This translation is provided for information only. Only the French version is legally binding.

A transparent framework.

Article 1 . Purpose

These terms and conditions of sale govern all sales made on the website modus-horlogerie.fr, operated by INOVEA GROUP SAS. Placing an order implies the customer’s full, complete and unreserved acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Article 2 . Products

The watches and accessories offered for sale are described as accurately as possible. Photographs illustrate the products but are not contractually binding. Modus Horlogerie reserves the right to change the composition, materials and technical specifications of its products at any time with a view to continuous improvement.

Article 3 . Prices

Prices are shown in euros, including all taxes (French VAT applicable). Modus Horlogerie reserves the right to change its prices at any time, it being understood that products are invoiced at the rates in force when the order is confirmed. Any shipping costs are displayed before payment is completed.

Article 4 . Orders

An order is confirmed once the customer has approved the order summary and the payment. A confirmation email is sent immediately. Modus Horlogerie reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a customer with whom a dispute concerning payment for a previous order is ongoing.

Article 5 . Payment

Payment is made online through the secure Shopify Payments platform, which accepts bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. Payment data is encrypted and never passes through our servers. Payment in three or four interest-free instalments may be offered, depending on the partners available.

Article 6 . Delivery

Orders are prepared and shipped from our workshop in Lyon within 24 to 48 working hours. In mainland France, delivery is free, either to your home by Colissimo within 48 hours with tracking (signature option at €2.90), or to a pickup point or parcel locker (Mondial Relay, Relais Colis, Chronopost, La Poste), the point being chosen right after payment. Outside France, delivery is handled by DHL Express within 3 to 7 working days depending on the destination. A tracking number is always provided. Watches designed in the configurator are built to order according to the configuration chosen by the customer, then adjusted and checked before shipping. They are delivered to the customer’s home only; for an address in mainland France, they arrive within nine (9) days of the order, delivery included; for international orders, the DHL Express transit time is added.

Article 7 . Right of withdrawal

In accordance with article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation), which governs the right of withdrawal for distance sales, the customer has thirty (30) days from receipt of the order to exercise the right of withdrawal, without having to give reasons or pay any penalty. The product must be returned in its original packaging, unworn, undamaged and with all its accessories. Return costs are paid by Modus Horlogerie in mainland France.

Article 8 . 3-year warranty

All Modus Horlogerie watches come with a three (3) year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of purchase, covering any manufacturing defect affecting the movement, the stated water resistance or general operation. The warranty does not cover damage caused by impact, misuse, opening by an unauthorised third party, or normal wear of the strap or crystal. After-sales service is handled entirely in France, at our workshop in Lyon.

Article 9 . Liability

Modus Horlogerie cannot be held liable for failure to perform the contract in the event of force majeure, disruption of postal services or means of transport, flood, fire or any other circumstance beyond its control.

Article 10 . Governing law

These terms and conditions are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought first. Failing that, the French courts shall have sole jurisdiction. The customer may also use the European online dispute resolution platform.
