II.1  Product Specifications

The Products offered for sale by the Company are those shown on the Site on the day of consultation by the Customer. The authentic description of the Products is that published on the Site at the time of the order.

Each Product is the subject of a description sheet detailing the essential characteristics of the Product (in particular the unit price, available sizes and colors, composition, geographical traceability of the three major manufacturing stages [weaving/knitting, dyeing/printing and assembly of the finished product] and special features) and containing one or more photographs of the Product. The Customer is invited to refer to the description sheet for each Product in order to find out about its properties and particularities, in particular to determine whether these correspond to the characteristics sought by the Customer. The choice and purchase of a Product are the sole responsibility of the Customer.

The Products are described and presented as accurately as possible. While the Company makes every effort to ensure that the color and pattern of the Products whose photographs are displayed on the Site are faithful to the original Products, minor differences may exist, depending in particular on the resolution and color definition of the Customer's screen. Consequently, the Company cannot be held responsible for minor differences with the photographs of the Products on the Site.

The Company undertakes to deliver Products that comply with current regulations on personal health and safety, in accordance with European provisions and in particular with legislation on regulated chemical substances.

II.2  Product availability

Products are sold while stocks last. Information on the availability of Products is provided on the Site on the Product page and when the order is placed. The Company makes every effort to ensure that the availability of Products is regularly updated.

However, despite all the precautions taken, it may exceptionally happen that a Product ordered is no longer available. In such a case, the Company will immediately inform the Customer, who will be reimbursed for the amount of the unavailable Products and delivery costs, using the same means of payment.

The Company shall not be held liable in the event of the unavailability of one or more Products on the Site.

The Company reserves the right to change the Products offered on the Site at any time and without notice.

III.1 Pricing information

Delivery costs vary according to the delivery method chosen and are communicated to the Customer on the order summary before the order is validated. All taxes are included.

III.2 Price display

Prices displayed on the Site are indicated in Euros for France and the European Union or in the local currencies of the countries in which the Site sells the Products (the list of said countries can be consulted directly on the Site).

In the event of the display of an erroneous or obviously derisory price (low price), for whatever reason (in particular an computer bug, a manual error or a technical error), the order, even if validated by the Company, will be cancelled, and the Customer will be informed of this as soon as possible. In this case, the Customer may, if he/she so wishes, subject to the availability of the Articles, place his/her order again at the corrected and exact price.

In the context of promotional operations organized by the Company, prices will be displayed in the form of crossed-out price advertisements. The advertisements will be based on the selling price during the last thirty days preceding the promotional operation in question.

Direct debit authorization is requested when the order is validated on the Site, except in the event of server unavailability. The Company reserves the right to issue a new direct debit authorization request if the first request is unsuccessful due to server unavailability.

The Company makes every effort to ensure the confidentiality and security of bank details transmitted via the Site. The Site is equipped with an online payment security system that encrypts customer data. Payment information is transmitted according to the highest security standards. The transmission of banking data is guaranteed by the Company's partner: Shopify (Shopify being a technical service provider, it does not handle any disputes relating to orders, which are handled directly by the Company as specified above, or by the Customer's bank where applicable).

All information exchanged to process payment is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol: this data cannot be detected, intercepted or used by third parties. At no time do the customer's financial data pass through the company's computer system. Shopify verifies that the connection with the customer's browser is secure before sending the payment form to the banking institution carrying out the financial transaction.

• Paypal: by choosing this payment method, the Customer is automatically redirected to the Paypal platform. If the customer does not yet have a Paypal account, they can create one at this point. The applicable conditions are those of Paypal. Once the order has been validated with Paypal, the Customer is redirected to the Site's confirmation page.

- Apple Pay: available only if the Customer is using Apple support and has activated Apple Pay functionality.

- Scalapay: the Company offers customers the option of paying for their order in three instalments, free of charge (one instalment per month). By choosing this payment method, the Customer is automatically redirected to the Scalapay platform. The applicable conditions are those of Scalapay. The Customer is invited to consult these conditions by clicking on the "general conditions" link, and to follow the payment procedure.

