Article 2 - Purpose

The purpose of the general terms and conditions of sale is to define the terms and conditions of distance selling of Products between the Seller and the Customer from the Site. Together with the online order, they constitute the contractual documents binding on the parties.

The applicable conditions are those in force on the Site on the date of the order. Please note that these are subject to change without notice. The modified conditions will then be immediately published on the Site. The modified general terms and conditions of sale will have no effect on orders placed before the modification was made. The modifications are only valid for orders placed after the publication of the new general terms and conditions of sale on our Site.

We therefore ask you to consult the general terms and conditions of sale on our website with each order.

Any order implies that you have first read the general sales conditions in force and that you have accepted them without reservation.
You will be able to print/download the current terms and conditions from our Site. Should any of the clauses of the general terms and conditions be null and void as a result of a change in legislation or regulations or as a result of a court decision, this shall in no way affect the validity of and compliance with the other clauses of the general terms and conditions.

Article 3 - Products, prices, ordering

Article 3.1: Products
Each Product is presented by an information sheet which specifies its essential characteristics, in particular its type (category of toy, use, educational interest, appropriate ages, description, if applicable, the  number of pieces, players, etc.), its substantial qualities (materials, dimensions, accessories, etc.), and if applicable, game rules, instructions for use, notices, etc., a photo of the Product and its price. The information sheet also shows the delivery methods offered as well as the associated delivery times and costs.

Each information sheet is prepared with the utmost accuracy and precision in order to provide the most faithful and complete description. However, due to the digital presentation of the Products on the Internet, your perception of the photographic representation of a Product may not match the Product itself exactly, depending, in particular, on the resolution of your screen.

In addition, the Product packaging, and in particular, their graphic charter, changes regularly so it is always up to date and matches our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) commitments as closely as possible. We endeavour to keep the visuals of our Products, including their packaging, up to date with the latest version, but they may, temporarily, not be up to date, depending on the exact stock rotation, so you may receive a Product with different packaging from the one shown on the Site on the purchase date (different graphic chart). In any case, we guarantee the same level of packaging quality.

Article 3.2: Price:
The prices are indicated for each Product in euros, all taxes included, excluding delivery costs. Delivery costs are an additional charge. For further details, please refer to article 5.4 "Delivery costs".

The prices charged are those in force on the day the order is placed.
We may change the prices displayed on our Site at any time, but we will apply the prices in effect, which were displayed to you at the time of your order. Price changes are only valid for orders placed after the change.

The current price will be stated before the order is confirmed.

Article 3.3: Ordering - Purchasing process - Withdrawal

Article 3.3.1: Ordering - Purchasing journey
The Customer completes the order by completing the following four steps:

  • Step 1: Log in to your customer account or create a customer account

  • Step 5: Conclusion of the contract.

Once payment has been made, an "Order Confirmation" page will appear to confirm that your order has been successfully placed and summarise the details of your order. You will receive email notification that your order has been recorded. Please keep the validation email for your order.
The contract shall be deemed to be concluded between the parties as soon as we have received payment.
In the absence of proof to the contrary, our records constitute proof of the transactions. They will be archived on a durable medium and can be accessed as specified below.
You will be able to print your invoice as soon as your order is confirmed from the confirmation email that will be sent to you or at any time from your customer account in the "Order History" section where the order details are archived. The invoice includes the amount of the bank transaction, detailed and exhaustive list of Products, and the billing and delivery address(es).

Article 3.3.2: Cancellation
We reserve the right to cancel the sale of any Product for good cause, including in the following cases:

  • abnormal, incomplete or incorrect request;
  • communication by the Customer of clearly erroneous data;
  • the Customer’s financial institution refuses authorisation or the Customer blocks bank access;
  • available inventory displayed incorrectly due to a computer problem;
  • on the event of an order placed by a person who can be in the assumed not to be a consumer, such as an abnormally high order;
  • Customer dispute history;
  • or in a case of force majeure as defined in Article 11 "Force majeure".

If your order is affected by any of the above cancellation reasons, we will notify you and provide a refund.

Article 3.3.3 - Right of withdrawal
Article 3.3.3.1 - What is the right of withdrawal?

You have the right to cancel without providing a reason within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt for your order:

  • In the case of single delivery: this period expires fourteen days after the day on which you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier takes physical possession of the goods;
  • In the case of multiple deliveries for the same order: this period expires fourteen days after the day on which you, or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier takes physical possession of the last item.

If the time limit expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it shall be extended until the expiry of the last hour of the next business day.

After this period, the Product shall be deemed to have been accepted.

You will be responsible for the costs associated with the return. Article 3.3.3.3 "Return" specifies the terms and conditions for returns.

In the event of a withdrawal and compliant return, we will refund all payments received from you, including delivery costs, in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 3.3.3.4 "Refund" below.

