1.2
1.2.1 Validation and Confirmation
At the end of the order, on the page entitled "ORDER / VALIDATION," the customer will be asked to verify all the information and then click on the "VALIDATE MY ORDER" icon to confirm the order. It is important to note that at this stage, clicking on "VALIDATE MY ORDER" will constitute an electronic signature indicating the customer's definitive acceptance of the general terms and conditions of sale.
After validating the order, a confirmation email will be sent to the customer. The content of this email should be kept carefully by the customer, as certain information may be requested during future correspondence.
If for any reason the confirmation email does not arrive, the customer should contact Tabio to verify that the order has been properly recorded.
1.2.2 Declined Transaction
Likewise, Tabio reserves the right to refuse a transaction or service, arbitrarily. For example, Tabio may choose not to follow up on an order placed on its site by a professional or other entity intending to resell Tabio items to a third party. Similarly, Tabio will be entitled to refuse any order made by a customer with whom there is a dispute concerning the payment of a previous order, as well as any order not complying with these general terms and conditions of sale.
Furthermore, the customer or a third party cannot blame Tabio if the transaction is refused for the following reasons:
- Removal of an item from online sale, whether it has been sold or not.
- Modification or deletion of information or content published on the site.
- Refusal of payment, cancellation, or suspension of the transaction after processing has begun.
2. PAYMENT OF PURCHASES
2.1
2.1.1 Prices
Prices are displayed in Euros and include VAT at the rate in force in Metropolitan France. The VAT (if applicable) will be adjusted to the legal rate in force in the delivery territory and will therefore be recalculated at the time of payment. Deliveries to Switzerland and any other countries outside the European Union may be subject to possible taxes and customs duties imposed by the carrier upon receipt of the package, after customs clearance.
2.1.2 Payment
The amount of the order includes the price of the items ordered as well as shipping costs. Payment for purchases will be debited on the day the order is shipped. Payment will not be made if for any reason Tabio informs the customer that they cannot proceed with the order or if the customer cancels their order in accordance with the instructions specified in our Orders - Information section. The customer ensures that the payment card used belongs to them and notes that all credit card holders may be subject to checks by the card issuer. If for any reason the issuer were to refuse authorization of a payment, Tabio cannot be held responsible for any delays or non-delivery of the order.
2.2
2.2.1 Credit Cards
Payment for purchases is made by credit card only.
Tabio accepts cards from MasterCard, Visa, Carte Bleue, American Express, Diners, JCB, and PayPal networks.
The customer's credit card will be charged when the order is shipped.
2.2.2 Security Code: "What is a security code?"
The security code of a credit card is a unique number printed on the credit card. This number is not engraved on the card and therefore does not appear on receipts. Only the person holding the card can know this number. Security codes will have a different composition and location depending on the type of credit card used.
2.2.3 Credit Card Errors
The following reasons may explain the refusal of a credit card transaction:
- One of the mandatory fields has not been completed.
- One or more requested fields contain incorrect information.
- The request was received, but it could not reach the relevant service on time.
- The billing address does not match the one indicated on the card.
- Expired card.
- Stolen or lost card.
2.2.4 International Payment Fees
Please note that our credit card processing agency is based in Japan. Your bank may identify your purchase as an international transaction and may therefore apply commission fees. The rules and conditions for calculating and applying these additional fees vary depending on the bank and credit card issuing companies. We advise you to consult your bank advisor if you would like more details.
