The www.pandacola.com website is an intermediation service enabling professional buyers (adults if they are natural persons) or non-professionals in the sense of the introductory Article of the French Consumer Code to contact legal persons whose activity is the marketing of goods which may, where applicable, be personalised according to specific criteria defined by the Buyer, offered at a firm price or negotiated by quotation when indicated.
In order to provide services on the Platform and use the services of the Platform, the Seller shall accept these General Terms and Conditions of Service without restriction or reservation. The Seller shall also sign the Framework Contract for Payment Services, provided together with these GTCS, as well as the invoicing mandate (Appendix 6), and shall complete the list of beneficial owners. The above-mentioned documents are attached hereto.
Similarly, it is expressly agreed that, in the context of the implementation of the Platform's services, PRYNTIZ is not a contracting party to the sales contract between the Sellers and the Buyers. PRYNTIZ, as a service provider, makes the Platform's services available to Sellers under the conditions described below. It is in no case a reseller of the Products offered by the Sellers on the Platform.
THIS HAVING BEEN STATED, IT IS THUS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
In the context of these General Terms and Conditions of Service, the following terms have specific meanings when written with a capital letter, as outlined below:
The purpose of the Terms and Conditions is to define the conditions under which PRYNTIZ makes the Platform and its Services available to Sellers as well as the conditions under which Sellers use the Services and sell their Products on the Platform.
The Services comprise a set of tools that is grouped within the Seller Space.
The Seller undertakes to access and update his Seller Space on a daily basis so that:
Any legal entity whose activity is the marketing of Products, acting within the framework of its usual professional activity regularly declared as such to the competent tax and social security bodies, may register as a Seller on the Platform.
To submit a registration file to the Platform, the legal entity shall first provide various documents listed in Appendix 1 ("Platform Registration Documents"). These documents will be validated by our payment solution provider Webhelp Payment Services in order to create the Seller's dedicated escrow bank account.
The Seller shall ensure that all information provided as part of his registration on the Platform is accurate, complete and truthful.
Without PRYNTIZ's prior written agreement, the same legal entity (determined by its SIREN number) may only have one Seller Space. PRYNTIZ may immediately close any account or accounts that have been opened in violation of this rule.
Within 72 hours of receipt of all the documents set out in Appendix 1 and provided that they contain all the necessary information, PRINTYZ will notify the Seller of its decision regarding his registration on the Platform.
The Seller acknowledges that failure by PRYNTIZ to respond within five (5) business days shall constitute a refusal to register.
The Seller acknowledges that only PRYNTIZ can decide whether or not to accept the registration on the Platform, without having to justify it.
The Seller undertakes to notify PRYNTIZ of any update on the information provided at the time of registration, together with the supporting documents relating thereto. PRYNTIZ may reasonably request additional supporting documents to certify the effectiveness of the modifications stated by the Seller.
Such modification must be requested by the Messaging tool as well as by e-mail to seller@pandacola.com and will be taken into account within three (3) working days by PRYNTIZ.
The Seller shall hold PRYNTIZ free from any damage or dispute resulting from incorrect information, failure to notify or late notification.
If false or erroneous information has been provided during registration or if the Seller fails to notify an update and to provide any document and proof, or if the Seller fails to respond within two (2) days to a request from PRYNTIZ regarding any update, PRYNTIZ may terminate the Seller's registration on the Platform, in accordance with the terms of Article 9.
The Seller submits to PRYNTIZ the list of products he wishes to sell via the Platform.
PRYNTIZ selects the products that correspond to the Platform's image and notifies the Seller in writing of the Products that may be offered for sale on the Platform.
In order to integrate the selected Products into his Sales Space, the Seller may:
PRYNTIZ undertakes to provide the Platform and Services in accordance with the rules set out in these GTCS.
It is expressly agreed between the Parties that PRYNTIZ, in the context of the Services, is subject to a general obligation of means and that it is not bound by any obligation of result or enhanced means of any kind.
PRYNTIZ undertakes to use all means possible to make the Platform and the Seller's Space accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the event of force majeure or an event beyond PRYNTIZ's control and subject to any breakdowns or maintenance interventions necessary for the proper functioning of the Platform.
However, PRYNTIZ shall not be held liable for any disruptions, interruptions or malfunctions that are not its fault and that would affect, for example, transmissions over the Internet and more generally over the communication network, regardless of their importance and duration.
Furthermore, it is specified that PRYNTIZ reserves the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Platform or to suspend all or part of the Services for maintenance purposes, for improvement and the installation of new functionalities, for the audit of proper operations or in the event of a malfunction or threat thereof.
