Snowleader services

2-1 Territorial Scope of Services

The products offered to sale online on the Website are dispatched from France within most countries, United Kingdom included. The territorial scope of each sale may vary according distribution agreements entered into between Snowleader and each list supplier, as well as according delivery options. 

2-2 Stock and availability

The products offered to sale online on the Website are made available under average availability and delivery time periods, which are indicated beforehand for information purposes only. This information will be updated on a regular basis. Any product bearing the mention “in stock” means Snowleader has this product in its own stock. The actual availability of a product may change at any time depending on the sales on the Website or on the supplier's stock of products (some products are supplied on a just-in-time delivery basis). Any product bearing the mention “available within x days” means that Snowleader is usually expecting its supplier to provide the product to Snowleader within that number of business days, notwithstanding the supplier's actual availability. From times to times, some mistakes or changes may occasionally occur. Any product bearing the mention “available on XX/XX/XXXX” means that Snowleader expects to receive the product at its warehouses at this date. This date is not the date of delivery of the product to the Buyer at its shipping address. Snowleader waives and declines all liabilities should the average availability or delivery time periods of any or all products is modified later on. Should the product be unavailable at the date and time of its purchase, Snowleader undertakes to contact the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible, by phone or email. The Buyer may choose to carry on with his/her purchase without the missing product (when an order includes several products) or to cancel it. Snowleader will reimburse the Buyer on the bank account used for the purchased, within a maximum fourteen-day (14-day) time period from the Buyer's purchase.

For pre order products, the Buyer accept that the package may be sent more than 30 days after completing the order (see stock availability in product descriptions) .

2-3 Products specifications

The products offered to sale online are described and presented in the most accurate way reasonably possible. However, Snowleader declines any and all responsibility should such presentation includes some mistakes or omissions. All photographs and supporting documentation are merely informative and non-binding.

2-4 Price

The prices of our products are indicated in British pounds, all British taxes included, and are firm and fixed on the www.snowleader.co.uk's website. Said prices do not include shipping and other delivery and processing costs, which will be additionally invoiced and indicated before the Buyer confirm his/her purchase. Snowleader reserves its right to change its prices at any time without further notice. The products will be invoiced to the Buyer as they stand registered at the date and time of the confirmation of the order. We are regularly carrying out maintenance operations on our Website, which may lead to display errors of the prices. Should it be the case, the order shall not be executed and we will contact the Buyer to cancel the purchase as soon as reasonably possible. The products remain Snowleader's property until full payment.

2-5 Logistics fee

Snowleader reserves the right to apply a logistics fee to all orders, the amount of which may vary and which is not refundable in the event of a partial or full return of the order.

 

Purchasing process and orders

3-1 Requirements prior to any purchase

The Buyer must be legally entitled to carry on the purchase, or enjoy parental leave to do so on the Website.The Buyer shall provide accurate and complete information.

3-2 Purchasing process

Choice of articles and add to cart – Validation of the shopping carts content – Identification on the Website to check whether the Buyer is already identified or not – Choice of the delivery option – Choice of the payment means and consent to the T&Cs – Validation of payment. The Buyer may order its online purchase on the Website. Data provided by the Buyer and registered by Snowleader during the purchase constitute admissible evidence of the transactions made between Snowleader and the Buyer. The last validation after filling in the purchase order is deemed to be the confirmation of the purchase by the Buyer, and creates an obligation to pay the purchase. This last validation is admissible evidence of the Buyer's undertakings to enter into the purchasing process and to confirm definitively its order. This last validation entails unredeemable consent to these T&Cs: the Buyer must acknowledge and agree he/she has read, understood and agreed to the T&C. The parties are deemed to have effectively entered into a purchase agreement in English from the moment Snowleader sends a confirmation email with the registered details of the purchase. After the order has been registered, a detailed invoice, which may be printed at the Buyer's discretion, will be available on the Website in the “my account” tab. Snowleader reserves the right to refuse to deliver or to execute a purchase agreement in any case the Buyer has not partially or totally paid a prior order, or should a payment dispute subside between the parties.

3-3 Order processing

Any order made before 12 p.m. from Monday to Friday (public holidays excluded) will be prepared and sent the same day, should all purchased products be in stock and provided the payment is confirmed. Any and all order made during the weekend will be processed starting from the first following business day. Any and all delivery time periods shall only start from the moment the packages have left our warehouse's premises. Our logistics department will only be open during week business days.

Payment

The products in your order will be billed all charges included. The prices displayed on our website snowleader.co.uk include the 20% VAT, as well as customs fees. You will not have to pay anything else when receiving your order!

