1. Orders and Offer Validity
1.1Order Procedure
A detailed description of the Products is available when viewing individual Products on the Site.
The system, as implemented, assumes an active effort from you. It complies with the legal requirements for online sales and consumer protection.
To order the Products you want, there are two options:
a. Go to the product page for the Product you would like to purchase by clicking its photo, selecting the packaging you want, and then clicking “Add to cart”. Your selections will automatically be added to your cart.
b. Place a quick order by clicking “Add to cart” directly on the Product overview (without clicking the photo and going to the product page). The Product will then be added to your cart.
Products will always be added to your cart with the quantity “1” by default. You can then update the quantity when viewing your cart by clicking “Cart”, as described in the procedure below.
You have the option to select multiple quantities of the same Product by changing the quantity in your cart view. You can also remove a previously selected Product by clicking the “X” button at the top-right corner of each Product.
Once you have added all the Products you want to the cart, you can add a coupon code by entering that code into the “Promo code” field and then clicking “OK” to submit it. Coupon codes cannot be combined with other discounts. Only coupon codes and other discounts specific to the Site (ex. ongoing promotions) will be accepted on the Site.
To confirm your order, click the “Checkout” button or “PayPal” in the right column of your cart.

You also have the option of creating an account through Facebook Connect by entering your Facebook credentials and clicking “Login with Facebook” and filling out the form with your complete shipping and billing information. You can also choose to create an account through Google by clicking “Login with Google”.
Your customer account will then be created, and you will receive a new account confirmation email at the email address you provided.

If you haven't yet logged in to your customer account, you can get direct access to your account by clicking on "Log in," which will allow you to enter your credentials (email address and password) and click on the "Log in" button.
Next, choose an address from your list of saved addresses, or enter a new one under the "Address Book" tab, and select a delivery method from the list provided. If you have already logged in to your customer account, you will be sent directly to this page.
To confirm your selections, click on "Next: Payment."
Choose your payment method, confirm your order details, check the box that reads "I accept the general terms of sale and the privacy policy," then click on "Confirm and pay" to finalize your order.

Checking the abovementioned boxes is a basic requirement before confirming your order.
The act of completing the order confirmation on the Site, paying for your order, and confirming it by clicking the “Confirm and continue to payment” implies your full and unconditional acceptance of these General Terms of Sale and Use.The General Terms of Sale and Use shall be the only terms applicable to the contract thus entered.

If it has been used, no right of withdrawal may be exercised, and no refund may be issued in any form.
When an order is placed with a coupon code offering a discount involving the simultaneous purchase of a predetermined number of items, returning one or more item(s) may have the effect of nullifying the discount when the number of items needed for the discount to apply is no longer met. The refund will then be adjusted to account for the discount no longer being applicable.
7. Compliance - Warranty Against Latent Defects
Compliance
Products are subject to the legal warranty terms established in Articles L.211-4 to L.211-16 of the French Consumer Code. Therefore, pursuant to Article L.211-4 of the French Consumer Code, Orientis Gourmet is bound to send you a product in compliance with the contract and to address noncompliances that may exist upon delivery. Orientis Gourmet shall also address noncompliances resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when responsible for these under the contract or when these are carried out under Orientis Gourmet’s supervision.
Pursuant to Article L.211-5 of the French Consumer Code, to conform to the contract, the product must: 1) Be suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, if applicable: correspond to the description given by the seller and have the features that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; have the features that a buyer might reasonably expect it to have considering the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, including advertising and labeling; 2) Or have the features defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special requirement of the buyer which was made known to the seller and which the latter agreed to.
However, the customer is solely responsible for selecting the Products, storing them, and using them after delivery. Under no circumstance will Orientis Gourmet guarantee that the order meets the customer’s specific expectations.
Warranty Against Latent Defects
Pursuant to the provisions of Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code, Orientis Gourmet is bound to a warranty on account of the “latent defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he known of them.”
In the event of a legal warranty action:
In the event of a noncompliant shipment, you have up to twenty-four (24) months after the date when the Products were delivered to act. Moreover, you are not required to provide proof of the noncompliance within the six (6) months following the delivery of the Products.
In the event of a noncompliance, you may choose between the repair or replacement of the product. However, the seller may not proceed with the purchaser’s choice if that choice involves a cost that is clearly disproportionate with respect to the other option, given the value of the product or the significance of the defect. The seller is then bound to proceed, unless doing so is possible, according to the method not selected by the purchaser.
If the warranty against latent defects is implemented:
Pursuant to Article 1644 of the French Civil Code, you have the choice either of returning the thing and having the price repaid to you or of keeping the thing and having a part of the price repaid to you, as appraised by experts.
The action resulting from the latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two (2) years from when the defect was discovered, in accordance with Article 1648 of the French Civil Code.
8. Retention of Ownership
The Products shipped to you are sold with no retention of ownership. Transfer of ownership is subject to the full payment of the price of the Products, by the date agreed between the parties. Products therefore remain the property of Orientis Gourmet until orders have been paid in full.
