Process of the order and formation of the Contract
Description of the Products - Price - constitutive elements of the Offer
Description of the Products
Each Product is subject to a description on the Website. Only the
applicable Sales Conditions, the descriptions, characteristics, features
presentations and price that We publish and that We directly present on
the Website, shall be regarded as constituting the description of the
Product approved by Withings.
You are fully responsible to verify the compatibility of the Product(s)
and Service(s) as they are described in the above mentioned published
materials with your own needs and to the purposes You intend to use the
Product for.
You agree that photography and videos illustrating the Products cannot,
in any case, constitute a contractual document or means of information
and that they are only provided for illustration purposes. Such
photography and videos must not be considered as a determinant element
of Buyer’s consent to place an order.
Price
Prices listed do not include any applicable Delivery and shipping
expenses. Shipping expenses will be mentioned as such before
finalization of the order. They will be clearly expressed as an addition
to the cost of the Products ordered unless otherwise indicated, for
example by means of a reduction voucher, a gift card, or a special
offer.
Depending on where You connect yourself to the Website, it is possible
that the price indicated on the Website does not include any taxes. We
draw your attention to the fact that the sales price never includes
possibly applicable customs duties and related taxes on import. Also,
the legislation applicable to You can impose certain taxation that We do
not collect. It is Your responsibility to pay such taxes and/or customs
duties at Your own expense as well as to fully comply with the
applicable regulations.
The price listed on our Website may be in a currency that does not
correspond to the currency within Your State. Withings will not, in any
case, bear the cost of the exchange of currency. The Buyer must pay
additional costs resulting from such change of currency. It is advisable
to obtain information of the charges and exchange rates applicable when
placing an order, especially as regards to the means of payment that You
wish to use and that We propose to You.
The total price that You have to pay to Withings includes the cost price of
the Product, the related Delivery expenses and, when expressly
mentioned, the aforementioned taxes. Those elements are indicated on the
summary page of the order.
The prices can be modified at any time without prior notice. Only the
prices that are presented at the moment You place an order are
applicable.
Constitutive elements of the order
The above mentioned elements determine the offer by which We are bound
to when accepted by You. The sales offers that We present to You via
internet are valid, within the limits of our available stock, as long as
they are accessible by You on the Website and on the Application
published by Withings or, if so mentioned on the Website or the
Application, until the expiration of their validity.
Withings cannot, in any case, be liable for any other offers than the ones
directly expressed on the Website or through Applications published by
Withings.
We inform You that prior to your Buyer Identification (entering your
order information), You can obtain the details of your shopping cart by
clicking on the icon "shopping cart". You can then redeem coupon codes
and gift cards at Your disposal by entering the code on the same page
and confirming your entry. The price indicated will then include these
reductions.
Buyer Identification - Determining the Delivery address and Invoice
To place an offer, the Buyer shall place an order without creating an
account. It is imperative that the Buyer communicates all requested
information accurately, including but not limited to his/her name,
complete address, and phone number. Such information are needed by Withings
in order to carry out the order and the Delivery.
If You have designated another person to receive the Products or
Services under the order, make sure that this person gives the required
agreement prior to the order and authorize You to communicate us
personal information especially personal data. Withings cannot be held
responsible of information provided without the consent of the final
recipient. By providing erroneous information, the Buyer waives all
his/her rights to claim any related breaches of contracts in case Withings
fails to perform its obligations consequently to Buyer’s failure to
provide correct information about the intended recipient of the Products
or Services.
To facilitate access through the electronic system, We remind You that
your identification can be automated through the use of cookies. The
identification will be automatic unless You clear your history in your
web browser. It is therefore recommended you clear your history in your
web browser when leaving your web browser. Withings cannot be responsible
for any personal data communicated to one or several parties through an
authorization given implicitly or explicitly by You to one or several
parties by leaving your browser without clearing your history.
Order – Prior verification of the offer
When We have the necessary information to (1) establish the invoice for
your order (2) identify You as the person that has placed the order and
(3) enable us to carry out the Delivery, We will propose You different
Delivery modalities. You are requested to choose one of them. The order
will be invoiced according to the indicated cost.
The Delivery means will be set similarly for all the Products included
in the same order, i.e. bought simultaneously on our Website, or the
Application. The indicated cost will be valid for the set of Products.
If You want Products to be shipped following different modalities You
are required to issue multiple orders.
Unless otherwise stated, the reduction vouchers and gift cards are not
applicable to the cost applicable to Delivery.
In order to have full knowledge of the cost of your order, Delivery cost
and Delivery means that You have chosen will be added into your shopping
cart. The total indicating the cost that You will effectively pay based
on your order will be displayed. We remind You that the cost does not
include customs duties or related import taxes and will not include
additional taxes that You might be required to pay according to the
legislation that is applicable to you.
