General terms of purchase
In force as of 14/11/2026. This English version is a translation provided for information only; in the event of any discrepancy, the French version prevails.
1. Purpose
These terms govern the purchase, by Recynew (“the Buyer”), of storage media and memory components (SSDs, NAND chips, eMMC, RAM modules and similar items) offered by private individuals or businesses (“the Seller”) through the Recychips website.
2. Ownership and origin of the equipment
The Seller warrants that they own the equipment sold, or are duly authorised by its owner, and that the equipment is free of any third-party rights and does not originate from any offence. The Buyer reserves the right to request any supporting documents and to refuse a batch.
3. Estimate and quote
The amount displayed when submitting a request is an estimate based on the information declared. It does not constitute a commitment to purchase. The request is approved or refused by the Buyer; no shipment may be made before approval.
4. Shipping
After approval, the Seller ships the batch to the address provided, including the quote reference. Shipping costs are borne by the Buyer when the estimated volume reaches 20 TB; otherwise they are borne by the Seller. Risk passes upon receipt by the Buyer.
5. Inspection and final offer
Upon receipt, the Buyer inspects the batch (quantity, format, capacity, authenticity). A final offer is published in the customer account. If there is a discrepancy with the declaration, the offer is adjusted and justified. The Seller has 15 days to accept or refuse it; failing a response, the offer is deemed accepted.
6. Refusal of the offer
If the offer is refused, the equipment is, at the Seller's choice, returned at the Seller's expense or recycled free of charge through an approved WEEE channel.
7. Payment
Payment is made by bank transfer or PayPal within 7 working days of acceptance of the final offer. For businesses, a purchase voucher is issued; a VAT-registered business Seller issues the corresponding invoice.
8. Reward programme
When the programme is active, a gift card may be granted according to the displayed tiers, calculated on the volume actually received and approved. It cannot be exchanged or refunded and may be modified or suspended at any time for future requests.
9. Data on the media
The Seller is solely responsible for erasing their data beforehand. The Buyer undertakes not to read, copy or use any data that may be present; the media are dismantled and the chips extracted for reuse as components or recovered as materials.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. Failing an amicable settlement, the competent courts are those of the Buyer's registered office, subject to the mandatory rules protecting consumers in their country of residence.
