If the Customer remains silent over the above-mentioned time limit, the Item will be considered abandoned.

The Customer must pay for the Service online via the box.tripperty.com Website when he or she subscribes to the Service or payment is made in cash in the Pick up point at the time of the recovery of the Item (in Pick up Points accepting cash payments and identified in Appendix 1).

Appendix 2: Terms and Conditions for the Dispatch of Deposited Items

1. The Processing of the Deposited Items

La Poste processes the Deposited Items that are entrusted to it for dispatch on condition that they comply with these Terms and Conditions for the Dispatch of Deposited Items.
If they do not comply, La Poste reserves the right to refuse or suspend the Dispatch.
When La Poste suspends the Dispatch for this reason, it informs the Customer of this fact, informing him or her of the place and the time limits within which the Deposited Item will be made available. After the time limit has expired, or if the Customer chooses not to retrieve the Deposited Item, La Poste will be free to dispose of it as it thinks fit. If it is not possible to notify the Customer, La Poste processes the Deposited Item in accordance with conditions laid down in clause 6 relating to Items that cannot be delivered.
The related costs will be borne by the Customer. If La Poste did not know that the Item in question was not compliant when the Customer subscribed to the Service, the fact that the non-compliant Item has been processed will not discharge the Customer of his or her liability.

Dispatched Items are subject to the security checks that apply to air transport, which may involve opening the parcel.
The checks will be carried out, in any event, in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable in this field, and within the strict limits of what is necessary for the application of those laws and regulations, in the presence of a representative from La Poste. At each site concerned a procedure, of which details are provided in an appended document, will be followed.

2. Delivering Deposited Items in France

The Deposited Items are delivered through the letterbox at the address given by the Customer.

La Poste does not return to the Customer Items that were delivered at the address given, when the addressee did not take possession of them.
If it is not possible to deliver the Item through the letterbox, La Poste may take the initiative to deliver the Item to any person who is present at the address. It may also deliver the Item to a caretaker or concierge who agrees to take delivery.
La Poste reserves the right to make several attempts to deliver the Item at the address notified by the Customer.
When the Item cannot be delivered for reasons other than those mentioned in clause 6, the postman or woman leaves a notice of attempted delivery. The Item is held at the place mentioned on the notice of the attempted delivery and should be collected in accordance with the conditions stipulated in clause 5. With respect to Items to be delivered abroad, the Item is made available for collection in accordance with the procedures of the foreign partner.
The usual lead time for delivery in Metropolitan France, Monaco and Andorra is 2 to 3 days.

3. Delivering Deposited Items abroad

Items are delivered in accordance with the rules that apply in the country of destination, through the letterbox, at the address given by the Customer or using any other delivery method used by foreign partners.
With respect to deliveries abroad, the digitised signature recorded when the Item is delivered, and reproductions of that signature, are proof that the Deposited Item has been delivered, and the Parties acknowledge that this signature has a legal value which is identical to that of a traditional signature on paper. Neither La Poste nor the foreign partner will be involved in checking the contents of the parcel, if this occurs.
The usual lead time for delivery is 3 to 10 days, depending upon the destination.

4. Changes to the delivery method

In exceptional circumstances, particularly when access to the addressee's letterbox is very difficult or when the delivery would be dangerous for the postman or woman, La Poste will, where appropriate, be discharged of its obligation to deliver the Item within a certain time limit, and reserves the right to change the delivery method. In this case, La Poste will inform the addressee, by all means, that it is impossible to deliver the Item. The Deposited Item is then held and can be retrieved by the addressee in accordance with the conditions laid down in clause 5.

5. Retention and retrieval of Deposited Items at the place mentioned on the notice of attempted delivery

When a Deposited Item is to be retrieved at the place mentioned on the notice of attempted delivery, the addressee, or their representative who must hold a valid power of attorney prepared by the addressee authorising the representative to retrieve mail addressed to the addressee, must present the notice of attempted delivery and an official identity document. Failing this, the representative must present an official identity document in his or her own name, an official identity document in the name of the addressee and the notice of attempted delivery, which constitutes a one-off power of attorney completed and signed by the addressee.
Duties and taxes may be payable when the Deposited Item is delivered, particularly if the Item is subject to customs clearance fees or customs duties.
The Deposited Items are retained at the place mentioned on the notice of attempted delivery for a period of 15 calendar days, from the day following the day on which the notice of attempted delivery was issued. On the expiry of this time limit, La Poste will return the undelivered Items in accordance with the conditions laid down in clause 6.

6. Deposited Items that cannot be delivered

La Poste's commitment to deliver the Deposited Items that are entrusted to it for delivery does not apply to:

• Dispatches for which the address is inaccurate, imprecise, incomplete or illegible;
• Dispatches for which the addressee or the letterbox cannot be found or is inaccessible, except in exceptional circumstances as provided for in clause 4;
• Dispatches for which the addressee refuses to take delivery.

If La Poste is not able to reach the addressee for one of these reasons, La Poste will contact the Customer in order to find out whether he or she wishes to relinquish the Deposited Item definitively, to the benefit of La Poste, without any reimbursement for the Service, or to agree on arrangements for another delivery. The costs of carrying the Item if the Customer chooses to have a second delivery will be borne by the Customer at the prices set by La Poste, which can be seen at https://boutique.laposte.fr/affranchissement-a-domicile/colissimo-en-ligne/tarifs.

7. The Address

The Customer must give the addressee's correct, precise and complete address.
A complete address means an address including, in the following order:

• The name, when the Item has been sent to a legal entity, and/or the surname(s) and first name(s) of the addressee(s) when the Item has been sent to a person(s);
• With respect to residential buildings, the number or name of the building and the staircase, and where appropriate, the number of the apartment or the letterbox;
• the number of the home and the name of the road/street;

• the CEDEX code, where appropriate;
• the name of the country of destination, where appropriate.

8. The Letterbox

If the postal service is to fulfil the obligation to deliver the Deposited Item there must be a letterbox at the addressee's home or premises, located at the entrance to the property and adjacent to the public highway, which ensures the safety of the mail and speed of delivery, with full regard for the regulations in force, except when a caretaker or concierge takes delivery of the mail.
In residential buildings, the mail is delivered in letterboxes installed at the entrance or in a space at an accessible level, which can be accessed freely by the postman or woman.
In accordance with article R. 111-14-1 of the French Building and Housing Code (Code de la construction et de l’habitation), residential buildings for which planning permission was sought after 12 July 1979 must have a standardised letterbox which can be accessed by the postman or woman (French standards NF D-404 and NF D-405).
If there is no letterbox, or if the letterbox is not accessible or, in the case of a residential building, if there is no name or number on the letterbox, by which it would be possible to connect the Dispatched Item with a letterbox, La Poste will be discharged of its obligation to deliver the Item at the address given by the Customer.
