TERMS OF SALES
The sales are subject to these general terms and conditions, which take precedence over all purchase conditions unless expressly waived by us.
Any order submitted to us directly or through an intermediary, such as our online store, is binding upon the buyer only after our express acceptance.
We cannot, under any circumstances, be held responsible in the event of a permanent or temporary discontinuation of the sale of a product or service. If obsolete products are ordered, a new commercial proposal for available items will be made to the customer. However, the customer may not demand delivery or compensation for obsolete products.
The prices indicated on the order form or in the website cart will be maintained for one month from the date of signing. If delivery or service does not occur within this period, the prices invoiced will be those in effect on the day of delivery.
Prices are quoted excluding taxes. All duties and taxes currently applicable or that may become applicable will be invoiced in addition.
The stated prices take into account payment in full upon ordering, regardless of the agreed method of payment.
No order will be validated or accepted by HVM Racing unless full payment of the amounts due has been made in advance.
In the case of payment by credit card, the cards are charged on the day the order is recorded and the customer’s banking details are entered.
Our delivery times are provided for information purposes only. Any delay shall not justify the cancellation of the order, nor give rise to penalties or compensation.
Our goods travel at the consignee’s risk. The transfer of risk occurs, for sales within mainland France, upon delivery to the address indicated on the order, and for other sales, upon handover to the customer’s forwarding agent in the PARIS airport area.
Ownership of the products and equipment is transferred only after full payment of the order.
The customer must check the apparent condition of the products upon delivery and, in the event of damage, must precisely state any reservations on the delivery note, confirm them to the carrier by registered letter within three days of delivery, and inform HVM Racing in writing within 15 days of delivery of any transport-related damages. No claim will be accepted if these formalities are not observed.
Clarifications when the sale concerns track time, passenger rides, private tests, or entry fees :
The sale is considered firm and final upon receipt of the corresponding payment. No refund will be issued, even in the event of non-participation.
The track times indicated are provided for information purposes only. No refund will be made in the event of a shortened or cancelled session.
In the event of exclusion by a sporting or administrative authority, the buyer shall not be entitled to any refund or compensation.
Track access tickets must be collected at the competitor welcome desk by the driver upon presentation of a valid driving licence, an FFSA competitor licence, and a signed waiver of recourse.
The participant declares and acknowledges that they are taking part voluntarily and on their own initiative. HVM Racing cannot be held liable in any way.
The participant must comply with the safety instructions, licensing requirements, and equipment regulations established by the FFSA.
The participant must also comply with the internal regulations of the circuit. It is specified that HVM Racing acts solely as a promoter and is never the organiser of the track sessions, whether private tests or official sessions.
The participant acknowledges that they are solely responsible for any damage caused, including to themselves. Any damage caused to the circuit infrastructure will also be the participant’s responsibility.
The participant acknowledges having read and accepted the notice regarding compulsory insurance and associated risks (link here).
In accordance with the provisions of the law of May 12, 1980, the equipment remains our property until full payment of the price has been made. Any failure to pay may therefore result in the automatic cancellation of the order and the recovery of unpaid equipment, supplies, and accessories, without any judicial formalities.
The Client undertakes to take all necessary measures to prevent the removal, pledging, or seizure of the products covered by this clause. They also agree to list them separately in the assets section of their balance sheet and to facilitate their identification within their inventory. If the Client resells the products before having fully paid for them, they must provide us with the names and addresses of the sub-purchasers, agree to assign to us the amounts owed by these sub-purchasers up to the due amount, and inform them of the existence of a retention of title clause in our favor and of our right to demand payment.
In the event of enforcement of this clause, the amounts already collected by our company shall remain acquired as damages, up to a limit of 30% of the price of the product concerned.
Our equipment, products, and supplies are guaranteed. This guarantee is subject to the manufacturers’ warranties, both in duration and in application. Defective products covered by our warranty must be returned to us in full, in their original packaging, and only after our prior approval.
The warranty does not cover compensation for any damage that the purchaser may suffer as a result of defects in the equipment or supplies sold.
It becomes void :
-
when the equipment, products, or supplies have been used or worn;
-
when the defects are directly or indirectly due to poor maintenance, abnormal use (even temporary), or installation under abnormal or extreme conditions.
-
No request for cancellation will be accepted once the order has been received by us, as it constitutes a firm and final commitment by the buyer.
Any claim will only be valid if submitted within 15 days of delivery of the goods to the customer.
All returns of goods must be previously agreed upon with us. Returned goods must be shipped prepaid to our headquarters.
In the event of failure to pay the full price by the agreed due date, this contract shall be automatically terminated in our favor, without prejudice to any damages that may be claimed from the defaulting customer. Termination shall take effect eight days after a formal notice remains unanswered.
The parties shall be released from their obligations in cases of force majeure. Events considered as force majeure include, but are not limited to, an export ban imposed by a government authority, labor disputes resulting in a general or sectoral strike, and disruptions affecting transportation.
10.2 If the effects of a force majeure event continue for more than three months, each party shall have the right to terminate the order whose delivery has been delayed as a result.
11.1 These general terms and any resulting agreements are governed by French law.
11.2 For any dispute that may arise in connection with these general terms or any resulting agreements, exclusive jurisdiction is granted to the Courts of Nanterre.
