To place an order, the customer must identify themselves by entering their email address and password.

3.3 Order Processing Stages

Each product offered on the website has a product sheet, photos, price details, and the main technical characteristics. The customer is solely responsible for selecting and using the products. The customer can request additional information about the product's features and its use from i-Run.

The customer can place an order by selecting the products available on the i-Run website, adding them to their cart, and clicking the "Order" button. The customer can view their cart at any time before completing the order and modify it by clicking the "My Cart" button. To place an order, the customer must be identified and registered on the i-Run website.

After the customer has selected the products they wish to purchase, reviewed the content of their order, and accepted the General Terms and Conditions, they can finalize their order by clicking the "Order" button. Subsequently, the necessary payment information must be entered.

The confirmation of the order is considered final and binding for the parties only after the customer has paid the price for the order and i-Run has confirmed the order. Once the customer confirms the order, i-Run sends a confirmation email to the email address provided by the customer. The confirmation email includes a summary of all information about their order (ordered products, order value, delivery address) and represents the purchase contract between the parties. Until proven otherwise, all information collected by i-Run, marked simultaneously in the confirmation email, constitutes evidence of the order and its details (type of order, content, price, and date). To prevent fraud, i-Run reserves the right to request all documents from the customer necessary to verify their personal data and/or payment methods.

In accordance with Law No. 2004-801 of August 6, 2004, on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and amending Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, on data processing, files, and freedoms, the customer can exercise their rights of access, rectification, objection, and deletion of information concerning them by notifying i-Run at the following address: i-Run 101 Avenue de l'Europe, Eurocentre / Bat A - Cellule 3 31620 Castelnau d'Estretefonds, France

i-Run reserves the right to change its prices at any time and without prior notice. Changes in taxes, levies, or contributions may affect i-Run's sales prices and alter them.

The price invoiced to and payable by the customer is the one marked on the day of the final confirmation of the order.

6.PAYMENT

6.1 Total Amount

The total amount to be paid by the customer is indicated before the order confirmation in the order overview and in the confirmation email sent to the customer.

6.2 Payment Methods

The customer can pay for their orders using credit or debit cards (Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Eurocard), and PayPal. Other payment methods not mentioned in these General Terms and Conditions are not accepted. An order is shipped upon receipt of payment. The payment of each customer is transmitted to i-Run's bank located in France. I-Run reserves the right to request proof of identity and proof of residence from its customers to confirm their payment, especially in the case of installment payments. According to Article 5, paragraph 1 (c and e) of the GDPR, all data contained in an ID card shall not be stored for longer than necessary. They must be deleted immediately upon the fulfillment of the purpose. An exception is the storage for the purpose of personal identification for merchants. According to § 8 paragraph 2 of the GWG (Money Laundering Act), the necessary identification of the actors involved in a transaction is possible, among other things, by presenting the ID card. The payment process is protected by the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption system, an encrypted system that encrypts your confidential data and transmits it directly to the Crédit Mutuel bank so that it cannot be intercepted by third parties. In accordance with current legislation, i-Run does not store customers' bank data. It is the customer's responsibility to save and print the payment receipt if they wish to retain the transaction details.

6.3 Payment Options: Installments at No Extra Cost

i-Run offers its customers the opportunity to pay for their purchases in 2 or 3 interest-free installments. For a purchase amount of 100 euros, the customer can choose to pay in 2 interest-free installments. With this payment option, the first half of the order value is debited from their payment method on the day of the order, and the second half is debited on the same date of the following month. For purchases of 200 euros or more, the customer can opt for payment in 3 interest-free installments. The first third of the order value is debited from their payment method on the day of the order, and the remaining two-thirds are debited on the same date of the subsequent 2 months. If the customer's bank refuses the payment, i-Run reserves the right to suspend the execution and delivery of the order at any time. This suspension remains in effect until the full payment of the amounts owed by the customer. In cases where disputes have arisen between the customer and i-Run regarding the return or payment of previous orders, i-Run reserves the right to reject or cancel any order from that customer. i-Run generally requests proof of identity or residence from its customers for installment payments.

6.5 Retention of Title

Until the customer fully pays for an order, i-Run remains the unconditional owner of the ordered products.

Additional customs fees arising upon import are the responsibility of the buyer. The amount of customs fees depends on the ordered product and the current regulations of the customs authority.

