VI – PRICES

  1. Price to be paid: The price to be paid is the price indicated on the website in the Product description, as well as any additional costs (particularly delivery costs and service options) notified at the time of the order. It may be decreased as a result of a discount (for example by using vouchers or coupons). The price shall only be final once the order has been confirmed. All prices quoted on our website are in euros and inclusive of VAT.
  2. Delivery costs: Delivery costs are payable for each order made. The exact amount of the delivery costs depends on the delivery address of the order and its contents.

VII – PAYMENT METHODS

Payment for goods may be made by bank card for the whole of the Territory or by cheque drawn on a French bank.

The Customer specifies his contact details, confirms the basket and the total price. In the event of paying online, the Customer confirms the order by clicking on the "Confirm" button and is then redirected to our banking partner's page and fills in the information relating to the bank card.

VIII – PAYMENT SECURITY

Mobiky-Tech has chosen efficient and rigorous systems for the security of payments. Mobiky-Tech has adopted an Ogone solution for its payment methods which uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypting, one of the most efficient security systems available today, and which sets up an encrypted connection directly between the Customer and the bank.

Lors d'un achat sur internet équipé de CM-CIC p@iement, l'ensemble de la transaction s'effectue sur le site bancaire en mode crypté. Vous quittez temporairement le site de Mobiky-Tech en toute transparence pour enregistrer vos coordonnées bancaires. C'est la garantie que :

  • Mobiky-Tech ne connaîtra jamais votre numéro de carte.
  • CM-CIC p@iement ne pourra rien savoir du détail de vos achats puisque seul le montant total et le numéro de commande sont transmis par Mobiky-Tech.

Although Mobiky-Tech uses encrypted security software, the security of information and payments sent via the internet or via email cannot be guaranteed. Mobiky-Tech cannot be held liable for damage resulting from the use of electronic means of communication, including, but not limited to, damage resulting from the failure or delay of sending electronic messages, the interception or manipulation of electronic messages by a third party or by IT programmes used for electronic messaging and for spreading viruses.

IX – CANCELLATION

The Customer may cancel any product order, without charge and without giving a reason, providing the product has not yet been dispatched.

To request the cancellation of an order, the Customer should contact Mobiky by email via the "Customer Services" section of the website. If Mobiky-Tech is able to carry out the Customer's request, a confirmation email shall be sent and the Customer shall be reimbursed completely. If the products ordered by the Customer have already left the Mobiky-Tech warehouse in France and are being handled by a delivery company, it is still possible to cancel the order, however, in this case, the delivery costs incurred shall be deducted from the reimbursement. The Products shall be delivered and the Customer must refuse them at the time of delivery. The Products shall be returned to Mobiky and the full amount of the order shall be reimbursed to the Customer apart from the delivery costs.

X – WITHDRAWAL

The Customer has eight (8) days from receipt to return the product at his cost, for whatever reason. If the period lapses on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, it is extended to midnight of the next working day. In order to ease the handling of the Customer's withdrawal request, it is possible to send such a request to Mobiky via the "Customer Services" section put at the Customer’s disposal on the website or in the "My Account" area. Withdrawal requests addressed thus terminate the eight (8) day period lasting from receipt of the Products. The Customer may also inform Mobiky-Tech by sending a letter to the following address:

Mobiky-Tech, 675 Promenade des Ports, 50 000 Saint-Lô, France

or by telephoning Customer Services on +33 2 33 77 25 70 (no surcharge) from a landline from Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 6.00pm.

Product returns within the framework of withdrawals are completely at the Customer's cost. Moreover, it is understood that reimbursements for returns shall be refused.

