They express the entire obligations of the parties. The customer is deemed to have accepted them unreservedly or else his order will not be confirmed.
When in doubt about any terms of sale, normal practice in the area of distance selling by companies having their head offices in France and the French Consumer Code apply.
ARTICLE 1. ONLINE STORE
Via the website, GOTO GAMES provides the customer with an online store presenting the products on sale accurately.
Prices and taxes associated with the sale of products are indicated in the online store.
The technical requirements necessary to make the best use of the products are also brought to the customer’s notice. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the product meets his needs but also that his equipment, configurations and connection are compatible.

Our customer service can be contacted via the contact page of the website.
ARTICLE 2. PRICE
GOTO GAMES reserves the right to change prices at any time and publish them on the website.
Only prices provided when placing the order shall apply.
Prices are inclusive of all taxes and given in Euros (€).
Prices include applicable taxes on the date the order is placed and any change in the rate will automatically be reflected in the price of the products in the online store. Should one or more taxes or contributions be imposed or modified, whether upwards or downwards, this change may be reflected in the selling price of the products.
The total amount of the order (all taxes included) is shown before final confirmation of the order by the customer.
Payment must be made in full at the time of placing the order.
Prices are per single personal license for the customer.
ARTICLE 3. ONLINE ORDER
After clicking ‘Store’, to order one or several products, the customer selects his country and currency. Upon confirmation of the offer, he will thus be able to check the price excluding VAT, the desired quantity and the applicable VAT. Upon confirmation of the offer selected, the customer will be requested to enter his geographical location. Thereafter the customer will be requested to enter his postal address. GOTO GAMES recalls that the customer is solely responsible for the information he provides. The customer therefore undertakes to provide accurate information. GOTO GAMES cannot be held liable for any delay in delivery or failure to deliver in case the customer provides false information, whether deliberately or not.

ARTICLE 4. PAYMENT AND ORDER CONFIRMATION
This is an order with a payment obligation, which means that placing the order implies payment by the customer.
4.1 PAYMENT
The customer makes the payment upon final confirmation of the order by entering his credit card number.
The customer guarantees GOTO GAMES that he has the necessary authorizations to use this payment method and acknowledges that the information provided for that purpose is proof of his consent to the sale as well as the payability of the sums due for the order and its renewal if need be.
It shall be stated that GOTO GAMES has subscribed to a distance selling contract with its bank. Bank transactions are secured and GOTO GAMES does not keep in any way the customer’s bank details.
GOTO GAMES has established a procedure for checking orders and payment methods to reasonably protect itself from any fraudulent use of a payment method, which includes asking the customer to log in.
In case payment authorization by credit card is refused by accredited bodies or in case of non-payment, GOTO GAMES reserves the right to suspend or cancel the order.
GOTO GAMES also reserves the right to refuse an order placed by a buyer who has not paid a previous order, completely or partially, or with whom a payment dispute is in progress.
Under Article L.132-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code, the commitment to pay given via a card is irrevocable. By providing his bank details upon purchase, the customer authorizes GOTO GAMES to charge the amount corresponding to the price shown to his card. The customer confirms that he is indeed the legal holder of the card to charge and that he has a legal right to use it. In the event of an error or if the company is unable to charge the card, the sale and the order will immediately be cancelled as of right.
Any claim not made in compliance with the above procedure and within the stated periods of time will not be considered and GOTO GAMES will not accept any responsibility.
