It is specified that the photographs of the articles or their reproduction on any other support which appear on the Site have only an indicative value, they do not present a contractual character and could not engage the responsibility for the Salesman.

In the case of a Sewing Pattern, the latter is highlighted by means of a creation based on the same Pattern. This realization, as faithful as possible, proposes an example of look and material, but in no way reflects what the customer could make of it according to his level of sewing, his tastes or his desires.

This validation constitutes signature and express acceptance of all operations carried out on the Site. Computerized registers, kept in the computer systems of the Vendor and its partners under reasonable security conditions, will be considered as proof of communications, Subscriptions and payments between the Customer and the Vendor. Invoices are archived on a reliable and durable medium in such a way as to correspond to a faithful and durable copy in accordance with article 1379 al. 2 new of the French Civil Code.

The Customer's opposition to tacit renewal puts an end to his Subscription and entails the cessation of automatic debits made via the ReCharge recurring payment option.

If the Customer fails to send an e-mail more than 8 days before the renewal date, the Subscription will be automatically renewed for an indefinite period. The direct debit set up at the time of Subscription subscription, via the Recurring Payment option of ReCharge optionrecurring payment option, will continue as described in article 8.6.