PRYNTIZ undertakes to make every effort to have the technical corrections to be made to the Seller Space concerning any malfunctions in operation and/or compliance with the applicable safety standards.
In this respect, it is specified that malfunctions are listed according to the nature of the malfunctions observed:
PRYNTIZ undertakes to do its utmost to:
PRYNTIZ complies with the Seller's legal data retention periods. Pursuant to Article L. 123-22 of the French Commercial Code, the Seller's data shall thus be kept for ten (10) years for the purpose of establishing evidence and five (5) years to prove the existence of the GTCS in accordance with Article 2224 of the French Civil Code.
In the event of termination of the T&Cs, the procedures for deleting data are detailed in the Article "Consequences of termination".
In accordance with Articles 171 AX and 242 bis of the General Tax Code (hereinafter "GTC"), PRYNTIZ informs the Seller that he is responsible for updating his tax and social obligations regarding his activity and the transactions he carries out on the Platform.
In this respect, PRYNTIZ shall address:
The Seller declares and acknowledges having read these Terms and Conditions, including the appendices. He undertakes to comply with them as well as with the laws and regulations that are applicable, in particular in matters of intellectual property law, legislation relating to the sale of products and, where applicable, extended producer responsibility.
The Seller acknowledges and guarantees that he concludes the sales contract with the Buyer alone and that, as such, he undertakes to comply with all regulations applicable to his activities and, in particular, to provide for each Product a Product Sheet containing all the elements defining it, as well as to respect any applicable law or regulation.
The Seller guarantees that he holds all the necessary rights for the marketing of his Products within the European Union and Switzerland in the context of distance selling.
Consequently, the Seller undertakes, upon simple written request by PRYNTIZ and within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of such a request, to prove by any means that he is the owner of these rights.
The Seller undertakes, where applicable, to comply with reporting and payment obligations to the tax authorities and bodies collecting social security contributions, in particular in France, in respect of his activity. For more information:
The Seller undertakes to make the following information available to the Buyers, prior to each sale:
The Seller also undertakes to respect:
In setting up and distributing his Product offer from his Sales Space, the Seller undertakes to respect all the different phases of the Onboarding process described below and to read the modules of the Seller Guide corresponding to each phase:
The Seller, in processing Orders, undertakes to comply with the Sellers' Quality of Service Policy set out in Appendix 4.
Thus, except during closing periods, the Seller undertakes to make his best efforts to:
The Seller warrants that the Products he offers for sale do not, in any way, infringe applicable laws, regulations and standards, and that they do not prejudice the rights of third parties. In this respect, the Seller undertakes in particular not to sell any Product consisting of infringing works within the meaning of the Intellectual Property Code or any Product whose marketing is regulated by legislative, regulatory or contractual provisions.
In general, the Seller warrants that the Products he offers for sale on the Platform comply with the most stringent applicable national and/or European laws, regulations and standards, including their packaging.
The Seller shall immediately inform PRYNTIZ via the Messaging Service or by e-mail of any risk, particularly in terms of security, that a Product may generate.
The Seller undertakes not to offer for sale in his Sales Space the following types of Products:
When selling in France and the European Union, the Seller shall comply with different legislations, in particular regarding declarations, taxes (including VAT) and fees relating to different types of goods that he commercialises.
By selling a Product containing electronic components or a Battery Operated Product, the Seller is responsible for taking all necessary measures to comply with the applicable legislations, to report the Product sales, Product requiring a declaration, and to pay the associated taxes and fees.
In the event of a breach of one or more of these laws, following a warning from the relevant competent authority and/or a finding of a breach to inform the Buyer and/or a failure to include a fee or tax in the sale price in a Product Sheet, PRYNTIZ will send a warning, via the Messaging, to the Seller to update its Product Sheet and/or comply with the law.
If no correction is made within four (4) Business Days, PRYNTIZ may delete the Product Sheet concerned. In the event of a recurrence despite warnings from PRYNTIZ and/or the competent administrative authority, the Seller's Sales Space may be suspended.
PRYNTIZ is not responsible for verifying the content and conformity of each Product Sheet. However, if an administrative authority notifies PRYNTIZ or the Seller of a doubt or finding of non-compliance, the Seller shall make every effort to comply within four (4) Business Days. In the absence of compliance by the Seller within the afore mentioned period, his Sales Space may be suspended.
In order to assist Sellers in their compliance process, PRYNTIZ provides them with an explanatory leaflet presenting the various taxes and fees and the associated procedures. The Seller shall undertake to review this document and take the necessary steps to implement the recommendations and procedures described herein.
