The Customer must, under penalty of forfeiture, take any action against the carrier within three days of receiving the Product, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, in accordance with Article L 133-3 of the French Commercial Code;


- Check that the Product conforms to the order and look for any apparent defects or missing items.

Return of e-commerce order

To the attention of Mr. Hugo PICAPER

12 rue de Barye

75017 PARIS

To exercise their right of withdrawal, the Customer must send a request by email to contact@belaova.fr, specifying "Return Request" in the subject line. The Seller provides a standard withdrawal form at the end of this document. If the end of the 14-day period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day.

The Customer must return the Products, at their own expense and risk, within 14 days of notifying their decision to withdraw, ensuring that they are in their original packaging, complete, and unused. Items returned incomplete, damaged, or soiled will not be accepted.

9.2. Exclusions

According to Article L121-20-2 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the customer's specifications or personalized, or to goods that cannot be returned due to their nature. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to inspect any returned product and may refuse a refund if the product is damaged, used, or unsaleable.

Thus, it is specified that for any order of cigar humidors requested with custom characteristics or including personalizations, any right of withdrawal is excluded.

9.3. Reimbursement

The Seller will refund the Customer within 14 days of receiving the returned Products. The refund will be issued via the same payment method used by the Customer for the original order.

10. Limitations of Liability

BELAOVA shall not be liable to the Client or third parties for any indirect damage resulting from orders placed for professional purposes, including loss of profits, revenue or data, whatever the cause.

BELAOVA's liability is limited to a maximum amount equal to the total amount excluding taxes of the Order.

Furthermore, the inability to use the Products, particularly due to hardware incompatibility or unsuitability for the Customer's needs, shall under no circumstances render the Company liable or give rise to damages or a refund. 8


Furthermore, it is understood that any delivery delay shall not justify the cancellation of a pending order, nor give rise to compensation for any direct or indirect consequences. The Company is not liable for delays attributable to carriers or to events of force majeure, such as strikes, accidents, or natural disasters, which are beyond its control.

Finally, the company cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from misuse or non-conformity of the products, and any claim must be made according to the established procedures.

11. Guarantees and After-Sales Service

BELAOVA is subject to the legal guarantees of conformity (articles L.211-4 to L.211-14 of the Consumer Code) and of hidden defects (articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code), in accordance with legal requirements.

The provisions of the following articles of the Consumer Code and the Civil Code are recalled:

Article L211-4 of the Consumer Code:

The seller must provide goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity present at the time of delivery. This also includes defects related to packaging, assembly instructions, or installation, if these aspects were the seller's responsibility.

Article L211-5 of the Consumer Code:

To be deemed compliant with the contract, a good must:

1. Be suitable for the intended use of a similar product and, where applicable:

- To correspond to the description provided by the seller and to possess the qualities presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;

- Have the characteristics that the buyer can reasonably expect, based on the public statements of the seller, the producer or their representative, particularly in advertisements or labeling.

2. Or comply with the characteristics agreed between the parties, or be suitable for a special use that the Customer has indicated and that the seller has accepted.

Article L211-12 of the Consumer Code:

The action for lack of conformity is time-barred after two years from the delivery of the goods.

Article L211-16 of the Consumer Code:

If the buyer requests a repair under a commercial warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days will extend the warranty by the remaining duration. This 9


The time limit begins from the date of the request for intervention or the date the property is made available for repair, if the latter occurs after the request.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code:

The seller is responsible for hidden defects which render the goods unfit for their intended use, or which diminish their use to such an extent that the buyer would not have acquired them, or would have offered only a reduced price, if they had been aware of them.

Article 1648 of the Civil Code, paragraph 1:

The action for hidden defects must be initiated by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect.

Under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer:

- Has two years from delivery to take action;

- May opt for repair or replacement of the goods, subject to the costs stipulated by Article L.211-9 of the Consumer Code;

- Is not required to prove the lack of conformity during the six months following delivery, a period which has been extended to twenty-four months since March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.

This legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may be offered.

The consumer can also invoke the warranty against hidden defects as defined in Article 1641 of the Civil Code, choosing between cancellation of the sale or a price reduction, according to Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

14. Force Majeure

BELAOVA shall not be held liable for the total or partial non-performance of its contractual obligations if such non-performance results from a force majeure event as defined by law and case law. This includes situations such as strikes, interruptions in transport and communication services, disruptions in the supply of raw materials, as well as natural disasters such as floods or fires.

The Company will inform the Client of the occurrence of such an event within eight days of its occurrence.

If the suspension of the Company's obligations continues beyond thirty days, the Customer will have the option to cancel their order, resulting in a refund from the Seller.

16. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTC) are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the Customer must first contact the Company's customer service department to try to find an amicable solution.

Any dispute relating to the formation, interpretation, performance, or termination of the contractual relationship between the Client and the Company, as well as any related actions, shall, in the absence of an amicable agreement, be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Client's domicile, unless the Client is a merchant. In that case, the Commercial Court of the Company's registered office shall have jurisdiction.

The Customer is informed that they may also resort to conventional mediation methods, in particular with the Consumer Mediation Commission (Consumer Code art. L 534-7), or other sector-specific mediation bodies, as well as any alternative dispute resolution method, such as conciliation. 11
