CONDITIONS OF REGISTRATION
To participate in online auctions or traditional auctions in Bourges (live or by absentee bid), you must register at the Collectoys Club, and provide real and verifiable information.
The duration and validity of your membership is limited to the expiration date of your credit card. 30 days before the expiration of the latter, you will receive an email asking you to send us the information of your new card. This message will be renewed 15 days before the expiration date. If there is no response from you within 48 hours, your membership will be suspended and you will not be able to participate in our sales until you have updated this information.
The information requested allows us, firstly, to ensure the security, efficiency, and proper conduct of sales (verifying against illegal auctions, secret agreements, etc.), and secondly, to establish invoices and shipping documents for your acquisitions.
Any information not verifiable by Collectoys will result in the refusal of your membership and prohibits your participation in our auctions.
The validation of your membership implies your full acceptance of the General Terms of Sale, which you confirm to have read and understood. We recommend that you print the document “General Terms of Sale.”
The General Terms of Sale of Collectoys are deemed to have been concluded in France, are subject to French law, and are thus written in French. Misinterpretation as a result of translation into another language (including the English translation given here in a purely advisory capacity), releases Collectoys of any responsibility regarding the application of interpreted clauses.