In accordance with Law No. 2014-856 of 31 July 2014 and Decree No. 2014-928 of 19 August 2014 on electrical waste and electronic equipment and used electrical and electronic equipment, each Product concerned must be collected and processed at the end of its life. The Seller shall undertake to comply with these legal and regulatory provisions.
In particular, the Seller shall include, in the sale price of the Product, the amount of the eco-tax, which varies according to the type of Product, the country in which it is put into circulation and the processing agency with which the Seller has contracted. This amount will be indicated as included in the price on the Product Sheet.
Sellers have the possibility to use WEEE EUROPE to facilitate administrative procedures (identification of applicable national regulations, contractualisation with local eco-organisations, single declaration of EEE to European eco-organisations) associated with the marketing of its subsidiaries in the Member States of the European Union.
Founded in 2016, WEEE EUROPE brings together 18 European eco-organisations in 17 countries: http://weee-europe.com/14-1-home.html
For more information, please contact Jorge Vicente, Membership Relations Manager at WEEE Europe (French speaking): j.vicente@weee-europe.com.
The Seller certifies having read the regulations applicable in his country.
PRYNTIZ provides Sellers with a document presenting its obligations regarding the eco-tax according to its situation as well as the eco-tax scale for France. The Seller certifies that he has read this document, the regulations applicable to him and undertakes to take the necessary steps to be able to sell his Product in accordance with the European regulations.
When selling a Product that contains data storage (USB key, CD, DVD, hard drive, tablet, phone ...) and that is billed or delivered in France, the Seller shall declare and pay the Private Copy Fee to the company COPIE FRANCE if he is the importer of the Product in France. In all cases, the Seller shall include this royalty in its selling price. This fee shall be indicated as included in the price on the relevant Product Sheets.
PRYNTIZ provides Sellers with a notice setting out their obligations regarding the private copy levy according to their situation as well as the scale of the fee due according to the storage capacity of the Product. The Seller certifies that he has read this document, the regulations applicable to him and shall undertake to take the necessary steps to be able to sell his Product in accordance with the French regulations regarding goods with data storage.
All additional information can be found on: https://www.copiefrance.fr/en/
The Seller, in his capacity as seller of the Product, handles all disputes relating to the goods he sells. He is responsible for the entire management of the relationship with the Buyer. Thus, the Seller is personally responsible for the resolution of any dispute with a Buyer.
Therefore, disputes are settled directly by the Seller, initially through a communication on the Messaging tool, unless contact is made by other means directly by the Buyer.
Please note that in case PRYNTIZ should be contacted by a Buyer for any dispute or claim concerning a Product, PRYNTIZ will ask the Buyer to contact the Seller via the Messaging tool and will transmit to the Seller such claims and / or disputes.
In the context of the dispute, the Seller undertakes to comply with the Seller Quality of Service Policy set out in Appendix 4.
The Seller, in his capacity as seller, is fully responsible for the after-sales service of the Product he sells.
Consequently, PRYNTIZ shall not be held under any obligation relating to the after-sales service of the Products sold by the Sellers. Please note that in case PRYNTIZ should be contacted by a Buyer for any request concerning the Product's after-sales service, PRYNTIZ will ask the Buyer to contact the Seller via the Messaging tool.
The Seller shall undertake to deliver or have delivered under his sole responsibility the Product ordered and paid by the Buyer.
In the absence of information provided by the Seller regarding the terms of delivery of the Product, the Seller agrees that the standard delivery terms pre-set on the Platform, based on the logistical families of the Product, shall apply by default.
The Seller shall undertake to comply with the delivery times, costs and terms and conditions indicated to the Buyer on the Platform, the shipping time being understood as starting on the date of validation of the Order by the Seller on the Platform and expiring on the date of dispatch of the product with the longest period.
PRYNTIZ offers the Seller a "Product Delivery Policy" (CF Appendix n°5). This document determines the terms of delivery that the Seller may offer. It is agreed that choices regarding the delivery of the Product are made by the Seller freely, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and apply to any sale of a Product made through the Platform. The Seller may choose the delivery service provider he wishes from a list drawn up by PRYNTIZ. If the service provider is not included in the list, PRYNTIZ may add it at the Seller's simple request, provided that he meets the delivery quality criteria set out on the Platform.
The delivery conditions as freely chosen by the Seller shall be brought to the attention of the Buyer and must be strictly respected.
The Seller shall inform PRYNTIZ of the shipment of each Product to a Buyer by updating, on his Seller Space, the status of the Order and by indicating the tracking number of the package or packages in the event of multiple shipments.
As part of a process of price transparency towards the Buyer and standardisation of the commercial offer on the Platform, the Seller is strongly encouraged to offer shipping costs for all his Orders, in accordance with the "Product Delivery Policy" in Appendix 5, in order to be eligible for the "PREMIUM" qualification.
