Any Order on the Website is subject to prior consultation and acceptance without reservation of the present Terms of Sale and the applicable prices by the Customer. Clicking on the "Checkout" button accessible on the page dedicated to the validation of the order, and checking the Terms of Sales checkbox, constitutes the Customer's acceptance.

WARNING STATEMENT

The sale of Items on the Website is reserved exclusively for retail sale to private individuals.

In no case may the Website be used by Customers who are professional sellers, alone or in a group, regardless of the method used for the marketing of their products (online marketplaces, shopping galleries, broker, brick and mortar stores in particular). Accordingly, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that the Items can only be purchased in quantities corresponding to the average buying needs of a consumer, both in terms of the number of Items ordered in a single order and in the number of individual Orders corresponding to the usual quantity purchased of the same product by an average consumer. We reserve the right to refuse an order clearly placed by a professional selling Customer.

Every Customer declares to be informed of the unreliability of the Internet network, especially in terms of data transmission security, non-guaranteed continuity in access to the Website, and non-guaranteed performance in terms of volume and speed of data transmission and spread of viruses.

SMCP warns each Customer about the need to implement a solution and security measures on their computer or portable or mobile devices in order to prevent the spread of viruses.

 

CREATION OF CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

Any SMCP Customer may freely create a customer account at no charge through the "Create an account" section.

A customer account is created by the Customer by completing the form offered to him/her for their identification data.

This account is strictly personal to the Customer and allows the Customer to identify himself/herself before validating each Order.

During the creation of the Customer account, the Customer enters the data allowing their identification under their full responsibility, controls, and directions and commits to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date information and to not usurp the identity of a third party or hide or modify their age.

During the creation of a customer account, the Customer chooses their username (email) and password. If the chosen username is already assigned, the system requires the Customer to choose another one.

The usernames and passwords are personal and confidential. While we take all reasonable precautions and are committed to protecting the personal data of our Customers, the Customer is informed of the need to keep their password secret and not to disclose it to a third party for any reason whatsoever.

A Client who suspects the use of the username and password by a third party must immediately alert us in order for their password to be changed and/or to choose to have their customer account closed.

We reserve the possibility to close any customer account and accordingly refuse any sale to a Customer in the event of a payment default on one or more previous Orders.

In this case, we shall send an email to the Customer at the address indicated by him/her during the creation of their customer account informing him/her of the disabling of their username and password and the closure of their account. The Client shall be given a reasonable notice period of eight (8) calendar days to possibly express their comments with us, without prejudice to the suspension of their Account during the notice period.

In general, the Customer is informed that their account may be closed following the Customer's first request submitted to us by email.

 

CHARACTERISTICS AND AVAILABILITY OF THE ITEMS

We do our best to make sure that all items on the Website are in stock and available for sale, but in certain cases, the information may be outdated or incorrect in which case the customer’s remedy is a return of any payments or charges for such item, if any.

We reserve the right to remove from sale any Item on this Website at any time and/or replace or modify any information associated with the Items on this Website.

If an Item is unavailable, after their Order is placed, the Customer shall be informed by email. Their order shall then be automatically cancelled. No charge shall be applied since we only charge once an item ships.

The characteristics of the Items sold on the Website (photographs, graphics, and descriptions of the Items, etc.) are given merely as a guide and may vary over time and depending on each individual shipped Item. Only the visual of the Item displayed [on the Website] at the time of the Order’s completion should be taken into account by the Customer. The Item characteristics and visuals are non-binding contractually.

In case of errors or omissions relating to the description of an Item, our responsibility shall be limited to the reimbursement of reasonable costs incurred by the Customer for sending the Item back.

 

ORDERING OF ITEMS

Every Order entails an obligation of payment.

The Customers declare that they have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence and have legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

To place an Order, the Customer must follow the online purchase process here and click on "Checkout" to submit the Order.

Payment for the Order constitutes acceptance of the present Terms of Sale, the price of the Items, and the content of the Order.

After validation of the payment, we will send an Order confirmation email to the Customer.

Every Order is subject to our prior acceptance and is definitively confirmed only after the Customer's receipt of an email confirming the shipment of the Item(s).

Any Order may be refunded should it occur that the conditions under which it was placed breached the present Terms of Sale.

If the Customer does not receive any email following their Order, it is their responsibility to contact our customer service department.

In no case shall we be held liable for an input error or transmission of an input error attributable to the consumer and preventing the delivery of the confirmation email and/or Items.

It is recommended that the Customer print their Order confirmation email.

For any questions relating to the tracking of an Order, the Customer must consult their customer account on the Website or contact customer service.

 

PRICE OF THE ITEMS

All prices posted on this Site are subject to change without notice.

The prices are indicated on the Website in dollars, excluding taxes and shipping and handling costs.

The amount of shipping costs and taxes, as well as total cost payable, are specified on the Website’s shopping cart before validation of the Order.

The Items are charged on the basis of the rates in force at the time of the validation of each Order.

The price charged for the Items is therefore the price indicated at the time of the Order.

 

PAYMENT FOR THE ORDER

Every Order entails an obligation of payment. The Order is final only as from the date of full payment of the price and the costs associated with the Order.

The price charged to the Customer is the price indicated in the Order confirmation sent to the Customer by email.

Once the Order ships, the Customer is charged and informed by email that their invoice including delivery costs and applicable taxes is accessible online on the customer account.

Transactions carried out on the Website are entrusted to secure online payment platform Adyen. This platform presents secure pages for the input of payment data, including card number, expiry date, and security code.

This platform encrypts and then transmits the payment data to the payment services provider confidentially and makes them inaccessible to third parties.

It is possible for the Customer to save their payment card data on their account. The data in this case remain encrypted and inaccessible.

We offer Klarna as a payment option at checkout, allowing you to split your purchase into multiple interest-free payments or choose other flexible payment options provided by Klarna. Klarna is available for orders ranging from $35 to $3,000. By selecting Klarna, you agree to Klarna's terms and conditions, which are available on their website. Please note that Klarna's payment plans are subject to credit approval, and late fees may apply for missed payments.