Snowleader accepts different means of payment. Purchases may be paid in British pounds on the snowleader.co.uk. The full price must be paid immediately after the purchase by the Buyer, who undertakes to pay the indicated price for the purchased article(s), including the price of the articles, the shipping costs and all other order-processing costs. As a measure to prevent internet fraud, Snowleader reserves its right to request a copy of your ID card and a proof of residency for any payment.

4 -1 Payment by card

Only the following cards are accepted as means of payment: CB, Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard, American Express. The card is debited upon validation of the purchase. The Buyer represents and warrants the Buyer that it has all requested authorizations to use card as the means of payment when ordering. Snowleader uses its best reasonable endeavours to ensure the security and the confidentiality of the data processed on the Website (including during the online payment). To this end, the Website uses SSL-encrypted (Secure Socket Layer) distance payment services where your date is never transferred in the network in plain text. Moreover, the transaction is made through the e-transaction banking platform of the CIC, which alone has access to the confidential data (card number, validity date) provided by the Buyer upon payment. In order to optimize card transactions as much as possible, the Website uses the 3DS system, which is software created by Visa and Mastercard. Upon providing it your bank information, this software will open a pop up tab where you will be requested to type down your 3D secure code. This code will allow you to identify yourself and to authenticate that the payment is really made by the actual cardholder. Thus, even if your banking details were stolen or obtained in any way whatsoever, they could not be used without knowing your personal authentication code.

4-2 Payment by Paypal

Paypal is a payment service provider specialized in issuing electronic money between the Buyer and a third party. Paypal warrants the confidentiality of the Buyer’s banking details. For instance, the Buyer’s banking details are never transmitted to Snowleader. Paypal encrypts and protects the card number. The Buyer pays online by giving its email and password.

4-3 Payment by bank transfer

When you opt for a bank transfer as means of payment, our bank transfer information will be displayed. The payment must absolutely be made in British pounds. We will wait to receive your payment before preparing and sending you your purchase. The ordered products are reserved from the moment we receive your payment. Should you proceed to a payment by check, money order or bank transfer, the shipping time periods will only start running from the effective moment we receive your payment. We ask you to include in your payment your order number.

Delivery

The products are delivered from France to the shipping address mentioned during the purchasing process for all destinations listed in article 3 here above. Snowleader waives all liabilities should a mistake in the wording of the shipping address make the delivery impossible. In this case, the new delivery costs will be due by and invoiced to the Buyer at their real amount. Snowleader undertakes to deliver the ordered products as fast as possible depending on the selected means of delivery and on the articles’ availability. Delivery time periods indicated on the Website are the usual averages and include the total delivery time period for processing and delivery. When you order several products at the same time, and that their delivery time periods are different, the actual delivery time period may be the longest delivery time period, as the order is processed as a whole only when all products included in it are in Snowleader’s stocks. In case of multi shipping, the date of delivery may vary depending on the availability of each product. Delivery is deemed successful upon handing it over to the Buyer. The delivery note filled in by the carrier, dated and signed by the Buyer upon delivery of the order, constitutes proof for all maters regarding transportation and delivery.

After ordering, the British consumer can contact Snowleader customer service with a post sales phone number which is free of charge (local calling costs) : 03 3336 6812

For pre order products, the Buyer accept that the package may be sent more than 30 days after completing the order (see stock availability in product descriptions) .

5 -1 Verification of the parcel's condition upon delivery

Snowleader recommends that the Buyer check, upon delivery and in front of the carrier, the content, the compliance and the condition of the parcel(s). Should the Buyer have any doubt of any kind, whether on the condition or on the content of its parcel, the Buyer must: - Check the condition of the delivered goods and issue written detailed, dated and signed observations, with additional signature of the carrier next to it; and - Exercise any claim against the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, within three (3) business days from the receipt, with copy sent to Snowleader. Once this time period has expired, the product will be deemed received by the Buyer as sound, and the Buyer will not be able to claim any delivery mistake or obvious defect. Once the Buyer or any person entitled to receive the parcel has signed the delivery note, it is presumed that the delivered parcel has been checked and shall not be subject to any claims anymore. Snowleader shall not be deemed liable in any case.

5-2 Delivery delays

Should any delivery be delayed, or should the carriers have lost parcels, the Buyer must notify Snowleader by email or by phone within the ten (10) days following he/she received the email confirmation of the purchase. We will help you to take the necessary steps with the carriers.

5-3 Delivery in your absence

Should the recipient be absent upon delivery, the carrier will contact the recipient to organise a new delivery. Should the purchase not be collected within the time periods set by the carrier, it will be returned to Snowleader, which reserves its right to request reimbursement of the delivery price, and the Buyer will incur the new delivery costs.
