The Site is an e-commerce platform that allows Internet users (hereinafter referred to as "Buyers") to purchase pairs of shoes offered for sale on the Site (hereinafter referred to as "Products").
The purpose of these general terms and conditions is to define the terms and conditions of the online sale and delivery of the Products, as well as to define the rights and obligations of the parties in this context.
They are accessible and printable at any time via a direct link at the bottom of the Site.
The applicable version of the general terms and conditions is the one that can be consulted online on the Site on the date of the Buyer's order, a copy of which is sent to him/her with his/her order confirmation.
These general terms and conditions of sale prevail over any other general or special terms and conditions not expressly approved by CAVAL.
They may be supplemented, where applicable, by special terms of use for certain services offered on the Site, which supplement these general terms and conditions and, in the event of contradiction, prevail over the latter.
The Site is operated by CAVAL, SAS, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number 830 984 860, whose registered office is located at 54 avenue Aristide Briand - 92160 Antony (hereinafter: " CAVAL "), which offers the Products for sale.

- Any legal entity acting through a natural person who has the legal capacity to contract in the name and on behalf of the legal entity.
3.2 Acceptance of the general conditions
The acceptance of these general conditions by the Buyer is materialized by a box to be ticked in the order form. This acceptance can only be full and complete. Any acceptance under reserve is considered null and void. The Buyer who does not accept to be bound by the present general conditions must not place an order on the Site.
4.1 Any Buyer may place an order for one or more Products without having previously registered on the Site. However, he/she may choose to register on the Site by filling in the form provided for this purpose.
In all cases, the Buyer must provide all the information marked as mandatory.
In the event that the Buyer wishes to register on the Site, any incomplete registration will not be validated.
Registration automatically leads to the opening of an account in the Purchaser's name (hereinafter: the "Account"), giving the Purchaser access to a personal space (hereinafter: the "Personal Space") which allows the Purchaser to manage his or her purchases in a form and according to the technical means that CAVAL deems the most appropriate.
The Purchaser warrants that all information provided in the registration form is accurate, current and truthful and is not misleading.
The Buyer undertakes to update this information in his Personal Space in case of modifications (in particular: change of postal address), so that they always correspond to the above-mentioned criteria. The Buyer is informed and accepts that the information entered for the purpose of creating or updating his Account is proof of his identity. The information entered by the Buyer is binding upon validation.
4.2 The Buyer may access his Personal Space at any time after having identified himself using his login and password.
The Buyer undertakes to use his Account personally and not to allow any third party to use it in his place or on his behalf, unless he bears full responsibility.
The Buyer is likewise responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his or her user name and password, and any access to the Site using them is deemed to have been made by the Buyer. The Purchaser must immediately contact CAVAL at the address and phone number mentioned in article 2 of these Terms and Conditions if he/she notices that his/her Account has been used without his/her knowledge.
Before placing an order online, and in accordance with the provisions of article L111-1 of the French Consumer Code, the Buyer may examine the characteristics of each Product he/she wishes to order on the Site.
The Buyer has the possibility to :
- Order the Product he/she wishes to buy online, within the limits of available stocks, or to
- Pre-order the Product when it is no longer available in stock.
In these two cases, some Products can be personalized by the Buyer during the order or the pre-order, in particular by adding initials, a particular handmade design when this option is proposed by CAVAL, or colors.
The photographs and descriptions of the Products offered for sale online are as accurate as possible. They are only binding on CAVAL for what is precisely indicated. The Buyer is however informed and accepts that some characteristics of the Products and notably their colour may not correspond exactly to the photographs presented on the Site, due to technical constraints, in particular in the case of Products customised by the Buyer.
6.1 Placing an order
When the Buyer has created an Account on the Site
To place an order, the Buyer must, after logging in, select the Product of his choice and place it in his basket.
The Buyer may access the summary of his/her basket at any time before the order is definitively validated and may correct any errors in the elements entered.
The order is deemed to have been received by CAVAL when CAVAL has confirmation of the payment made by the Purchaser.
When the Purchaser has not created an Account on the Site
As part of the order, the Purchaser is asked to provide his or her contact information for delivery and billing purposes.
He must fill in all the fields marked as mandatory in the form provided for this purpose. Orders that do not include all the required information cannot be validated.
The Buyer guarantees that all the information he/she gives in the order form is accurate, up-to-date and sincere and is not misleading.
