Preamble
 
The life-size-universe.com (LSU) site is the property of the Sole Proprietorship "Life-Size Universe" in its entirety, as well as all rights relating thereto. Any total or partial reproduction shall automatically be submitted to its owner for approval. However, hypertext type links towards the site are authorised without any special requests.
1. Acceptance of conditions
 
The customer acknowledges having read and understood, at the time of making the order, the special sales conditions displayed on this screen and expressly agrees to accept them without reserve. The present general conditions of sale shall govern the contractual relations between Life-Size Universe (LSU) and its customer, with the two parties accepting them without reserve. These general conditions of sale shall prevail over any other conditions included in any other document, unless there is a previous express and written derogation.
2. Products
 
The photographs illustrating the products do not form part of the contract. If errors should occur in this respect, Life-Size Universe cannot be held liable in any case whatsoever.
The products offered by LSU to its customers are available in our warehouse or at our suppliers, therefore sent out within 24/72 hours for the busts or accessories, and 5 to 10 days for the life-size statues upon receipt of payment (CB, Visa, Cheque, Transfer…). However, if a different period is indicated on the Identity Record of an article (Dis: Dispatch within 15 to 20 days), we would ask that you take this into account.
3. Order

LSU reserves itself the right to cancel any order from a customer with whom there might exist a dispute relating to the payment of a previous order. The information stated by the buyer when taking the order shall bind the buyer: in the case of an error in the wording of the contact details of the recipient, the seller can not be held responsible for being put in an impossible situation in respect of delivering the product.
4. Delivery
 
After confirmation of the order, Life-Size Universe agrees to deliver all the references ordered by the buyer to its transporter, and this within a period of 48/72 working hours for busts and accessories in stock, and of 5 days to 8 weeks for the life-size statues.

8. Disputes
 
The present contract is subject to French law. LSU can not be held liable for damages of any nature, whether material or whether immaterial or bodily, that might result from incorrect operations or incorrect use of the products sold. This also applies to any modifications to products as a result of manufacturers. The liability of Life-Size Universe shall be, in all cases, limited to the amount of the order and can not be called into question for simple errors or omissions that might have arisen despite all precautions taken in presenting the products. In the event of problems with applying the present contract, the buyer has the opportunity, before any legal action, to seek an amicable solution notably with the help: of a professional association in the sector, a consumer association or any other adviser of his or her choice. It should be remembered that seeking an amicable solution does not break the “short period” of the legal guarantee, or the period of the contractual guarantee. It should be remembered that as a general rule and subject to the view of the Courts, respect for the provisions of the present contract relating to the contractual guarantee presupposes that the buyer honours his or her financial commitments towards the seller.
 
Claims or disputes shall always receive close attention. Anyone making the effort to explain his or her situations will always be regarded as acting in good faith. In the event of a dispute, the customer shall firstly address the business in order to find an amicable solution.
 
Failing this, the Vannes Commercial Court shall have sole jurisdiction, irrespective of the place of delivery and the method of payment accepted.
9. Guarantee
 
Life-Size Universe guarantees that all the products chosen are manufactured or produced by official publishers. In all cases, LSU can not be held liable for non-respect of the regulatory and legal provisions in force in the country of reception. The liability of Life-Size Universe is automatically limited to the value of the product called into question, value at its date of sale, and related to this there is no possibility of recourse towards the product brand or the company producing the product.
 
In any event, the customer shall benefit from the legal guarantee for ejectment and hidden defects (Art. 1625 and following of the Civil Code). Provided the buyer proves the hidden defect, the seller is legally obliged to repair all consequences of it (Art. 1641 and following of the Civil Code); if the buyer goes to court, he or she must do so within a “short period” starting from the discovery of the hidden defect (Art. 1648 of the Civil Code).
