When you click an icon whose label or presentation engages a commitment that any user would understand, you are bound by your click. This is for example the case of icons entitled “Validation”, “Payment” or any similar title.

The order process allows the correction of errors, as well as the identification of languages in which the contract can be concluded when multiple languages are available.

The order process makes it easy to understand which methods of payment are accepted, the delivery methods offered and the relative costs.

By clicking on the button “Confirm my order” you place a firm order for the items in the shopping cart. The confirmation of receipt of the order is made immediately after receipt of the order. This confirmation of receipt of the order does not constitute a firm acceptance of it.
