- Go to your basket, to continue and add products, or place your order

- Select your address or add one, shipping costs are calculated according to the delivery address
Please note that the telephone number is mandatory, in order to improve the quality of the delivery, and to allow the carrier to call you.

 

- The next step invites you to select the mode of delivery, the proposals are automatic and variable according to the weight of your order and the place of delivery, and our partnerships with the various carriers
note that sometimes the relays are not displayed directly, it is then necessary to refresh your web page (Apple+R or Windows+R)

- Finally choose your payment option, and accept the terms and conditions
Payments by bank transfer are reserved only for professionals with an intra-community VAT number

- Click on "ORDER WITH AN OBLIGATION TO PAY" to be brought to the payment page of one of our banking partners (Crédit Agricole, PayPlug)

 

- Insert your credit card information, and also be prepared to validate your bank's 3D-Secure system (SMS, mobile application, token, etc)
Please note that no order is delivered on site or dispatched if the payment is not validated by our payment platforms: Crédit Agricole e-Transactions and/or PayPlug

 


 

3- I cannot validate my order

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

We have made the telephone field mandatory in order to increase the success of deliveries, this allows your carrier to contact you about your delivery, and sometimes simply to find your address.
Therefore, if you cannot click on the "CONTINUE" field on the order page, simply go back to the previous step and check that you have entered a phone number for the address(es) you have chosen.
Unfortunately, the system does not allow us to highlight the need to update addresses already registered, so you can update your phone number by editing it in your account, or from the "Step 2 ADDRESSES" order page.

It is compulsory to make a return request (no automatic validation) for exchange or refund.
The customer must make a request for return via the contact form on the PROTEUSHOP website (https://proteushop.com/en/contact-us), notifying his intention to retract by means of an unambiguous declaration. It is mandatory to complete and insert in the package the "PROTEUSHOP return form" on your computer for all product returns: 

4-1 Return conditions

- Returns of goods are possible within 14 calendar days maximum after receipt of your order, any claim made outside this period will not be accepted
- No direct returns to the shop are accepted without prior request and without following the process described below. Should the case arise, the product will be kept at the disposal of the buyer for a period of 365 days before destruction. In no case can this failure to respect the procedure put the standard procedure in default, in particular the respect of deadlines
- Once the request has been made, the products must be sent to us within a maximum of 14 calendar days following the creation of the return form, any delay may lead to the return being refused
- We reserve the right to refuse a return if it presents a damage, failing this, any costs of repairing the product would be borne by the buyer as far as this is possible and valid

- Returned products must be accompanied by the return form generated by PROTEUSHOP
- Under no circumstances can PROTEUSHOP be held responsible for customs and VAT charges
- As the products are considered new and functional when dispatched, the return costs are the responsibility of the buyer except in the case of a product error. However, if the manufacturer approves a defect on a product that falls within the scope of the guarantee, the return costs will be reimbursed up to the value of the standard shipping costs for this same product

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

We strive to offer the best rates directly, we do not respond to unit discount requests.
However, depending on the period, we may decide, on our own or in partnership with one of our suppliers and/or manufacturers, to offer discounts for certain operations, limited in time. These promotions are then offered as standard to all customers on the PROTEUSHOP website.

You can browse through the "PROMOTIONS" section of our website to see all our discounted products.


 

8- Tax and VAT management

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

Here are the rules of invoicing in e-commerce for the sports equipment that concerns us.

8-1 In France

In any case, VAT at the current rate is due.
The amount of VAT is notified on the invoice.
A company, depending on its status, can then recover this VAT.
There are exceptions to this rule, as certain vessels and certain activities such as seafarers, fishermen and assimilated (corailleurs) are entitled to direct exemption from VAT.
This tax exemption functionality is integrated on our site. All you need to do is make a request and provide us with the supporting documents in order to be able to place tax-free orders directly.

8-2 Intra-European Community

- In Business To Business (B2B)
Invoicing can be done without VAT by declaring the intra-community VAT number of the client company (see Section 9 below for compliance with the Intracommunity numbering standards).

