And:
Any individual or legal entity, hereinafter referred to as "the Buyer", wishing to make a purchase via one of the websites whose rights are held by TINI SPORT SRL.

These TCS shall prevail over any other general or specific conditions not expressly approved in writing by TINI SPORT SRL.
TINI SPORT SRL reserves the right to modify the Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. The applicable Terms and Conditions will be those in effect on the date the Buyer places the order. It is therefore recommended to read the Terms and Conditions at each visit to the site.
ARTICLE 3: CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GOODS OFFERED
The products offered for sale are those listed in the catalogue published on the TINI SPORT SRL website.
These products are available while stocks last. This condition does not apply to specific promotional operations (excluding sales and clearance sales), which will comply with the legal and regulatory provisions in force, in particular the relevant articles of the French Commercial Code and the decrees relating to price advertising.
Each product is accompanied by a description drawn up by the supplier or, in the case of products assembled by TINI SPORT SRL, a description provided directly by the latter. The Buyer may consult the suppliers' documentation if necessary.
The photographs in the catalogue are faithfully presented but do not guarantee a perfect match, particularly in terms of colour or finish.
Retention of title: The products remain the property of TINI SPORT SRL until full payment of the price by the latter.
If the Purchaser wishes to acquire a product in order to combine it with another product already in his/her possession (for example to ensure compatibility or coordinated assembly), he/she must clearly indicate this at the time of ordering. In the absence of such communication, TINI SPORT SRL declines all responsibility in the event of unforeseeable incompatibility.
ARTICLE 4: PRICES
The prices of the products offered by TINI SPORT SRL are indicated in euros (€), inclusive of all taxes (TTC). They include standard packaging but exclude:
- Processing and shipping costs ;
- Charges for gift or special packaging.
Any taxes, duties, levies or other additional charges applicable under the legislation in force in the country of destination shall be borne exclusively by the Buyer.
An invoice is issued on request and can be downloaded or sent by e-mail. Full payment of the amount due by the Buyer is required on the date of issue of the invoice, which also marks the start of the product warranty period.
Price review :
TINI SPORT SRL reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. However, products will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force at the time the order is placed by the Buyer.
Special conditions for sales to professionals:
- No discount will be granted for early payment;
- No quantity or quality discount will be applied, except by prior written agreement.
ARTICLE 5: ORDER
Any order placed on the TINI SPORT SRL website must meet the normal needs of the Buyer. TINI SPORT SRL declines all responsibility in the event of the products being used for purposes other than those intended, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product description.
To validate an order, the Buyer must :
- Fill in the identification form with your full contact details or, if applicable, indicate your customer number;
- Add the products you want to your online basket by selecting the corresponding references;
- Check the products and quantities in your basket before confirming your order;
- Make the payment in accordance with the terms and conditions;
- Confirm your order and payment.
Confirmation of the order by the Buyer implies :
- Unconditional acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale (GTC);

A confirmation of the order will be sent by e-mail to the Purchaser by TINI SPORT SRL. The latter declines all responsibility in the event of data entry errors by the Purchaser and the resulting consequences. In the event of the need for re-shipment due to an input error, the associated costs shall be borne by the Purchaser.
ARTICLE 6: TERMS OF PAYMENT
The price is payable at the time the order is placed. The Buyer must use one of the payment methods offered on the site when placing the order.
Payment process
- Payments are made via secure systems that guarantee the confidentiality and protection of the data transmitted.