-        Voucher generated on our second-hand platform www.secondemain.gerarddarel.com: Customers hereby are reminded that :

o   the amount of the voucher may not exceed €250.

o   the voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and may only be used on the Site and at www.secondemain.gerarddarel.com.

o   the voucher can be used on all Products offered for sale on the Site, with the exception of Products :

       i.     subject to a promotional operation (for example, but not limited to Outlet, Last Chance, Private Sales, Privilege Days, etc.).

       ii.     on sale.

o   the voucher cannot be split: a single voucher can be used to pay for a single order.

o   the voucher cannot be combined with any other voucher or discount code.

o   the voucher cannot be used to pay for the delivery costs of an order.

The Customer is informed that the use of this method of payment cannot be used to pay for the entire order, and that it must therefore be supplemented by other methods of payment available on the Site.

This method of payment is only available in mainland France (including Corsica).

For further information on vouchers, the Customer is invited to consult the GTC of our second-hand platform www.secondemain.gerarddarel.com.

At this stage, the Customer can also enter a discount code (as indicated above, the discount code cannot be used when using a voucher generated from our Seconde Main platform) and a billing address, which may be the same as or different from the delivery address.

Once the payment method has been selected and the required information has been entered, the Customer can proceed with payment by clicking on the "Pay now" button.

In the event of non-payment, incorrect invoicing address or any problem caused by the Customer relating to the payment of the order, the Company reserves the right to block the order until the dispute has been fully resolved.

e)     Order confirmation

As soon as the Customer's payment has been accepted, the Customer will receive an e-mail confirming the order, summarizing all the essential characteristics of the order (order number, items ordered, total amount, billing and delivery address and delivery date, etc.) and containing (or enabling the Customer to download or print) the GTCS (failing which, the Customer is invited to contact the Company's customer service department).

The validation of the order by the Customer and the confirmation of the order sent to the Customer by e-mail by the Company after acceptance of payment constitute the conclusion of a sales contract between the parties and acceptance of these GTCS.

Consequently, the Customer formally accepts the use of electronic mail for confirmation by the Company of the content of his order.

The Company invites the Customer to keep this summary on an electronic medium.

It is possible that certain e-mails may be qualified as spam. The Company therefore advises customers to check their spam folder to ensure that they have not received any confirmation or summary of their order.

The Company reserves the right, however, not to validate an order for legitimate reasons, including but not limited to :

-        previous abusive claims ;

-        abnormal order quantities ;

-        abusive exchanges and returns ;

-        existing dispute(s) with the Customer.

GERARD DAREL's Customer Service Department is available to answer any questions the Customer may have about the order.

f)      Order archiving

• By the Company : in Mainland France (including Corsica), French overseas departments and territories

As soon as the order is available at the relay point, the Customer is immediately informed by e-mail. The Customer then has ten (10) working days to collect the order from the relay point concerned.

When picking up the order at a relay point, the Customer must present the e-mail indicating that the order has been made available, as well as a valid form of identification. The Customer's identity will then be verified. The order will then be handed over to the Customer.

Delivery to French overseas departments and territories and other countries is at the Customer's expense. It is specified that for other destinations, the amount of these charges varies according to the delivery method and the place of delivery of the order. This amount is indicated and made known to the Customer at all stages of the order process.

The delivery methods offered to the Customer vary according to the delivery address.

d)      Delivery time

The Company will do its utmost to ensure that the order is delivered within the delivery time indicated. In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the Company is unable to meet the delivery date indicated, the Company will inform the Customer and the Customer will have the choice of confirming his wish to be delivered on the new delivery date proposed, or cancelling the order without charge or penalty (in this case only, the Customer will be refunded the amount of his or her order).

In the event that the invoicing information provided by the Customer is incomplete or erroneous, the Company may request the Customer to provide additional information, which may extend the delivery time, without the Company being held liable in this respect.

