Terms and Conditions of Sale
These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter the "General Terms") apply between Iné company (hereinafter "we") and any consumer (hereinafter "you") placing an order on the website www.ine.fr (hereinafter the "Site"). Sales on the Site are exclusively intended for consumers purchasing items for their personal use, excluding any resale. The General Terms may be modified at any time. The version of the General Terms applicable is the one accessible on the Site at the time of your order. Unique REP ID for textile/footwear sector: FR396975_11DYHC
ARTICLE 1. Acceptance of General Terms
By checking the box "I accept the terms and conditions" before confirming your order, you acknowledge having fully read the General Terms and accept them without reservation. No special conditions or other general conditions from you can prevail over these terms without our express agreement. Any contrary condition set by you will therefore, in the absence of express acceptance by us, be unenforceable regardless of when it may have been brought to our attention. The fact that we do not enforce any of these General Terms at any given time cannot be interpreted as a waiver of our right to enforce any of said conditions later.
ARTICLE 2. Items for Sale on the Site
The items offered for sale are those appearing on the Site on the day of your order. Items are offered for sale subject to stock availability. We make our best efforts to present and describe the items for sale as accurately as possible, respecting colors, dimensions, and proportions. However, photographs, texts, and any other description of items may not perfectly reflect their true appearance. For this reason, in case of dissatisfaction upon receipt of your order, you benefit from the rights described in Article 7.
ARTICLE 3. Item Prices
The prices of items offered for sale are expressed in Euros including all taxes, excluding delivery costs. We may change item prices at any time. The prices applicable to your order are therefore those shown on the Site at the time of ordering. Delivery costs are additional. Delivery rates depend on the destination, weight, and volume of the package. Details of the total amount will be shown on the "Payment" page summarizing your order.
ARTICLE 4. Orders
To place an order, you must be a capable adult or an emancipated minor. Furthermore, there must not be any ongoing dispute between us regarding payment of a previous order, and your order must comply with the General Terms. You must have a customer account, which you can create online on the Site. Creating a customer account requires you to provide the following information: Name, first name, email address, password. Account creation is possible during the ordering process.
To place your order on the Site, you must select the chosen item, size and quantity, then click on the "Add to cart" button. You can then either continue shopping or complete your order by clicking on the "Proceed to Payment" button. To continue with the order, you must acknowledge and accept the General Terms by checking the box "I have read and accept the general terms and conditions of sale". A summary of selected items, their brief description and their individual and total prices then appear on screen. You must ensure the accuracy of this summarized information before confirming your order. You then click on the "Proceed to payment" button. You then enter the process of finalizing the purchase of items in your cart. You enter your contact details and check your order information (and correct them if necessary by clicking on the "Cart" step in the top left). Then, you click on "Continue to shipping" and choose your shipping method. You click on "Continue to payment" and enter the codes for your selected payment method and confirm the order. You can verify one last time the information and details of your order at the "Confirmation" step before proceeding to final payment by clicking on "Validate payment". Once your order is confirmed this way, you can no longer modify it on the Site. Your order is registered by us once your banking details are verified and your bank card debit authorization is received according to the procedure described in Article 5.1. Once your order is registered, we will send you an email summarizing your order. If, despite our vigilance, ordered items are no longer in stock, we will inform you of their unavailability and proceed with the refund of products we were unable to ship.
ARTICLE 5. Payment
Payment is made by credit card CB, Visa and PayPal by providing the required information on the Site's payment page. Your credit card will only be charged once your banking details have been verified and your credit card debit authorization has been received. We retain ownership of the items until complete payment of the order, meaning until the full order price has been collected. The currency used for the transaction is the Euro. The amount debited from the credit card account will depend on the Euro exchange rate on the day of debit and any exchange fees charged by the card-issuing bank. We reserve the right to ask you to justify the personal data you provide to us in order to verify that the person whose bank account is debited is indeed the person who placed the order. This verification may take the form of a request for proof of identity and/or residence and/or banking documents (bank details or voided check). If you fail to respond to such a request within 7 days following our request, we will not proceed with the delivery of your order or the debit of your credit card. Delivery times will be suspended until receipt of all requested information and documents. For any payment-related questions, you can contact customer service according to the terms provided in Article 9.
Payment Security
Payment is made through a secure platform. We do not store the provided bank details. Information related to your order is subject to automated data processing by PAYPLUG and Stripe. The purpose of this automated data processing is to define a transaction analysis level and to prevent credit card fraud. Your invoice will be available, downloadable, and printable in the "my account/Order History" section once your order has been shipped.
ARTICLE 6. Delivery
We deliver to metropolitan France, Monaco, and Corsica. For metropolitan France, Monaco, and Corsica, we provide shipping and delivery within seven (7) business days from the day following your order registration.

