Dupont, or on the Website.

However, although the photographs and other depictions of the items represent them faithfully on the Website and in the shops and distribution network of S.T. Dupont – within the limits imposed by technology and in adherence to the best market standards – they should only be regarded as indicative and are not contractually binding. More generally, the Company cannot be held responsible for the following:

• Any interruptions or delays in accessing or using the Website due to maintenance work, technical faults, an event of force majeure, third-party intervention or any circumstances of whatever nature, over which S.T. Dupont has no control;
• The customer's or Company's inability temporarily to gain access to the Website due to circumstances over which S.T. Dupont has no control, such as computer failures, internet network interruptions or faults with the equipment the customer uses to access the internet

4.1 Orders

The telecommunication costs incurred when accessing the internet and using the Website shall be payable by the customer. To buy a product when placing his or her first order customers will be required to open an account and to complete an order form, filling in the mandatory fields, in order for their selection to be processed by the Company. In the event of prolonged inactivity during the connection, it is possible that any selection made by the customer before this inactivity will no longer be available. Customers will be asked to restart the product selection process from the beginning. All the steps required to conclude the sale will be specified on the Website. Before completing their order, customers will have the option of verifying the details of their order and the total price, as well as to correct any mistakes, before confirming the order to express their acceptance. After the customer confirms their order, the Company will acknowledge receipt thereof promptly by e-mail. However, the sale will only be deemed final once the order confirmation has been sent to the customer by the Company. Only shipped items will be debited, together with the shipping costs.

We only accept orders from customers aged 18 and over.

We only sell our products to consumers. Your order on our Website must not be made for or on behalf of any business activity and must be placed strictly for your personal use. We will acknowledge receipt of your order without delay by sending a confirmation email, but this confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order. Your order will only be accepted when it is dispatched, and you receive a dispatch email. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you and tell you have accepted and dispatched your order, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, or we have identified and error price or description of the product, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified or if the order is not in accordance with these Terms of Sale. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4.2 Refusal of orders

The Company shall be entitled to refuse any abnormal order or orders placed in bad faith. Moreover, the Company shall be entitled to refuse any order placed by a customer with whom there is a dispute regarding payment for a previous order.

Customers may contact the customer service team responsible for the Company's Website with any questions they may have about their order by e-mail : enquiries@stdupont.com.hk

The prices displayed on the Website are given in euros and include all taxes, but exclude shipping costs.
The prices invoiced are those in effect on the date of the order.

The costs of shipping the items will be automatically displayed on the Website during confirmation of the shipping method (express or standard mail) and the country of delivery chosen by the customer and will again be communicated to the customer when their order is confirmed by e-mail.

On delivery, customers will receive written confirmation of the price paid and the shipping costs invoiced to them for each item. The invoice is available in the customer's account.

We accept payment by credit card Visa, MasterCard or American Express and Paypal. The order will only be confirmed if the goods are available and the transaction will be immediately debited to the customer's bank card following verification of the card details, upon receipt of the debit authorisation from the issuer of the bank card used by the customer. Payments made using a payment card are irreversible. By communicating their bank card number and the information indicated below, customers authorise S.T. Dupont to debit their bank card with the total amount of their order (including taxes and shipping costs).

For this purpose, customers guarantee that they are the holder of the bank card to be debited and that the name shown on this bank card is their own. They then communicate the sixteen-digit number and expiry date shown on the front of the bank card, and the security number shown on the back of the card, in a secure payment system. If for whatever reason the amount due cannot be debited from the customer's account, the sale will be terminated immediately and automatically, and the electronic purchasing process will be cancelled.

Payments through our Website are managed on-line with the relevant banking organizations through facilities offered by Ingenico, a third party based in France which enables us to accept and manage payments, mitigate fraud, and secure payment data. Your personal information including your name, email address, delivery details, telephone number, details of the order placed and credit card or other payment details will be disclosed and used by Ingenico exclusively for the purposes of providing fraud screening services to us and to its own customers, as further detailed in our Privacy Policy.

To combat online fraud, S.T. Dupont has chosen to use the 3D Secure system. The 3D Secure standard is based on the principle of requesting additional information known to the bank and the card holder during a transaction. This enables strong authentication of customers making online payments.
When making a payment on a merchant site displaying the "MasterCard Secure Code" and "Verified by Visa" logos, a new window appears to request the payer's personal information. Each bank is free to choose its authentication method. The information entered is checked to ensure that the internet user making the transaction is indeed the holder of the card being used. If you do not yet have your confidential 3D Secure code, we urge you to contact your bank. This authentication process is mandatory and any refusal or incorrect entry of the payer's personal information will result in the cancellation of the transaction. The display of the payment receipt in the customer's web browser indicates that the payment has been accepted and that the customer's bank card has been debited. Any unpaid amount due to the fraudulent use of a bank card will result in the information associated with the order being logged in a "payment incidents" file. A false declaration or any other anomaly may also be processed separately. If for any reason whatsoever (objection, refusal by the card issuer, etc.) the amounts due for payment by the customer cannot be debited, the online purchasing process will be immediately cancelled.

tems can only be delivered to:

• The customer's usual place of residence ;
• A collection point selected by the customer when placing the order
• To the delivery address indicated by the customer when placing the order, provided that this address corresponds to the habitual place of residence of a third-party beneficiary chosen by the customer and habitually resident in continental Hong Kong.

Or, failing this, to the address of the company for which the customer works, which must be located in Hong Kong;

Notwithstanding the above, delivery may not under any circumstances be made to a hotel, a post box, or to any other temporary address.In this regard, customers agree to communicate the correct address of their habitual residence when confirming an order.

The items shall be delivered to the delivery address indicated by the customer after payment of the order amount has been registered. Delivery of the items ordered will take place:

• The Company will deliver the items ordered by standard or express mail, as chosen by the customer. It is hereby stipulated that any re-delivery of an order due to the customer being absent from the place of delivery at the time and on the date agreed upon will result in the customer being charged for the re-delivery costs incurred by the Company.
• Delivery will only be made in Hong Kong.

The products ordered remain the property of S.T. Dupont until the entire payment has been received by S.T. Dupont.

However, the customer shall assume the risks (especially of loss, theft or deterioration) concerning the goods delivered as of the actual delivery date.
