6.5 European regulations have implemented measures aimed at strengthening the security of electronic payments, in particular on the Internet, and more secure access to online banking services. Thus, as of 14 September 2019, the use of just a code received by SMS to authenticate these operations is no longer sufficient and has been gradually reinforced by means of a device compliant with the new regulations. These new devices could, for example, be based on a smartphone app or a SIM card (compatible with all mobile phones), which requires the entry of a secret code or the verification of biometric data. These solutions are chosen by banking institutions and payment service providers, and offered to their customers.

For more information, please contact your banking institution or your normal payment service provider.

6.6 If you select payment by PayPal, you will be re-directed to the PayPal website to complete your payment using your PayPal account. All personal information that we send to PayPal is encrypted. For more information on the security of PayPal transactions, please contact PayPal.

Once you have selected a delivery method you will be shown the total cost of your order, including the cost of gift wrap and delivery (if applicable). Please double check that all the details of your order are correct. You may ask the staff member to go back and amend your basket at any time.

5.7 To proceed with your order, you must confirm that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions of sale. The staff member will not be able to complete your order until you have accepted these terms and conditions on the Tablet.

5.8 Once you have confirmed that you are happy with your order, the staff member will confirm your order and proceed to payment.

5.9 By confirming your order you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions of sale and the information set out in the order summary. Your order constitutes an offer to buy your selected Products from Petit Bateau and will be subject to acceptance by Petit Bateau in accordance with condition 7 below.

5.10 Petit Bateau reserves the right to refuse an order if:

(a) it considers the order to be excessive or not for personal use as described in condition 2 above;

(b) there is any ongoing dispute with the Customer;

(c) there has been total or partial non-payment of a previous order placed by the Customer;

(d) the bank has declined the bank card payment submitted by the Customer; or

(e) in Petit Bateau’s opinion there is any other legitimate reason (including but not limited to the non-availability of the Product(s), the order being abnormal or unusual or any lack of good faith on the part of the Customer).

6. PAYMENT

6.1 The sum due for payment by you is the total amount shown on the Tablet. The price is repeated again once payment has been made in the order summary email sent to you by Petit Bateau.

6.2 For Products ordered via a Tablet, payment must be made via the Tablet at the time of ordering. We only accept payment by credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Electron, American Express). It is not possible to reserve Products via the Tablet without payment.

6.3 Where possible, the information recorded on the magnetic strip of your credit/debit card will be used to populate the online payment form displayed on the Tablet. Otherwise, you must complete the required payment details. You must also enter your CVV (card verification value).

6.4 European regulations have implemented measures aimed at strengthening the security of electronic payments, in particular on the Internet, and more secure access to online banking services. Thus, as of 14 September 2019, the use of just a code received by SMS to authenticate these operations is no longer sufficient and has been gradually reinforced by means of a device compliant with the new regulations. These new devices could, for example, be based on a smartphone app or a SIM card (compatible with all mobile phones), which requires the entry of a secret code or the verification of biometric data. These solutions are chosen by banking institutions and payment service providers, and offered to their customers.

For more information, please contact your banking institution or your normal payment service

6.5 All card payments are subject to authorisation by your card issuer and your card will not be debited until the order has been prepared for dispatch. In any case, the amount charged by Petit Bateau will correspond to the Product(s) actually dispatched to you by Petit Bateau.

7. ORDER CONFIRMATION

7.1 When you submit an order, we will send you an e-mail to acknowledge that we have received your order and that your order is being processed.

7.2 Once the Product(s) you have ordered are ready for dispatch we will take payment and send you a further email summarising your order details and confirming that you’re Product(s) have been dispatched ("Order Confirmation").

7.3 We generally aim to process orders within 48 hours but we cannot be held responsible for delays due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control. In these cases we will process your order as soon as is reasonably possible.

7.5 A contract of sale between you and Petit Bateau ("Contract") is formed when we send you the Order Confirmation.
