CAIRN.INFO SAS undertakes to provide immediate access to the article purchased by the user. The right to consult an article is accompanied, for certain content (at the election of those holding the rights), by the right to download the article in PDF format. The user acknowledges that CAIRN.INFO SAS is not responsible for any damage or any permanent or temporary problem caused to the data or computer equipment of the customer when downloading files from the website www.cairn.info or www.cairn-int.info.

All of the articles available on the website www.cairn.info or www.cairn-int.info are described in good faith and as accurately as possible.

The prices offered at the end of the order process indicate the total price and include the French VAT.
Prices are listed in euros.
For every purchase made, the user receives an email invoice from Cairn.info or en.cairn.info.
Orders to access articles through the CAIRN.INFO SAS websites are payable uniquely by credit card via a secure server.

In the case of an order from a country outside of the European Union, the buyer is the importer of the concerned product(s). For all products sent outside of the European Union and the French Overseas Departments and Territories, the price will be automatically calculated on the invoice excluding tax.
Customs duties, other local taxes or import duties or government taxes may be due. These duties and amounts are not the responsibility of CAIRN.INFO SAS. They are paid by the buyer and it is the buyer’s responsibility to declare and make payments to authorities and/or the competent institutions of the buyer’s country. CAIRN.INFO SAS recommends consulting the competent local authorities for information on these issues.
The prices offered at the end of the order process indicate the total price and include delivery fees and, if applicable, the VAT.
Prices are listed in euros.
The product offerings and prices of CAIRN.INFO SAS are valid as long as they are visible on the websites, subject to availability.
In the case of unavailability of an article, the buyer is informed as soon as possible by email or mail.
The buyer who is informed that a product is unavailable may cancel the order by contacting customer service.
In any event, CAIRN.INFO SAS cannot be held liable for damages resulting from the unavailability of an article.
For every purchase made, the user receives an email invoice from Cairn.info.
CAIRN.INFO SAS will ensure that the order is processed as soon as possible. CAIRN.INFO SAS cannot, however, be held liable for any delays in order processing or delivery.
Should an order not be honored within thirty days of confirmation, the buyer may cancel it, at no cost, as long as the buyer notifies CAIRN.INFO SAS of such cancelation by email, fax, or registered mail.
Amounts that the buyer has already paid will then be reimbursed within thirty days of the date of the request for reimbursement. Should articles be delivered on different dates based on their availability, the delivery will be based on the longest timeframe. Nevertheless, CAIRN.INFO SAS reserves the right to split shipments.
Indicated delivery timeframes are average timeframes and correspond to processing and delivery times for products delivered within Belgium.
Prices indicated on the website include the Belgian VAT. This is due for all consumers not subject to the VAT who reside in or have their headquarters in a European Union country. It is also due for consumers subject to the VAT who are headquartered in Belgium.
Consumers subject to the VAT who are headquartered in another country in the European Union and who wish to have a delivery sent to that country, as well as consumers from countries outside of the European Union have the option to be billed without tax. To do this, they must communicate their request to CAIRN.INFO SAS by email, fax, or registered mail. It is their responsibility to declare the import in compliance with the fiscal regulations of their country of residence.
In any event, consumers subject to the VAT are required to declare their VAT number on the order form. CAIRN.INFO SAS reserves the right to suspend an order if this information is not communicated or if the transmitted number proves to be incomplete or wrong.
Shipping fees that the buyer may possibly incur are communicated, online, at the time of order.
Delivery fees are borne by the buyer and are added to the price of the ordered product(s) and included in the invoice.
If CAIRN.INFO SAS splits the order for reasons of availability, the processing and delivery fees will be charged for a single delivery.
Pursuant to the Belgian law of July 14, 1991 on trade practices and consumer protection, the burden of damages or losses rests with the remote seller.
Thus, if the received product does not correspond to the item the buyer ordered or if it is damaged, it is possible for the buyer to return it to CAIRN.INFO SAS within seven days of receipt. CAIRN.INFO SAS will exchange the product or reimburse the amount of the order, as well as shipping fees, within thirty days of receiving the returned item. However, CAIRN.INFO SAS reserves the right to refuse to reimburse returned products if they are damaged by the buyer.
In general, an order will be deemed delivered within five business days of receipt of the items by the carrier responsible for delivery. If, however, one or more ordered products do not reach the buyer at the provided delivery address within thirty days of order confirmation, it is the buyer’s responsibility to contact CAIRN.INFO SAS, within a reasonable timeframe, to verify the status of the order.
In the event that the product that should have been delivered was misplaced during the delivery process, CAIRN.INFO SAS will make a new shipment or reimburse the amount of the order (including shipping costs of the first order).
You have the right to withdraw from this contract without cause within fourteen days.
The withdrawal period ends fourteen days after conclusion of the contract.
