3.3 Ordering

Once the elements of the estimate have been reviewed, the Client may validate the estimate in writing, either by signing it and marking it "Good Agreement" or by any other written agreement (return email, etc.), and return it to RIVIERA FINE ART. This estimate will then be considered a firm and definitive Order only upon receipt by RIVIERA FINE ART of a prepayment of 100% of the amount of the estimate, including taxes. It is specified that, prior to the final registration of the Order, the Client's account with RIVIERA FINE ART must be cleared. Should this not be the case, RIVIERA FINE ART reserves the right not to validate the Order.

The Customer may also place an order via the RIVIERA FINE ART online boutique accessible via the url https://rivierafineart.mc. In order to be validated, the customer must verify all the elements for each item in his/her shopping cart and must pay the total amount of the order by credit card. As specified during the ordering process, the client must also provide RIVIERA FINE ART with a valid ID for any art or jewelry order over 60€ as part of the anti-refund campaign according to article R321-3 of the French Penal Code. If this document is not provided within 14 days, the delivery will not take place and the order will be cancelled.

Billing and payment

The remote payment by credit card is fully secured by SSL protocol and ensured by an organization specialized in secure online transactions. The transmission of banking data is done by secure link and directly on the website of the said organization. In any case, the unavailability of the electronic payment service can in no way exonerate the Customer from his obligation to pay the price of the chosen Services.

4.3 For a corrective order 48 hours before the delivery of the order, any delay in payment will entail, after sending a letter of formal notice, the invoicing of late payment interest excluding all taxes, equivalent to the application of a rate equal to the rate of the European Central Bank increased by 10 points. These penalties will be applied from the due date of the principal to the date of effective and total payment. A fixed indemnity of 40€ to compensate for collection costs will be due by right by all professionals in case of late payment (art. L441-5 of the commercial code).

This complaint must include all elements likely to justify the request. The said complaint does not exonerate the Customer from his obligation to pay the full amount of the disputed invoice in accordance with the above conditions. Furthermore, if the collection costs incurred by RIVIERA FINE ART are higher than the above fixed compensation, particularly in the case of recourse to a firm in charge of reminders and formal notices, additional compensation may be required by RIVIERA FINE ART upon justification.