In addition, the Customer is informed that during periods of high activity (particularly sales periods, end-of-year festivities, outlet etc.), parcel preparation times may be extended, which may result in their dispatch being delayed by a maximum of one week. In such cases, the Company undertakes to do its utmost to satisfy the Customer and thanks him for his understanding.

Delivery is considered to have been made:

• when the Customer or any third party designated by the Customer signs the order acknowledgement at the delivery address specified in the order ; or

  
  

• at the time when the Articles are deposited in a relay selected by the Customer for mainland France (including Corsica).

e)      Delivery problems

Any failure or delay in delivery, or in the availability of relay point Products for mainland France (including Corsica) only, which exceeds the expected delivery times (those indicated by the Company and within the limit of thirty days) must be reported to eshop@gerarddarel.com as soon as possible. In such cases, the Customer may request a new delivery date or cancellation of the order.

In any event, the Company declines all responsibility for any failure or delay in delivery due to force majeure as defined in article 12 of the GTCS.

If the order cannot be delivered for reasons attributable to the Customer (in particular due to an error in the delivery address), the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel the order at the end of a period of thirty (30) days following the initially scheduled delivery date.

Where applicable, the Company reserves the right to invoice the Customer for any additional transport costs incurred as a result of the Company's inability to deliver the order.

In the event of a shortage, refusal or return of an Item by the Customer under the above circumstances, the Company will proceed with the reimbursement of the Item(s) concerned upon receipt of your returned package and after verification by the Company's Customer Service Department.

It is specified that the above provisions do not deprive the Customer of the benefit of the right of withdrawal as provided for in Article 8 below.

In accordance with current legislation, and in particular articles L.221-18 to L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer has a period of fourteen (14) days following receipt of the Product to exercise his right of withdrawal, without having to justify his decision or incur penalties. The Company has extended this legal period by sixteen (16) days, enabling the Customer to exercise his right of withdrawal within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Products (this period begins the day after receipt of the Product, and if it expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day).

In the case of an order for several Products delivered separately, or in the case of an order made up of multiple batches or parts whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, the lead time runs from receipt of the last Product in the batch or the last part.

To exercise his right of withdrawal, the Customer is invited to notify the Company in writing of his decision to withdraw, before the expiry of the aforementioned withdrawal period, by means of an unambiguous statement (in particular using the standard withdrawal form attached to the GTCS). To do so, he/she may send a letter to the Company at the address given below, an e-mail to eshop@gerarddarel.com or use the online procedure described on the Site in the "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions).

The Company will reimburse the Customer for the said amount within fourteen (14) days following the date on which it was informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw. This reimbursement may be deferred until the Company has received the Products returned by the Customer, or until the Customer has sent proof of dispatch of the Products to the Company, whichever comes first.

It is specified that the refund will be made according to the method of payment used by the Customer at the time of ordering. In the event of payment with a voucher generated from our second-hand platform, the Customer will receive a voucher of equivalent value.

Please note: The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for contracts listed in articles L. 221-2 and L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, in particular:

-  Supply of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance has begun after the consumer's express prior agreement and express waiver of his right of withdrawal, when the service has been fully performed by the Company;

- Supply of goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized;

- Supply of goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

- The supply of goods which have been unsealed by the consumer after delivery and which cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection;

- The supply of goods which, after delivery and by their nature, are inseparably mixed with other products.

Products sold by the Company are subject to the conditions of the legal guarantee of conformity provided by articles L.217-1 to L.217-17 of the French Consumer Code and to the conditions of the legal guarantee against hidden defects provided by articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code.

Should the Customer discover a lack of conformity and/or hidden defect, he/she must inform the Company as soon as possible by one of the means of contact mentioned in the preamble. The Company will inform the Customer of the procedure to follow for returning the Products.

a) Warranty of conformity

The Company undertakes to deliver to the Customer a Product in conformity with the contract and free from defects of conformity at the time of delivery of the said Product, in the sense that the Product will be fit for the use usually expected of a similar good and that it will have the characteristics described at the time of sale.

