These T&C are accessible at any time on the Website, and shall take precedence over any other version or contradictory document.

Orders

2.5. Payment for Ween thermostats (« the Payment ») must be carried out via the Website.

The purchase price of Ween thermostats is payable via credit card secure payment, at the moment of ordering by the Client, as follows:

The Client's banking details are transmitted directly and securely (SSL encryption) via the payment service provider website. These banking details are saved only during the treatment of the order and then destroyed, so must be re-entered for each order. The Website neither receives nor saves this information, whose handling is entirely managed by the payment service provider website. Credit cards from banks outside France must be international cards.

On receipt of payment, the Company will send an order Confirmation to the Client. If Payment is not received by the Company within 5 working days, the order and the delivery of the Ween thermostats (« the Delivery ») will be cancelled.

3.2. The delivery address is that indicated by the Client when placing the Pre-order on the Website. Except in special cases or when one or more products are unavailable, ordered products will be delivered together.

The Company will make every effort to deliver ordered Ween thermostats at the dates specified above. However, these dates are only given as an indication, and any delay shall give rise to no damages, deduction, or cancellation of the order by the Client.

Delivery shall be considered to have taken place as soon as the Company has given the ordered products to the carrier. The Client therefore accepts that delivery is the carrier's responsibility, and no warranty claim against the Company will be accepted in the event of non-delivery of the goods.

The Client must check the condition of the Ween thermostat on reception. Any reserve or complaint concerning non-conformity or apparent defects must be expressed by post or email within 30 days of delivery.

The Company will replace, as rapidly as possible and at its own expense, any product delivered whose apparent defects or non-conformity have been duly established by the Client.

The transfer of ownership of the Company's products, and the corresponding transfer of the associated risks of loss and deterioration, shall be considered effective when the Client accepts the order, thus establishing the Parties' agreement on the goods and the price, whatever the dates of payment or delivery. The products are therefore transported at the Client's risk, and in the event of damage the Client may complain to the carrier according to the applicable rules and regulations.
