The buyer declares that they are at least eighteen years old, have legal capacity, or hold an authorization allowing them to enter into the present general terms and conditions of sale and place an order on the website.

The parties agree that their relationship will be governed exclusively by this contract. The acquisition of a product through this website implies the buyer's unconditional acceptance of these terms of sale. These terms of sale prevail over any other general or specific conditions not expressly accepted by RODHOUSE SAS, unless previously, expressly, and in writing agreed upon.
