ARTICLE 1 – Purpose and Definitions
The “Inflyter” mobile application (the “Application”) is provided and operated by Inflyter SAS, a company registered in France under SIREN number 811 169 812 RCS Nanterre, whose registered office is located at 191-195 Avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine, France (“Inflyter”).
It enables individual, consumer, non-professional travellers (the “Customers”) to order online and purchase duty-free products (the “Products”) offered by certain professional sellers (the “Sellers”) in so-called “Duty Free” areas, in airports, railway and maritime stations, aircraft, boats and other, in France and abroad (the “Sales Points”).
These General Terms and Conditions of Use (the “GTCU”) define the conditions under which Inflyter makes the Application available to Customers and authorises its use for the purposes described above.
They also define the respective rights and obligations of Inflyter, Customers and Sellers in connection with the Application availability and use.
ARTICLE 2 – Scope of application
These GTCU apply, without restriction or reservation, to the use of the Application by any Customer for placing orders and purchasing Products from a Seller.
They supplement the Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale, which govern sales made between the Seller and the Customer through the Application, and which must be consulted and accepted by the Customer at the time each order is placed.
The Customer acknowledges that the Application is a sales space for Products made available to the Customer and the Seller by Inflyter.
Only the Seller, whose name is indicated on the description of each Product, is the co-contractor of the Customer for the order and purchase of the Products concerned. Inflyter is therefore neither the buyer nor the seller of these Products.
The present GTCU are accessible at any time on the website https://www.inflyter.com/ and on the Application.
They may be subject to subsequent modifications, the applicable version being the one in force at the date the order is placed by the Customer.
ARTICLE 3 – Access and use
Access to and use of the Application are strictly reserved to the adult Customer acting in a private capacity, which they declare and acknowledge, undertaking, moreover, to carry out in good faith all order and purchase operations concluded with the Seller through the Application.
Any Customer meeting the foregoing conditions and holding a valid passport and travel document may select, order and purchase the Products of their choice from the Seller’s catalogue.
The Customer acknowledges having the required capacity to use the Application and to order and acquire the Products offered by the Seller.
Use of the Application is free of charge for the Customer (excluding any internet connection costs charged by the provider or operator) and without any obligation to purchase.
Only the order and purchase of Products from the Seller are subject to payment, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these GTCU and the Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale.
To use the Application, the Customer must accept these GTCU and register as a user by creating an account.
A valid passport and travel document are required to complete such registration.
Registration and creation of a user account enable the Customer to be put in contact with the Seller, to order Products, to pay the price, to confirm receipt and to communicate with the Seller if necessary.
A personal login and password are chosen by the Customer to access their account.
The Customer undertakes to keep these strictly confidential and shall refrain from disclosing them to any person whatsoever.
The Customer is solely responsible for the use of their login, password and account, unless there is evidence of fraudulent use that cannot be attributed to them.
Any fraudulent use of elements and accounts of which the Customer is aware must be notified immediately in writing to Inflyter.
In the event of non-compliance with these GTCU by the Customer, Inflyter reserves the right to interrupt temporarily or permanently their access, without notice or compensation.
Inflyter will use its best efforts to provide the Customer uninterrupted access to the Application, except in the following cases in particular:
- Corrective maintenance or upgrades, planned or not;
- Weakness or absence of internet access coverage by the Customer’s access provider or operator;
- Force majeure;
- Any technical problem of any nature whatsoever.
ARTICLE 4 – Products offered
The Products offered for purchase on the Application are the subject of a description enabling the Customer to know their main characteristics, in particular, the specifications, illustrations and indications of the dimensions or capacity of the Products, as well as their price.
The range of Products offered depends on the travel destination and is understood to be subject to available stocks.
The catalogue, description, price and availability of the Products presented on the Application are provided to Inflyter by the Seller. The Customer is required to read them before placing an order.
Illustrations, photographs and other visual representations are not contractual and Inflyter cannot be held responsible for them.
The choice and ordering of Products is the sole responsibility of the Customer.
The contractual information concerning each order is subject to confirmation at the time of their validation by the Customer at the latest.
