General

The general terms of conditions of use and sale are intended to define worldwide, the contractual relations between Ultrashop and all users of the ultrashop.fr website resulting from the online sale of available and accessible works. The Ultrashop.fr website is accessible for consultation and to place an order 24/7. User navigation is free and without any obligation to place an order. You must be over 18 years and claim to have the legal capacity to enter into a contractual agreement via Ultrashop.fr and in compliance with these general terms of conditions of use and sale. Our website may potentially contain links to other third party websites and resources.

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the content on the site in full. We reserve the right to momentarily halt access to our website if necessary, or even suspend it for a temporary or definitive period. Ultrashop.fr strives to represent the works and their characteristics on its website as best it can. However, due to their settings, monitor displays may alter how a work is perceived. Ultrashop cannot be held responsible for this visual alteration.

Scope of application

The client states to have acknowledged and accepted these general terms of conditions of use and sale before placing any orders. These determine the rights, applications and obligations between the customer and Ultrashop, they are considered acceptance of these current general terms of conditions of sale, when all orders are placed and paid for. By accepting these general terms of condition on behalf of a company or any other legal entity, you represent and guarantee that you have the authority to bind this company or legal entity to these general conditions and, in such a case, “you” or “your’ will refer to this company or legal entity. The general terms of conditions of use and sale take precedence over any other conditions, with the exception of those accepted by Ultrashop in writing. Our general terms of conditions of sale also apply to all future contracts with the client. Ultrashop reserves the right to modify these general terms of conditions of sale without prior warning. The ones that are online the day your order is received are applicable.

Prices

The price for a work indicated in euros inclusive of all taxes is applicable on the date of receipt of the order by Ultrashop, it takes into account the VAT in effect on the day of the order, it is recorded on the order confirmation summary email. The price indicated on navigating the Ultrashop.fr website does not include the shipping fees for delivering the work, unless specifically stipulated otherwise. These shipping fees result in additional charges applied during the checkout process, they are subject to VAT at the rate in effect. If this rate is modified, the changes will be apportioned to the price of the articles without the customer receiving prior notice. For any work shipped beyond the European Union and French overseas departments and territories, customs duties or other local taxes may be payable. These duties and amounts fall outside the jurisdiction of Ultrashop.fr. They must be paid by the customer as an importer of goods and are his/her full responsibility in terms of declaration as well as payment to the relevant and organisations in the country to which your order is being shipped.

Conclusion of the contract

For most of the works, the print is made to order for the customer. Withdrawal cannot be exercised apart from the copyright generated. In exercising this right of withdrawal, the customer must return all the documents delivered. If the latter omits to return any or parts of the documents, reimbursement cannot take place. According to article L121-20-2 of the French Consumer Code contracts relating to the “supply of clearly personalised goods […]” are not subject to the right of withdrawal. Any work produced by Ultrashop benefits from the legal guarantee of conformity under articles L.211-4 to L.211-14 of the French Consumer Code and the legal guarantee against hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code. Under these guarantees Ultrashop agrees to exchange it. The guarantee does not cover any damage, breakage or dysfunction resulting from failure to observe precautions for use. The order is considered definitive from when Ultrashop sends email confirmation to the customer, and the sale of the work will not be recognised until after the customer has paid the corresponding price. The data recorded by the website constitutes proof of all transactions between Ultrashop.fr and its customers. Archiving of communications, order forms and bills is carried out on a reliable medium.

Applicable law and jurisdiction

The regulations of other countries do not apply to Ultrashop. If a stipulation of these general terms of conditions of sale is regarded as invalid under any law or following a definitive decision by a competent court, other stipulations shall remain in force to their full extent. These general terms of conditions are interpreted and executed according to the law of the country hosting the site and the legal registration of its author. In the event of dispute, the customer will try with Ultrashop to find an amicable settlement as a priority. Failing that, the court of Paris is the only court qualified on the matter.

Defined as such: strikes, closures, administrative action, shortages of energy and raw materials, impediments caused by fire, water, damage due to machines, thunder and any other handicap that cannot be predicted by Ultrashop.fr. Ultrashop immediately communicates the start as well as the main point of such impediments to customers.

Work and property

Work of art and use

A work of art is defined by the Decree N 91-1326 of 23 December 1991 under 3-1 of article 4 of law n° 91-716 of 26 July 1991 and related to the definition of original works of art in Article 291 of the French General Tax Code.

Change of order

Any change made to an order, regarding the delivery address or any other information after confirmation, is subject to acceptance by our services. We inform the customer immediately if it is conceivable and what the changes and additional costs are.

Transport and delivery

Each work is packaged according to its individual nature. The delivery fees are the customer’s responsibility in full and vary according to the place of delivery, the number of works and formats. Additional costs may be added for any delivery scheduled in any place requiring special attention. These costs are indicated on the order summary page. The delivery address designated by the customer may be different from the billing address. We deliver to the address indicated by the customer when ordering. All delivery estimates at the time of the order validation and confirmation are subject to change. The production of a work of art made to order may be delayed depending on its constituent elements. You will be informed of any marked change. A possible delay does not give the customer the right to cancel or refuse an order, or to seek damages. Ultrashop.fr cannot be held responsible for consequences due to delayed dispatch. The entire order is sent where possible in one batch. Ultrashop.fr reserves the right to choose its carrier. The delivery times advised in the characteristics of the works for sale are only a guideline. Any estimation cannot be rebuked due to the artisanal character of the production. The maximum delivery time for products sold on Ultrashop.fr is 12 months. As soon as the order is received, the customer or anyone authorised by the customer is required to verify the received goods and implicate the carrier in the event of damage before accepting it. If the box is slightly damaged from impact, the customer specifies it with precise and detailed information. For example “upper left corner a little crushed” or “wet cardboard”. Quoting “received pending unpacking” is not sufficient for a claim. Check the content of the package. If the work is damaged, do not sign the delivery note. These concerns must be communicated within the 48 hrs following delivery at: contact@ultrashop.fr. and must be confirmed at the same time to the carrier by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt. Ultrashop may potentially ask the customer to provide a photo of the damaged parts to enable appropriate action to be taken. The products may be returned in their original packaging or in equivalent packaging. No claims are acceptable if the delivery note is signed. All parcels are insured and delivered by contractors.
