Prior to any transaction, the buyer declares to have full legal capacity, allowing him/her to commit to the present general sales conditions.
HYGECO reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions of sale at any time, in order to comply with any new regulation or in order to improve the use of its site. Therefore, the applicable conditions shall be those in force at the date of the order by the Buyer.
Article 2. Products

The sale of the products presented on the website www.shop.hygeco.com is intended for all buyers residing in countries that fully authorise the entry of these products into their territory.
Article 3. Prices
The prices appearing on the product sheets of the internet catalogue are prices in Euros (€) excluding taxes (HT).

Article 4. Order and payment terms
Before placing an order, the buyer must create an account on the website www.shop.hygeco.com. The account creation section is accessible directly from the side menu bar. At each visit, the Buyer, if he wishes to order or to consult his account (status of orders, profile...), shall identify himself using this information. HYGECO proposes to the Buyer to order and pay for its products in several steps, with 3 payment options to choose from:
- Payment by bank transfer on the due date of the invoice if the Buyer has opened an account with HYGECO: the Buyer selects the products he/she wishes to order in the "shopping cart", modifies if necessary (quantities, references...), verifies the delivery address or enters a new one. Then, the shipping costs are calculated and submitted to the buyer. Then, the buyer chooses the payment method of his choice: "Payment by bank transfer". Finally, the last step offers the buyer to check all the information, to read and accept the present general terms and conditions of sale by ticking the corresponding box, and then invites the buyer to validate the order by clicking on the "Confirm my order" button. This last click constitutes the final conclusion of the contract. As soon as the order is validated, the buyer receives an order form confirming the registration of his/her order.
- Secure payment by credit card: the buyer selects the products he/she wishes to order in the "basket", modifies if necessary (quantities, references, etc.), checks the delivery address or enters a new one. Then, the shipping costs are calculated and submitted to the buyer, as well as the name of the carrier. Then, the buyer chooses the payment method of his choice: "Payment by card". The next step is to check all the information, read and accept the present general terms and conditions of sale by ticking the corresponding box, and then confirm the order by clicking on the "Confirm my order" button. Finally, the buyer is redirected to the secure interface in order to safely enter their credit card details. If the payment is accepted, the order is recorded and the contract is definitively formed. Payment by credit card is irrevocable.
- Payment by SEPA direct debit: the buyer selects the products he/she wishes to order in the "basket", modifies if necessary (quantities, references...), checks the delivery address or enters a new one. Then, the shipping costs are calculated and submitted to the buyer, as well as the name of the carrier. Then, the buyer chooses the payment method of his choice: "Payment by SEPA". The next step is to check all the information, read and accept the present general terms and conditions of sale by ticking the corresponding box, and then to validate the order by clicking on the "Pay with SEPA" button. Finally, the buyer is redirected to the secure interface in order to safely enter the bank details of the account to be debited. If the direct debit is accepted, the order is recorded and the contract is definitively formed.
Confirmation of an order implies acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale, acknowledgement of having full knowledge of them and waiver of the right to invoke its own terms and conditions of purchase. All the data provided and the recorded confirmation will be considered as proof of the transaction.