ARTICLE 5 – Orders
5.1 Order placement
It is up to the Customer to select on the Application the Products that they wish to order.
The Customer has the opportunity to check the details of his order, its total price and to correct any errors before accepting and registering it.
The registration of an order on the Application is carried out when the Customer accepts these GTCU as well as the Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale, by ticking the box(es) provided for this purpose, enters their travel information and confirms the content of their order.
Once the order has been registered, the Customer proceeds to prepay the price in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 below. The order will only be accepted by the Seller upon receipt of said prepayment.
The accepted order is confirmed after a QR Code required for the pick-up of the Products has been sent to the Customer to a dedicated area of the Application.
In the absence of proof to the contrary, the data recorded in the Application’s computer system constitutes proof of all transactions concluded between the Seller and the Customer.
The Customer is solely responsible for compliance with the legal restrictions and customs legislation of the territory of origin and the territory of destination, applicable to the type and quantity of Products ordered.
The Seller may reserve the right not to honour an order and/or to suspend its execution, even after sending the confirmation QR Code, for any legitimate reason, in particular in the event that:
- The order does not comply with the Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale;
- The type of Product ordered is subject to a restriction relating to the Customer’s age (for example, for the purchase of tobacco and alcohol);
- The quantities of Products ordered do not correspond to the normal use of a consumer Customer; or
- Several serious and concordant elements would give rise to a suspicion of fraud on the order.
Furthermore, the Seller may reserve the right to refuse an order concerning a Customer who has not paid in full or in part for a previous order or with whom there is an ongoing payment dispute.
If the order relates to several Products, only the Products for which the order cannot be honoured, executed or accepted are concerned.
5.2 Order cancellation
The order may be cancelled by the Customer (excluding the exercise of the right of retraction or in the event of force majeure) up to at least two hours before the Customer’s boarding time as indicated on their travel ticket.
The order may also be cancelled in the event of cancellation of the trip or a change in the airport, port or terminal of departure or arrival, which is beyond the Customer’s control and which could have the effect of preventing the Customer from picking-up the Products ordered.
In the above cases, the prepayment of the order is waived and the Products are put back in stock by the Seller.
In the event of cancellation on the part of the Customer less than two hours before boarding time, or in the event of failure to collect the Products that is not justified by the cancellation of the journey or the modification of the airport, port or terminal of departure or arrival, independently of the Customer’s will, the Seller reserves the right to charge and deduct cancellation fees specified in its own general terms and conditions of sale.
ARTICLE 6 – Prices
The prices appearing on the description sheet of the Products are freely set by the Seller.
The price depends on the Customer’s travel destination. Thus, the price of the same Product may vary depending on whether the Customer has an international travel document giving them access to the pricing specific to the “Duty Free” zone or not.
Prices are indicated in local currency or in any other currency specified by the Seller and are inclusive of tax.
ARTICLE 7 – Payment
The price is prepaid in cash and in full through the Application, in the name and on behalf of the Seller, via a secure payment method:
- Credit card;
- PayPal; or
- Apple Pay;
according to the option available at the time the order is placed.
The sale is effective and the price is effectively collected by the Application on behalf of the Seller, upon pick-up of the Products ordered by the Customer.
An invoice is issued by the Seller and delivered or sent electronically to the Customer upon pick-up of the Products. This invoice is the sole proof of said pick-up.
ARTICLE 8 – Pick-up of Products
The Products ordered may be collected by the Customer according to the method proposed and selected by the Customer at the time of placing the order:
- Either at the counter of the Point of Sale;
- Either in a “Locker” located at the Point of Sale or elsewhere;
- Or at the boarding gate of the airport, port or terminal of departure or arrival.
The Products are delivered to the Customer only on presentation of the QR Code provided with the confirmation of their order, their valid passport and the corresponding travel document.
If the Products ordered are not delivered to the Customer for any reason other than force majeure or the Customer’s fault, the order may be cancelled and the sale resolved at the Customer’s request in accordance with the Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale. Any prepayment made by the Customer on the Application shall then be cancelled.
