3.1 Digital Products

The Seller offers digital products downloadable immediately after payment, including:

3.2 Limited Edition Art Prints

The Seller offers physical art prints from his photographic series for sale (notably “Memory of Granite”, “The Fury and the Grace”, and “Atlantic Silences”), produced in black and white, square format. Each print is offered in a strictly limited edition of five (5) copies per image. Each copy is numbered and signed by the Seller’s hand. The edition number and the signature constitute inseparable authentication elements of the print; no additional reproduction of the image will be made beyond the announced limit of five copies, unless a different format or medium is explicitly offered as a distinct edition. The essential characteristics of each print (dimensions, medium, paper, finish, price) are specified on the corresponding product sheet before any order is placed. As the prints are artworks produced in a voluntarily restricted number, the Seller does not guarantee the continuous availability of any given item; once the five copies of an edition are sold, it will no longer be available for sale.

Article 4 — Prices

Prices of the products are indicated in euros (€), including all taxes where applicable. For information purposes only, an approximate conversion into US dollars (USD) may be displayed for buyers outside the euro zone; only the price in euros displayed at the time of the order is binding and constitutes the price actually invoiced. The Seller reserves the right to modify his prices at any time; products are invoiced based on the rates in effect at the time the order is validated. Shipping costs for physical prints, when applicable, are indicated separately before the final validation of the order.

Article 5 — Orders

Article 6 — Payment

Payment is made online at the time of ordering, by credit/debit card via the secure payment solution WooPayments. The Seller does not store or directly process the Customer’s banking data, as these are exclusively managed by the payment service provider.

Article 7 — Delivery and Access to Products

No physical delivery timeframe applies to these products; the Customer is invited to verify the proper receipt of the link and to download their file as soon as possible.

7.2 Art Prints

Art prints are shipped to the postal address specified by the Customer during the order process, within an indicative timeframe of: Within 3 days after payment validation, except in cases of force majeure or exceptional unavailability.

Article 8 — Right of Withdrawal

8.1 Digital Products

In accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for digital content provided on a non-material medium if the performance has begun after the Customer’s prior express agreement and express waiver of their right of withdrawal.

In the event that the right of withdrawal is exercised for an eligible print, the return shipping costs shall be borne by the Customer, and the print must be returned in its original packaging, in perfect condition.

Article 9 — Warranties

Digital products are provided “as is”. The Seller endeavors to ensure the accuracy of practical information (tide data, technical recommendations) but does not guarantee the total absence of errors and cannot be held liable for any inappropriate use of the tools provided. Art prints benefit from the legal warranty of conformity and the warranty against hidden defects, in accordance with applicable legal provisions.
