The placing of the order and its confirmation by the Customer, materialize his full and complete acceptance of the special conditions only applicable to the order.

2. The Products

The photographs illustrating the Products are only indicative as to the general presentation of the Product. They have no contractual value and cannot in any case engage the responsibility of AZ Distribution.

It is the Customer's responsibility to check the characteristics of the Products before each order on the Website. Each Product offered for sale is presented in a summary format based on information provided by the manufacturer or supplier. The texts accompanying these photographs are based on the information on the packaging. AZ Distribution's liability shall be excluded for any damage resulting from the consumption of a Product (e. g. allergenic or other disorders) suffered by a Customer or a consumer, if the provisions on the packaging have not been respected.

3. The username and password

At the time of the first order, and in order to personalize the environment of each Customer, an identifier and a password are created by the Customer. A uniqueness check is then carried out by the system. The username and password are proof of the Customer's identity and commit him/her to all orders placed through them.

The Customer is fully and exclusively responsible for his login and password, and will bear the consequences of any use by third parties who become aware of it.

In the event of forgetting the password or suspicion by the Customer of fraudulent use of his identifier and password, he has a function on the Website allowing him to retrieve his identifier and password or to modify them.

VAT, means of payment) that the Customer confirms by ticking the box "I accept the General Terms and Conditions" and clicking on the "confirmation" button. It is specified that the Customer has, before confirming the order, a mechanism allowing him to correct or modify his order.

In the event of an error on his part in the wording of his contact details or the place of delivery, resulting in the loss of the Products, the Customer remains responsible for the payment of the said lost Products.

Any new order may only be placed after the Client has paid in full the sums due for previous orders, in accordance with article 6.2 of the General Terms and Conditions.

AZ Distribution undertakes to confirm the order to the Customer by e-mail, summarising the Products ordered and all the special conditions of the sale.

AZ Distribution reserves the right to refuse the order, in particular in the event of a legitimate reason, relating for example to a difficulty in supplying, a problem in updating stocks visible on the website, a problem in understanding the order, a foreseeable problem concerning delivery or the abnormality of the order (existence of a dispute with the Customer concerning the payment of a previous order, inconsistent delivery address...). AZ Distribution will inform the Customer by any means. In the event of unavailability of the Products or refusal of the order, the Customer will be refunded within thirty (30) working days following the payment of the order unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.

No penalty or damages shall be payable by AZ Distribution to the Customer when the delay in delivery alleged by the Customer or when the impossibility of unloading the Products by the carrier within the time periods validated by the Customer itself is due to a circumstance beyond AZ Distribution's control such as force majeure, accident, strike, administrative decision, transport stoppage, or any circumstances beyond AZ Distribution's reasonable control and/or traffic conditions and/or an event attributable, in whole or in part, to the Customer or the carrier or a third party. In the event of such an event, AZ Distribution will inform the Customer by e-mail.

5.3 Delivery costs

a. In principle, delivery costs are the responsibility of the Customer. The amount of delivery charges varies according to the delivery address. 

5.4 Receipt of Products

The Customer, or any person mandated by him, proving this mandate with the carrier and communicating to the deliverer the order number assigned by AZ Distribution undertakes to take charge of the Products upon their arrival at the delivery address. The Client or any person he has mandated, must sign the release form on which any necessary remarks will be made. The signature of the release form and the indication of the number of packages received shall be considered as acknowledgement of delivery on the date indicated on this order form.

When the delivery of the goods to the Customer is not possible because of the latter in the time slots that he himself has validated (for example: in case of absence), he must contact the carrier by means of the delivery note that will be left at the place of delivery, to agree with him on the new methods of recovering the goods. Any costs incurred for a new visit to the place of delivery will then be entirely at the Customer's expense.
