– the selection of a Product and its addition to the cart;

A minimum order amount may apply depending on the destination; it is indicated on the "Delivery and shipping" page and before payment.
Order Confirmation
Once payment has been made, the Customer receives an automatic confirmation by email to the address provided during their order. This confirmation summarizes the Products ordered, confirms the registration of the order, and indicates its status.
Final Validation of Orders
The Company reserves the right not to process an order:
– in the event of payment difficulties reported by the banking institution;
– in the event of an abnormal request regarding its content, frequency, or intent;
– more generally, in the presence of legitimate grounds.
In this case, the Customer is informed by email. They are not charged or are refunded as soon as possible, using the same payment method used for the order.
Price and Payment
Price
Product prices are indicated in euros, including all taxes at the current VAT rate. They do not include delivery costs, which are indicated to the Customer before the order is validated. The Company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time; the applicable price is the one displayed when the order is validated.
Payment
Products are paid for using secure payment services: bank card (CB, Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, or PayPal in 4 interest-free installments. Payment is due upon ordering.
Delivery
Delivery zones, methods, and costs
The Company delivers to mainland France, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Delivery methods, rates, lead times, any geographical surcharges, and minimum order amounts are detailed on the "Delivery and shipping" page of the Site and are indicated to the Customer before the order is validated.
Lead times
Orders are shipped within 1 to 3 business days after receipt of payment. Transport times are indicative and run from the date of shipment. In the absence of an indication, delivery occurs no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract, in accordance with Article L. 216-1 of the Consumer Code.
Procedures
Products are delivered to the address indicated by the Customer, at the doorstep (at the bottom of the building or in front of the address entrance). The Customer is informed of the delivery by email and SMS and can, depending on the options offered by the carrier, change the date, address, or choose a pick-up point. Bulky items are delivered by appointment, without being carried upstairs or installed.
Incorrect address or uncollected parcel
If the parcel is returned to the Company due to an incorrect or incomplete address, or because the Customer failed to receive or collect it, the re-shipment costs are at the Customer's expense.
Transfer of risks
In accordance with Article L. 216-4 of the Consumer Code, the transfer of risks occurs when the Customer, or a third party designated by them, takes physical possession of the Products.
Receipt of Products
The Customer is invited to check the condition of their parcel upon receipt and to report any anomaly (damaged parcel, missing or damaged Product) as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours, by email to contact@cosydar-deco.com, by attaching photos of the parcel and the Products. This prompt reporting allows the Company to exercise its recourse against the carrier; it does not deprive the Customer of their rights under the legal guarantee of conformity.
Retention of Title
The Company retains full ownership of the sold Products until the price has been paid in full by the Customer.
Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with Articles L. 221-18 and following of the Consumer Code, the consumer Customer, as well as the professional Customer when the purchase does not fall within the scope of their main activity and they employ five employees or fewer, has a period of fourteen (14) days from the day after receipt of the Products to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to provide reasons.
For an order of several Products delivered separately, or of a Product delivered in several parts, the period runs from the receipt of the last Product or the last part. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, it is extended to the next business day.
The Customer informs the Company of their decision by email to contact@cosydar-deco.com or via the Site's contact form, indicating their name, first name, telephone, email, the Products concerned, and their date of receipt.
Products must be returned complete, in adequate packaging ensuring their good condition, to the address indicated by the Company, no later than fourteen (14) days after the notification of the withdrawal. Return costs are at the Customer's expense.
In accordance with Article L. 221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for Products made to the Customer's specifications or clearly personalized (notably custom-made items).
Legal guarantees of conformity and hidden defects
In accordance with Articles L. 217-3 and following of the Consumer Code, the Company is required to deliver goods that comply with the contract and is liable for defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery and appearing within a period of two (2) years from then. The Customer may obtain the repair or replacement of the Product or, failing that, a price reduction or cancellation of the sale.
The Customer may also invoke the guarantee against hidden defects provided for in Articles 1641 and following of the Civil Code, within a period of two (2) years from the discovery of the defect. They can then choose between the cancellation of the sale or a price reduction, in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
The Product concerned must be returned in adequate packaging. Return costs are then covered by the Company.
Refusal of delivery and cancellation after shipment
In the event of a refusal to accept a Product by the Customer from the carrier, without legitimate grounds (excluding the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the legal guarantee of conformity, or the guarantee against hidden defects), the outbound delivery costs and the costs of returning the Product to the Company remain at the Customer's expense. The Company will refund the price of the Products, minus these costs, upon receipt of the returned Products.
Similarly, if the Customer requests the cancellation of their order after it has been shipped, the outbound and return delivery costs remain at their expense and are deducted from the refund.
Refund
Right of Withdrawal
In the event of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Company will refund the consumer Customer for all sums paid, including initial delivery costs, up to the cost of the cheapest standard delivery offered by the Company. Return shipping costs for the Products remain at the Customer's expense, in accordance with Article L. 221-23 of the Consumer Code.
The refund is made no later than fourteen (14) days following the date on which the Company is informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw. The Company may defer the refund until the Products are recovered or until the Customer has provided proof of their shipment, whichever occurs first.
The refund is made using the same payment method used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to another method.
The Company may withhold an amount corresponding to the depreciation of the Products resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and proper functioning.
Legal Guarantees
In the event of the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity or the guarantee against hidden defects resulting in a refund, the Company will refund the Customer the price of the Product as well as the delivery and return costs.
Customer Obligations
The Customer undertakes to provide accurate information about themselves and must have the legal capacity to place an order. During an online payment, they certify that they are fully authorized to use the chosen payment method.

The Company strives to provide reliable and high-quality information about the Products on the Site. Before any shipment, it checks the conformity of the Products with the Customer's order.
