A CUSTOMER’s invoice or invoices are available in the CUSTOMER’s personal space on the EASYLINGE website. The CUSTOMER is informed that the early return of linen, i.e. before the end of the hire period they chose, will not give rise to any reduction of the price set at the time the contract was concluded. Article 7- Payment terms 7.1. If payment is refused, the debit is opposed etc., or if more generally payment is not made in full or only partial payment is made of any sum of money to the service provider, the CUSTOMER will automatically owe interest at the interest rate applied by the Central European Bank (CEB) to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points.

In particular, EASYLINGE reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honour an order from any CUSTOMER who has not settled a previous order in part or in whole or with whom a settlement dispute is pending. Payments made by the CUSTOMER will only be considered definitive following actual receipt of the sums due, by the service provider. Article 8 - Product availability Other than in the event of force majeure or periods when the online store is closed, announced on the website’s home page, response times will, as far as the service provider’s capacities allow, be as chosen by the CUSTOMER at the time of the order.

If the service provider is unable to carry out the service, the CUSTOMER will be notified of this as soon as possible and will have the option of cancelling their order. The CUSTOMER will then have the option of requesting reimbursement of the amounts paid within no more than 30 days of their payment. Article 9 - Guarantee deposit Upon signature of the present contract, EASYLINGE can require the CUSTOMER to pay a guarantee deposit equivalent to the estimated value of the product hired. This guarantee deposit will be kept for the term of the contract: it will be returned to the CUSTOMER once the contract has expired if all the linen hired has been returned and the definitive account for the hire has been raised and cleared by the parties. If the goods hired should not be returned, or should be returned damaged or in poor condition for which the CUSTOMER is at fault, and this is duly ascertained by EASYLINGE, the guarantee deposit shall be retained, notwithstanding application of article 13. Article 10 - Delivery conditions Delivery means the transfer to the CUSTOMER of the physical possession or control of goods. This only occurs following confirmation of payment by the service provider’s bank. The products ordered are delivered in the following way: When ordering, the CUSTOMER chooses whether to collect the products from a depot, or to have them delivered to their address or another other place of their choosing.

The CUSTOMER must ensure it is accurate. If the CUSTOMER is not present on the delivery date, the courier will leave an attempted-delivery card in the letter box, which will allow the CUSTOMER to collect the package at the place and time stated. In this case, and likewise if the CUSTOMER is absent on the day of delivery or return, only the document produced by EASYLINGE or its substitute with regard to the details (number, quantity, quality) of the linen delivered or returned will be authoritative. Article 11 - Delivery errors 11. 1. If at the time of delivery, the original packaging is damaged, torn or open, the CUSTOMER must then check the condition of the items. If they are damaged, the CUSTOMER must refuse the package and issue a reserve on the document provided (package refused as open or damaged). To this end, the CUSTOMER shall state on the document provided and in the form of handwritten reserves accompanied by their signature, any anomaly relating to the delivery (damage, product on the delivery note missing, package damaged, broken products etc.). This check is deemed to have been made once the CUSTOMER, or someone authorised by them, has signed the delivery note. The CUSTOMER shall then, by registered post, confirm these reserves to the courier firm no later than two working days following receipt of the item or items, and shall send a copy of this letter by fax or post to the service provider at the address provided in the website’s legal Information. 11.2. If the package is open, the CUSTOMER shall notify the service provider on the day of delivery, of any claim about a delivery error and/or products not being as stated on the order form in terms of type or quality. Any claim made after this time will be disregarded. If the package is not open, the CUSTOMER has a period of 48 hours from delivery to make the claims stated in the previous paragraph. A claim made by the CUSTOMER about a delivery error or any other difficulty shall be sent by email to the following address: contact@easylinge.com. Any claim not made in accordance with the above rules and within the allotted periods cannot be considered and will release EASYLINGE from any liability with regard to the CUSTOMER. In the event of a delivery error, any product to be reimbursed shall be returned to the service provider in its entirety and in its original packaging. The service provider will be responsible for the costs of return. Article 12. Use – Care The CUSTOMER undertakes to use the goods hired in accordance with their normal use and not to do anything or let anything happen which could damage them. Throughout the hire period, the CUSTOMER is obliged to ensure the care of the hired goods, to protect them from damage, vandalism, overload, bad weather, rain, wind, snow, ice etc. and likewise shall take all necessary care to use and store the hired linen in good conditions. The CUSTOMER formally undertakes not to have linen or clothing belonging to EASYLINGE laundered or maintained by another other business for any reason whatsoever. Any breach of this undertaking will expose the CUSTOMER to immediate payment of the full value of the items supplied to them by EASYLINGE. As a consequence of the foregoing, any damage caused to the fabric as a result of misuse, inappropriate use, negligence, or more generally failure to comply with recommendations, above, the CUSTOMER undertakes to indemnify EASYLINGE for any demand made to it in this regard, in accordance with the assessment made by the service provider. Article 13 - Return of products supplied - Maximum hire period - Penalties In the event of any difficulties or changes to the conditions or periods for return of linen, the CUSTOMER undertakes to inform the platform responsible; its identity and location will be provided at the CUSTOMER’s request.

The CUSTOMER hereby agrees to the sums billed in the event of late return or non-return being debited from the customer’s bank account used for the transaction.

Article 16 - Transfer of risk – Reservation of proprietary rights Transfer of ownership and associated risks of loss and damage will occur following payment of the price by the CUSTOMER.

Article 17 - Force majeure Any circumstances beyond the control of the parties, preventing the performance of their obligations at normal conditions, are deemed causes of exoneration from the parties’ obligations and result in their suspension. The party which invokes the circumstances stated above shall immediately notify the other party of their occurrence and their disappearance. Article 18 - Intellectual property The content of the website (technical documents, drawings, photographs, etc.) remains the property of the service provider which is the sole holder of the intellectual property rights over this content.

This applies to substantive rules and formal rules alike. In the event of a dispute or complaint, the CUSTOMER will turn first to the service provider to reach an out-of-court resolution. If the parties do not manage to do so, they will bring the dispute before the Courts competent for the location of the service provider’s registered office. Article 22 – Cooling-off period The Consumer Code offers the consumer and businesses (at the conditions of article L121-16-1 III) a cooling-off period of 14 days from the conclusion of contract (service provision), on condition that the linen-hire service provision has not been carried out during this period, or from receipt of goods (sale of goods). Cancellation during this cooling-off period can be by email to the following address: contact@easylinge.com, stating that the CUSTOMER wishes to exercise this right in unambiguous terms. If this cancellation right is exercised within the aforesaid allotted period, the price of the contract service bought is reimbursed. The service provider will be responsible for the costs of return.