The Company is also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when the latter has been made its responsibility under the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility.

The Customer:

-          has a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery of the Products to make use of the warranty with the Company, it being specified that the Customer does not have to prove the date of appearance of the defect. Defects of conformity appearing during this period are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

-          can choose :

a)       the repair of the Product, it being specified that once the Product has been repaired, the Customer benefits from a six (6) month extension of its warranty of conformity OR

b)      replacement of the Product, in which case the replaced Product benefits from a new legal warranty period of two (2) years

unless one of these two choices is impossible or involves a manifestly disproportionate cost for the Company within the meaning of Article L.217-22 of the French Consumer Code, in which case the Company may choose the other solution.

Repair or replacement will take place within no more than thirty (30) days of the Customer's request.

OR

in the event that (1) the Company refuses to comply, (2) compliance takes longer than thirty (30) days, (3) the failure to comply is serious, or (4) compliance by the Company is unsuccessful:

-          have the price paid refunded and return the Product or

-          keep the Product and have part of the price refunded.

Total or partial reimbursement will be made no later than fourteen (14) days following the Customer's request.

The Customer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract if the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the Customer is not obliged to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

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

Any period during which the Product is immobilized for repair or replacement suspends the remaining warranty period until delivery of the repaired Product.

It is specified that the repair, replacement or reimbursement of the Product will take place at no cost to the Customer and does not preclude the possible award of damages in the event that the Customer is entitled thereto.

The Customer may bring an action before the French courts within five (5) years of the discovery of the defect in the event that the Company has not complied with the Customer's request.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.

A seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).

b) Warranty against hidden defects

The Company undertakes to deliver to the Customer a Product free from hidden defects (defects not apparent at the time of purchase) which would render it unfit for its intended use, or which would so diminish its use that the Customer would not have acquired it or would have given only a lesser price for it had he known of them.

The Customer:

-          must prove that he meets the warranty conditions:

a)       the Product has a defect that was not apparent at the time of purchase;

b)      the defect renders the Product unfit for its intended use or significantly reduces such use.

c)       the defect existed at the time of purchase.

-          has a period of two (2) days from the discovery of the defect in which to make use of the warranty with the vendor. It is specified that the defect may be discovered within 20 years of purchase.

-          can choose :

a)       return the Product and obtain reimbursement of the price and costs incurred by the sale

OR

b)      keep the Product and have part of the price refunded.

Disputes falling within the scope of article L.612-1 of the French Consumer Code are those defined in articles L.611-1 and L.611-2 of the French Consumer Code, i.e. disputes of a contractual nature, concerning the performance of a contract for the sale or supply of services, between a consumer and a professional.

The text covers both national and cross-border disputes.

The Customer is invited to make his request by :

-          post to :

CM2C

Centre de la Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de Justice

4 Rue Saint-Jean

75017 Paris

-          by email: cm2c@cm2c.net 

After a consumer has first approached the Company in writing, the CM2C may be called upon to deal with any consumer dispute for which no settlement has been reached.

The Customer may also request out-of-court settlement of the dispute on the European online dispute resolution platform accessible via the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home2.show&lng=FR

It is specified that the Customer remains free to accept or refuse recourse to mediation and, in the event of recourse to mediation, each Party is free to accept or refuse the solution proposed by the mediator.

In the absence of an amicable solution or recourse to mediation, the French courts will have territorial jurisdiction to hear any dispute arising from these GTS, unless otherwise provided by law, which would refer to the imperative jurisdiction of a foreign court, and without depriving the Customer of the right to bring the dispute before a competent foreign court of his choice.

These GCS are governed by French law, to the exclusion, where applicable, of the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods, without however depriving any user of the level of protection provided by the provisions of the mandatory laws of the country of his habitual residence.
