1 - Scope

Any order implies the acceptance by the Customer of the entirety of these general conditions of sale. The fact that the Seller may derogate from any of the clauses of these general conditions for a specific operation shall not be construed as a waiver of the benefit of that clause. These general conditions of sale govern sales between LM PARTS and the Customer, which implies the acceptance without reserve of these conditions.

2 - Product

The products offered are those listed on the website "https://lmparts.fr/" of the company LM Parts, within the limit of available stocks. LM Parts reserves the right to modify at any time the assortment of products. Each product is presented on the website in the form of a description summarizing its main technical characteristics: "Key cases for hands-free Renault / Dacia systems". The photographs are as faithful as possible but do not commit the Seller in any way. The sale of the products presented on the website https://lmparts.fr/ is intended for all buyers residing in countries that fully authorize the entry of these products on their territory.

3 – Orders - Formation of the contract

In the case of an order placed on the website, the Customer may only validate his order after checking the box "You accept the terms and conditions of sale": he then undertakes to respect these general conditions of sale. The Seller reserves the right to request, before shipping the order, identity documents such as an identity card (national identity card, passport, etc.) and proof of domicile at the delivery and/or billing address (lease receipt, electricity bill, etc.). In case of non-presentation of said documents, the Seller may cancel the order without prior notice.

4 - Price

The prices indicated on this site include all taxes, shipping and handling charges. Any customs duties, taxes and international transport costs are not included in the price of the product or shipping costs and are the responsibility of the buyer. Please check with your country's customs office for the amount of these additional fees before placing an order. If the package is refused or abandoned at customs, we reserve the right to deduct them from the initial refund amount. For a B2B purchase with invoicing without VAT, please contact us before placing the order.

5 - Payment

Payment for purchases is made either by credit card (Visa or Eurocard - Mastercard only), or by Paypal. In the event of a payment, the Seller will not deliver until the payment has been confirmed.

6 - Termination clause

In the event of a purchase by a company or administration and in the event of default of payment, the sale will be automatically terminated and may give rise to the allocation of damages and interest to the benefit of the Seller. The amount of these damages is set at the amount of the terminated sale.

7 - Warranty

The products sold on the website www.lmparts.fr benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity provided for by articles L.217-4 and following in case of defects of conformity of the product to the contract, and L 111-1 and R 111-1 of the Consumer Code and the legal guarantee against hidden defects affecting the products delivered and making them unfit for the intended use provided for by articles 1641 and following of the Civil Code in case of hidden defects of the product sold. LM PARTS key cases are products painted by body shops in an artisanal way, so the paint and varnish finish may be slightly imperfect due to handcrafted production and not in a factory. A slight paint or varnish imperfection cannot be considered as a defective product. For example, a grain in the varnish located on the edges of the case is an acceptable imperfection. Similarly, the shade of a new paint on the LM Parts case may differ from that present on a bodywork that has already lived several years under variable conditions. LM Parts cannot therefore be held responsible for this difference in shade. The LM Parts key case is an original LM Parts product that has no connection with the Renault or Dacia manufacturer. The customer must therefore keep his original case which may be requested by the dealer in the event of a warranty. LM Parts cannot therefore be held responsible for any dispute with a dealer who requests the complete original key.
