The seller reserves the right to ask the customer to confirm, by any appropriate means, his identity, his eligibility and the information provided.

SilentWorker undertakes to present the essential characteristics of the products (on the description of each of the product sheets available on the site) and the compulsory information that the customer must receive under the applicable law (in these General Conditions). The customer undertakes to read this information carefully before placing an order on the site. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the site, all products sold by the seller are new and comply with current European legislation and standards applicable in France.

In accordance with article 4 of the decree n°78-464 of March 24, 1978, the provisions of present cannot deprive the consumer of the legal guarantee which obliges the professional salesman to guarantee it against all the consequences of the hidden defects of the sold thing. The consumer is expressly informed that SilentWorker is not the producer of the products presented within the framework of Internet site, within the meaning of the law n°98-389 of May 19, 1998 and relating to the responsibility because of the defective products. Consequently, in the event of damage caused with a person or a good by a defect of the product, only the responsibility for the producer of this one could be sought by the consumer, on the basis of information being reproduced on the packing of the product.

Article L.217-4 of the French Consumer Code: "The seller is required to deliver goods in conformity with the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery. He is also responsible for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter has been put at his charge by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility." Article L.217-5 of the Consumer Code:
To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must:
1° Be fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable:
- correspond to the description given by the seller and have the qualities that the latter has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labeling;
2° Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and that the latter has accepted.
SilentWorker is required to deliver a product that conforms to the use expected of a similar good and corresponding to the description given on the site. This conformity also assumes that the product has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, including in advertising and on labels.

In case of lack of conformity, the customer may request the replacement or repair of the product, at his choice. However, if the cost of the customer's choice is clearly disproportionate to the other option, taking into account the value of the PRODUCT or the importance of the defect, the SELLER may proceed to a refund, without following the option chosen by the customer. In the event that a replacement or repair is not possible, the SELLER undertakes to refund the price paid by the customer for the product within 30 days of receipt of the returned product and in exchange for the return of the product by the customer to the following address SilentWorker 18 rue schnapper Bat E2 78100 ST GERMAIN EN LAYE.

Once the customer has validated the contents of the shopping cart and logged in/registered, an online form will be displayed, automatically filled in, summarizing the price, applicable taxes and, if applicable, delivery charges.