You will then be refunded the full amount paid corresponding to the returned items accepted by customer service, as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days from our receipt of the returned items.

Pursuant to Article L221-18 of the Consumer Code, you have fourteen (14) clear days (which we extend to 1 month for all orders placed between December 1st and 23rd) from the date of receipt of your order to exchange the purchased item(s), subject to the availability of items with which you wish to make the exchange.
For the exchange to be accepted, you must imperatively return the items: in their original packaging, unworn, in a condition allowing their resale as new, accompanied by the delivery note you received with your order.
To proceed with an exchange, you must submit a return request on the Site under the right of exchange. The return is at the customer's expense.
Upon receipt of your return and subject to verification, you will be contacted by our customer service to proceed with the shipment of your pair in the new desired size at our expense.
Any product return must be subject to a formal agreement between us and the customer and be returned within 3 days following the agreement. After this period, no return can be accepted.
Any return accepted by us in the case of an apparent defect or non-conformity of delivered products, which will be noted by us, will allow the customer to obtain free replacement or the issuance of a credit note in their favor, excluding any other compensation or damages. The transfer of product ownership to the customer only takes effect after complete payment of the price by the latter.
We bear the risks of loss and deterioration of products until the delivery of said products to the customer. The transfer of risks therefore occurs from the moment the customer (or a person designated by them) has received the products.

ARTICLE 14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
The General Terms and Conditions are governed by French law.
Claims or disputes will always be received and addressed with careful attention, as good faith is always presumed in those who take the effort to raise an issue. Upon receipt of the products, the client must ensure the delivery complies with the order. Any damages must be recorded as specific, dated, and signed reservations on the delivery receipt.
All claims must be made within 15 business days after receiving the order, by contacting our customer service via the "Contact" form on the Site. The claim must include supporting documents for the damage suffered (e.g., transport letter, photos of the received package).
In case of a dispute, the client must first contact Iné’s Customer Service to resolve the issue amicably.
If this approach fails, the client may refer the matter to the online mediation service of CMAP (Centre de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Paris), accessible at the URL: http://www.cmap.fr, or by postal mail:
CMAP (Service Médiation de la Consommation)
39 avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt

For the referral to CMAP to be valid, it must include:
- Your postal, email, and telephone contact information;
- The full name and address of our company;
- A brief statement of the facts; and
- Proof of prior steps taken to resolve the issue directly with us.
Under the applicable mediation rules, it is reminded that consumer disputes must first be submitted in writing to Iné's Customer Service before filing a mediation request with CMAP.
The mediator will not review disputes in cases where:
- The request is manifestly unfounded or abusive;
- The dispute has already been examined or is under review by another mediator or court;
- The client submits the mediation request more than one year after their written claim to us;
- The dispute does not fall within the mediator's jurisdiction; or
- The client does not provide proof of attempts to resolve the dispute directly with us through written correspondence as stipulated in the contract.
For disputes arising from the application of the General Terms and Conditions, only French courts will have jurisdiction.
