The Customer guarantees Le Voyage à Nantes that he/she is the holder of the bank card used for the payment of the Order and that he/she has sufficient funds to fully cover the payment of his/her Order.

La Banque Postale is the recipient on behalf of Le Voyage à Nantes of the data related to the Order. The non-transmission of data relating to the Order prevents the transaction from being carried out and analysed.

Moreover, Le Voyage à Nantes uses the secure payment systems of the Banque Postale During the credit card payment transaction, the Customer will be directly and automatically connected to the Banque Postale server. The Customer's banking data, protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, will not transit, and will therefore not be kept by the computer systems of Le Voyage à Nantes.

This service is offered to the Customer by his credit institution. The authentication procedure to be followed is specific to each bank (date of birth, code received by sms, by e-mail, etc.), so the Customer is invited to check beforehand how his bank card works with this system by taking advice from his banking establishment. If the authentication process cannot be validated or if three (3) authentication failures occur, the system will redirect the Customer to another payment method.

If, for any reason whatsoever, it is impossible to debit the sums due in payment of the Order, the purchase process on the E-Shop will be cancelled.

The occurrence of an unpaid amount due to fraudulent use of a bank card shall result in the registration of the details relating to the Order associated with this unpaid amount in a payment incident file set up by the Banque Postale.

In accordance with Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, as amended, relating to information technology, files and freedoms and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of data, the Customer has the right to access, rectify and object to all of his personal data at any time, as set out in Article 17 below. 

9.3- Invoicing - Late payment: :

A detailed invoice is sent to You in the parcel that is sent to You and can be downloaded from Your customer account if You have created a customer account.

You can then download the electronic invoice for printing.

The acceptance of the parcel automatically entails, in the event of late payment, in addition to the application of late payment penalties, the invoicing of administrative costs incurred by the late collection of the invoice, which may amount to 60 euros excluding tax (HT).

In case of late payment, the invoicing of late payment penalties and administrative costs does not exclude the possibility for Le Voyage à Nantes to claim additional damages. Finally, the Customer, whoever he may be, may never, on the grounds of a claim made by him, withhold all or part of the sums owed by him, or operate a compensation. In case of litigation, Le Voyage à Nantes will be entitled to claim reimbursement from the Customer of the costs related to the lawsuit.

- Article 1641 of the Civil Code: "The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so diminish that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lower price for it, if he had known about them.”
