GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Date of last update: October 2, 2024
These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") govern the sales of accessories and video games on physical media (hereinafter referred to as the "Products") by Games.fr, a Simplified Joint Stock Company with a capital of 1,000,000 Euros, whose registered office is located at 396-466 RUE DE LA VOYETTE CRT2 59273 FRETIN, registered with the RCS of Lille Métropole under number B 339 702 870 (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") on the website accessible at URL www.nacongaming.com (hereinafter the "Site"). It is specified that the Site is published by NACON company as identified in the legal notices of the Site.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
These GTC are subject to change at any time by GAMES.FR. The new GTC will, if applicable, apply only to Orders placed after said modification.
The applicable GTC are those appearing on the Site in French at the time of your order and brought to your attention prior to the completion of any order. If they were translated into another language and in case of discrepancy between the two versions, the French version of the GTC would prevail over the translated version.
By accepting these GTC, you acknowledge having received, prior to your order, in a clear and comprehensible manner, these GTC and all the information listed by the French Consumer Code.
Any order placed on the Site implies full and complete acceptance, without reservation and without condition of the GTC in force at the time of said order. You therefore renounce, in particular, to invoke any contradictory document, which would be unenforceable against the Company.
Designation of the seller
The Products are sold by GAMES.FR, a simplified joint stock company with a capital of 1,000,000€ registered with the RCS of LILLE METROPOLE under number 339 702 870 – (Siret 33970287000041) – Registered office CRT 2 396-466 RUE DE LA VOYETTE 59273 FRETIN Telephone: +33 (0)3.20.90.72.30.

Conditions of application
These GTC apply to any order placed remotely by a natural person having legal capacity and acting in a personal capacity as a consumer within the meaning of the preliminary article of the French Consumer Code directly on the Site.
Exclusions of application
The GTC are not applicable to professionals within the meaning of the preliminary article of the French Consumer Code, namely any natural or legal person, public or private, who acts for purposes falling within the scope of their commercial, industrial, artisanal, liberal or agricultural activity, including when acting on behalf of or for another professional. To open a professional account, please contact the professional sales department at +33 (0)3 20 90 72 00.
Unique producer identification number of the Products
In application of Article L. 541-10-9 of the Environmental Code, distance selling sites that act as sales intermediaries are required to assume the extended producer responsibility (EPR) for products that transit through their platforms.
However, the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion recalled, in a communication dated April 3, 2024 entitled "General framework for extended producer responsibility sectors" that this obligation does not apply in cases where the seller would be able to demonstrate that the product producer already assumes this obligation.
The Company thus specifies that the producer of the Products sold on the Site, NACON company, a simplified joint stock company with its registered office at CRT 2 396-466 RUE DE LA VOYETTE 59273 FRETIN, registered with the RCS of Lille Métropole under number 852 538 461, has unique identification numbers for the following EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) sectors to which it is subject:
- D.E.E.E sector (Ecosystem): FR028344_05MDPG
- Batteries and accumulators sector (Screlec): FR028344_06QE6B
- Packaging sector (Citéo): FR028344_01PRLK
PRODUCTS
The Products offered for sale are those that appear on the Site on the day of your order and within the limit of available stocks.
VIDEO GAMES WITHOUT PHYSICAL MEDIA
Video games without physical media presented on the Site are not sold by GAMES.FR and are therefore not subject to these GTC.
These video games without physical media are sold on third-party merchant platforms - through the implementation of a URL redirection mechanism - owned and managed by third-party companies; their purchase is therefore subject only to the general terms and conditions of sale of the latter.
ORDERS ON THE SITE
Any order for one or more Products on the Site requires that you have a valid bank card (Visa, Mastercard...), a Paypal account or an American Express card.
Only orders for which your payments have been previously validated will be taken into account.

- When placing your order, you choose the Product(s) you wish to order. A summary of your order is presented online. You can modify it or accept it to confirm your order,

This step allows you to view a summary of your order including, in particular, the indication of the chosen payment method and the total amount of your order (including delivery costs) minus any reductions and reminding you of the conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal, and inviting you to verify these elements by allowing you to correct them if necessary.
- You are then invited to click on a link entitled "Pay for your order". You will then be asked to check the box accepting these GTC.
- You will then be redirected to the secure page of our payment provider, where you will be invited to communicate the data necessary for the execution of your payment obligation and to click on the link "Validate payment".
- You will then receive, at your email address, a confirmation of your order as well as these GTC on a durable and printable medium.
The electronic data contained in the order form completed and validated by you have probative value. GAMES.FR reserves the right, prior to the delivery of the Product(s), to carry out verifications relating to this information. In the absence of order validation, you are informed either of the cancellation of your order, or of a request for the provision of additional supporting documents. In the latter case, upon receipt of these documents and their validation, your order will resume its preparation.
THE PRICE OF PRODUCTS
The price of the Products (excluding delivery costs) is that indicated on the corresponding product sheet, accessible on the Site. GAMES.FR reserves the right to modify the price of its Products at any time, in compliance with applicable legislation.

The price of the Product(s) is payable at the time of order and indicated in euros, including all taxes and excluding delivery costs.

The amount of delivery costs is indicated to you as you progress through the order and is invoiced at the end of the order in addition to the price of the selected Product(s).
GAMES.FR does not reserve stock, so adding one or more Product(s) to the cart does not guarantee the availability of said Product(s) or its(their) price.

