§ 2 Use of the Application and Website

2.1 The terms and conditions of the Apple Store or Google Play Store that you have agreed or will agree to with their respective providers also apply to the use of the Application.

2.2 We strive to ensure continuous and uninterrupted accessibility and performance of our Application and Website. However, we assume no responsibility for their continuous and uninterrupted accessibility or availability. Flink reserves the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Platforms for maintenance or updating purposes.

It is strictly prohibited: (i) any behaviour likely to interrupt, suspend, slow down or prevent the proper functioning of the Application/Website, (ii) any intrusions or attempted intrusions into Flink's systems, (iii) any misappropriation of the Application/Website's system resources, (iv) any actions likely to impose a disproportionate burden on the latter's infrastructure, (v) any attack on the security and authentication measures, (vi) any acts likely to damage the rights and financial, commercial or moral interests of Flink or the users of its Application/Website, (vii) any practice diverting the Application/Website to ends other than those for which it was conceived and finally more generally (viii) any failure with the present CGV or the laws and regulations in force.

2.3 We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently block the use of the Application/Website by a Customer for legitimate reasons. During the blocking peri-od, we are entitled to refuse the orders placed by the Customer and/or to refuse to execute them. The following in particular constitute legitimate reasons:

2.3.1 repeated refusal by the Customer to accept deliveries without justification or is not available upon time of delivery;

2.3.2 Customer's behaviour towards our employees that constitutes a violation of the legal provisions in force or is socially and ethically unacceptable;

2.3.3 the violation by the Customer of essential obligations of these T&C.

§ 3 User accounts

3.1 Insofar as the registration of a user account is necessary for the use of our services, the Customer is obliged to provide truthful personal information (name, e-mail address, telephone number) when registering. The Customer shall keep the registered information up to date at all times. We reserve the right to delete multiple registrations.

3.2 The Customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to his/her user account. Customer is responsible for all activities originating from its user account, unless the unauthorized access occurs through no fault of its own. Customer must notify us of any unauthorized access immediately upon learning of it.

§ 4 Conclusion of the contract, quantity limitations

4.1 When entering the delivery address in the Application or on the Website, you can see whether the desired delivery address is located in one of our delivery areas, and if our stores are currently open for ordering. If this is not (yet) the case, an order is not possible.

4.2 The presentation of articles on the Application/Website does not constitute a binding offer, but only an invitation for the Customer to make a selection of goods and to submit a purchase offer to us. The addition of products to the shopping cart does not result in the conclusion of a sales contract between the Customer and Flink.

4.3 By sending the order via the Application/Website by clicking on the "Buy Now" button (or a corresponding button clearly designed for this purpose), the Customer submits a binding offer for the goods placed in the shopping cart at the indicated price. In the App / on the Website you'll find the current minimum order value.

4.4 Once the order has been placed, a legally binding contract is concluded when the order is accepted by us, i.e. when the order confirmation and/or when the Customer is automatically asked to select the desired payment method. If the delivery of the ordered items has become impossible at the time of the order confirmation, for example because the desired goods are no longer in stock, no order confirmation will be sent to the Customer and/or the Customer will not access the selection of the payment method. In this case, no contract will be concluded, and the Customer will be informed immediately.

We would like to point out that we do not sell or deliver to minors any goods that are subject to the provisions on the protection of minors and public health (e.g. tobacco products, alcoholic beverages etc.). For this reason, we ask the customer to confirm that he/she has reached the age of majority with every order for such goods. We refuse all offers from minors to purchase such products. In addition, the provisions of articles § 5.4 and §17 apply.

4.5 If, in exceptional circumstances, the delivery of goods which the Customer has bindingly ordered in accordance with §4.4 is not possible, for example due to the lack of availability of individual items or due to unforeseen capacity shortages we shall inform the Customer immediately after becoming aware of this circumstance. In this case, we will refund the purchase price already paid for the items concerned by the payment method originally used.

4.6 We reserve the right to limit the quantities of products supplied to you. When adding a larger quantity to the shopping cart, the Customer will receive a notice informing him/her of the quantity limit applying to a specific item. Even in the absence of such a quantity limit indication, we only deliver quantities and selections of products that remain within the scope of normal household consumption. We reserve the right to reduce the quantity of items selected by the Customer if it exceeds normal household quantities.

