Customer when ordering. The delivery time indicated when ordering is only indicative and is in no way guaranteed. Consequently, the SMART GRADE Company cannot be held responsible in the event of the deadline being exceeded.
Exceeding the time limit may not give rise to any cancellation of the order, to any reduction in the price paid by the Customer, and to any payment for damages once the Customer is delivered within 30 days of confirmation of his order.
Also, the order deadlines are not guaranteed by the SMART GRADE Company if the orders are placed on the eve of public holidays or on weekends.
SMART GRADE allows itself an additional 24 working hours for the shipment of exported orders requiring greater administrative and customs formalities.
Delivery times may also vary in the event of an external event (force majeure, storm, blockage of transport routes, etc.). This list is not exhaustive.
In the event of a stock shortage affecting an order, the SMART GRADE Company will inform the Customer at the time of shipment. If this rupture concerns the entire order, the order will be canceled and the Customer will be fully refunded within a maximum of 30 days after payment.
Otherwise, the product out of stock will be reimbursed to the Customer in the form of a bank transfer. An accounting credit will also be established and sent to the Client by email.
4.2 Reception
Any complaint for non-conformity or product missing from delivery must be sent to SMART GRADE, with a copy of the reservations made to the carrier, within 48 hours of the delivery being signed.
Reservations at the time of delivery must be precise and complete as to the nature of the visible damage on the packaging and the condition of the goods (reserves on damage and number of missing parts / damage to the goods). It is imperative to control all products upon receipt. The contents of each package must be inspected in the presence of the delivery person and before any acceptance of the package.
The observed anomaly must be clearly written and carried mainly on the goods and not exclusively on the packaging.
Reservations must be written on the delivery receipt in front of the driver, who is entitled to issue counter reservations.
It is recommended not to accept visibly badly damaged packages or to refuse the delivery as a whole.
Late complaints cannot under any circumstances be taken into account and the Customer's liability is only then fully engaged.
