Upon receipt of the returned package in its warehouses and after noting the damage, Signature will offer either an exchange of the damaged Product, a purchase voucher or a full refund of the damaged Product.

Article 7. Retention of title and transfer of risk

The Products shall remain the property of Signature until the Customer signs the carrier's delivery note, once the Customer has paid the full price and Signature has been able to verify the effectiveness of the Customer's payment, regardless of the delivery date of the Products.

Full payment of the price shall be deemed to have been made when the price is actually received and not when a document creating an obligation to pay is delivered.

Whatever the date of transfer of ownership of the Products, the transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration relating thereto shall only be made at the time the Customer takes physical possession of the Products.

Article 9. Legal warranties and liability of the Seller

The Customer is hereby informed that the guarantor of the conformity of the Products is Signature, whose contact details are given at the top of this document.

Pursuant to the legislative and regulatory provisions, and in particular Articles L.217-3 et seq. of the Consumer Code and 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, the Products supplied by the Seller are automatically covered by :

- the legal guarantee of conformity, for Products that are apparently defective, damaged or do not correspond to the order or to the immediate purchase,

- the legal warranty against hidden defects resulting from a defect in material, design or manufacture affecting the products delivered and making them unfit for use,

under the conditions and according to the modalities mentioned in the box below.

In case of alteration, apparent or hidden defect of material or manufacture declared by the Customer, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, during a period of 2 years as from the date of delivery of the Products, the Seller undertakes, in accordance with the contractual guarantee, to replace the Products at its own expense, within a reasonable period of time not exceeding thirty (30) days.

This warranty does not cover defects caused by abnormal or faulty use or resulting from a cause unrelated to the intrinsic qualities of the Products.

When the Customer acts within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity:

- He has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;

- He may choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L.217-8 of the Consumer Code, or, failing that, reduction of the price or cancellation of the contract under the conditions provided for in Article L.217-14 ;

- He is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the twenty-four (24) months following the delivery of the goods, subject to the provisions of article L.217-7.

In addition, the Customer may decide to implement the legal guarantee of hidden defects provided for in Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, the Customer may choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

This legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of the commercial guarantee granted by the Customer.

When the Customer acts within the framework of the guarantee of the hidden defects envisaged by article 1641 of the Civil code, he can choose between the cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the selling price in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil code.

Reproduction of articles L. 217-3, L. 217-5 and L. 217-12 of the Consumer Code, as well as article 1641, article 1644 and the first paragraph of article 1648 of the Civil Code:

- Article L217-3 of the Consumer Code: The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and to the criteria set forth in Article L. 217-5.

He is responsible for the defects of conformity existing at the time of the delivery of the good within the meaning of article L. 216-1, which appear within a period of two years as from the latter.

In the case of a contract of sale of a good comprising digital elements :

1° When the contract provides for the continuous supply of a digital content or a digital service during a duration lower or equal to two years, or when the contract does not determine the duration of supply, the salesman answers for the defects of conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appear within a two years deadline as from the delivery of the good ;

(2) Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of more than two years, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of such digital content or digital service that appears during the period in which it is supplied under the contract.

For such goods, the applicable period does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19.

The seller shall also be liable, during the same time period, for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to shortcomings or errors in the installation instructions provided by the seller.

This warranty period applies without prejudice to articles 2224 and following of the Civil Code. The starting point of the limitation period for the consumer's action is the day on which the consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.

- Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code: I.- In addition to the criteria of conformity to the contract, the good is conform if it meets the following criteria:

1° It is fit for the purpose usually expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, if applicable, any provisions of European Union law and national law as well as all technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;

2° Where applicable, it has the qualities that the seller has presented to the consumer in the form of a sample or model, before the conclusion of the contract;

4° Where applicable, it is delivered with all the accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect;

6° It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer can legitimately expect for goods of the same type, taking into account the nature of the good as well as public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on the label.

II. -However, the seller shall not be bound by any public statements mentioned in the preceding paragraph if he demonstrates:

1° That he did not know them and was not legitimately in a position to know them ;

(2) that, at the time the contract was entered into, the public statements had been corrected in a manner comparable to the original statements; or

(3) that the public statements could not have influenced the purchase decision.

III. -The consumer may not contest the conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the good, which he was specifically informed deviated from the criteria of conformity set out in this article, deviation to which he has expressly and separately consented at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

- Article L217-12 of the Code of consumption The salesman can not proceed according to the choice made by the consumer if the setting in conformity requested is impossible or involves disproportionate costs with regard in particular:

(1) the value of the goods in the absence of the lack of conformity

(2) the significance of the lack of conformity; and

(3) whether the other choice can be made without significant inconvenience to the consumer.

The seller may refuse to bring the goods into conformity if this is impossible or would entail disproportionate costs, particularly with regard to 1° and 2°.

When these conditions are not respected, the consumer can, after formal notice, pursue the forced execution in kind of the solution initially requested, in accordance with articles 1221 and following of the civil code.

Any refusal by the seller to proceed according to the consumer's choice or to bring the goods into conformity shall be motivated in writing or on a durable medium.

- Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects of the thing sold which make it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given a lower price, if he had known them.

- Article 1644 of the Civil Code: In the case of articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the thing and having the price returned, or keeping the thing and having part of the price returned.

- Article 1648 al 1 of the Civil Code: The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years from the discovery of the defect.

In order to assert his rights, the Customer must inform the Vendor, in writing, of the non-conformity of the Products or of the existence of hidden defects within the above-mentioned deadlines as from the delivery of the Products and return the defective Products in the state in which they were received with all the elements (accessories, packaging, instructions...) to the following postal address SIGNATURE SAS - 720, Chemin du Cœur Joyeux, 59890 Quesnoy sur Deûle - France.

The Party noting the event shall immediately inform the other party of its inability to perform its service and justify this to the latter. The suspension of obligations shall in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it lead to the payment of damages or penalties for delay.

The performance of the obligation shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure if it is temporary and does not exceed SIXTY (60) days.

Consequently, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations disappears, the Parties shall make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible.

To this end, the prevented Party shall notify the other of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial act.
