All orders, whatever their origin, are billed and payable in Euros only.

Article 4: Availability of items

Our items on sale on the site are offered within the limits of stocks.

Although our databases are regularly updated, some articles may be temporarily (out of stock) or permanently unavailable (sold out / Museum).

One or more items may become unavailable after the order, and some are offered in limited numbers or in a single copy. In case of unavailability independent of our will, LE MANS miniatures will notify personally as soon as possible the customer either by mail or by e-mail.

If the product you order is only available late and within the limit of 21 days from receipt of the order by our services, we undertake to inform you immediately of the additional delivery time.

If the resupply of the product is abnormally long or impossible, we undertake to replace the ordered article with an article offering the same performance and whose value is equal to or greater than that of the original product.

If you choose to pay by cheque or bank transfer, the order will only be processed upon receipt of your payment and the shipping and processing times of your order are extended accordingly.

For deliveries outside metropolitan France, the ordered items are imported into the country of destination by and under the responsibility of the customer.

Article 6: Payment

Orders placed on the website www.gts-series.com are payable by default by credit card such as Carte Bleue, Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard (directly from the website).

You pay with complete peace of mind at the end of your order on our secure interface.

Payments by credit card on the site benefit by default from the secure payment service 3D Secure. It is a program initiated by international issuers Visa (Verified by Visa) and MasterCard (MasterCard Secure code) to enhance the security of online payments.

The principle is to put in place an additional control during an online purchase during which the buyer will validate his payment by indicating a secret data conforming to what his bank will have indicated to him.

These iconsat the bottom of the page indicate that you are on a secure part of the website.

When you pay by card, you indicate:

Your card number, the validity date, the number on the back of your card + a secret code issued by your bank at the time of your order, to be entered to complete the transaction. This secret code can be transmitted to you, according to what you have agreed with your bank, either by email, by SMS, or by referring to a grid of codes that will have given you your bank.

Authorization servers are then consulted, in order to verify this data and avoid abuse and fraud. The servers are then in encrypted mode and all the information transmitted is encoded (SSL encryption).

No information passes through the web in clear language.

The amount of orders paid by credit card is cashed on the day of shipment of the order (only the delivered products are invoiced). In the case of multi-item orders, the entire order amount is cashed on the day the first item is shipped.

The customer may also decide to communicate the information of his credit card by telephone or by mail or e-mail at the time of his order. In this case, it is no longer a secure transaction.

You can choose to pay by Paypal under the same security conditions as before without disclosing your financial information during the transaction. You can choose to pay by bank check. In this case, you only need to print or copy the Internet page that contains your entire order and your contact details and send it to us by mail at the following address with your payment by check, compensable in France, denominated in Euros to the order of LE MANS miniatures:

LE MANS miniatures
Lieu-dit La Madère
72330 Yvré-le-Pôlin.

After a collection period of 10 working days from the day of receipt of your mail, we will send you your goods together with the invoice.

You can also choose to pay by bank transfer. This payment process is faster than by check (allow 3 working days to obtain the agreement of the bank against 10 working days of delays of cashing in the case of the check) and allows to receive your order more quickly. LE MANS miniatures reserves the right to request a bank transfer on orders containing products identified as sensitive, atypical orders, and large amounts.
