These General Terms and Conditions of Sale will prevail over any other general or special condition not expressly agreed to by CARAVANE. CARAVANE's failure at any time to enforce any one of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall not in any case be construed as a waiver of its right to subsequently enforce a provision.

CARAVANE reserves the right to amend or modify the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. In such circumstances, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable to an order will be those published online when a Client places that order.

The purchase of products commercialised by CARAVANE does not constitute an act of daily life within the meaning of Article 1146 of the French Civil Code.

However, despite great care being taken, the Client should be informed that CARAVANE cannot guarantee the complete accuracy between the products and the photographs of the products, especially in relation to colours. Differences may arise for a variety of reasons, including issues related to the colour quality of photographs, difficulties related to displaying colours and textures on monitors and issues related to technical adaptions. Under no circumstances, will these differences be deemed as defects that can give rise to the cancellation of a sale for which CARAVANE is liable.

The placement of any order implies an express and irrevocable acceptance of the product descriptions.

Before placing an order, the Client must ensure that the products(s) being ordered (especially any heavy or bulky products) can be delivered without any difficulty to the address and property nominated for delivery. Notably, it is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the items can fit through any doorways and hallways. Delivery cannot be made through windows.

Once an order has been placed, an order confirmation email will be sent to the Client summarising the order (e.g., the order number, a list of the products ordered and their prices).

All of the data provided by the Client during the order process and the order confirmation email are proof of the transaction.