§ 5 Delivery address, delivery

5.1 Delivery shall be made as soon as the order has been placed and shall be provided by Flink or by.a company affiliated with Flink (within the meaning of the Commercial Code) (“Affiliated Company”). In the event of subsequent performance, delivery periods shall be agreed separately with the customer. We shall be entitled to make partial deliveries if this is reasonable for the customer.

5.2 By submitting the order, the Customer declares that his personal information and the delivery address provided are correct. The Customer is solely responsible for providing a complete, correct and accurate delivery address. If necessary, he/she must add additional information (floor, apartment, etc.) or additional instructions necessary for the delivery.

5.3 The Customer and/or a person designated by the Customer must be present at the specified delivery address upon delivery. In addition, Customer must be available for questions regarding the delivery address at the telephone number provided by Customer during the ordering process. If the Customer and/or the person designated by the Customer is not at the delivery address and the Customer cannot be reached at the telephone number provided by the Customer, we are depending on its content, entitled to drop off the order at the deliveryaddress (e.g. in front of apartment door) at the risk of the Customer. Alternatively, the order will be cancelled by Flink within the scope of the legal requirements and the full order price shall be charged to Customer.

5.4 Goods that are subject to protection of minors and public health regulations (e.g. tobacco products, alcoholic beverages) will deviating from the delivery process described above only be handed over in person to the Customer and only to customers who have reached the age of 18. These goods will not be handed over to third parties or to customers under the age of 18. For this purpose, we are entitled to demand that an identity card or a comparable official document with a photo (passport, driver's license, etc.) be presented to the delivery person upon delivery. In addition, the customer must confirm that he/she is of age during the order process (see § 4.5 (2) above). If the goods cannot be delivered due to insufficient age verification and/or insufficient personal identification at the delivery address, the additional costs of returning the order shall be borne by the Customer.

§ 6 Contacless delivery, Click&Collect

6.1 Unless otherwise specified in the order process delivery shall be made by personal handover of the goods at the delivery address selected by the Customer during the order process. If desired and at the risk of the Customer, the delivery can also be made contactless by leaving the goods at the specified delivery address (for example, in front of the apartment door). We point out that a contactless delivery of goods, which are subject to the youth protection regulations, is excluded and can be refused by Flink in individual cases (e.g. regarding high-priced articles).

6.2 In addition, we may offer our customers at some of our locations the option to pick up goods ordered in advance or on site by themselves (“Click&Collect”). Ordered goods must be picked up within one hour after ordering at the pickup address provided in the ordering process. Please allow a few minutes on site, as we will prepare your order on time as soon as you arrive at the pickup address. The time slots offered for Click&Collect may differ from opening hours. Please note that Click&Collect is not available at all locations.

The current total value of the shopping cart is shown to the Customer at any time in the shopping cart or in the order summary.

8.2 The delivery charges indicated separately apply to delivery in France and are clearly communicated to the Customer before the submission of his final offer of purchase.

8.3 The Customer may voluntarily leave a tip to the drivers of Flink or the drivers of the Affiliated companies . The tip is intended exclusively for the delivery person and cannot be considered as a payment for the ordered goods. Furthermore, we would like to point out that tips given in cash by Customers belong to the delivery personnel concerned. The same applies if tips are given by the Customer via a function of our Application/Website : they will be allocated to the drivers who are employed by Flink or an Affiliated Companys. Flink will take the necessary steps to ensure that the amount is paid to the respective driver.

§ 9 Payment, due date

The combination of several Vouchers and other discounts is not permitted.

11.3 Each Voucher can only be used once by the Customer. This applies, in particular, to any new customers discounts. The use and/or redemption of a Voucher addressed to new customers may be refused by us and a discount already granted may be revoked if the customer places an allegedly first order using payment details, personal details and/or a delivery address that are identical or virtually identical to details already known to us, or using a device already registered in our system.

11.4 The respective Vouchers are granted free of charge by Flink. A resale of Vouchers or any other paid distribution of Vouchers by the Customer is prohibited. The same applies to use for commercial purposes, in particular use for promotions such as online advertising, public dissemination on websites in which the Customer participates without being the main content owner (such as Wikipedia, Reddit, voucher sites, etc.) as well as publication on blogs and websites primarily intended to promote prizes or make them accessible to a large number of people. Furthermore, it is not permitted to distribute the Vouchers by means of mass e-mails, messages to persons unknown to the Customer or automated systems or bots.