The Seller shall undertake to consider PRYNTIZ's Quality of Service Policy (Appendix 4), to make every effort to comply with it, and therefore to implement all means in order to optimally meet his obligations by providing a quality service to the Buyers.
In order to best satisfy Buyers' Orders, the Seller undertakes in particular to check the Messaging tool regularly. In this respect, PRYNTIZ recommends that Sellers should check the Messaging tool on a daily basis.
The conditions for eligibility for the Premium designation and the criteria for automatic exclusion from the Platform are described in Appendix 3.
The Seller is solely responsible for the use of his username and password or for actions taken through his Seller Space.
In the event that a Seller discloses or uses his username and password in a manner contrary to their purpose, PRYNTIZ may then automatically suspend the Seller Space account without notice or compensation, which the Seller acknowledges and accepts.
Under no circumstances shall PRYNTIZ be held liable in the event of usurpation of a Seller's identity. Any access and action carried out from a Seller's account shall be presumed to be carried out by such Seller, insofar as PRYNTIZ is not under any obligation and does not have the technical means to ensure the identity of the persons having access to the Platform from an account.
Any loss, misappropriation or unauthorised use of a Seller's ID and password and their consequences are the sole responsibility of the User. In the event of theft, misappropriation or usurpation of identifiers, the Seller is required to notify PRYNTIZ without delay by e-mail to the following address: seller@pandacola.com with the following purpose: "Assistance - Identity theft".
The Seller shall allow the Buyer to obtain samples of Products from a Seller in order to be able to assess their quality and to subsequently place an Order for a greater quantity of Products from the same Seller.
The Sample Order will be stated as an option in the Sales Space, which the Buyer must select when placing his initial Sample Order. A Product ordered as a sample may be a Customisable Product, but will not be customised and must therefore be delivered without customisation to the Buyer. The Seller is notified of the initial Sample Order by a notification within his Seller Space.
The Buyer shall pay for the samples in the same way as for all other Products.
For a period of twelve (12) months following the Initial Sample Order, the Buyer may place a new Order with the same Seller and, if such Order is at least three (3) times the amount of the Initial Sample Order, the Buyer shall receive a reduction on his new order by an amount equivalent to that of the Sample Order.
The amount of the discount associated with the initial Sample Order is valid on all Products sold on the Seller's Sales Space, regardless of which Products were initially ordered. The discount is not valid in another Sales Space.
The Seller hereby agrees to grant a discount based on the amount of an initial Sample Order placed by the Buyer. This discount can be combined with other discounts and offers, limited to a maximum of 4 samples of the same Product regardless of its variants.
The Buyer shall make payment for his Order on the payment page of the Platform, managed by the payment service provider Webhelp Payment Services. Once the Order has been accepted by the Seller, the amounts are then deducted from the Buyer and deposited into an escrow account. The amounts deducted and sequestered will be remitted to the Seller, subject to the Buyer's proper receipt of the Products, confirmed by the status "received" of the Order in the Seller's Space and excluding incidents and disputes with the Buyer regarding the Product.
An Order is deemed to be in "received" status: (i) either, when the Buyer has expressly declared it as such on the Platform within twenty-one (21) days following the dispatch of the Product by the Seller; or (ii) at the end of a period of twenty-one (21) days following the dispatch of the Product by the Seller. An order with return and/or claim by the Buyer is not deemed to have been "received" but is said to be an "incident".
The initial price of a Product available on the Platform is freely determined by the Seller, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Prices will be communicated in Euros, excluding VAT, and must be indicated on the Product page of the Seller Space, all applicable taxes and contributions (VAT, eco-tax, Private Copy contribution, etc.). These taxes and contributions must be indicated by the Seller when importing his catalogue. The accuracy of the amounts and rates of these taxes is the responsibility of the Seller.
The price of a Non-Customisable Product is firm and non-negotiable for Buyers.
However, the Seller is entitled to change the price applicable to a Product at any time, in particular when launching a promotional campaign or during sales, subject to compliance with the regulations concerning price reductions.
The price of a Customisable Product is also firm and non-negotiable except in the following cases:
The conditions under which payment transactions resulting from Buyers' transactions on the Platform, in the relationship between PRYNTIZ and the Sellers, are governed by a Framework Agreement for Payment Services made available to the Seller at the same time as these GTCS, to which the Seller shall give his consent. This Agreement is done between PRYNTIZ, as agent of the Payment Service Provider, and the Seller.
The Seller may obtain information at any time about the amounts due to him via his Seller's Space.
