by credit card: only Visa or MasterCard,

ARTICLE 8 – DELIVERIES

The products ordered by the Client will be delivered in mainland France within 30 days from payment to the address provided by the Client during account creation on the website www.moteurlivre.fr.

Delivery is defined as the transfer to the Client of physical possession or control of the Product.

Unless otherwise specified or in the case of unavailability of one or more products, the ordered products will be delivered all at once.

If the ordered products have not been delivered within 15 days after the indicative delivery date, for reasons other than force majeure or the Client’s fault, the sale may be canceled at the Client’s written request under the conditions specified in Articles L 216-2, L 216-3, and L 241-4 of the French Consumer Code.

The amounts paid by the Client will then be refunded within fourteen days following the date of contract termination, excluding any compensation or withholding.

In the event of a non-conforming Product, the Seller agrees to remedy the situation or refund the Client, as specified in the section “Seller’s Liability – Warranty.”

Deliveries are handled by an independent carrier to the address provided by the Client during account creation, which must be easily accessible to the carrier.

When the Client arranges for a carrier of their choice, delivery is considered complete as soon as the Seller hands over the ordered Products to the carrier, provided the carrier accepts the Products without reservation.

The Client acknowledges that it is the carrier’s responsibility to make the delivery and has no recourse against the Seller for any delivery failure of the transported goods.

In the event of a specific request from the Client regarding the packaging or transportation conditions of the ordered products, duly accepted in writing by the Seller, the associated costs will be subject to additional billing based on a quote previously accepted in writing by the Client.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories, manual, etc.) to allow for their resale, and must include the purchase invoice. Damaged, soiled, or incomplete Products will not be accepted.

The right of withdrawal can be exercised using the withdrawal form attached hereto, or by any other clear statement expressing the intention to withdraw.

In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal within the aforementioned period, only the price of the purchased Products and delivery charges will be refunded; return shipping costs remain the responsibility of the Client.

The refund will be made within 14 days from the notification to the Seller of the decision to withdraw.

The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may cover the Product.

Refunds for products deemed non-compliant or defective will be processed as quickly as possible and no later than 14 days following the Seller’s acknowledgment of the defect or hidden fault.

The Seller is never responsible for the installation of the delivered engines.

Once the delivery of the engine and its accessories has been completed, the Client must follow the procedure described below and have the installation carried out by a professional, within 8 days from the date of delivery.

It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure the following installation procedure is followed:

It is specified that used products come with a 3-month commercial warranty from the date of delivery.

To benefit from these provisions, the Client must notify the Seller in writing within 14 days from the installation of the engine and must provide the purchase invoices of both the engine and the installation by a certified Professional. The warranty will not apply in the event of improper installation or non-compliance with the instructions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions, or the use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.

The warranty does not apply in the event of abnormal or abusive use of the installed engine, including for any type of motor racing (rally, track, off-road, etc.).

The warranty also does not apply in the event of failure to maintain the vehicle according to the manufacturer’s standards, including the recommended lubrication methods and lubricants.

When the warranty is applied, SAS MOTEUR LIVRÉ will offer either a replacement of the defective engine or a refund.

To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must:

– Be fit for the usual purposes expected of such goods and, where applicable:
– Correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model,
– Display the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect based on public statements made by the seller, the producer, or their representative, particularly in advertising or labeling,
