The main characteristics of the Product and in particular the specifications, illustrations and indications of dimensions or capacity are presented on the Website. Cosmo Connected makes every effort to offer good quality visuals that give a faithful representation of the Products offered.

As the "Cosmo moto" Product is considered as an accessory for motorbike helmets, the "Cosmo ride" Product is considered as an accessory fixed on a bicycle helmet or on the back of a bicycle saddle, and cannot be considered as a substitute for the regulatory warning lights. Furthermore, although the attachment of the Product does not alter the structure of the helmet, the Client is invited to check with his insurer that the installation of this device is not excluded by the policy he has subscribed. Otherwise, Cosmo Connected cannot be held responsible for a refusal of compensation by the user's insurance company.
The Client is required to read the technical and commercial documentation related to the Product before placing any order. In particular, the Customer must check that he/she complies with all the technical requirements for optimal use of the Products.

Otherwise, some of the Product's features will be inoperative.
The Customer is informed that certain functionalities attached to the mobile application intended to be used in conjunction with the Product give rise to additional billing. Otherwise, these features are inaccessible.
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale are accessible at any time on the Website and shall prevail, where applicable, over any previous version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale or any other contradictory document.
The Customer declares that he/she has read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and has accepted them, without restriction or reservation, by ticking the box provided for this purpose before implementing the online ordering procedure as well as the general terms and conditions of use of the Website.
As these General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be subject to subsequent modifications, the version applicable to the Customer's purchase is the one in force on the Website on the date the order is placed.
Unless proven otherwise, in application of the provisions of article 1356 of the Civil Code, the data recorded in Cosmo Connected's computer system constitute the proof of all the transactions concluded with the Client.

In the absence of transmission of the requested proofs, Cosmo Connected reserves the right to refuse the order or to adopt any useful measure. The delay of transmission to Cosmo Connected of the requested documents as well as the delay of their processing may delay the validation as well as the shipping of the ordered Products.

Article 8 - Responsibility - Guarantee
The Products sold on the Website comply with the regulations in force within the European Union and have performances compatible with non-professional uses.

the legal guarantee of conformity, for the apparently defective, damaged or damaged Products or not corresponding to the order;
the legal guarantee against hidden defects resulting from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the Products delivered and making them unfit for use;

The shipping costs will be reimbursed on the basis of the invoiced rate and the return costs will be reimbursed upon presentation of the relevant receipts.
The reimbursements of the Products judged to be non-conforming or defective will be made as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen (14) days following the observation by Cosmo Connected of the non-conformity or the hidden defect.
The reimbursement will be made by crediting the Client's bank account or by bank check sent to the Client.
Cosmo Connected cannot be held responsible in the following cases :
- non-compliance with the legislation of the country to which the products are delivered, which it is up to the Customer to check;
- in the event of misuse, use that does not comply with the user manual, faulty installation, use for professional purposes, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, as well as in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure;
- due to the functionalities offered through the application associated with the Product: in case of unavailability of all or part of the functionalities due to the suspension of these functionalities for non-payment of the sums due to Cosmo Connected, of failure linked to the presence of a software interface or of an unsuitable or incompatible software, of failure of the terminal (in particular in case of destruction of the latter), or due to the impossibility of access to the telephone network or to a bluetooth type connection (in particular, zone not covered or inaccessibility of the network);
- malfunctioning of the application connected to the Product, and more generally of the alert device, due to the impossibility of access to the telephone network or a Bluetooth-type connection (in particular, areas not covered or inaccessible by the network), a technical failure or due to the consequences of the accident (in particular in the event of total or partial destruction of the mobile terminal on which the application connected to the Product is installed).
In addition, the warranty does not cover :
Repairs or replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear ;
any adaptation or modification of the Product not authorised by Cosmo Connected
deterioration or defects of the Product resulting from
improper use or installation of the Product (use not in accordance with the use for which the Product is intended, installation or use not in accordance with Cosmo Connected's instructions or the technical or safety standards in force in the country where it is used, etc.);
maintenance of the Product not in accordance with Cosmo Connected's instructions or negligence in the maintenance of the Product;
mishandling or misuse of the Product (wrong operation, dropping, shocks, etc.) or inappropriate environment (exposure to humidity, excessive heat, contact with sand or any other substance, inadequate power supply, etc.);
a defect caused by a defective repair of the product carried out by a service provider not approved by Cosmo Connected.
Furthermore, the Customer acknowledges that the Product is a deceleration detection device complementary to the brake lights; it cannot replace them.

