- in other cases, Customers may order MORPHEA BED to comply within a reasonable time by sending their request on a durable medium and in particular by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt sent to the following address: sav@morpheabed.com

Article 12: Guarantees – Responsibilities
12.1- Guarantees
The following provisions apply to Consumers.
French law grants you, as a consumer, the following guarantees and rights. MORPHEA BED therefore offers you the protection granted by law under the guarantee of conformity provided for by Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-20 of the Consumer Code and the guarantee of hidden defects provided for by Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code. Guarantee of conformity The Consumer Code provides the following rights for consumers: Pursuant to Article L. 217-4 of the French Consumer Code, the seller is required to deliver goods that comply with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity that exists upon delivery. The seller is also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when this is provided for in the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility. In accordance with Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code, to comply with the contract, the product must: 1. be suitable for the generally expected use of this product and, if necessary, to: o Correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the latter presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; o Present the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular through advertising or labeling; 2. Either present the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller at the latest at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the latter has accepted. Pursuant to Article L. 217-8 of the French Consumer Code, the buyer is entitled to demand that the product conforms to the contract. However, he cannot contest its conformity by invoking a defect that he already knew about or could not have been unaware of when the contract was concluded. The same applies when the defect comes from materials that he himself supplied. In accordance with Article L. 217-12 of the Consumer Code, the action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the goods. In the event of a defect, the Consumer has the right to request the seller to repair or replace the goods, in accordance with Article L. 217-9 of the Consumer Code. The seller may, however, choose not to proceed in accordance with the consumer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other option, taking into account the value of the goods or the seriousness of the defect. If repair or replacement of the goods is not possible, the consumer may choose between a price reduction of an appropriate amount, or termination of the contract, in accordance with Article L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code. During the period of 24 months following delivery of the goods, the consumer will not be required to prove the existence of the defect. Guarantee of hidden defects The Consumer may also exercise the guarantee of hidden defects as defined in article 1641 of the Civil Code. In accordance with Article 1641 of the Civil Code, the seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them. In this case, the consumer can choose between cancelling the sale or requesting a price reduction in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. Pursuant to Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code, the action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect. |
In any event, MORPHEA BED's warranty is limited to the repair or replacement free of charge, in the same quantities, of Products recognized as defective or defective by MORPHEA BED or to reimbursement by issuing a credit note to the exclusion of any other claim, compensation or damages and provided that Consumers notify MORPHEA BED of the defect immediately after its discovery, by any written means during the warranty period referred to in this article. Defective or defective Products will be returned to MORPHEA BED according to the same procedure as that applicable to non-compliant Products under the conditions provided for in article 5 of the General Conditions of Sale.
The following provisions apply to all Customers.
Subject to any legal provision of public order, MORPHEA BED does not contract any particular or specific guarantee for its Products and/or Services and its obligations are limited to the sale and delivery of Products and/or Services in compliance with the requirements of the standards in force applicable in this area, to the exclusion of any implementation, which remains the sole responsibility of the Customers.
The following are notably excluded from the guarantees provided by MORPHEA BED :
- any warranty as to the suitability of the Products for the Customer's needs and/or the use of the Products;
- the defect of the Products and/or damage resulting from a lack of supervision of the Products and, in general, from any handling of the Products not in accordance with MORPHEA BED's instructions and/or from non-compliance with applicable standards;
- the defect of the Products which would arise from a cause external to MORPHEA BED;
- damages resulting from force majeure, or resulting from fortuitous events or attributable to natural causes;
- abnormal use of the Products or in conditions unsuitable for their intended purpose;
- damage resulting from storage and/or preservation conditions that do not comply with MORPHEA BED's instructions and/or the nature of the Products;
- an installation of the Products included or not in the Services unsuitable for the needs or expectations of the Customer.
MORPHEA BED does not guarantee in any way any indirect and/or immaterial damages whatsoever which could be caused by the Products and/or Services, in particular any lost profits, operating losses, commercial or financial losses, loss of turnover and/or profit or expected savings, loss of customers, loss of opportunity, damage to image, increase in overheads and/or other costs.
The Services ordered will be carried out by MORPHEA BED or by a service provider acting on its behalf.
MORPHEA BED guarantees Customers against any lack of conformity of the Services with the order and any hidden defect, arising from a design or production fault of the Services provided and making them unfit for the use for which they were intended, to the exclusion of any negligence or fault of the Customers in accordance with the legal provisions in force.
MORPHEA BED's liability for the performance of the Services excludes all damages related to indirect and/or immaterial losses and/or any damages resulting in particular from any lost profit, operating loss, commercial or financial loss, loss of turnover and/or profit or anticipated savings, loss of customers, loss of opportunity, damage to image, increase in overheads and/or other costs, which may arise.
In any event, MORPHEA BED's liability is limited to the amount excluding tax paid by Customers for the provision of the Services.
12.2- Responsibilities
MORPHEA BED cannot be held liable for damage or accidents resulting from negligence, lack of supervision or maintenance, incidents resulting from fortuitous events or force majeure, or attributable to natural causes.
Furthermore, MORPHEA BED shall not be held liable under any circumstances for indirect and/or immaterial and/or unforeseeable damages suffered by Customers or third parties, and/or in particular for any lost profits, operating losses, commercial or financial losses, loss of turnover and/or profit or anticipated savings, loss of customers, loss of opportunity, damage to image, increase in overheads and/or other costs, which may arise as a result of the execution of an order. In particular, any action brought by a third party against Customers shall be deemed to be indirect damages and, consequently, shall not give rise to compensation.
Assuming that MORPHEA BED's liability is established, this will in any event be limited to the amount of the price of the Products and/or Services actually paid by the Customers under their order.
Customers are solely responsible for:
- the use of the Products supplied by MORPHEA BED and their suitability for their intended purpose;
- to ensure good storage conditions for the Products, to avoid defective use of the Products, use other than that for which they were validated or use not in accordance with the rules of the art.
Article 13: Termination
In the event of failure by Customers to meet one of their obligations, MORPHEA BED reserves the right - at its sole discretion - either to suspend the Services and/or deliveries of the Products upon simple notice sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or to terminate the order at the exclusive fault of the Customer, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt in the event of formal notice sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt remaining unsuccessful for a period of fifteen (15) days from its receipt.
Termination will be notified by sending a registered letter and will take effect from its first date of presentation, the postmark being proof thereof, without prejudice to the other rights of MORPHEA BED under the General Conditions of Sale and the damages owed for the losses suffered by the creditor of the obligation that MORPHEA BED reserves the right to claim.
In the event of termination, whatever the reason, all sums owed to MORPHEA BED will be immediately due.
Article 14: Force majeure
In the event of non-performance of one of the obligations provided for in the sales contract, the party unable to perform its obligation will not be considered in default or liable for compensation, if the performance of the obligation has been made impossible by a case of force majeure.
Force majeure means the event as defined in Article 1218 of the Civil Code. If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the contract. If the impediment is permanent, the contract is automatically terminated and the parties are released from their obligations.
Article 15: General
15.1- Independence of the Parties
The Parties are independent both legally and financially, and the conclusion of an order cannot under any circumstances be considered as an act constituting a mandate relationship, a franchise concession and/or any legal entity.
15.2-Transferability
These presents are concluded intuitu personae, by reason of the person of the Client. Consequently, the Client formally prohibits itself from assigning or otherwise transferring in any way whatsoever, all or part of the rights and obligations arising from these presents without the express and prior consent of MORPHEA BED.
15.3-Partial invalidity
If one or more of the provisions of the General Conditions of Sale are held to be invalid or declared as such pursuant to a law, regulation, or following a final decision of a competent court, the other provisions shall retain their full force and scope.
15.4-Waiver
The fact that one of the Parties does not avail itself of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not subsequently be interpreted as a waiver of the provision in question. Any waiver shall only be effective in the event of a modification duly accepted by a duly authorized representative of each of the Parties.
15.5- Notifications
Any notification under this agreement will be made by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the Customer's address as defined on the order and to MORPHEA BED's address as defined in the General Conditions of Sale.
15.6- Unforeseen circumstances
The Parties agree that in the event that the data on which an order is based are modified to such an extent that one or other of the Parties encounters serious and unforeseeable difficulties, they will consult each other and must demonstrate mutual understanding with a view to making the adjustments which appear necessary following circumstances which were not reasonably foreseeable at the date of the order, in order to re-establish the conditions of a fair agreement.

