BATTLES-AURA / TERMS OF SALE

YOUR CODEX.
YOUR RIGHTS.

Print and digital editions · Mainland France

These terms apply to the purchase of the Codex Aura—whether in print (with or without personalization) or as a PDF—for customers in mainland France.

01 / The Seller

VANDOREL, a sole proprietorship operating as Battles-Aura. Business address: 47 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France. RCS Paris 130 759 731. SIRET: 130 759 731 00016. Contact: contact@battles-aura.com — 09 72 19 74 14.

Purchases are intended for consumers who have the legal capacity to enter into a contract or who are validly represented. The contract is offered in French; no subscription is required.

02 / The book and its price

Codex Aura is an illustrated book in French, in A5 format, with 78 pages and a log for fifty signatures. The print edition costs €29.90. Delivery: Free of charge. VAT not applicable (Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code). The total amount is stated prior to any payment.

Your personalized print edition

You may also choose "Battles-Aura: Create My Duel"—an illustration featuring two characters, generated by artificial intelligence based on your artistic preferences. Review the result and accept it before the PDF is prepared. The generated image may contain imperfections; please carefully check the characters and their poses. A second proposal may be requested—up to a limit of two generations per visitor every twenty-four hours, subject to available capacity. Once an illustration is selected and the composition is confirmed, it is finalized; technical revisions cannot be used to replace it with an entirely new image.

For an additional €4.90 per copy, you can include your username, an optional quote, and your own illustration or logo on the first blank page of the Codex. The price for the personalized book is €34.80, with free standard tracked delivery within mainland France. If you order multiple physical copies in a single transaction, the same personalization will be applied to each one.

Please upload a PNG or JPEG image (maximum 2 MB) for which you hold the necessary rights. Your chosen username will be automatically rendered in a street-style font, and your quote will appear in a handwritten-style script. Prepare the PDF, download the preview, and carefully check the spelling, framing, and image clarity before confirming your design and proceeding to payment. Any changes will require a new preview and a fresh confirmation. Only the exact, confirmed version will be used for printing; the number of pages in the Codex remains unchanged.

Approving the preview does not waive your statutory rights or your right to seek a remedy in the event of a manufacturing defect. Content that is unlawful or infringes upon the rights of others cannot be printed. If it is not possible to fulfill your customization request, we will contact you to arrange a solution or provide a refund for the item in question.

Digital Edition

The digital Codex Aura is a 68-page PDF file (in French, without a signature booklet), priced at €19.90. It can be stored and viewed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone using a PDF reader. An internet connection is required to download the file. The file size is approximately 89 MB; please ensure you have sufficient storage space on your device. No subscription or specialized paid software is required.

Access to the PDF is for personal use only. It is made available following payment confirmation, via your order page and a secure link sent to your email address. The email link remains valid for ninety days from the date of payment; please ensure you save the file to your device. If the link has expired, please contact our customer service team, providing your order reference number. The expiration of the link does not affect your rights to the content you have purchased.

03 / Ordering and Payment

Please verify the edition, quantities, your email address, and your contact details, then review and accept these terms and conditions by checking the designated box. The total cost is displayed prior to final confirmation, which constitutes a binding obligation to pay. Payment is processed in a single transaction via the secure Stripe platform, using the payment methods provided therein.

Once your payment is confirmed, you will receive an email stating that your order is being processed, along with your invoice and a copy of the terms and conditions you accepted. For the print edition, a second email will confirm that your order has been validated and is being prepared. A third email will announce the shipment of your Codex and include a tracking number. For the digital edition, the first email will contain access to the PDF; no physical package is sent. If your cart includes both editions, you will receive communications corresponding to both processes.

Processing includes verifying the order and payment before printing begins. If a payment is declined, the production process will not be initiated. Should further verification be required, your order will remain in the system; you can check its status via your confirmation link or by contacting our customer service team. No additional payment is required for the printing process.

The applicable version of the terms and conditions is the one accepted at the time the order was placed. Any subsequent changes do not affect agreements already in place. A copy of the terms and conditions, as well as your invoice, remain linked to your order and can be requested by contacting contact@battles-aura.com.

04 / Delivery and Returns

Delivery of the print edition is limited to mainland France (excluding Corsica and French overseas territories). Standard tracked shipping is provided free of charge. Your address eligibility and service availability are verified prior to payment.

The Codex is printed on demand. Printing and shipping are handled by Lulu; however, Battles-Aura remains your primary point of contact and is responsible for the proper fulfillment of the sale and delivery. Tracking information will be provided once the shipment has been confirmed. The seller remains responsible for transport until you—or a third party you have designated—take physical possession of the Codex.

In the event of a delay, or if a package is lost, damaged, or does not conform to your order, please contact contact@battles-aura.com and provide your order reference. Failure to register a complaint with the carrier does not waive your rights. Legal remedies for delays and statutory warranties remain applicable.