7.2 Delivery Methods and Times

The seller undertakes to process orders within 24 hours on working days. All purchases made before 14:00 will be handed over to the shipping service on the same day. Purchases made after 14:00, on weekends, or holidays will be handed over to the shipping service on the next working day.

Delivery is carried out by the international shipping service Chronopost / DPD to the customer's address or the delivery address specified by the customer when placing the order. Permission to leave: If the recipient allows a delivery service to leave parcels at a preferred location, the risk of loss and theft is transferred to the recipient. If the parcel is not found at the designated place, the recipient is liable for any potential loss unless they can prove that the carrier did not leave the parcel at the agreed location (e.g., through video surveillance). At i-Run, we recommend granting permission to leave only when customers know their parcel deliverer and trust them or when the drop-off location is not visible to passersby. In rare cases, parcels have been falsely logged as delivered even if they were not. The recipient can only transfer liability for the loss of such a parcel to a third party in exceptional cases, e.g., with the aforementioned evidence through video surveillance. Online shops are not liable if the recipient has allowed permission to leave. All orders can be tracked by the customer in their customer account on www.i-run.com or via the link sent to the email address provided by the customer.

In this case, the customer is required to inform i-Run by email, phone call, or letter about their decision. The purchase contract is terminated when i-Run is informed of the customer's decision to withdraw from the purchase contract. The customer can only withdraw from the purchase contract if the order has not been delivered within 7 working days after the indicated delivery date. The customer cannot withdraw from the purchase contract if the delivery delay is due to unexpected circumstances according to the jurisprudence of French courts. Once the customer withdraws from the purchase contract in line with the conditions described above, i-Run refunds the customer the order value within 14 days after the notification.

7.4 Lost Parcel

In the event of a lost parcel, i-Run will work with the shipping service to find the parcel. If the parcel is found, it will be immediately sent to the customer. If the order cannot be found, i-Run will refund the customer the amount within 14 days after being informed of the parcel's loss.

If it is not possible to agree on new delivery conditions and the customer does not receive their order, the order value will be refunded within 14 days after i-Run is informed about the non-delivery.

7.6 Damaged, Faulty, or Non-Conforming Product

Despite all care taken by the seller in preparing and checking orders, some orders may be incomplete or contain damaged, faulty, or non-conforming products. If a customer receives damaged, faulty, or non-conforming goods, they can refuse the delivery or exercise their right of return by timely sending back the goods. The customer is requested to inform i-Run about the defects or non-conformity of the goods. They have a period of 30 working days from the delivery date to notify i-Run of their withdrawal. The customer can exercise their right of return by returning their order along with the return form to i-Run. The items must be returned in perfect and unused condition, with all labels, accessories, documents, and in the original packaging. Clothing should not be tried on outdoors. Intimate clothing such as underwear should only be tried on over the customer's own underwear. If a product is found to be faulty, damaged, or non-conforming after use outdoors and/or during sporting activities, the customer is entitled to an exchange for the same product without defects (if available) or a credit of the order value in the i-Run customer account. i-Run covers the return costs. Once the i-Run customer service receives the returned items, they will inform the customer. The refund of all payments received will be processed immediately and within a maximum of 14 days after our customer service receives the return.

8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL / PRODUCT RETURNS

The customer generally has the right to return the ordered goods within 30 days after purchase without specifying reasons.

For any questions regarding the warranty of the offered products, the customer can contact i-Run using the contact form available at [www.i-Run.com](http://www.i-run.com/) or by calling 030 98289939.

10. LIABILITY

i-Run is fully responsible for fulfilling the obligations arising from the purchase contract. However, the seller is not liable in the event of non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of an obligation attributable to the customer, or due to force majeure, unforeseeable circumstances related to regulations, or the jurisdiction of the French courts. Additionally, i-Run is not liable for damages of any kind, whether material or immaterial, direct or indirect, resulting from improper use of the product or any adjustments or modifications made to the product by the customer without express permission from i-Run.

