A - Introduction
It is understood that the Terms and Conditions outlined hereunder cover the partnership between the ainsifont.com site creator, l'Atelier télescopique, and the Client. These Terms and Conditions, together with the order confirmation, represent the contract between l'Atelier telescopique and the Client for the ordered items. All other terms and conditions do not apply. This contract cannot be modified without the written or electronic consent of l'Atelier télescopique.
The ainsifont.com website represents a collection of Font Software made available by l'Atelier télescopique for commercial use. This digital type foundry may be consulted on the ainsifont.com web site. The Client must confirm agreement with these Terms and Conditions by clicking on, "I have read, understood and accept these Terms and Conditions" when placing an order.

If the Client refuses to accept these Terms and Conditions, the Client must refrain from using this web site. L'Atelier télescopique reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notification.

B - Ordering
The Client must be at least 18 years of age to place an order on the ainsifont.com site. The Client may place an order by filling out the order form displayed on the ainsifont.com site after having created or connected to his/her account and validated said order. Orders that go above and beyond the range of possibilities offered by the order system of the ainsifont.com site, as well as arrangements for "standard" licences, will be subject to a customised contract, to be signed by l'Atelier telescopique and the Client. Orders placed by any other means than those mentioned above will not be processed. The ordering process will assign an order number to each order when it is placed. The validation of an order constitutes the willingness to purchase the products that the Client have selected under the present Terms and Conditions.
L'Atelier télescopique reserves the right to accept or reject an order at its discretion. In particular in, but not limited to, cases in which the prices of the selected products are inappropriate due to display errors or malfunctions in the ordering and/or payment processing system.

The Client will receive confirmation that the order has been accepted subject to the provision of a valid electronic mail address during account creation. The order confirmation is considered to be valid from the delivery date. If the Client's order is not accepted, l'Atelier télescopique will try to contact the Client by electronic mail, telephone or post. Although all available efforts will be made to make the products shown on the ainsifont.com site available, l'Atelier télescopique may be unable to do so. For example, display errors or a site malfunctions represent circumstances under which delivery can be delayed or deterred. Under such circumstances, l'Atelier telescopique will present an alternative solution to the Client. If the Client does not accept the alternative solution, l'Atelier télescopique will cancel the order and reimburse the Client. Under the Terms and Conditions outlined in paragraph I, (Warrantees and Liabilities), order reimbursements represent the only liability of l'Atelier telescopique towards the Client should l'Atelier télescopique be unable to deliver the ordered products.