Withdrawal rights are exercised as follows:

  • For bulky and/or fragile Products, delivered by a "Mobiky Gentleman" (hereinafter "Mobiky Gentleman"), you are advised to contact Mobiky to arrange the Product return. Throughout the procedure, the Customer shall be informed by email of the receipt of his wish to withdrawal, of the return of his parcel as well as the reimbursement date. The Mobiky Gentleman shall arrange a time to meet with the Customer and, at the Customer’s address, shall check that the Product is as new and in its original packaging. The Product must show no evidence of use and must be accompanied by any accessories and instruction or assembly manuals. . Under these conditions, the Mobiky Gentleman shall undertake the return of the Product and Mobiky-Tech shall carry out the reimbursement of amounts received for the returned Products. If the specified conditions are not met, the reimbursement to the Customer shall be reduced by the amount corresponding to the loss in the Product's value.
  • For smaller Products, delivered by a courier service (hereinafter the "Courier"): the Customer must return the Product by his own means and at his own cost to the address which Mobiky has communicated by email. Mobiky shall undertake a quality check of the Product at the warehouse. Products must be as new, without any evidence of use, any accessories must be included as well as any instruction or assembly manuals. Only once these conditions have been met shall Mobiky-Tech reimburse the amounts received for the returned products, apart from any return delivery fees paid by the Customer. If the specified conditions are not met, the reimbursement to the Customer shall be reduced by the amount corresponding to the loss in the Product's value, noted at the time of checking.

The Customer is advised to return parcels by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. In the event of a dispute, it is his responsibility to prove receipt of the parcel in the Mobiky-Tech offices.

Once the Products have been returned in accordance with the procedure described above, reimbursement (inclusive of initial Product delivery costs including for quick, more expensive, delivery means but not Product return costs) shall be carried out within thirty (30) days maximum from the date of receipt of the returned Products by Mobiky-Tech. Beyond this date, these amounts are subject to the legal interest rate.

Throughout the procedure, the Customer shall be informed by email of the receipt of his wish to withdrawal, of the return of his parcel as well as the reimbursement date.

XI – DELIVERY

Products are dispatched in the Territory and delivery is not available in Monaco or in Corsica.

Delivery is carried out by Courier, a Mobiky Gentleman or to a retail outlet depending on the option chosen by the Customer. The Customer should fill out the information fields carefully when placing an order, including the delivery details, and specify the preferred delivery times, indicating a landline or mobile telephone number. Neither Mobiky, nor the Courier or the Mobiky Gentleman may be held liable for failure to deliver due to inaccuracies or mistakes in the delivery address.

Delivery times indicated when confirming the order are based on working days and are specific to each Product. Due to the uncertainties of transportation, these times are subject to change and Mobiky may not be held liable. In any event, the delivery time of Products shall not exceed 48 hours (forty eight hours) from receipt of the Customer’s order confirmation.

Delivery to the Customer may be carried out by a Mobiky Gentleman if the Customer has chosen this delivery option. In this case, the Customer shall be contacted either by email or by telephone directly by a Mobiky Gentleman in order to agree a delivery time (hereinafter the "Time"). At the time of this contact, the Customer must indicate explicitly any access or entry difficulties which the Mobiky Gentleman may encounter during delivery (even if these have already been indicated on the order form). In particular, the Customer is required to measure the access points to his home in order to confirm to the Mobiky Gentleman that it is accessible for the ordered Product. Any supplementary delivery costs necessary for the hiring of specific means (such as a lifting trolley) to surmount access problems specified by the Customer must be confirmed and paid for by the latter prior to delivery.

The smallest or lightest parcels can be delivered by Courier. The Customer must indicate a delivery address at which someone will be able to take receipt of the parcel at the time of the first delivery (for example: workplace, at a friend's or family member's home, with the caretaker, etc.).

In the event of it being impossible to deliver at the time of delivery due to incorrect information, access or entry problems previously unspecified by the Customer or the Customer being absent, violating the commitments entered into in the contract, further delivery charges may be invoiced by Mobiky, who will contact the Customer to arrange payment of these further charges before any re-delivery of the Product. In the event of these charges not being paid, Mobiky reserves the right not to carry out the delivery of the Product. Risks of damage resulting from these constraints shall also be payable by the Customer.

Depending on the delivery address and the weight of the product, supplementary re-delivery costs may vary by about 20% compared to those indicated at the time of confirming the order. At the time of delivery, the Customer must open the Product in the presence of a Mobiky Gentleman /the Courier and check that the delivered Product corresponds to the order and that the Product has not been damaged before signing the delivery slip. In the event of there being a fault, the Customer must precisely specify the nature of his reservations on the delivery slip. These reservations must be hand written, dated, detailed and accompanied by a signature on the delivery slip. "Damaged product" for example is not explicit enough. The Customer must specify the nature of the damage: scratches, bumps, stains etc. Similarly, if there is a mistake in delivery, the Customer must specify the type of mistake: wrong colour, wrong reference etc.

