Updated: 11.06.2024

These general terms and conditions of sale are concluded between the seller ‘BlablaGUIDES’ and any individual or legal entity making a purchase via the site ‘www.blablaguides.com’, hereafter referred to as ‘the Buyer’.

1.a. Sales made via the site ‘www.blablaguides.com’ are subject to the following general conditions to which the Buyer declares to adhere without restriction or reservation.

1.b. They define the sale between the Buyer and BlablaGUIDES. In particular, they specify the conditions of order, payment, delivery and management of any returns of products ordered by the Buyer.

1.c. The Buyer may consult these general conditions of sale simply, freely and at any time by clicking on the ‘Terms and Conditions’ link.

1.d. As the general conditions of sale may be subject to modification by BlablaGUIDES, the conditions applicable between the Buyer and BlablaGUIDES are those in force on the site on the date the order is placed.


Article 2: Orders

2.a. General conditions for placing an order: The Buyer declares in advance that he/she is of legal age and capable or holds authorisation from his/her legal representative allowing him/her to make a purchase on the Site.

2.b. Placing an order: Orders are placed exclusively via the Site. The Buyer selects the products, the method of payment, the delivery details and confirms the order. The various stages of order registration are validated at the end of the process. The order may be cancelled at the request of the Buyer at any stage of the process.

2.c. Confirmation e-mail : Following payment, BlablaGUIDES will send the buyer an order confirmation e-mail. BlablaGUIDES advises the Buyer to keep a copy.


Article 3: Products

3.a. Status of products: BlablaGUIDES sells glossaries in paper and digital format, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Products’.

3.b. Information on the Products: BlablaGUIDES presents the Products on the site with their essential characteristics enabling the Buyer to know the condition of the Products. The photographs and texts associated with the Products presented by BlablaGUIDES have no contractual value. BlablaGUIDES cannot be held responsible for them under any circumstances. The choice and purchase of a Product is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

3.c. Stocks: The Products available for sale are available while stocks last. If a Product becomes unavailable, BlablaGUIDES undertakes to reimburse the Buyer for the full price paid at the time of ordering as soon as possible.


Article 4: Prices

4.a. The sale prices of the Products appear on the Site and are expressed in Euros, inclusive of all taxes applicable in Europe. Delivery charges are payable by the Buyer and are invoiced in addition to the Price. The Buyer is informed of the delivery costs associated with the said order before the order is definitively registered. Payment will be requested from the Buyer for the total amount of the purchase, including the price of the Products ordered plus delivery costs.

4.b. Confirmation of the Buyer’s payment agreement confirms the Buyer’s acceptance to pay the delivery costs. Delivery costs cannot therefore constitute a valid reason for questioning the order once it has been definitively registered.


Article 5: Payment

5.a. Payment is made solely by bank card via a secure payment site. The Buyer’s account is debited for the amount of the Products, chosen services and delivery costs as presented when the order is processed.

5.b. All purchases made on the Site are only payable when the order is placed. No Products may be dispatched to the Buyer unless the Buyer has first paid the sale price and the related delivery charges in full.

5.c. BlablaGUIDES reserves the right to suspend all order processing and delivery in the event of refusal to authorise payment by bank card by officially accredited organisations or in the event of non-payment.

5.d. BlablaGUIDES reserves the right to refuse to make a delivery or to honour an order from a Buyer who has not paid in full or in part for a previous order or with whom a dispute concerning, notably but not exclusively, a payment is in progress.


Article 6: Delivery (concerning the paper version)

6.a. Products can be delivered anywhere in the world. They are delivered to the address indicated when the order was placed by the Buyer. The delivery address cannot be changed once the order has been validated. Once the order has been handed over to the carrier, BlablaGUIDES will send an e-mail to the Buyer informing him/her of the dispatch of the order.

6.b. Delivery times may be up to 30 working days on European territory from the day following receipt of the order by BlablaGUIDES and 60 days for all other places of delivery.

6.c. Delivery times are given as an indication only and failure to observe them may not give rise to penalties for delay or damages, withholding or cancellation of the order by the Buyer.