To arrange a return of a Codex and obtain the return shipping address, please contact us via the contact form on the website or by phone at 09 72 19 74 14, providing your order reference. You may also write to contact@battles-aura.com. Please note that our business address is for administrative correspondence only; do not send books there. You do not need prior authorization to exercise your right of withdrawal.

Exercising My Right of Withdrawal

05 / Right of Withdrawal

Right of Withdrawal — Standard Physical Book

Exercise my right of withdrawal online : complete the declaration, review the summary and click “Confirm withdrawal”. A dated acknowledgment of receipt is available to download and is prepared for the email address you provided. You may also use the other notification methods below.

In accordance with Articles L. 221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, a consumer customer has fourteen (14) days to exercise their right of withdrawal, without needing to provide a reason for their decision or incur any costs other than those stipulated by law. This period begins upon receipt of the book by the customer or by a third party designated by them (other than the carrier). The day of receipt is not included in the count. If an order consists of several items delivered separately, the period begins upon receipt of the final item. Legal rules regarding the calculation and extension of this period apply—for instance, if the final day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a public or non-working holiday.

The customer must notify the seller of their decision before this period expires, by using the contact form on the website, by email at contact@battles-aura.com , or by any other unambiguous statement. A standard withdrawal form is provided for optional use.

A standard copy printed on demand is not, for that reason alone, considered a "personalized" item; therefore, the right of withdrawal remains applicable.

Condition of the book and return packaging

Opening the packaging or examining the book does not negate your right of withdrawal. To preserve its value, please keep the book clean and complete, ensuring it remains free of any added signatures, annotations, or damage. Items being returned must be protected by suitable packaging; using the original packaging is recommended but not mandatory. A return will not be automatically rejected simply because the book is no longer in "new" condition.

Once the decision to withdraw has been communicated, the customer has fourteen (14) days to return the book to the seller or to a person designated by the seller. In accordance with Article L. 221-23 of the French Consumer Code, the return must be made without undue delay and no later than the end of this 14-day period, unless the seller offers to collect the book personally.

The customer may only be held liable for any depreciation in the value of the book resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics, and proper functioning—provided that the seller has previously informed the customer of their right of withdrawal, in accordance with Article L. 221-5, 7° of the French Consumer Code. For instance, writing in a signature book may cause the item to depreciate; however, this does not automatically disqualify the customer from exercising their right of withdrawal.

If excessive handling has resulted in a loss of actual value—such as through annotations, signatures, tears, stains, creases, or other forms of damage—the seller may, in accordance with legal requirements, withhold an amount corresponding to the actual depreciation incurred. This loss must be substantiated and explained to the customer, notably by documenting the condition of the book upon its return. Mere signs of use are not sufficient to automatically justify a deduction. No flat-rate penalty is applied for opening a book, nor are there restocking fees or automatic exclusions for having read the book. Defects present at the time of delivery are not attributed to the customer.

In accordance with Article L. 221-24 of the French Consumer Code, refunds shall be issued without undue delay and no later than fourteen days following notification. This includes the initial delivery costs corresponding to the standard shipping method offered. Unless the seller offers to collect the book personally, they may withhold the refund until the item has been recovered or proof of its shipment has been received—whichever occurs first. The refund shall be issued using the same payment method originally used, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon (at no additional cost to the customer).

The direct costs of returning a physical book in the event of a withdrawal from the contract shall be borne by the customer. This rule applies to cases where a customer simply changes their mind; costs associated with addressing a lack of conformity or an error on the part of the seller shall be borne by the seller. A store credit (voucher) may not be imposed in lieu of a legally required refund.

To obtain instructions and the return address, please contact us via the contact form on the website or by phone at 09 72 19 74 14, providing your order reference. You may also write to contact@battles-aura.com. The business address is reserved for administrative correspondence; no books should be sent there. You do not need the seller’s prior authorization to notify us of your withdrawal.

Truly personalized physical book

In accordance with Article L. 221-28, 3° of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for a book produced according to the customer’s specifications or one that is clearly personalized. This exception applies to a copy ordered with a specific username and other personalized elements printed within the book. The fact that an option is paid for, that a book is simply printed on demand, or that a choice is made from a set of standard designs is not, in itself, sufficient to exclude this right.

The customer is informed of this exception before confirming the order. The customer’s acknowledgment of this, along with the chosen elements, is stored with the order and included in the order confirmation. The exception arises from the truly personalized nature of the item; simply checking a box cannot negate the rights applicable to a standard book. It is not contingent upon the actual commencement of the printing process.

Statutory warranties and remedies in the event of a defect, customization that does not conform to the order, failure to deliver, or any other breach by the seller remain applicable. This exception does not deprive the other standard items in an order of their respective rights.