In the event of a mistake or damage, the Customer must refuse the Product and inform us of his reservations within five (5) days by email via the "Contact us" section of the website and at the same time by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the address indicated below: Mobiky-Tech, 675 Promenade des Ports, 50 000 Saint-Lô, France.

Any claim sent beyond this time shall not be accepted. If the Customer does not express any reservations, the delivered Product is deemed satisfactory and may not be subject to dispute at a later date. For example, the Customer cannot express his reservations either to Mobiky or to the Mobiky Gentleman/Courier once the Mobiky Gentleman/Courier has left, even if the parcel has not been opened in the presence of the latter.

If the Customer wishes to change the delivery address or date of delivery, he must notify Mobiky as quickly as possible and at the latest five (5) working days before the planned delivery date To inform Mobiky, the Customer must use the "Contact us" section made available on the website or in the "My Account" area. He must indicate the order number, the Product in question and explanations justifying the changes. Mobiky shall then confirm whether this has been accepted or declined and why, by email or telephone as soon as possible.

Apart from the case of a lack of compliance or latent defects, no subsequent claims and/or reservations shall be accepted by Mobiky upon receipt of the Products by the Customer, if the latter has not acted in accordance with the procedure outlined above.

XII – NON COMPLIANCE GUARANTEE

The Customer may inform Mobiky about the non compliance of the Product with the order upon receipt of the Product. To do this, the Customer may use the "Contact us" section of the website. He shall describe the type of non compliance of the delivered Products and choose an exchange or reimbursement. If the Product initially ordered is not longer available, the Customer may request an equivalent replacement of the Product or a reimbursement. Mobiky shall inform him of the procedure to follow to undertake free return of the Products before receiving the new product or a reimbursement. Nevertheless, Mobiky reserves the right to refuse an exchange if this would incur disproportionate costs and to opt for a reimbursement.

This procedure may not be used within the framework of the exercise of the right to withdrawal, in which case the Product return costs are completely at the expense of the Customer.

  1. REPAIRS
    Products are guaranteed by Mobiky for: (5) years for the frame, (2) years for fittings, 2 years for the electronic parts, (1) year for the batteries, from receipt of the Product by the Customer. If the Customer notices a defect in the Products, he must contact Mobiky by email via the "Contact us" section of the website. He must also send the request to Mobiky by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt to the address detailed in the "Withdrawal" article. Before agreeing to take responsibility for the Product under guarantee, Mobiky shall check that:
    • The Product matches the Product which was sent to the Customer, without any damage or modification.
    • The defect notified by the Customer is not due to:
      • abnormal use of the Product;
      • normal use or ageing of the Product;
      • any accident caused by the Customer or a third party.

    Moreover, charges for delivering and returning the Products remain entirely at the expense of the Customer.

    If the above terms are met, Mobiky-Tech undertakes to repair the Product. If the Product cannot be repaired, Mobiky-Tech shall offer to replace the Product with an equivalent product or to reimburse it with a voucher corresponding to the amount of the original purchase.
  2. LATENT DEFECTS
    Mobiky-Tech guarantees the Customer against any consequence of faults or latent defects which may affect the Products sold, unless otherwise stated on the website in accordance with French law.

    The guarantee for latent defects protects the Customer from any manufacturing defects which have not been detected in the two (2) years following receipt of the Product. It applies only if the Customer can prove the highlighted defect existed before Mobiky-Tech delivered the Product. It is the Customer’s responsibility to arrange an expert analysis of the Product at his expense to obtain proof of the existence of a latent defect.

    Mobiky-Tech's liability may not exceed a sum equal to the amounts paid or payable at the time of the transaction at the origin of the said liability. Moreover, no compensation may be claimed by the Customer beyond that which is formally provided for in the French Consumption Code. It must be noted that the manufacturer is liable in principle for everything surrounding Product safety based on article 1386 -1 of the French Civil Code.