By clicking on the button “Continue” You will be asked to choose the
means of payment. Following this choice, You will be asked to fulfill
the form that will allow us to identify and proceed to the Payment with
the means of payment that You have so chosen.
Payment – Means of payment security – Fraud Prevention Measures
We put at your disposal different means of payment allowing You to pay
your order:
- Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express)
- PayPal
- Apple Pay
The transactions are carried out through
the transaction encashment platforms allowing the payment to be carried
out through payment means. The payment transaction is carried out by
third party companies - By paying through these services, You could be
asked to have a personal account. Therefore, We never have access to
your bank data. Also, to prevent fraudulent transactions We have set
up procedures for verifying your orders. If a fraud is suspected, these
procedures will allow us to block, and if needed, to cancel your order.
If your order needs to be cancelled, You will be informed by email at
the address that You have indicated without delay. If You want to
contest our decision to cancel your order, please contact our customer support department.
Finalization of the order – Conclusion of the Contract
In order to realize your order, We provide You with a summary of the
relative information of your order allowing You to verify the details
You have entered. Before clicking the button allowing You to place the
order and to express your acceptance, You will be given the possibility
to modify the address of the invoice, the address of delivery, the
desired shipping method, and the Products and Services in your basket.
To complete your order You must click on “place my order”. You are fully
aware that the fact of placing an order implies an obligation to pay.
Payment is direct. The lack of payment prevents formation of the order.
As soon as Your order is completed, You will immediately receive an
identification number of your order summary at the email address that
You have indicated during the order process. Your order confirmation
will entail your commitment to proceed to the conclusion of the Contract
between Withings and You and constitutes:
-
Your Acceptance of an offer presented by Withings via our Website, our
Applications (on particular mobile devices) or via any other
organized sale system published by Withings, without the simultaneous
presence of the Parties and by the exclusive recourse of one or
several mediums; and
-
Your Acceptance of these Sales Conditions; and
-
Unless otherwise expressly allowed by Withings, the acceptance of the
payment of the purchase price of the Products and Services ordered
in its entirety once the Contract is concluded.
Withings may agree to conclude the Contract based on the information
provided by You – or Withings may refuse to conclude the Contract based on
the results of the data processing carried out in order to verify the
compliance of your order with these Sales Conditions such as, but not
limited to verification of delivery location or Fraud prevention
measures. An email with the acknowledgement of the order, its approval
by Withings, your acceptance, and the payment processing will be sent to
You by Withings at the email address that You have indicated during the
order process (“Order Confirmation Email”).
Filing
Communication filing, purchase orders, and invoices are stored on Withings
servers enabling both parties to make a copy of all the elements for the
conclusion of the Contract.
Specific measures to offers with subscription
Certain Products and Services can be offered by Withings through a
subscription. Such a subscription commits You for a determined period of
time (the "Initial Contract Period"). The period of time of the
subscription is indicated in the order. If this subscription concerns a
Service, You grant us your prior express consent to perform the Service
as soon as possible. You acknowledge that You will lose your right of
withdrawal once the Contract has been fully performed by us. By your
subscription, You place a unique order that implies an obligation to pay
the amount of money for the period of your subscription.
Unless You terminate Your subscription according to the below terms,
Your subscription will be automatically renewed for an equal time period
after expiration of the Initial Contract Period. The renewal will be
charged to the applicable price of the date of the renewed subscription.
You will be informed of the automatic renewal by an email at the email
address that You have indicated to Us. The email will be forwarded at
the earliest three (3) months and at the latest one (1) month before the
expiration of the Initial Contract Period.
After the Initial Contract Period You can terminate the Contract at your
will, without prior notice. However, if the subscription concerns a
service on a specific period, the subscription month that has started
prior to the date of termination should be paid in full.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, You must inform us of your decision
to withdraw from the Contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter
sent by post or e-mail) or by contacting our Support. To help us to
improve our Products, We may ask You to explain us your decision.
Consequences
If You exercise your right of withdrawal, You shall send back the
Products and their accessories without undue delay. The return of the
Products is at your own expense. You shall bear all the costs of
returning the Products. The burden of proof in respect of the exercise
of the withdrawal right and return of the Product lies on you. You shall
return the Product and its accessories at the postal address
communicated to You by our customer support department.
As soon as We receive the Product and after checking its proper working
order We shall reimburse You the price of the Product without any delay.

charges. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of
payment as You used for the initial transaction, unless You have

a result of such reimbursement.
However, in case We conclude, when checking the proper working order of
the Product, that Your right of withdrawal does not apply due to any of
the above exclusion provisions, We may nevertheless be able to provide
You with the following choice:
-
We send You back the Product at You own expense and risk after
payment of all returning expense.