Regarding digital books

Digital content is not automatically excluded from the right of withdrawal. To begin the provision of such content before the end of the fourteen-day withdrawal period, the customer must provide express consent and acknowledge the loss of this right. The seller must confirm this consent in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 221-13 of the French Consumer Code.

For a PDF provided without a physical medium, the fourteen-day period begins upon the conclusion of the contract, unless the right of withdrawal has been validly forfeited under the conditions set forth in Article L. 221-28, 13°, of the French Consumer Code.

This checkbox is separate from the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and is never pre-checked. Without this consent, immediate access will not be granted. The loss of the right of withdrawal is contingent upon the actual commencement of the provision of the content and compliance with all legal requirements; payment alone, or the mere act of checking the box, is insufficient.

In the case of a mixed shopping cart, the agreement applies only to the PDF. It does not waive the right of withdrawal for the physical (paper) book, nor does it affect legal warranties—including those applicable to digital products.

06 / Legal warranties

Legal warranties apply independently of the right of withdrawal. To exercise them, please write to contact@battles-aura.com describing the issue and the relevant order. The seller identified in the first section of these terms and conditions is responsible for these warranties.

When a return is necessary due to a defect covered by a legal warranty, the item does not need to be in "like-new" condition, nor is it required to be in its original, intact packaging. The book must simply be protected for transport; the reported defect itself cannot be used as a justification for refusing to process the claim.

Printed book

Printed books are covered by the legal warranty of conformity in the event of a defect. The conditions, timeframes, and rules regarding evidence as established by law remain applicable.

The legal warranty of conformity entails an obligation for the professional—where applicable—to provide any updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the item.

The legal warranty of conformity entitles the consumer to have the item repaired or replaced within thirty days of their request, at no cost and without any major inconvenience.

If an item is repaired under the legal warranty of conformity, the consumer is entitled to a six-month extension of the original warranty period.

If the seller mandates a replacement instead of the requested repair, a new warranty period begins, subject to the conditions provided by law.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price while keeping the item, or terminate the contract and receive a full refund upon returning the item, if:

The professional refuses to repair or replace the item;
The repair or replacement of the good takes place after a period of thirty days;
The repair or replacement of the good causes significant inconvenience to the consumer—for instance, if the consumer is left to bear the costs of returning or removing the non-conforming good, or the costs of installing the repaired or replacement good;
The non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or the rescission of the contract when the lack of conformity is sufficiently serious to justify an immediate price reduction or rescission. In such cases, the consumer is not required to first request the repair or replacement of the good.

The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period during which the good is unavailable for use due to repair or replacement suspends the remaining term of the warranty until the restored good is delivered.

The rights mentioned above arise from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code.

A seller who acts in bad faith to obstruct the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to as much as 10% of their average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).

Consumers are also entitled to the legal guarantee against hidden defects, pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code. This guarantee allows for a price reduction—if the item is kept—or a full refund upon return of the item, subject to the conditions and time limits prescribed by law.

Digital book

Digital books are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a defect. The conditions, time limits, and rules regarding evidence established by law remain applicable.

The legal guarantee of conformity includes an obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or digital service.

The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or digital service brought into conformity—without undue delay following their request, at no cost, and without causing any major inconvenience.

The consumer may obtain a price reduction while retaining the digital content or digital service, or may terminate the contract and receive a full refund upon relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if:

The trader refuses to bring the digital content or digital service into conformity;
Bringing the digital content or digital service into conformity is unjustifiably delayed;
Bringing the digital content or digital service into conformity cannot be achieved without imposing costs on the consumer;
Bringing the digital content or digital service into conformity causes significant inconvenience to the consumer;
The lack of conformity of the digital content or digital service persists despite the trader’s unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is of such a serious nature that it justifies an immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not required to first request that the digital content or digital service be brought into conformity.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is only entitled to terminate the contract if the contract does not provide for the payment of a price.

Any period during which the digital content or digital service is unavailable for the purpose of being brought back into conformity suspends the remaining term of the warranty until the digital content or digital service is provided in a state of conformity once again.

The rights mentioned above arise from the application of Articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the Consumer Code.

A professional who acts in bad faith to obstruct the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to as much as 10% of their average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the Consumer Code).

Consumers are also entitled to the legal guarantee against hidden defects, pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code. This guarantee allows for a price reduction—if the digital content is retained—or a full refund—upon relinquishing said content—subject to the conditions and timeframes provided by law.

07 / Complaints

For any complaints, please contact contact@battles-aura.com or use the contact form. Please provide your order reference and describe the issue so that we may review your request. This process does not limit your statutory rights or your access to the competent courts.

French law applies, without depriving the consumer of the mandatory protections to which they are entitled.

08 / Data and Content

Please consult our privacy policy. Purchasing the PDF allows you to read and keep it for your personal use. It does not authorize you to post it online, share the private link, or redistribute it, subject to any legal exceptions. Rights to protected content remain reserved by their respective owners.