11. DATA PROTECTION AND COOKIES

i-Run commits to maintaining the privacy of the website's users and the confidentiality and security of data and information transmitted by the customer in accordance with the provisions of the applicable data protection laws and their privacy policy. The customer has the right to access personal data, correct personal data, and request the deletion of personal data at any time. i-Run uses various types of cookies to enhance the browsing experience and understand customer preferences. The customer can configure their settings to accept or reject the use of cookies.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All elements on the i-Run website, including logos, trademarks, names, images, comments, and descriptions, are protected by trademark, patent, image, and copyright laws. They belong to i-Run and/or its contractual partners. The information, content, files, and software offered by i-Run are protected by international industrial and intellectual property laws. Reproduction, distribution, transmission, or download of the entire content or parts thereof, in any way or on any medium, is prohibited without prior written consent from i-Run. Only private reproduction is allowed, permitting the customer to keep a copy of the pages of the i-Run website for strictly personal use without altering the content and while respecting ownership and copyright notices on the website. Creating a hyperlink to the i-Run website, particularly through framing or deep linking, requires explicit written permission. Otherwise, the hyperlink must be removed upon simple request from i-Run. Usage of content conflicting with these terms constitutes a forgery that is severely punished under French intellectual property law and the French Penal Code.

13. REFERRAL MARKETING

i-Run offers customers the opportunity to refer friends and family to become customers on the i-Run website. However, referral marketing must be limited to the customer's family and close friends. Mass referral marketing from individuals outside the customer's family circle, advertising on the internet, or in the press using the names of partner brands marked on www.i-run.com or in any part of the catalog is strictly prohibited. Referral marketing must be concluded between two different natural persons. i-Run reserves the right to refuse referral marketing without providing reasons. The seller also reserves the right to cut or suspend the referral marketing program if circumstances necessitate, without incurring liability.

14. LOYALTY PROGRAM

i-Run automatically grants its customers the benefit of a loyalty account. For each order placed on the website, the customer receives a credit of 5% of the total amount (including VAT) of their purchase in their account. The amount that the customer can accumulate for the purchase of each product is indicated on the product sheet. On the next order on the i-Run website, amounting to 60 euros or more, the total amount will be automatically offset with the accumulated loyalty benefit. This discount will be displayed in the order summary. Each loyalty benefit credited to an i-Run customer account is available 24 hours after the order. The amounts accumulated in the loyalty account cannot be refunded wholly or partially. These amounts are a commercial gesture that can only be used for future purchases. The customer has one year from the date of the credit on their loyalty account to use it. If the balance is not used within this period, it expires and cannot be used anymore. The use of the loyalty account is personal and non-transferable.

15. PRODUCT REVIEWS AND RATINGS

To provide customers with comprehensive information, i-Run features a product rating system on its website for some of its products (e.g., cushioning, dynamics). These ratings are only indicative and do not legally bind i-Run or the product manufacturers. Customer opinions and resulting ratings are collected by www.avis-verifies.com, an independent entity that guarantees their authenticity.

16. INTEGRITY

If one or more of these terms and conditions are declared null or invalid by a court or administrative authority, such nullity affects only the void or invalid provision, not the other clauses, which remain fully effective. No waiver of any act or right recognized in these terms and conditions at any time or the failure to enforce any of its clauses can be understood as a modification or novation of the contract or as an express or implied waiver of exercising the recognized rights, or as a waiver of the right to demand compliance with the provisions of these terms and conditions.

17. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

These terms and conditions, as well as the formalization of the order to which these terms and conditions are attached, are subject exclusively to French law. This complies with Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations, in particular with Article 1, which states: "This Regulation applies to contractual obligations in civil and commercial matters in the event of a conflict of laws", in connection with Article 3, which refers to Article 6(2): "The contract shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties". This is without prejudice to retaining the provisions not provided for in German law, particularly those contained in the Law on General Contract Conditions and the General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users 3/2014 of 27 March (with the enactment of the LOI n°2014-344 of 17 March 2014 - Art. 9 (V) under the application of Directive 2011/83/EU). Likewise, the parties are subject to Directive 93/13/EEC of the Council of 5 April on unfair terms in consumer contracts.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of a dispute, the parties endeavor to seek an out-of-court amicable resolution and commit, in good faith, to negotiate the conditions for dispute resolution in the joint interest of the parties. If the parties fail to reach an amicable agreement in negotiations, the dispute will be brought before the competent French courts. If the customer, as a private consumer, sues i-Run, they may be subject to the provisions of Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013 of 21 May on online resolution of consumer disputes and amending Regulation (EC) No. 2006/2004 and Directive (EC) No. 2009/22 (Directive on alternative dispute resolution in consumer matters).
