In addition, you accept Devialet's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which apply generally to any use of the Website. Devialet reserves the right to modify these GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS at any time and at its sole discretion. The modified provisions of the GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS will take effect on the date of the "Last update" indicated at the bottom of this page and will apply to any new offer or order placed, regardless of the prior relationship between Devialet and the Customer.