The General Terms and Conditions of Sale are written in French. If a translation is made, only the French version will have contractual value.

If MORPHEA BED makes such modifications, MORPHEA BED will publish the modified General Terms and Conditions of Sale on the Website, along with the date of the modification.

Article 16: Mediation
In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Consumer Code relating to the "alternative dispute resolution process for consumers", provided for in Articles L. 611-1 et seq., MORPHEA BED offers consumers effective access to this alternative dispute resolution method.
The proposed alternative dispute resolution entity is the Association of European Consumer Mediators. In the event that MORPHEA BED cannot resolve a dispute using its internal complaints handling procedure or in the event that the consumer is not satisfied with the solution provided by the internal complaints handling service and their complaint is less than one year old, the Consumer may address their complaint to the Association of European Consumer Mediators by:
- mail to the following address: 11 place Dauphine in Paris (75001).
- electronically directly on the website available at the following address: mediationconso-ame.com .
In any case, MORPHEA BED:
- will inform the consumer that we cannot find a solution to the dispute, and
- Will provide Consumers, in this case, with the information required by the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Act, including the contact details of the mediator, as indicated above.
If you would like more information, the European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. This online platform serves as a central point of contact for consumers who have purchased goods or services online and subsequently experience problems with their purchase. It simplifies the out-of-court settlement of disputes arising from contractual obligations in online purchase contracts.
To this end, the ODR platform transfers disputes to so-called online dispute resolution bodies (ODR entities), which are included in the national lists of ODR entities and which meet the quality requirements of the ODR regulation.