MORE GENERALLY, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES EXTENDING BEYOND THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. NO RESELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THE CONDITIONS AND LIABILITY CLAUSES SET FORTH ABOVE.
Article 9 - Protection of personal data
In application of the European Regulation on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (Regulation EU 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016), it is recalled that the personal data requested from the Customer is strictly necessary for the processing of his order and for the preparation of invoices.

Article 10 - Intellectual property
Cosmo Connected keeps all the industrial and intellectual property rights related to the Products, photos and technical documentation, which can neither be communicated nor used for any other purpose than the use of the Product without its written authorization.
Moreover, Cosmo Connected remains the owner of all the intellectual property rights on its brands as well as on the photographs, presentations, studies, drawings, models, prototypes, etc., made in view of supplying the Products to the Client.
The Client is therefore forbidden from reproducing or exploiting Cosmo Connected's trademarks as well as the said studies, drawings, models, prototypes, etc., without Cosmo Connected's express, written and prior authorization.

Article 11 - Force majeure
The Parties shall not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations, as described herein, results from a case of force majeure, within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code.
The Party noting the event must immediately inform the other Party of its inability to perform its service and justify this to the latter. The suspension of obligations shall in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it lead to the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
The performance of the obligation is suspended for the duration of the force majeure if it is temporary. Consequently, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations disappears, the Parties shall make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible. To this end, the party prevented from doing so shall notify the other party of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial act. If the event lasts more than thirty (30) days from the date of its occurrence, the sales contract concluded between the Parties may be terminated by the most diligent Party, without either Party being able to claim damages.
Article 12 - Termination of the contract
Except in the case of force majeure, in the event of one of the Parties failing to fulfil any of its commitments hereunder, the other Party may, thirty (30) days after sending, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a formal notice to perform which has remained without effect, invoke the early termination of the Contract. The termination shall take effect from the date of receipt of the registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
Any termination of the Contract attributable to the default of a Party shall give rise to the payment of damages to the non-defaulting Party after demonstration of the actual damage incurred and the costs incurred as a result of the termination by the non-defaulting Party. In accordance with Articles 1231-3 and 1231-4 of the Civil Code, the right to compensation shall be limited to foreseeable, immediate and direct damage only, to the exclusion of any indirect or possible or unforeseeable damage.
Article 13 - Applicable law - Language

Article 14 - Disputes
ALL DISPUTES TO WHICH THE PURCHASE AND SALE OPERATIONS CONCLUDED IN APPLICATION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS OF SALE COULD GIVE RISE, CONCERNING BOTH THEIR VALIDITY, THEIR INTERPRETATION, THEIR EXECUTION, THEIR TERMINATION, THEIR CONSEQUENCES AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES AND WHICH COULD NOT BE RESOLVED BETWEEN THE SELLER AND THE CUSTOMER WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE COMPETENT COURTS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF COMMON LAW.
The Customer is informed that he may in any case have recourse to conventional mediation, in particular with the Commission de la médiation de la consommation (C. cons. art. L 612-1) or with the existing sectoral mediation bodies, the references of which are given on the Website, or to any alternative method of dispute resolution (conciliation, for example) in the event of a dispute.

The platform is accessible by clicking on the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
Article 15 - Pre-contractual information - Customer acceptance
The fact that a person orders on the Website implies full and complete adhesion and acceptance of the present General Sales Conditions and obligation to pay for the ordered Products, which is expressly recognized by the Client, who renounces, in particular, to take advantage of any contradictory document, which would be unenforceable against Cosmo Connected.