Prior to the payment of the Products’ price to the Seller, the following amounts are deducted:
PRYNTIZ's compensation conditions are described in Appendix 2 "Financial Conditions". PRYNTIZ will receive from Sellers a commission set according to PRYNTIZ's detailed commission grid. This grid will be made available to the Seller after he created its Seller Space on the Platform.
As an option, Sellers may subscribe to optional services, the details of which are described in Appendix 2 and the conditions of use of which are detailed in Appendix 7.
In order to conform with the B2B buying habits of French companies, PRYNTIZ might offer to a Buyer a payment on due date for an Order made on the Sales Space of a Seller when the transaction can be guaranteed by a credit-insurance cover and when the Buyer’s analysis conducted by PRYNTIZ allows to apply this solution.
Therefore, the Seller accepts that the Buyer can pay his invoice on due date, only when the following conditions are met :
The Seller mandates PRYNTIZ to invoice, in its name and on its behalf, the price of any Product ordered on the Platform. This mandate is attached as Appendix 6.
The invoices for the Products will be issued and sent to the Buyer by PRYNTIZ in accordance with the legal provisions in force.
These GTCS shall take effect on the date of their signature and for an indefinite period.
Either Party may terminate them, without having to justify it, subject to six (6) months' written notice, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to the other Party's registered office.
However, if a partnership contract has been established and signed between the Parties, the Seller cannot terminate the GTCS and the Payment Services Framework Contract before the end of the partnership contract to which adds the prior written notice period of six (6) months after reception of its written notice.
In the event of a breach of these provisions or of the laws and regulations in force, as well as of a lack of cooperation and/or disloyalty, if there is an urgent need to stop the acts observed, PRYNTIZ may automatically suspend access to the Seller's Sales Space, without compensation to the Seller and without prior notice of default.
This decision shall be brought to the attention of the Seller on the Messaging, by e-mail and/or registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, indicating the alleged grievances as well as the obligations alleged to have been breached.
Automatic suspension criteria have also been put in place and are described in detail in Appendix 3.
As part of the termination provided for in Article 9 paragraph 2 above, the Parties agree that the Seller Space and the Sales Space shall be closed at the end of the notice period and all of the Seller's offers shall be removed from the Platform.
Any suspension of the Sales Space may lead to a termination of the Seller's registration if the Seller does not provide a satisfactory response to the grievances notified to it within seven (7) days following the first day of suspension of his Sales Space.
In the event of a serious breach of these Terms and Conditions, not of a particularly urgent nature (and therefore not leading to prior suspension), these Terms and Conditions, and therefore the Seller's registration, may be terminated by PRYNTIZ.
It is expressly agreed that this termination will take place automatically, seven (7) days after the sending of a formal notice to comply, which has remained ineffective. The formal notice, which shall imperatively indicate the complaints alleged and the obligations allegedly not complied with, shall be notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
The breaches qualified as "serious" include the following:
Any termination, resolution or cancellation of the GTCS automatically results in the discontinuation of the Seller's Product Catalogue, the closure of the Seller's Space as well as the cancellation of access to the various Services offered to the latter.
In any event, access to the Seller Space and the dedicated Sales Space may only be interrupted after the last Order in progress has been fully settled. It is finally specified that PRYNTIZ will then reserve the right to send back to the Seller any complaint initiated by a Buyer concerning one of its Orders placed and will keep the possibility of communicating by targeting its collaboration with the Seller for an additional period of six (6) months from the receipt of the termination letter.
In the event of termination by either Party and for any reason whatsoever, the Seller shall undertake to execute all orders placed before the effective term of termination, to comply with all his obligations and responsibilities towards the Buyers - in particular, his legal and/or commercial guarantees due in respect of after-sales service - and to pay any remaining amount still owed or to be owed to PRYNTIZ.
PRYNTIZ shall, upon prior estimate, return to the Seller all data, files and documents belonging to him contained in the Sales Space in a standard format within sixty (60) days. This commitment is subject to the Seller being up to date with his payments.
The additions and enrichments made by PRYNTIZ which are not attributable to the Seller, may be kept by PRYNTIZ. Thus, PRYNTIZ will only return the original data, such as provided by the Seller.
However, it is specified that, if the Seller has not expressed his willingness to obtain this return within two (2) months following the end of the GTCS, PRYNTIZ will have the possibility to destroy these data, files and documents, without the Seller being able to hold PRYNTIZ liable for the consequences of this destruction.
PRYNTIZ, in its capacity as intermediary, provides Sellers with tools allowing them to sell a Product to Buyers without being a party to the sale itself.
