2. Products

The products are described and presented with the highest degree of accuracy possible. However, the photographs and graphic representations displayed on our sales media (catalogues, website) are for information and guidance only and are not contractual.

Therefore, the liability of WESCO cannot be incurred in the event of an error.

WESCO made-to-measure mats
WESCO made-to-measure mats are customisable according to the customer's request. These personalised products are excluded from the provisions relating to the right of withdrawal (article L221-28 of the Consumer Code). They are neither retaliatory nor exchanged, except in the case of the implication of the guarantee of hidden defects affecting the chosen sold.
By submitting to WESCO the customisation of the mat (model, colours, dimensions, rounded or reinforced angles, velcro strips), the customer undertakes to verify the accuracy of the desired characteristics before confirming their order.

3. Prices

Our selling prices are guaranteed for the period of time during which each of our catalogues and sales documents are valid, or during the period stated on each promotional offer. The selling prices of products on our website are those displayed when the order is taken. If, for economic reasons, notably in the event of raw material price increase, certain prices are changed before the catalogue validity period ends, the client will be informed of the change at the time of ordering.

Referent prices are displayed including and excluding all taxes (VAT is at the rate 23% applicable on the date our catalogue is printed) Prices and taxes are only valid for Ireland.

If one or more taxes or contributions are introduced or modified, these changes may be applied to the sales price of the products shown in the catalogue and the various sales media. In this case, the client will be informed beforehand.

Discounts negotiated with Wesco in connection with calls for tenders or business agreements are not applicable to prices that have already been discounted (kits, “maxi-lots”, products undergoing stock clearance) or delivery solutions. For articles displaying a price that has already been discounted, the discount applies to the original price (crossed out prices).

Orders placed by telephone and confirmed by payment also imply full acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.

Orders are fulfilled within the limits of available stocks, and for products not stored in our warehouses, contingent on availability from our supplier.

These conditions automatically apply whenever the client accepts a purchase voucher offered by our websites. These conditions may be edited by WESCO at any time without prior notice. Changes only apply to purchase vouchers issued subsequently to these changes.

During the events held by WESCO or those held by other companies, WESCO may freely distribute purchase vouchers to its website visitors, whether they purchase goods or not, to all comers or to those belonging to certain categories. These vouchers entitle their holders to a price discount on future purchases either in absolute value or in a percentage of the price of the future purchase.

- The validity of a purchase voucher can be checked in the client area or on the shopping cart page.
- The specific terms and conditions of purchase voucher use are specified when they are issued.

12. Liability

WESCO has a performance obligation for the order-taking process and the stages subsequent to concluding the sales contract.

However, our liability is not incurred if the nonperformance of our obligations is attributable to the unforeseeable or insurmountable fault of a third party or a force majeure event as defined in French case law and article 13 below.

Likewise, our liability cannot be incurred for any loss or damage relating to Internet usage, including interruption of service, outside intrusion or computer viruses.
We decline any liability for damage or accidents resulting from incorrect use of a product.

Force majeure events, in addition to those usually asserted Irish case law, include total or partial strikes internal or external to WESCO, transport or supply blockades for any reason whatsoever, government or legal restrictions, computer breakdown, telecommunications blockades including networks, and the Internet in particular.
The occurrence of a force majeur event will automatically suspend order fulfilment.

If, after a period of 3 months, the parties observe that the force majeur event prevails, the order will be automatically cancelled except if the parties agree otherwise.

14. Warranties

You may benefit from the contractual warranty described in this section and, of course, from the latent defect warranty pursuant to articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code.

The products we sell are covered by a 1-year minimum contractual warranty allowing clients to return defective products or products not fit for their intended use. Many of our products are covered by longer warranties. Coverage periods and extension options are specified in each product description in our catalogues and commercial websites.

Contractual warranties do not cover: abnormal or non-compliant use of the product with regard to its specifications, normal wear and tear and external material incidents. Here are some instances: normal wear and tear to parts (bicycle wheels, etc.) or textiles subjected to frequent washing (bibs, cloths, etc.), consumables (batteries, stationery, etc.), incorrect use or maintenance (such as failure to comply with the user manual), external causes (water damage, vandalism, etc.), damage due to incorrect repair by the client and special items with an expiry date specified at the time of ordering.

For the entire duration of the contractual warranty, a product that does not function correctly due to a material or manufacturing defect will be repaired or replaced by a product with similar features based on the value of the product and the magnitude of the defect (product replacement or repair at WESCO’s choice if one option involves a cost obviously out of proportion to the other option based on the value of the item or the scope of the defect).
If we are unable to send you a new or repaired product within 20 days after receiving your return, your product downtime will be added to the contractual warranty period except if the product you have returned does not fall within the scope of the contractual warranty.

Outside the warranty period: for all repair requests, return shipping charges are at the client’s expense. Spare parts, wear parts and repaired parts may be invoiced to the client.

An appropriate quote will be immediately issued by our staff on request from the client.
You also benefit from the statutory latent defect warranty pursuant to articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code.
Pursuant to articles 1641 and 1648, subsection 1 of the civil code, A seller is bound to a warranty on account of the latent defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he known of them.
The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the buyer within a period of two years following the discovery of the defect.

15. After-sales service

Furniture and other voluminous items may only be returned with the prior agreement of WESCO. Products returned for an exchange or refund must be intact and in their original packaging.
