The characteristics and prices of the goods sold are listed in the Catalog available online on www.emotion-tech.com. eMotion Tech cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from the improper use of the sold equipment by the customer, or related to the infringement of copyrights and/or intellectual property rights of a third party in connection with the use of the said equipment or the information provided on the website.
It is reminded that the products marketed by eMotion Tech are neither designed nor intended to be used in applications or devices whose failure or improper use could result in serious injury or death to a human or animal, notably in medical devices or systems, or in any domestic, commercial, or industrial safety device.
Article 1 - Application of the general terms and conditions
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are reserved exclusively for consumers, within the meaning given by law and case law, acting solely on their own behalf.
In accordance with Articles L.111-1 and L.111-3 of the French Consumer Code, the essential characteristics and prices of services sold electronically are available on the website www.emotion-tech.com.
Furthermore, the Customer receives the information provided for in Article L221-5 of the Consumer Code both before and after the conclusion of the sale, in particular through these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to all sales of goods by eMotion Tech carried out via the website www.emotion-tech.com, as well as to any sales contract directly concluded between the company and the buyer through a quotation in the context of the purchase of a 3D printer.
The Customer declares that they have read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale before confirming their order as defined in Article 2. The confirmation of the order therefore constitutes unconditional and full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
These terms and conditions govern exclusively the relationship between the Service Provider and the Customer. It is specified that the Service Provider reserves the right to modify these general terms and conditions at any time by publishing a new version on the website. The terms and conditions in force are those valid on the date of order confirmation.
Article 2 - ORDER Placement
In order to place an order, the Customer must first access the website: www.emotion-tech.com. They will then have access to the essential information and characteristics of the products.
The buyer must then create a customer account to proceed with the order. They must accept the general terms and conditions of sale, verify the information provided, and check the items in their order before making payment.
It is reminded that the secure ordering system implemented for all our products, in collaboration with CIC (3D Secure protocol) and PayPal, ensures technical authentication and message integrity.

It is expressly agreed between the parties that preliminary proof of the contractual obligations can be provided by the electronic records kept by eMotion Tech. This method of proof, which the customer acknowledges as valid, is admissible regardless of the order amount.

COMMERCIAL WARRANTY BY THE MANUFACTURER
For products with a specific manufacturer warranty (coverage provided directly by the manufacturer, on-site warranty, or specific warranty extension), the Customer must contact the manufacturer directly, without going through our company, which does not provide any commercial warranty for these products. Our company will refuse any returns in this context and cannot be held responsible for any manufacturer failure under this warranty.
LEGAL WARRANTIES BY THE SELLER
As a Seller and in accordance with the law, eMotion Tech assumes two warranties: conformity and hidden defects of the products. The Seller will refund or exchange defective or non-compliant products.
Requests for reimbursement must be made as follows: the Customer must inform the Seller by email at contact@emotion-tech.com of their intention to invoke this clause. The procedure outlined in Article 8 must then be followed.
LEGAL WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY
When the customer invokes the legal warranty of conformity, they have a period of 2 years from delivery of the product to act. They may choose between repair or replacement of the product, subject to certain conditions. The consumer does not have to prove defects of conformity if they appear within 24 months from the date of purchase. The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial or manufacturer warranty.

The seller is also responsible for defects resulting from packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when such installation is included in the contract or carried out under the seller’s responsibility, or when improper installation by the consumer is due to deficiencies 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 limitation period starts on the day the consumer becomes aware of the non-conformity.

ARTICLE L217-7 OF THE CONSUMER CODE
Defects of conformity that appear within 24 months from delivery, including digital components, are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery unless proven otherwise, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the product or the defect. For second-hand goods, this period is 12 months.
ARTICLE L217-8 OF THE CONSUMER CODE
In case of non-conformity, the consumer has the right to have the product brought into conformity through repair or replacement, or, failing that, to a price reduction or contract termination, under the conditions set out in Subsection 2 “Implementation of the legal warranty of conformity” of the Consumer Code. The consumer may also suspend payment of all or part of the price until the seller fulfills their obligations under the relevant provisions of the Civil Code Articles 1219 and 1220.
LEGAL WARRANTY AGAINST HIDDEN DEFECTS
The customer may invoke the legal warranty against hidden defects of the sold item under Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, they may choose between rescinding the sale or obtaining a price reduction according to Article 1644 of the Civil Code. The product must be returned in its original packaging along with a copy of the purchase invoice, including all parts and accessories, and the product’s serial number if applicable (see Article 8).

Article 7 - Right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article L222-7 of the Consumer Code, the consumer has a period of fourteen calendar days to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to justify a reason or bear any penalties.
The withdrawal period begins on the day the distance contract is concluded. For orders involving multiple goods delivered separately, the period begins on the day the buyer, or a third party other than the carrier designated by the buyer, takes physical possession of the last item.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the buyer must notify eMotion Tech of their decision to withdraw through an unambiguous statement. It is recommended that the buyer use the withdrawal form provided at the end of this article.
From the date of notification of withdrawal, the buyer has 14 days to return the goods at their own expense to the seller’s registered office, which will be reminded when the return number is provided. The cost of returning the goods, when they cannot normally be returned by post due to their nature, is indicated on our website (FAQ or Help page). The buyer may be held liable for any depreciation of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and proper functioning of the goods.
In case of withdrawal by the buyer, eMotion Tech will refund all payments received from them, including delivery costs, except for any additional costs resulting from the buyer choosing a delivery method other than the least expensive standard method offered by the seller at the time of the order. The seller will refund the buyer within 14 days following the notification of withdrawal using the same payment method as the original transaction, unless the buyer expressly agrees to use a different method.
