Deliveries

Deliveries shall be made to the address given on the order form. 

Parcels are shipped from Monday to Friday. Parcels shipped to Metropolitan France are delivered in under 24-48 hours, subject to availability of stock and in compliance with the carrier's commitments. 

The delivery date agreed for international shipments is not binding. In the event of late delivery, the buyer must indicate it in writing to the Seller and give them a reasonable amount of time to make the delivery. International deliveries shall be delivered in accordance with the Incoterms applicable on the date the agreement is concluded. 

Late deliveries shall not result in damages, deductions or the cancellation of outstanding orders. However, if the product has not been delivered 60 days after the delivery date given, for any reason other than due to force majeure, the sale may be cancelled at the request of either party; the buyer shall be repaid any sums paid excluding any other compensation or damages. 

The risks are borne by the buyer once the products have left ICS' premises (or our supplier's premises for some international shipments). In the event of damage during shipping, a complaint must be made to the carrier within three days of the delivery date. 

Force majeure

Force majeure events are those deemed to be unpredictable, unstoppable and external which make it impossible to implement the sales contract under the conditions set out. 
All force majeure events, as defined by the regulations and jurisprudence, constitute a reason for suspending or terminating the Store's obligations. 

Warranty

The products are guaranteed against any material or manufacturing defect for one year from the shipping date. Defects and deterioration caused by natural wear and tear or by an external accident (incorrect assembly, defective maintenance, abnormal use, etc.) or by any unforeseen or unspecified modification of the product by the seller, are not covered by the warranty. 

All claims, requests for an exchange or reimbursement must be sent by post to the following address: ICS, 12 rue du Soleil, ZA de Croix Fort, 17220 La Jarrie (France).