Article 3.3.3.2 - How to exercise your right of withdrawal
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us of your intention to exercise this right.
The following options are available:

  • The easiest way to do this is to go to the "Order History" section of your account and click on order details.
  • You can also use the sample withdrawal form reproduced in Appendix 1 hereof and send it to us at the address provided in Article 1 "Definitions" of the general terms and conditions of sale.
  • Or make any other unambiguous statement expressing your wish to withdraw.

In order for the withdrawal period to be respected, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period specified in Article 3.3.3.1 "What is the right of withdrawal".

Article 3.3.3.3 - Returns
After having communicated your decision to withdraw in the manner specified in Article 3.3.3.2 "How to exercise your right of withdrawal", you must return the Product without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days after having communicated your decision to withdraw. This period is deemed to have been observed if you return the goods before the 14-day period has expired.

You will be responsible for the costs of returning the Product.

You have the following options to return the Product:

  • Option 1: Go to your account, and then to the "Order History" section. After clicking on the details of your order, you can file a Product return and receive a return label by email to attach to the package. If you choose this option, you will benefit from the preferential rate we offer of 5 to 8 euros (including VAT) per return label, depending on the country from which the return is made. This amount will be deducted from your refund.
  • Option 2: Go to your account, and then to the "Order History" section. After clicking on order details for your order, you can state you are returning the Product and return it using your own means. To do so, print the return form available under the "Product returns" heading. Please make sure that you place this return form in your parcel.

You are responsible for placing the return. The returned Product must be suitable for resale. Therefore, the Products should not have been handled for any purpose other than assessing whether or not they meet your expectations. Products that need to be assembled (e.g. our kitchens) must not have been damaged during assembly. Also, many of our products are composed of small parts. The protective films and stickers present on some of our Products are intended to ensure the integrity and completeness of the Products. In order to ensure the resale of the Product and to avoid any depreciation, we ask that you ensure that you return the Product complete and, as much as possible, in its original packaging and in a suitable box to avoid any damage during transport (use crumpled paper or bubble wrap for cushioning).

Don't forget to stick your return label on the package (Option 1) or place your completed return form in the package (Option 2).

It is your responsibility to provide proof of this return.

Article 3.3.3.4 - Refunds
Returns can only be accepted for Products that are not depreciated and may even be resold as specified further in article 3.3.3.3 "Returns" above.
If the return is found to be in order, we will refund the full amount of the ordered Product including the order’s delivery.
If you exercise your right of withdrawal on only part of the Products purchased, we will not be obliged to refund the delivery costs, as these are flat rates.

Article 4 - Payment for the order

The price can be paid according to the two following methods:

      1. Payment of the full price at the time of the order. You can choose to pay :

  • by credit card (Visa, Mastercard) or Bancontact.
  • by PayPal.
  • by Apple Pay.

You can also use a Janod e-gift card. Your e-gift card codes must be entered at the time of payment.


      2. Payment for the order in three instalments without charge (payment method currently not available for payments made from Monaco and Spain): you can pay in three instalments without charge with the payment method offered by our partner Scalapay for all orders between 5 euros and 1000 euros.

The Product you have received has a malfunction.
Article 9.1 "Legal guarantee of conformity" and 8.2 "Legal guarantee of hidden defects" will provide you with all the details necessary to deal with this situation.

You have changed your mind and wish to exercise your right of withdrawal.
You have the right to withdraw without providing a reason within a certain period of time from the date of receipt of your order. Article 3.3.3 "Right of withdrawal" will provide you with all the necessary information about how to exercise this right.

Article 9 - Legal guarantees

The Seller, whose name and address are specified in Article 1 "Definitions", is liable for defects in the conformity of the Product (Legal Guarantee of Conformity) and for hidden defects in the item sold under the conditions provided for in Article 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code (Guarantee against Hidden Defects).

Article 9.1 - Legal guarantee of conformity

Article 9.1.1 - What is the legal guarantee of conformity?
Scenario 1: You notice a lack of conformity less than two years after delivery of the product:

The lack of conformity concerned:

  • The Product is not in conformity with the contract. This means that the Product does not conform to the description given in the product sheet, the type or quantity ordered, quality, functionality, etc. as provided for in the contract/order. The product is also not compliant if it is delivered without all of its accessories or installation instructions.
  • The Product does not correspond to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including durability, functionality and safety, which the consumer may legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the goods and to public statements made by the Seller, including in advertising or labelling.

In the event that the Product contains such a lack of  conformity, which existed at the time of delivery of the goods, but which may have appeared subsequently, within a maximum period of 2 years from delivery of the goods*1, you may act on the basis of the legal guarantee of conformity in accordance with the following procedures:

Defects which appear within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:
You have a maximum of 2 years from the delivery of the Product to act on the basis of this guarantee*1.
When you act under the legal guarantee of conformity:
  • You are entitled to have the Product in conformity. That is, you can choose between repairing*2* or replacing the good. There is no charge to the Consumer for this conformity.
  • Or, failing that, you are entitled to a reduction in price or to having the contract rescinded*3.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted*4**.

