3. Order
To place an order on this website, the customer must be of age and have legal capacity. If this is not the case, a parental authorization is required.
Any information automatically registered by VISIOFACTORY.COM constitutes valid proof of the nature and content of the order. To place an order on our website, the customer must first have created an account whose methods and information will be explained at the time of registration.
Before confirming the order and processing the payment, the customer must unconditionally accept the entirety of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
The data registered by VISIOFACTORY.COM constitute the proof of the entirety of transactions made between customers and CACTUS. The data registered by the system of payment “CM-CIC payment” constitute the proof of financial transactions.
Once the payment method is selected and the order is confirmed, the customer will receive an order confirmation email (at the email address provided during the registration process) including an invoice and a detail summary. Then, a second email will be sent to confirm the payment acceptance.
However, the sale will be concluded only after validation of payment by CACTUS.
Besides, in order to fight against online payment fraud, CACTUS reserves the right to ask the customer to provide any proof if in doubt about his identity, age, address or the holder of the payment method.
In any case, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order of a customer with whom there would be:
- A litigation relating to the payment of a previous order;
- A doubt about his identity;
- A doubt about his solvency;
- A doubt about his contractual capacity.
Moreover, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order placed on VISIOFACTORY without the customer being entitled to claim any compensation in case of:
- Error in inventory management;
- Permanently out of stock products;
- An obvious mistake on one or several products displayed on the site;
- An obvious mistake on a price;
- A mistake or discordance between prescription and order;
- Infeasibility of optical equipment.
Any product ordered on this website is intended for private use only and not for the purpose of partial or full resale.

4. Price and payment
4.1. Price
For orders placed in metropolitan France:
The prices are expressed in euros (€), all taxes included (French VAT and other applicable taxes). The charged VAT is equal to the basic rate applied in metropolitan France for this type of products (20%). The VAT rate indicated on your invoice represents the VAT rate of ordered and sent items. The displayed price includes the French VAT at the corresponding rate. The price indicated on each product page does not include shipping fees. The price indicated on the order summary and order confirmation pages is the definitive price, all taxes included. This price includes the price of products, handling charges, packaging costs, shipping fees and insurance costs. The total amount is payable in cash on the day the order is confirmed.
Besides, CACTUS reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. But the products will be charged on the basis of applicable prices on the day the order is placed.
For orders placed outside metropolitan France:
In compliance with applicable law, CACTUS is forced to charge the VAT on orders sent to most European Union countries.
Orders delivered outside the European Union are not subject to VAT, but can be subject to local taxes and customs fees in force in the country of destination. This also applies to orders delivered in the French Overseas Departments and Territories (DOM/TOM) and other regional authorities.
For orders outside the European Union, VAT is detailed on the order summary page and in the order confirmation email.
If customs authorities charge the customer for customs duties and excise taxes when he collects his parcel, no refund, discount or tax relief will be made on the amount of the order.
Therefore, before placing an order, the customer must check for possible taxes and duties due on product imports.
In any case, CACTUS cannot be held liable in case of failure to pay taxes due by the customer.
Warning: any inaccurate information provided by the customer in order to avoid VAT may result in civil fines and criminal proceedings.
4.2. Payment
You can pay the products ordered on VISIOFACTORY.COM by:
1) Credit card (Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard, American Express) directly online. For this purpose, CACTUS has chosen “CM-CIC p@iement”.
During a credit card payment process, the whole transaction is encrypted between you and CIC Bank. You temporarily leave the website and are redirected to “CM-CIC p@iement”.
“CM-CIC p@iment” is the guarantee that:
- CACTUS will never know your Credit card number. Indeed, this one is entered on a web secured page hosted by the bank.
- “CM-CM p@iement” will never know the details of your purchases because we only send the total order amount and the order number to “CM-CIC p@iement”.
In case of refusal of approval by payment centers, the order will be automatically cancelled and the customer will be informed by email.
Besides, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse any credit card payment if the amount of the order exceeds €900.
2) PayPal for orders that do not exceed €900, shipping fees excluded.

4) Orders made with a payment in three times can not be the subject of a relay point delivery: the customer must compulsorily opt for a home delivery with signature if he wishes to benefit from this method of payment.
5. Title retention clause
By express agreement and in compliance with the French Law of 12 May 1980, ordered products remain the property of CACTUS until complete payment.
