Creation of a Visitor Account

The Visitor may freely create a visitor account at no charge through the “Create an account” section. A visitor account is created by the Visitor by completing the form offered to him/her for his/her identification data. This account is strictly personal to the Visitor and allows the Visitor to identify himself/herself before validating each Order. During the creation of the Visitor account, the Visitor enters the data allowing his/her identification under his/her full responsibility, controls, and directions and commits to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date information and to not usurp the identity of a third party or hide or modify his/her age

During the creation of a visitor account, the Visitor chooses his/her username (email) and password. If the chosen username is already assigned, the system requires the Visitor to choose another one. The usernames and passwords are personal and confidential. While The Cotton Basket takes all useful precautions and is committed to protecting the personal data of its Visitors, the Visitor is informed of the need to keep his/her password secret and not to disclose it to a third party for any reason whatsoever. A Client who suspects the use of the username and password by a third party must immediately alert The Cotton Basket in order for his/her password to be changed and/or to choose to have his/her visitor account closed. The Cotton Basket reserves the possibility to close any visitor account and accordingly refuse any sale to a Visitor in the event of a payment default on one or more previous Orders. In this case, The Cotton Basket shall send an email to the Visitor concerned at the address indicated by him/her during the creation of his/her visitor account informing him/her of the disabling of his/her username and password and the closure of his/her account. The Client shall be given a reasonable notice period of eight (8) calendar days to possibly express his/her comments with The Cotton Basket, without prejudice to the suspension of his/her Account during the notice period. In general, the Visitor is informed that his/her account may be closed following the Visitor’s first request submitted to The Cotton Basket by email.