Delivery conditions
Orders are exclusively delivered to metropolitan France and to the countries mentioned on the Site according to the delivery method chosen at the time of order, by postal service to your home.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
Deadline and modalities of the right of withdrawal
Subject to the exceptions applicable to the sale of video games recalled below, you have, in accordance with Article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code, a right of withdrawal that can be exercised within a period of 14 (fourteen) clear days from:
- the receipt of the Product by you or a third party, other than the carrier, that you would have designated, or
- in case of an order of several Products delivered separately or in the case of an order of a good composed of multiple lots or pieces whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, from the receipt of the last good or lot or the last piece.
When the fourteen-day (14) period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday or non-working day, it is extended until the next working day.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw by sending us, by mail to the address NACON C/O GAMES.FR, 396 rue de la Voyette, CRT2 FRETIN, CS 90414- 59814 LESQUIN CEDEX, FRANCE or by email to the address TO BE COMPLETED before the expiration of the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period, the withdrawal form available at the end of this document, or, at your choice, any other unambiguous declaration expressing your will to withdraw.

In the case where you have exercised your right of withdrawal, you must return, to the address indicated in the form attached to these GTC, without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) days following the date on which you communicated your decision to withdraw, the new Product(s), in perfect condition, sealed in their original packaging and accompanied by a copy of their invoice, for which you have exercised your right of withdrawal.

In case of exercise of the right of withdrawal, we will proceed to the reimbursement of the sums paid, price and delivery costs within fourteen (14) days following the receipt of your return.
The refund will be made via the same payment method as the one used during the order.
It is specified that a Product having benefited from a promotional advantage will be refunded at the price that you will have actually paid or that should have been paid if it no longer meets the conditions to benefit from it. In other words, the refund will be for the price of your order invoiced and collected by GAMES.FR.

YOUR GUARANTEES
All Products benefit from legal guarantees and possibly a commercial or manufacturer's warranty.
You can find the user manual for your Product in the support section on the Site https://my.nacongaming.com/en-GB/support and if needed, contact our technical service. The latter does not deal with problems related to your order but only with technical defects of your electronic Product.
Legal guarantees
When the Product(s) present(s) either a lack of conformity or a hidden defect, you have the choice between the legal guarantee of conformity, provided for in articles L. 217-1 and following of the Consumer Code, and the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold, provided for in article 1641 of the French Civil Code.
Any guarantee is excluded in case of normal wear of your Product or poor maintenance, poor conservation or misuse.
Legal guarantee of conformity
In accordance with the legal provisions in force, we inform you that you benefit from a legal guarantee of conformity under the conditions provided for in articles L. 217-1 and following of the French Consumer Code.
In case of lack of conformity, the concerned Product(s) must be returned in the state in which you received it/them. The return must be made by postal mail or by drop-off at a relay point.
As soon as you receive your order, it is your responsibility to keep our Products in accordance with the indications on the packaging. We cannot be held responsible for a defect that appeared due to poor conservation of the Products by you after delivery.
You have a period of two (2) years from delivery to act.
The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the good to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in case of appearance of a defect of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance. When the contract for the sale of the good provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service continuously for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee is applicable to this digital content or digital service throughout the entire period of supply provided. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or digital service and not the date of its appearance. The legal guarantee of conformity entails the obligation for the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good. The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to the repair or replacement of the good within thirty days following their request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to them. If the good is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee. If the consumer requests the repair of the good, but the seller imposes replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good. The consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the good or terminate the contract with full reimbursement against return of the good, if: 1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the good; 2° The repair or replacement of the good occurs after a period of thirty days; 3° The repair or replacement of the good causes major inconvenience to the consumer, particularly when the consumer definitively bears the costs of taking back or removing the non-conforming good, or if they bear the costs of installation of the repaired or replacement good; 4° The non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller's attempt to bring it into conformity which has been unsuccessful. The consumer also has the right to a reduction in the price of the good or to the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the good beforehand. The consumer does not have the right to terminate the sale if the lack of conformity is minor. Any period of immobilization of the good for repair or replacement suspends the guarantee that remained to run until the delivery of the repaired good. The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the consumer code. The seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of 300,000 euros, which can be increased up to 10% of the average annual turnover (article L. 241-5 of the consumer code). |
Specific provisions applicable to the sale of video games on physical media on the Site pursuant to Articles L. 224-25-12 paragraph 2 and D. 211-3 of the French Consumer Code as well as Annex II to Article D. 211-3 of the Consumer Code
The consumer has a period of two years from the supply of the digital content or digital service to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in case of appearance of a lack of conformity. For a period of one year from the date of supply, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance. The legal guarantee of conformity entails the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or digital service. The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to have the digital content or digital service brought into conformity without undue delay following their request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to them. The consumer can obtain a price reduction while keeping the digital content or digital service, or they can terminate the contract and be fully refunded in exchange for renouncing the digital content or digital service, if: 1° The professional refuses to bring the digital content or digital service into conformity; 2° The bringing into conformity of the digital content or digital service is unjustifiably delayed; 3° The bringing into conformity of the digital content or digital service cannot be done without costs imposed on the consumer; 4° The bringing into conformity of the digital content or digital service causes major inconvenience for the consumer; 5° The non-conformity of the digital content or digital service persists despite the professional's attempt to bring it into conformity that has remained unsuccessful. The consumer also has the right to a price reduction or termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the bringing into conformity of the digital content or digital service beforehand. In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is only entitled to cancel the contract if the contract does not provide for the payment of a price. Any period of unavailability of the digital content or digital service for the purpose of bringing it into conformity suspends the guarantee that remained to run until the supply of the digital content or digital service that is again compliant. The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the Consumer Code. The professional who in bad faith obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of 300,000 euros, which can be increased up to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the Consumer Code). |