6.d. Delivery is deemed to have been made on the date of first presentation to the Buyer. The Buyer is obliged to check the conformity of the Products delivered at the time of delivery. Any anomaly concerning the delivery must be notified to the delivery service designated by BlablaGUIDES. The Purchaser must confirm this anomaly by contacting the carrier within two (2) days of the delivery date. Once this period has elapsed and if these formalities have not been complied with, the Products will be deemed to be in conformity and free from any apparent defects and no claim will be accepted by BlablaGUIDES.
The following procedure is only applicable in the following two cases:
  • If the Product received does not correspond to the Product ordered on the site. The e-mail confirming the registration of the order contains all the information relative to the Products ordered and will enable both parties to note any error on the part of BlablaGUIDES.
  • If the Product received is faulty due to an incident during delivery.

The Buyer must then contact BlablaGUIDES as soon as possible and describe the problem encountered. In order to enable BlablaGUIDES to take action against the transporter, the Buyer expressly undertakes to contact BlablaGUIDES within forty-eight (48) hours.
BlablaGUIDES will then inform the Buyer of the procedure to follow. If necessary, BlablaGUIDES may ask the Buyer to return the order at his/her expense. In the event of BlablaGUIDES or the transporter being responsible, BlablaGUIDES will then offer the buyer:
  • Either a refund of the order (any return costs will be borne by the buyer)
  • Either a credit note for an amount equal to the order (any return costs will be borne by the buyer)
  • Or to re-ship the Product ordered (shipping costs remain the responsibility of the buyer), subject to availability of the Product.

It is specified that under no circumstances may the reimbursement of the order and shipping costs exceed the amount paid by the Buyer at the time of ordering.


Article 7: Withdrawal

Concerning the paper version:

7.a. In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Buyer has a withdrawal period of seven (7) clear days following delivery, to return the Products without having to justify the return. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it will be extended until the next working day. Any cancellation made outside this period will be rejected. This return must be made by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt.

7.b. BlablaGUIDES will reimburse the Buyer for the price of the Products within a maximum period of 30 days from the date of receipt by BlablaGUIDES of the Products, provided that the Product is returned complete, in its condition at the time of sale.

7.c. The return costs and risks relating to the Products are the responsibility of the Buyer. In the event that BlablaGUIDES does not receive the Products, no reimbursement will be made.

Concerning the digital version:

7.d. The digital version of the product cannot be reimbursed due to its characteristics and shipping conditions.


Article 8: Warranty – Liability

The Products are covered by the legal warranty stipulated in article 1641 of the French Civil Code, to the exclusion of all other warranties. In order to benefit from this legal guarantee on the Products, it is advisable to keep the order confirmation e-mail. The Buyer is solely responsible for the choice of Products, their conservation and their use.
All guarantees are excluded in the case of misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Buyer, as well as in the case of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure and the BlablaGUIDES guarantee is limited to the replacement or reimbursement of Products affected by a defect.


Article 9: Licence to access the Site

9.a. The Site and its contents are the exclusive property of BlablaGUIDES. It is understood that the fact of using and purchasing Products on the Site does not in any way constitute an authorisation to use or to acquire a right of ownership over the elements that are the intellectual property of BlablaGUIDES such as the intellectual works, creations, compilations, databases, slogans, logos, software, drawings and models, brands, domain names appearing on or constituting the Site. BlablaGUIDES remains the owner of all its intellectual property rights on the elements appearing on or constituting the Site.

9.b. BlablaGUIDES grants a limited licence to access and use the Site for the personal use of the Buyer for the purposes of consulting and/or purchasing Products. Under no circumstances is the Buyer authorised to modify or download all or part of the Site without the express authorisation of BlablaGUIDES. This licence does not permit any other use, notably commercial, of the Site or its content.

9.c. The Buyer is authorized, on a non-exclusive and revocable basis, to create a hyperlink pointing to the home page of the Site on condition that this link cannot in any way prejudice BlablaGUIDES.

9.d. The creation of this link shall not engage the responsibility of BlablaGUIDES in any capacity whatsoever, the Buyer being fully responsible to third parties and BlablaGUIDES for the effects and damages caused by the creation of such link.
