1.1 Update and acceptance of the GLC

The GLC are made available to the Borrower on the Website where they can be directly consulted at any time. The Borrower may keep these T&Cs on a durable medium by printing them.

The Lender reserves the right to modify the T&Cs at any time. The modified GLC will take effect on the date of their posting on the Website and are applicable to any order placed on the Website as of this posting.

The Lender invites the Borrower to read the GLC carefully before each order, as it may have been modified. Any order implies prior consultation and acceptance of the GLC by means of a check box provided for this purpose and including a hypertext link referring to said GLC.

The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender does not transfer, by reason of the Borrower's acceptance of these General Lending Conditions, its right of ownership of the Loaned Property - said transfer of property only occurring in the event of a purchase of the Loaned Property at the end of the loan period, as detailed in article 4.2 below.

1.2. Eligibility

To be eligible for loan of an IQOS 3 DUO kit, the Borrower must necessarily meet the conditions below:

•        be an adult smoker who resides in mainland France;

•        not be involved in a current lending process;

•        not own the type of IQOS subject to the loan request

        2. Description of the Loaned product

2.1. Features

1 Pocket charger IQOS 3 DUO

The representations and pictures of the Loaned Property available on the Website have no contractual value. Philip Morris France S.A.S., as publisher of the Website, makes its best efforts to be as accurate and close as possible to reality, but it is possible that the actual rendering of the Property lent (in particular color, dimensions , textures and other characteristics) is slightly different from that of the photos appearing on the Website. This may be due to technical, photographic and computer reasons, for example due to the lighting when taking pictures and due to the resolution of the screens and the equipment or internet browsers that you use during your visit to the Website.

The Borrower is invited to refer to the description of the Property loaned on the Website to find out its precise essential characteristics. In case of doubt, or for further information on the Loaned Property, it is possible to contact Philip Morris France S.A.S. Customer Service by email contact.fr@iqos.com, calling the 0800 814 814.

2.2. Availability

The Lender strives to ensure the best availability of the Loaned Goods.

3.2. Order process

After the order validation, the Lender will acknowledge receipt of the order electronically by sending to the Borrower a confirmation email.

        4. Delivery, purchase or return

4.1 Delivery of the loaned item

The order will be delivered via UPS to the address indicated in the order (mainland France only).

Confirmed orders are delivered to the Borrower at the address indicated in the order confirmation. If the Borrower is absent at the time of delivery, the Borrower will receive a withdrawal notice at a UPS partner point. If the parcel is not picked up within the time limit, it will be returned to the Lender, and the 1€ paid upon the lending request will be refunded to the Borrower within 72 hours as of the Lender receives the parcel. The Borrower will nevertheless have the option of placing a new order by returning to the Website.

The Loaned Property will be delivered only by UPS to the Borrower, excluding any third party, may it be at the address indicated in the order confirmation or at a UPS partner point (starting on May 1st 2020).  The UPS transporter or UPS partner point will check the Borrower's identity card or passport to make sure that the latter is an adult (over 18) and matching the name indicated in the order confirmation. In the event that the Borrower's identity card or passport is not presented, the UPS carrier or the UPS partner point will not be able to deliver the package to the Borrower.

Each delivery is deemed to have been made as soon as the carrier of the Loaned Property has made available to the Borrower, materialized by the control system used by the carrier. No dispute relating to the delivery itself will be possible if the package appears to have been delivered, the computer system of the carrier being authentic.

Upon delivery, the Borrower is strongly advised to notify the carrier of any reserve on the parcel and, if applicable, the condition of the Loaned Property (e.g., opened and / or damaged package). In the event that the package is damaged on delivery, the Borrower must check in the presence of the carrier the condition of the Loaned Property before signing the delivery note and specifically indicate on the delivery note of the carrier any reservation in case of Loaned Property is missing or damaged.

Once the Loaned Property has been received, the Borrower has 2 options:

4.2. Option 1: purchase of the Loaned Property

If at the end of, or during, the thirty (30) calendar days of the loan period, which runs from the receipt of the Loaned Property by the Borrower, the Borrower decides to purchase the Loaned Property, it may enter his/her choice on his/her personal space on the Website http://iqos.com and finalize payment for the IQOS kit.

The amount of this payment will correspond to the sales price including VAT in force, deducted from € 1 already paid at the time of the lending request.

If he/she did not inform his choice on his personal space within forty (40) calendar days from the date of order of the Goods loaned by the Borrower, the latter will be debited for the amount corresponding to the sales price including VAT in force, deducted from €1 already paid at the time of the loan request.

The Borrower must then accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which will then become applicable in place of these General Lending Conditions, then validate (if the Borrower accepted when entering their bank details at the time of the Borrowing that his/her details are recorded) or enter (if not) his/her bank details. Article 3.2 “Order process” and article 5 “Delivery” of the General Conditions of Sale will not, however, apply insofar as the Borrower has already received the Loaned Property, and will therefore only have to proceed to payment. Article 6 "Right of withdrawal" applies, subject to the point of departure, which begins on the day of conclusion of the sale (namely on the day of payment of the sales price including tax deducted of € 1), the Borrower already in possession of the Loaned Property.

The transfer of ownership to the Borrower over the Loaned Property will not take place until the conclusion of the sale as well.

 

4.2. Option 2: return of Loaned Property

If at the end of, or during, the aforementioned thirty (30) calendar days lending period, the Borrower decides to return the Loaned Property, the Borrower must then inform its choice in its personal space of the Website http://iqos.com and return the IQOS kit to the Lender in its entirety, in its original packaging, and using the pre-paid return label

If he/she did not enter his/her choice on his/her personal space within forty (40) calendar days from the date of order of the Loaned Property by the Borrower, the latter will be debited for the amount corresponding to the sales price including VAT in force, deducted from € 1 already paid at the time of the loan request.

The bank information will be kept by the Lender (or its providers) until the loaned IQOS is returned, or until the actual debit of the remaining amount due in case of non-return. The Lender (or its providers) may furthermore conduct several attempts of successive debits, in case of unsuccessful debit, until the actual debit of the remaining amount due.     

The lending fee of € 1 including tax, will not be reimbursed to the Borrower in the event of return of the Loaned Property. The Loaned Property must be returned to the Lender by the Borrower in its original condition, without prejudice to damage resulting, without fault on the part of the Borrower, from normal use.

The Loaned Property must be received by the Lender within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days from return request of the Borrower placed on his personal account.

If after the period of thirty (30) calendar days from the return request of the Borrower placed on his personal account, the Lender had not received the Loaned Property, the Borrower will be debited from the amount corresponding to the sale price including VAT in force, deducted from € 1 already paid at the time of placing the order of the Loaned Property.

The Borrower undertakes to use the Loaned Property in accordance with these General Loan Conditions, its documentation, its conditions of use and the instructions and advice sent by the Lender or Philip Morris France S.A.S., including with regard to its cleaning.

The Borrower must ensure the care and conservation of the Loaned Property for the duration of the lending.

In the event of a malfunction of the Loaned Property, the Borrower agrees to contact immediately the customer service of Philip Morris France SAS at 0800 814 814 (number not surcharged from a fixed line in mainland France) from 8 a.m. at 10 p.m. and not to attempt to repair it him/herself, or have it repaired by a third party.