Late payment
In the event of late payment, TINI SPORT SRL reserves the right to apply late payment interest, calculated on the basis of the legal rate in force, from the date of formal notice to the Buyer.
ARTICLE 7: PAYMENT SECURITY
In order to guarantee the security of payments, TINI SPORT SRL uses a secure payment service that complies with the standards in force, in particular the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. This system ensures that confidential data, such as bank card number, expiry date and cryptogram, are transmitted directly in encrypted form and do not pass through TINI SPORT SRL's servers.
Entering the payment details online, followed by final validation of the order, constitutes :
- Proof of the completeness of the order;
- Express acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale;
- Payment of the sums corresponding to the items shown on the order form.
This validation has the value of an electronic signature and is irrevocably binding on the Buyer.
ARTICLE 8: CUSTOMS DUTIES
Any order placed on the site and delivered outside Belgium may be subject to taxes and customs duties applicable on arrival of the parcel in the country of destination. These customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the Buyer.
TINI SPORT SRL is not responsible for the obligation to inform the Buyer about taxes or customs duties applicable to delivery in a specific country. It is therefore recommended that the Buyer consult the competent authorities of their country to learn about any applicable taxes and duties.
ARTICLE 9: AVAILABILITY
Product offers and prices are valid as long as they are visible on the site, while stocks last, except during promotional periods, sales or price reductions.
For products not stocked in the TINI SPORT SRL warehouses, offers are valid subject to availability from suppliers.
Information on product availability will be provided when the Buyer places the order. This information comes directly from the suppliers, which may lead to errors or changes.
If a product is unavailable after the order has been placed, the Buyer will be informed by e-mail as soon as the information is received from the supplier. The order will be automatically cancelled and, if payment has been made, the Buyer will be immediately reimbursed for the sum paid.
ARTICLE 10: DELIVERY
10.1 Delivery address and liability
Deliveries are made to the address indicated when the order was placed, accompanied by a detailed invoice. This address determines the amount of the delivery charges, which are calculated according to the mode of transport, the number of items, the weight and the total amount of the order.

If a parcel is not received within the specified time frame, the buyer may contact customer service to report the problem. An investigation will then be conducted with the carrier, which may take up to 21 working days from the date the case is opened.
If the parcel is found during this period, it will be re-routed to the delivery address. If the parcel is considered lost, the purchaser will be refunded the amount paid.
During this investigation period, no refunds or returns will be made.
Upon receipt of the order, the buyer is invited to check that the products delivered comply with the order and to indicate, where applicable, any anomalies on the delivery note, accompanied by their signature.
ARTICLE 11: RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND RETURNS
The buyer has seven days from receipt of their order to exercise their right of withdrawal and return all or part of the products ordered to TINI SPORT SRL, for exchange or refund, without penalty and in accordance with current legislation.
Before making a return, the buyer must contact TINI SPORT SRL customer service by email or WhatsApp. They will be given a return number and a return label, which must be affixed to the parcel containing the returned items. Products must be sent to the following address:
TINI SPORT SRL
98 rue des viaducs

Upon receipt of the parcel and after checking the goods, TINI SPORT SRL will confirm receipt by email and indicate the terms of refund or exchange. If a refund is to be made, it will be credited to the credit card or by bank transfer within a maximum of fourteen working days. However, delivery costs remain the responsibility of the purchaser, except in the event of a delivery error or a product that does not comply with the order.
If the product delivered does not correspond to the order (incorrect item, defective product or damaged during transport), TINI SPORT SRL undertakes to organise and cover the costs of the return. In this case, the buyer may choose between receiving a replacement product or a full refund for their purchase, which will be issued upon receipt of the returned item.
If, on the other hand, the goods comply with the order, the buyer retains the right to withdraw or request an exchange. However, in this case, they will be responsible for the return shipping costs, as well as any costs associated with reshipping the new item. Any parcel returned without sufficient postage may be refused, or the corresponding costs will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.
Products must be returned in their original condition, unused, unworn, undamaged and in their complete packaging. No refunds or exchanges will be granted if items are incomplete, damaged, soiled, used or missing their original packaging.
Finally, the buyer acknowledges that certain items are not covered by the right of retraction, in accordance with current legislation: these include personalised or custom-made goods, products that are likely to deteriorate rapidly, and audio, video or computer software recordings that have been unsealed after delivery.
In the event of abusive or repeated returns, TINI SPORT SRL reserves the right to refuse any further orders from the buyer concerned.