Consequently, PRYNTIZ may only be held liable for the facts for which it is responsible and which are parts of an expressed obligation set out herein.
Thus, PRYNTIZ's liability cannot be engaged:
The Seller is solely responsible for the information regarding itself and/or relating to the Product and the Product Sheets that he puts online on the Platform as well as for the execution of the sales contracts concluded with the Buyers and for the calculation, collection and possible payment of the applicable environmental taxes, fees and contributions.
The Seller is solely responsible for the commitments he makes to the Buyers in his Sales Space. In the event of a dispute, Buyers should be invited to contact the Seller directly via the Platform's Messaging System.
Thus, in no way PRYNTIZ shall be held liable in the event of copying, counterfeiting, imitation and generally any reproduction and representation of all or part of the data published on the Seller's Sales Space. The Seller shall hold PRYNTIZ harmless against any claim or action in this respect.
As a seller, the Seller is solely responsible for any damage that may be caused by a Product that he offers for sale on the Platform or for the content that he publishes on it. He is solely responsible for direct, indirect, material and immaterial damages caused to a Buyer et to any other third person by a Product. Consequently, the Seller warrants PRYNTIZ and shall indemnify PRYNTIZ, on first request, against any damage it may incur and against any liability action brought against it for the violation by the Seller of any right of a third party, including a Buyer, whether such damage results from the sale of a Product, the use made by the Seller of the Platform, or any other fact for which he may be responsible of.
The Seller undertakes to bear all costs, attorneys' and experts' fees and all damages to which PRYNTIZ may be sentenced in this context by court decision, without prejudice to any damages that PRYNTIZ may be required to claim from the Seller.
The Seller shall undertake to clearly specify, within his Seller Space in My Account>Settings>Shipping & Returns section, his terms of return of a Product.
The Seller acknowledges that a customisation that does not comply with the Seller's proof of artwork results in the defect of the Customised Product and is sufficient as proof for the opening of a dispute.
If a dispute remains unresolved, PRYNTIZ, in its capacity as a third party to the contract of sale of the Product, shall undertake not to intervene on its own account. PRYNTIZ may nevertheless act as mediator between the Seller and the Buyer in the event of the latter's agreement.
Should PRYNTIZ receive a complaint from a Buyer, it will be forwarded to the Seller.
In the event of a claim from a Buyer thus received by PRYNTIZ and transmitted to the Seller, or received directly by the Seller, the latter shall undertake to reply to the Buyer within a maximum of forty-eight (48) hours and to do everything possible to settle this conflict directly with the Buyer.
The Platform provides an evaluation system available to Buyers, which allows them to rate each Seller. The Seller acknowledges and accepts that this system is an essential feature of the Platform in the sense that it increases Buyers’ confidence in purchasing a Product on the Platform.
Therefore, the Seller agrees that evaluations concerning it may be publicly disclosed by Buyers. The evaluations focus on the quality of execution of the services offered by the Seller. Ratings result in stars scaled from 1 to 5. The Seller's overall rating on the Platform is calculated from the evaluations published by the Buyers.
This system also allows to highlight the best Sellers, known as "Premium Sellers", who meet the criteria set out in Appendix 3, while preserving the Buyers from Sellers with a too low level of service quality.
The general criteria used to evaluate Sellers are as follows:
As part of the Services, PRYNTIZ collects and processes personal data, in particular during the verification of the documents necessary for the Seller's registration and the opening of his Seller's Space. This data is processed only to:
The Seller may collect and process the personal data of the Platform’s Buyers, in particular via his Sales Space. As such, he guarantees that he processes these data in compliance with the rights and obligations under the above-mentioned law "Informatique et Libertés".
The Seller shall be responsible for the processing of the personal data of Buyers placing Orders via the Platform. The purposes of the processing operations concerned are the management of Orders, the invoicing and the customer relations. For these processing operations, PRYNTIZ shall have the status of Subcontractor within the meaning of the law of 6 January 1978 and Article 28 of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (hereinafter "GDPR").
Within the framework of this purpose, it is expressly agreed between the Parties that PRYNTIZ shall not process the data concerned for any other purpose. PRYNTIZ shall take all necessary measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal data entrusted to it, in particular by adopting appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security, as well as by ensuring that the persons responsible for processing them undertake to respect their confidentiality. In addition, PRYNTIZ shall undertake to assist the Seller in the implementation of his obligations, within the limits set out in the GDPR.
PRYNTIZ shall be considered as the sole responsible for the processing of the Buyers' personal data when it processes their personal data for the following purposes:
In the context of the execution of the GTCS, PRYNTIZ collects and processes personal data concerning Sellers.
The purpose of this processing is to create and manage the Seller Account.
