General terms and conditions: Personal customers
1. Preamble
The general terms and conditions of sale (referred to hereinafter as the General Terms and Conditions) set out below govern the contractual relations between any personal customer use of the www.tiroirdelou.com website (referred to hereinafter as the Customer) and the tiroirdelou.com merchant belonging to the company 2Z Concept, which is the designer and operator.
2Z Concept SRL is a company incorporated under Belgian law, with a capital of 18,600 euros. The company's registered office is situated in Brussels and the company is entered in the Register of Legal Entities under number RPM 0521.748.746. 2Z Concept SRL is registered for VAT under the code BE 0521.748.746.
These General Terms and Conditions are the only T&Cs that apply; they supersede all other terms and conditions, except where express, written derogation is established. 2Z Concept reserves the right to make modifications to these General Terms and Conditions if the circumstances so justify. The customer is therefore recommended to read them carefully before proceeding to make any purchase via the website. Modifications take effect from the date they are posted online and may not apply to contracts entered into prior to that date.
2Z Concept takes the view that any order confirmation or purchase of a product made by the Customer from the online store at www.tiroirdelou.com and implies prior unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions, with the Customer having read them online at the time of placing the order. The Customer also acknowledges that he/she is aware of the fact that these General Terms and Conditions do not require his/her handwritten signature when he/she wishes to place an online order for the products presented on the website.
The online store put in place by 2Z Concept on its website at www.tiroirdelou.com has been designed to enable Customers to make their purchases with the greatest convenience and in total security. The store provides, among other things, the following information:
· The product catalogues
· The essential features of the various items
· The price in euros of the products, as well as delivery charges, where applicable
· The availability of stock
· The terms of payment and delivery
· The terms on which products can be exchanged and the Customer's right to cancel
The merchant considers the Customer to have full legal competence, enabling him/her to commit to these General Terms and Conditions.
2. Purpose
The aim of these General Terms and Conditions is to state details of the terms of the commercial and contractual relationship between the parties, i.e. between the Customer and 2Z Concept in the context of using the tiroirdelou.com website for the purpose of purchasing goods and services online.
3. Contract
The General Terms and Conditions are, with the order confirmation, the two documents that make up the contract. In the event of any contradiction between these documents, the provisions of the order will take precedence.
4. Period
The contract comes into effect at the time the purchase order is confirmed. The contract is entered into for the period required for the goods and services ordered to be supplied and runs until the warranty period has expired.
5. Electronic signature
A signature in electronic format is established by the authentication and non-repudiation procedure, as well as by the integrity of the messages and the dual confirmation of the order. An electronic signature is recognised under the law to be the equivalent of a handwritten signature.
The final confirmation of the purchase order by the Customer is the equivalent of his/her signature and consequently constitutes the irrevocable acceptance of the contents of the order, which may not be called into question except in the cases provided for in these General Terms and Conditions, such as the "right to cancel" and "out of stock".
6. Acceptance of orders
Orders that have been given final confirmation by the Customer still need to be accepted by tiroirdelou.com. Orders will be the subject of a confirmation sent by electronic mail, confirming acceptance and at the same time, and as a reminder, providing the contractual information associated with the purchase.
It is recommended that the Customer retain the details relating to his/her order in such a way that these details can easily be reproduced should the need arise. Indeed, the customer service department at tiroirdelou.com may well ask the Customer to provide this information, in full or in part, for any communication relating to a purchase.
The Customer remains entirely responsible for the quality and accuracy of the information he/she provides to the tiroirdelou.com website. The operating company, 2Z Concept, cannot be held liable for any consequences, in particular in relation to delivery, relating to a lack of information on the part of the Customer. Any reshipping costs involved as a result will be charged to the Customer.
Orders will not be finally accepted until payment has been made in full for all amounts owed at the time of the order. The tiroirdelou.com website offers multiple methods of making secure payment in its ordering process.

The two parties will then meet, within a period of one month, unless such a meeting is not possible due to force majeure, to examine the effect of the event and to agree the terms on which fulfilment of the contract can be resumed. If the case of force majeure continues for a period in excess of three months, these General Terms and Conditions may be terminated by the injured party.