If necessary, you may also decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code according to the terms described below in Article 8.2 "Legal guarantee against hidden defects". Under this scenario, you can choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French civil code.
*1 For the benefit of consumers who reside in Spain, we would like to make the following clarification: This period is extended to 3 years under the reform of Decreto-legislativo 7 /2021.

*2 Due to the nature of our Products, we only repair Products with spare parts and only certain Products. If the Product, due to its nature, cannot be repaired, we will provide a replacement.

*3 This means that if repair or replacement with an identical Product is not possible, you are entitled to a refund of the Product price. We may ask you to return the Product.

*4** Please note that the Seller does not provide any commercial guarantee in addition to the legal guarantees for its Products.

Scenario 2: You discover a lack of conformity over two years after delivery of the product:
You can no longer benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity.
You may be able to benefit from a guarantee against hidden defects.
We remind you that the Seller does not grant any commercial guarantee in addition to the legal guarantees for its Products.

Article 9.2 - Legal guarantees for hidden defects

Article 9.2.1 - What is the legal guarantee against hidden defects?

Specific case: The Product has a hidden defect.

A helpful clarification of what is considered a product with a hidden defect under the French Civil Code:

Article 1641:
The seller is liable for hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish that purpose that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he or she had known of them.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:
You can decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the item sold: you have 2 years from the discovery of the hidden defect to implement the legal guarantee against hidden defects. The duration of this guarantee is limited to 5 years after purchase.

Scenario 1: The sale took place less than 5 years ago and you claim the guarantee within two years of the discovery of the defect:
Under this scenario, you can choose between the cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the sale price, in accordance with article 1644 of the French civil code.


Scenario 2: The sale took place less than 5 years ago and you are making a claim under the guarantee over two years after the defect was discovered
Under this scenario, your claim is not admissible on this basis.

Scenario 3: The sale took place over 5 years ago.
Under this scenario, your claim is not admissible on this basis.

Article 9.2.2 - How to exercise the legal guarantee against hidden defects
For any complaint relating to a hidden defect in a Product, please go to your account or to the "FAQ & Contact" section where several After-sales service forms are available (Contact forms). Each form specifies the information required to process your claim.

Following analysis of the claim, if it is admissible, you will be able to choose between the cancelation of the sale or a reduction of the price. If the Product is returned, we will pay for and issue a return label.

Article 10 - Seller's liability


We decline all liability, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the Customer in the following cases:

  • In the case of inappropriate use of the Product;
  • in the case the Product has been modified;
  • in the event of non-compliance with age recommendations for the Product.

Article 11 - Force majeure

Force majeure occurs when the event is beyond the control of one of the parties to the contract, which could not have reasonably foreseen it at the time it was concluded and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate means.

In particular, the following are considered to be cases of force majeure, without this list being exhaustive: war (including civil war), strikes, attacks, fire, flooding, restrictions or provisions imposed by national, European and international authorities, epidemics, pandemics, total or partial interruption or blockage of electrical telecommunications networks, acts of computer piracy, unexpected shortage of stock by our suppliers, as well as any case recognised as such by case law.

Thus, if the non-execution or delay in the execution of the contractual obligations results from a case of force majeure as defined above, the Seller cannot be held responsible.

We will notify you as soon as possible of any inability to perform our contractual obligations that may be a result of a force majeure event.

The performance of the Seller's obligation (in particular, delivery within the period agreed) shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event if it is temporary. This means that our deadlines will be extended for a period equivalent to that of the force majeure event. This suspension of obligations shall not, under any circumstances, invoke liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it lead to the payment of damages. As soon as the cause of the suspension is over, we will make all reasonable and necessary efforts to resume the normal performance of the contractual obligations. To this end, we will notify you of the resumption of our obligation.

However, if the impediment is permanent, the contract concluded between the Seller and the Customer shall be purely and simply cancelled and the Seller shall proceed with a full refund to the Customer.

Article 12 - Dispute resolution and applicable law

Article 12.1 - Applicable law

These general terms and conditions shall be executed and interpreted in accordance with French law without prejudice to the application of the law of the country in which the Customer has his or her habitual residence when such law would provide greater protection.

Article 12.2 - Dispute resolution

In the event of a dispute, the Customer

  • First sends the complaint to the Customer Service Department in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this document, according to the case in question.
  • If the dispute cannot be resolved directly with the Customer Service, the Customer has the right to resort to the consumer mediation service free of charge.

*What is consumer mediation?
Consumer mediation is an out-of-court dispute resolution process whereby a consumer and a professional attempt to reach an agreement to resolve a dispute between them amicably, with the help of a third party, the mediator. If the parties fail to reach an amicable agreement, the mediator proposes a solution to settle the dispute.
It is therefore an alternative to often lengthy and costly legal actions. However, the consumer still has the ability to go to court if the mediation is unsuccessful.
Consumer mediation applies to any national or cross-border dispute between a consumer and a professional in the context of the performance of a contract of sale or provision of services.

The Mediator contact we have chosen is: Sas Mediation Solution.

To refer a matter to the Mediator, you must make your request:
