These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the "GTCS") create a contract between the customer ("Customer", "you" or "your") and Marie Martens. The Customer is a final consumer, a natural person (not a company) with full legal capacity placing an Order on the site for any use other than professional use, resale or distribution. An "Order" is defined as the commitment to purchase all the Items selected by the Customer via the Site's e-commerce service. The "Items" are the fashion products offered for sale on the Site.
All purchases for professional use, resale or distribution are strictly prohibited, and any person who does not fall within the definition of Customer should contact Marie Martens Customer Service at the following address: [email protected] for further information.
Please read these GTC carefully to ensure that, as a Customer, you correctly understand each of its provisions. By placing an order on the Site or by any other means offered by Marie Martens, you agree to be contractually bound to Marie Martens and to be bound by the provisions of these GTS and the Privacy Policy of Marie Martens , which apply generally to all use of the Site. Thus, the validation of an Order following the ordering procedure proposed on the Site implies acceptance of the GTC and the associated fees.
Marie Martens reserves the right to modify these GTC at any time and at its sole discretion, taking into account possible changes to the Site and regulations. The new GTC will, where applicable, be brought to the attention of the Customer by online modification. The GCS applicable to any sale are those appearing on the Site at the time the Order is placed.
These GCS prevail over any other document.
ARTICLE 2 - ITEMS AND AVAILABILITY
The Items offered for sale are those shown on the Site on the day the Customer consults the Site, subject to availability. We reserve the right, at any time, to withdraw any product offered for sale on the Site.
Information concerning the availability of Items is updated automatically in real time. However, Marie Martens cannot be held responsible for any error in updating, whatever its origin. In this respect, Marie Martens cannot be held responsible for the cancellation of an Order for an Item due to the exhaustion of stocks. In the event of unavailability of an Item, after placing an Order, the Customer will be informed by e-mail, and the Order will then be automatically cancelled. We will then propose a new delivery date, an equivalent product or a refund for the Article.
The characteristics of the Articles sold on the Site (photographs, descriptions of the Articles ....etc.) may vary over time. Only the characteristics of the Article displayed at the time of the Order shall be taken into account by the Customer. In the event of errors or omissions relating to the description of an Item, Marie Martens 's liability is limited to the reimbursement of reasonable costs incurred by the Customer in returning the Item.
ARTICLE 3 – ORDERING PROCESS
3.1- Prerequisites
The placing of an Order on the Site is subject to compliance with the procedure set up on the Site, comprising successive stages leading to the validation of the Order. It implies an obligation to pay.
In order to place an Order for Products on the Site, the Customer is hereby informed that he/she must:
Be at least 18 years of age;
Be legally capable of purchasing the products ordered;
Be the holder of the bank card used to pay for the Order or, failing this, be duly authorized to use it to pay for the Order.

3.2 - Ordering process
The Customer may select as many Items as he/she wishes, which will be added to the shopping basket (the "Basket"). The Shopping Cart contains a summary of the Items selected by the Customer, together with the related prices and charges. The Customer may freely modify the Basket before validating the Order. Validation constitutes proof of the Customer's validation of the entire Order and of the due date of the sums due in execution of said Order, as well as full and unreserved acceptance of the entirety of the present Terms and Conditions and of the quotation relating to the Order.
A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the Customer. To this end, the Customer formally accepts the use of e-mail to confirm the content of his/her Order and to receive his/her invoice by electronic means.
The Order is only definitive once the Customer has paid the Order price in full.
If the Customer does not receive an e-mail following his/her Order, it is the Customer's responsibility to contact the Marie Martens customer service department in accordance with the procedures described in article 15 of the General Terms and Conditions. Marie Martens cannot be held responsible in the event of a data-entry error or transmission of a data-entry error that prevents the delivery of the confirmation e-mail and/or the Articles.
For any questions relating to the follow-up of an Order, the Customer should consult his/her Account on the Site or contact customer service as described in article 15 of the GCS.

Any new taxes or contributions, in particular environmental taxes, are likely to be passed on to the sale price of the Articles.
Marie Martens reserves the right to modify the prices of the Articles at any time, the Articles being invoiced on the basis of the rates in force at the time of validation of each Order, subject to availability.
The price of the Articles invoiced to the Customer is the price indicated in the Order confirmation sent to the Customer by e-mail.
The price is payable in full, in a single instalment only.
The Articles remain the property of Marie Martens until full payment has been received by the latter.
Marie Martens makes every effort to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices appearing on its site are accurate, but errors may occur. If an error is found in the price of the Items the Customer has ordered or the charges associated with their purchase, Marie Martens will inform the Customer as soon as possible by e-mail and give them the choice of re-confirming the order at the actual price or cancelling it.
If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the Order process, we will cancel the Order and inform you in writing.
If we mistakenly accept your Order and process it despite an error in the quoted prices or delivery charges, we may cancel the supply of the product and refund any monies paid by you. Please note that changes to the law in force between the date of placing your Order and the date of receipt of a written Order and Shipping Confirmation may alter the taxes associated with your Order. If the resulting change results in an increase in the taxes charged to you, we will contact you and ask you to reconfirm your Order.
ARTICLE 5 – PAYMENT TERMS

Marie Martens cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage occurring during transport, and the Customer is therefore advised to use a tracked shipping service. In the event of loss or damage in transit, the Customer should contact the carrier directly.

If the Items are not received at the address indicated above, Marie Martens will not be able to process the return.

If the Customer fails to comply with the GTC, Marie Martens will not be able to reimburse the Articles concerned.

This return and refund procedure is exclusive of any exchange.
For information In case of purchase of low-priced items in the OUTLET section, all sales are final: no exchange, no refund, no cumulation with other discounts. Thank you for your understanding!
ARTICLE 9 - LEGAL WARRANTIES
Item non-conform to the order or defective
The presence of an apparent defect on an Article must give rise to a complaint by e-mail ([email protected]). Any complaint must explain the defect concerned. Failing this, no complaint is admissible and no return or exchange is possible.
The Article must be returned, in its original packaging with the bar code, new with the references of the initial Order and a copy of the complaint to Marie-Moi's head office after sending an e-mail indicating the apparent defect of the Article referred to above.
In the event of an apparent defect, depending on the content of the Customer's complaint, either a credit note will be issued to the Customer, or the Article will be replaced, or the Customer will be reimbursed outright within 14 (fourteen) days. If the return procedure is not followed, no exchange, refund or credit note will be issued.
In addition, Marie Martens guarantees consumers against defects in conformity (Articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and hidden defects (Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code) for Items sold on the Site under the following conditions:
9.1- Non-compliance
The Customer:
benefits from a period of 2 (two) years from delivery of the Article to bring an action for lack of conformity of the Article;
is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 6 (six) months following delivery of the Article; and
may choose between repair or replacement of the Article, subject to the cost conditions provided for in article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code.
If repair or replacement of the item is impossible, and in particular if the item is no longer available in stock at the time the customer claims that the item is not in conformity, the buyer may return the item and have the price refunded, or keep the item and have part of the price refunded.
9.2- Hidden defects
The Customer may invoke the legal warranty for latent defects in the item sold, as defined in articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code, in the event that a latent defect, prior to the sale and inherent in the item sold, renders the item unfit for its intended use, or so diminishes this use that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, had he known of it.
The latent defect must be a defect that an item, even a used item, should not have. Thus, the warranty for hidden defects cannot be retained when the defect is only the result of normal wear and tear of the item or of its prolonged use, or when the defect comes from misuse of the item.
The legal warranty for hidden defects allows the Customer, within a period of 2 (two) years from the discovery of the defect, either to keep the item and ask for a reduction in the price, or to return the item and ask for reimbursement of the price paid, in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
ARTICLE 10 – RESPONSIBILITY
Marie Martens cannot be held responsible for the delay or non-execution of the Order if this is due to a technical cause or any other cause beyond its control. In this case, the site is entitled to delay transport and delivery, or to cancel the Order.
Marie Martens declines all responsibility in the event that the product delivered does not comply with the legislation of the country of delivery.
Marie Martens cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect damage that may result from access to or use of the Site and/or its information, including inaccessibility, loss of data, deterioration, destruction or viruses that may affect the customer's computer equipment and/or the presence of viruses on the Site.