In accordance with the legislation in force, the Seller has a right of access, rectification, deletion, opposition, limitation, portability and definition of the use of the data after death.
To exercise the above, the Seller may send a letter to PRYNTIZ's Platform Service:
PRYNTIZ SAS, Biocluster des Haras, 23 rue des glacières, 67000 Strasbourg
or an e-mail to seller@pandacola.com, with proof of identity.
For more information about PRYNTIZ's processing of Sellers' personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Each Party shall use the Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, only for the strict execution of these GTCS.
Any well-founded disclosure may engage the responsibility of its author, regardless of the cause of the disclosure.
The confidentiality obligations set out in this clause do not apply to all or any part of the Confidential Information to the extent that:
The Seller authorizes PRYNTIZ to use brands, drawings and models, corporate names, commercial names, domain names, logos, pictures, images and photos and more generally every intellectual rights attached to the Seller and its Products communicated to PRYNTIZ with the exclusive goals of displaying the Products’ and Seller’s information on the Platform and of promoting the Seller and its Products on the different PRYNTIZ medias and websites (Platform, blog, social networks…)
By “use”, it is being understood, in particular, the reproduction, adaptation and representation rights on any support, included the Internet. PRYNTIZ can consequently reproduce, represent and adapt those images, photos, logos, pictures, brands, drawings and models, corporate names, social names and domain names via the Internet and via any present or future process of communication to the public, in the respect of their initial appearance. However, for material reasons of adaptations to certain mediums and formats, the Seller authorises PRYNTIZ to realise the design adaptations required for those mediums and formats.
The authorisation is valid during the validity of the GTCS and during the six (6)
months' written notice and more generally as long as the Seller’s Sales Space is accessible by Buyers on the Platform.
The Seller declares and guarantees to PRYNTIZ :
These GTCS are governed by the French law.
In the event of a dispute between the Parties, they shall, as far as possible, reach an amicable agreement. In the absence of such, the courts within the jurisdiction of the Strasbourg Court of Appeal shall have exclusive jurisdiction, even in the event of multiple defendants, warranty claims, emergency proceedings or motions.
Any draft amendment to the GTCS shall be communicated to the Seller on a durable medium no later than fifteen (15) days before the proposed date of application for its entry into force.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to PRYNTIZ by the Seller before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the latter is deemed to have accepted these amendments. In the event of refusal of the suggested amendment, PRYNTIZ may terminate the GTCS free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the suggested amendment.
Each of the Parties to these GTCS is independent of each other. The Parties shall act in their own names and undertake to conduct their activities hereunder as independent Sellers.
The Seller shall not assign any of its rights, obligations or benefits under these GTCS in any way without PRYNTIZ's prior written consent.
None of the Parties shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance hereunder due to the occurrence of an external, unforeseeable and irresistible event recognized as a case of force majeure within the meaning of French law and jurisprudence.
Under these GTCS, in particular, the following shall be recognised in the broadest sense as cases of force majeure: acts of war, natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, weather conditions, embargoes, riots, epidemics, acts of terrorism and equipment and network failures.
Any clause of these GTCS which may be declared null and void or unlawful by a judge shall be interpreted in such a way as to best serve the objectives of the original clause to the fullest extent permitted by law.
In any event, any clause of these GTCS which may be declared null and void or unlawful by a court of law shall not affect the other provisions or affect the validity of these GTCS as a whole or their legal effects.
The French version of the GTCS prevails over the English version in case of any discrepancy.
The Seller authorises PRYNTIZ to identify it as a user of the Platform, in press releases issued by PRYNTIZ and in any other promotional document (Emailing, paper supports, goodies...).
In order to create the Seller's dedicated escrow account, Webhelp Payment Services requires specific documents.
The Seller as a professional must send PRYNTIZ either by e-mail, or by electronic transmission or by uploading to PRYNTIZ's computer systems accessible in the Seller Space:
Note : 1-In France : Kbis less than three months old / 2-In France : NIC, Passport, residence permit / 3-In France : Kbis less than three months old
PRYNTIZ mandates WEBHELP via its Webhelp Payment Services to temporarily collect the Seller's Orders on an escrow account dedicated to the Seller and PRYNTIZ's commission. PRYNTIZ does not at any time cash the entire price of the Products.
PRYNTIZ will receive from the Seller commissions on turnover excluding VAT and delivery costs.
PRYNTIZ will receive from the Seller a commission excluding taxes that is calculated on the basis of the Seller's turnover on the Platform including delivery and commissioning costs. This commission varies according to the category of Product sold, in accordance with the detailed commissions grid.
