Only Products of the Sophie & Lucie brand or those distributed by the website https://www.sophieandlucie.com/ can be listed for Sale on the Site.
4.1.1 Listing and creating ads
Listing a Product on the site involves creating an Ad. A single User can list an unlimited quantity of Sophie & Lucie brand Products for free. However, it is prohibited to list the same Product multiple times. The Seller agrees to promptly remove the Ad for any Product that becomes unavailable from the Site.
Once registered, Sellers can create an Ad using a form that allows them to present the characteristics of the Products they are offering for Sale. Sellers commit to describe the Product using the form in the clearest and most precise manner possible.
Sellers can add various content to their Ads, including text and photographs (the "Content").
Nopli advises Users to include multiple photographs of the sold Product in each Ad to allow the Buyer to visualize the Product as a whole. Users are also encouraged to highlight any defects in the photographs of the listed Product. The Seller who has listed the Product can remove, complete, or modify the Ad at any time until a Buyer expresses their intention to purchase the Product.
At the time of listing the Product, the Seller chooses the Payment Option for the amount of their sale: Voucher or Bank Transfer.
4.1.2 Moderation and publication of ads
All Ads posted on the Site will be verified and completed by Nopli before being published. Additionally, post-publication moderation may be performed to remove and/or suspend Ads that do not comply with the rules specified in the general conditions.

Any Ad concerning a Product that is not from the Sophie & Lucie brand or is not distributed on the site https://www.sophieandlucie.com/ or is a counterfeit of the Sophie & Lucie brand or any other brand will be immediately removed.
To ensure the availability of Products, Ads older than 6 months will be deactivated. The Seller will receive an email 3 days before the 6-month term, allowing them to renew their Ad if desired. The absence of renewal will lead to the removal of the Ad.
To relist the affected Products, the User must create a new Ad.
4.1.3 Validation / Cancellation of the Sale
When a Buyer has ordered one or more Products, the Seller receives an order notification by email indicating that they have a period of five (5) days from the receipt of the email to ship the order.
If the Seller has not shipped and/or delivered the Products according to the chosen delivery method within the 7-day acceptance period, the Sale will be canceled. Nopli reserves the right to suspend the account of any Seller whose order cancellation rate is abnormally high.
If the Seller has chosen a bank transfer as the Payment Option, they must also undergo an identity verification by the payment service provider.
4.2 Purchases of items

Any order constitutes express and irrevocable acceptance of the indicated prices and the descriptions of the Products in the Ads.
The Buyer declares that they have read and accepted these General Terms of Use before placing their order.

Service Fees may apply to the order. These cover the Internet management fees of the Site as well as fees related to buyer protection (see Nopli Protection).
Delivery Fees are the responsibility of the Buyer.
Upon validation of the payment step, the Buyer will be charged the amount corresponding to their order on the same day.
From the last click of acceptance, the order is considered irrevocable.
Upon completion and payment of the order, the Buyer will receive a confirmation email indicating the order number and its amount. The email will also remind the Buyer that the order must be shipped by the Seller within 5 days, failing which the Buyer may request a refund.
When the Buyer collects the package, they must validate their order for the Seller to receive the sale amount. By default, any order will be automatically validated 72 hours after the order is received.
If the Buyer does not collect their package within the timeframe or report any incidents regarding it, the transaction will be considered completed and confirmed. However, amicable solutions may be considered between the Buyer and Seller through Nopli depending on the circumstances. In case of non-collection of the package within the deadline by the Buyer, service and transport fees may be charged to the Buyer.
4.2.2 Cancellation of the order and refund
i. In the case of a sale between individuals
The sale being concluded between two individuals, the Buyer does not benefit from a right of withdrawal as defined by the current regulations. If the Product does not suit the Buyer, they cannot request the cancellation or refund of their order. However, if they notice a non-compliance between the received Product and the Ad, the Buyer has the option to suspend the Transaction by reporting an issue to the Seller through Nopli.
The Buyer can report an issue to the Seller through Nopli within 72 hours from the date of collection (delivery) of the package. After this period, the Transaction is automatically validated.
Once the issue is reported, the sale is suspended until an agreement is reached between both parties through Nopli. Any dispute arising between Users on the Website regarding the conformity of Products will be managed, arbitrated, or mediated by Nopli.
ii. In the case of a sale between a professional and an individual
According to Article L. 221-1 of the Consumer Code, the Buyer has no right of withdrawal when purchasing an Article from a non-professional Seller. The Buyer (acting as a consumer) is protected by consumer rights when purchasing an Article from a professional Seller and can approach the jurisdiction of their choice to enforce the consumer protection rules of their country. The professional Seller must apply the national law of the Buyer concerning consumer protection provisions.
According to Article L 121-21 of the Consumer Code, Buyers are informed that they have a period of 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the ordered Products to exercise their right of withdrawal, without penalty and without reason, except for return fees, with a professional Seller.