- In Business To Client (B2C)
The VAT of the issuing country applies

8-3- Outside the European Community

VAT is not applied, the sale is then tax-free.
The buyer is responsible for paying import and local taxes (including VAT) on receipt of the parcel(s).
Non-resident French citizens must send us copies of their up-to-date passport, a copy of the "Carte de Registre des Français établis hors de France" and a copy of a local residence invoice (rent, electricity bill, etc).  
All tax-free sales must go through French customs, so there is no VAT refund when passing through a customs office in another country in the SCHENGEN area.

8-4- Why can the VAT display be incorrect? 

Our site uses a geolocation system based on your IP address. Based on this address, the system recognises your geographical location and allows the application of the above standard VAT rules.
However, due to the saturation of IP addresses (V4), Internet Service Providers (ISPs) no longer have sufficient IP addresses and buy ranges from other countries. At this moment, you can have an IP address from any country in the world!!
This distorts the geolocation system and misleads the program.

Note: it is impossible to respond favourably to any "arrangement" request to avoid customs duties and/or VAT payment.

 


 

9- Registration and use of your Intracommunity VAT number

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

Our system allows you to register your company's VAT number with automatic verification on the European Commission VIES website, this allows you to make tax-free payments for your orders.
Your VAT number must be inserted in the European format, otherwise it cannot be approved. It must not contain dashes, full stops or any other characters, but only the letters of the country followed by the numbers

According to the standards below, a correct number for France is FR12345678901, for Italy IT12345678901, Belgium BE1234567890, Germany DE123456789 etc.
If you do not enter your VAT number correctly, the system will retain the VAT in your invoice, and it will then be impossible to refund it.

11- CLICK 'n COLLECT: physical withdrawal of your order in our shop in the Lot, France

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

This delivery option allows you to physically pick up your parcels only in our shop in the LOT (and nowhere else).
We do not carry out transport for our customers, this is not our job, and we are not covered by any insurance for the transport of goods. If we exceptionally agree to transport your products, it would be under the full responsibility of the buyer, who accepts responsibility for any damage caused by transport.
It may exceptionally be extended to the recovery of parcels during certain events such as for example some dive shows, in this case each request must be approved in advance, as this type of travel requires organisation and the transport of a lot of material, it is not possible to combine it with many bulky/heavy products.

 


 

12- Deliveries: shipping, costs, tracking and lead times

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

The estimated delivery time of the order varies according to the destination, counted in working days (excluding weekends and local or national holidays, or other eventualities).

12-1 Order tracking

As soon as your order has been dispatched, you will receive an e-mail with the tracking number so that you can check the status of your order at any time.
You will also be able to track the dispatch of your order on our online shop by logging into your customer account and viewing the details of your order.

12-2 Delivery addresses

The delivery of your order is made by carrier to the address indicated at the time of purchase. We do not ship to hotels, post office boxes or military bases.
Any request to change the delivery address and/or billing address requires the approval of PROTEUSHOP Customer Service, and may result in the modification of shipping costs.

12-3 Delivery and return costs

Deliveries are invoiced at the carrier's actual cost according to the grids provided by the carriers, or the carriers' online cost calculation services.
Shipping costs for each order are calculated according to the weight and dimensions of the purchase, as well as the delivery address. Shipping costs will be recalculated when you place your order and will appear at all times in your shopping basket, clearly differentiated from the price of the items.
The shipping costs for the return to our warehouse are at the customer's expense. Returns must be sent directly to us, we do not accept returns to relay points, please refer to section 4 for all information on returns.

12-4 You have not received your parcel

If your order has not been delivered to you within the specified time, please contact us using the contact form, specifying your order reference so that we can help you.
Please note that carriers do not have a contractual commitment on delivery times, but do communicate on average delivery times.
Furthermore, since the beginning of 2020, due to the effects of the pandemic, the teams of transporters and customs are undergoing human resources impacts and cannot meet the standard deadlines.

12-5 Estimation of delivery costs

Delivery costs can be estimated by putting your products in your shopping cart and then inserting your address in the purchase process. The different delivery options by carrier will be proposed to you with the delivery costs and estimated delivery time for each one.

 


 

13- Changing an order

Bouton_BackToTop.png

 

Once validated, your order cannot be modified, in fact, the delivery charges are validated according to the volume and weight of the order. Any modification, in particular the addition of a product, is therefore impossible.