The detailed commissions grid applicable by category is made available to the Seller In its shared folder.
Upon signing these GTCS, the Seller acknowledges that he has read them and accepts them without reservation.
Orders are eligible for payment to the Seller as soon as the Buyer has confirmed receipt of the ordered Product or automatically 21 days after shipment by the Seller to the Buyer's address. Commissions are paid by offsetting at the end of each decade on the 5th, 15th and 25th of the month.
Webhelp Payment Services will refund to the Seller the total amount of the Seller's turnover including VAT, based on the Orders eligible for payment for the period under the conditions described above, including delivery charges, deducted from commissions that are paid to PRYNTIZ.
Commissions are considered to be due to PRYNTIZ as soon as the Order is accepted by the Seller.
An invoice is issued at the end of each month to recap the amount of the commissions charged and the additional services.
PRYNTIZ offers the Seller additional services, invoiced in addition to the subscription listed, detailed and priced below. The conditions of use are described in Appendix 7:
PRYNTIZ edits and sends the invoice to the Buyer instead of the Seller. The Seller undertakes not to send an invoice to the Buyer and mandates PRYNTIZ to send any form of invoice to the Buyer. Billing information is processed by WEBHELP and the invoice sent by PRYNTIZ to the Buyer by e-mail. The Seller undertakes to take note of the Mandate in the Appendix. Acceptance of these GTCS constitutes full acceptance of the Invoicing Mandate (Appendix 6).

The Seller undertakes to implement, in good faith, all necessary means to fulfil his obligations by delivering a quality service to the Buyers.
Quality of service related to the delivery of the Product:
The Seller is free to determine the price he wishes for the delivery of a Product, regardless of the country or mode of transport chosen by the Buyer. He can set up each tariff for each country in his Seller Space. However, it is strongly recommended to use at least one flat transport rate for each mode of delivery, clearly communicated to the Buyer. Given the high volumes of goods ordered, it is not advisable to charge a surcharge based on the number of Products ordered or by weight.
As part of a quality approach, transparency of prices towards the Buyer and standardisation of the commercial offer on the Platform, the Seller is strongly encouraged to practice the shipping free of charge, namely the Seller's coverage of all delivery costs, on all his Orders delivered in Metropolitan France, or the integration of these costs in the selling price of the products.
The practice of free shipping reflects a real concern to provide a clear and unsurprising offer to Buyers in order to facilitate their order taking.
It is in this context, and in order to encourage Sellers to integrate this practice of tariff simplification, that the practice of shipping free of charge is one of the mandatory criteria to be eligible for the category of Premium Seller set out in Appendix 3.
The Seller shall communicate:
In order to be able to best meet the Buyer's needs, particularly in the context of short deadlines, the Seller is encouraged to offer an EXPRESS delivery method.
This delivery method must offer a delivery time significantly shorter than the delivery time stipulated above, whether through a compression of the shipping time or the delivery time. The Seller may freely determine the method and amount of invoicing for this delivery method. However, for the sake of tariff simplification, it is recommended to offer a flat-rate billing.
The Seller is required to respect the delivery method chosen by the Buyer at the time of his Order and must do everything possible to respect the delivery time indicated on the Order confirmation sent to the Buyer.
The Seller undertakes to provide an online tracking link of the status of the Order to the Buyer via the Seller Space as soon as possible and at the latest within 24 hours of the Order being shipped.
The Buyer has twenty-one (21) days to confirm the receipt of the ordered Product.
Beyond this period and in the absence of any dispute, the Product will be considered as accepted by the Buyer.
The Product remains the property of the Seller until it is received by the Buyer.
In case of deterioration of the parcels or delivery incidents (delays, incorrect delivery address, unknown address...) PRYNTIZ shall in no case be held responsible by the Seller or the Buyer. In the event of incidents related to delivery, if the Buyer contacts PRYNTIZ, PRYNTIZ will transfer the request to the Seller who will have to deal with the resolution of this dispute.
In the case of delivery to overseas departments and regions and local authorities, PRYNTIZ suggests that the choice of freight forwarder, the procedures related to delivery and customs fees should be charged to the Buyer. The Seller shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions and shall be responsible for integrating all necessary documents (invoice, freight forwarder management, etc.). In the case of a delivery in a country outside the European Union, the formalities related to the delivery and customs fees may be the responsibility of the Buyer.
The Seller may propose, within his Seller Space, a return policy for products within the time limits and under the conditions of his choice.
As a reminder, the Platform connects Sellers with non-consumer Buyers. Consequently, the provisions of the Consumer Code do not apply and it is up to each Seller to decide whether to propose a return policy for his own Products, under his sole responsibility.
