3.1 Products description

The Products offered for sale by GUERLAIN are those presented on the Website at the date of connection of the Customer, within the limits of available stocks. GUERLAIN reserves the right to withdraw Products from sale at any time.

GUERLAIN puts the utmost care in the presentation of the Products on the Website. However, pictures illustrating the Products shall only be for information and are not contractual.

Indeed, while GUERLAIN makes its best efforts to ensure that the color of the Products – whose photos are displayed on the Website – are faithful to the original, variations may occur (including slight differences in colors and proportions), particularly given the technical limitations of color renderings of computer equipment. In particular, when using the “Personalize” option, the presentation of the Products comprising the personalization options selected by the Customer under a 3D mode shall not be contractual as is it likely to slightly differ from what the final Product will be. Consequently, GUERLAIN shall not be responsible if the Product varies from those images. The packaging of Products may vary from that shown in images on the Website.

For any question or concerns regarding the order and appropriate use of Products, the Customer may contact GUERLAIN Customer Service via the contact form available on the Website.

3.2 Products availability

The Products displayed on the Website are offered for sale within the limit of available stocks. GUERLAIN does not guarantee the availability of the Products. In the event of the unavailability of one or several Product(s) after an order is completed, GUERLAIN will inform the Customer at the earliest by email or telephone of the unavailability of the Product(s) and the partial or full cancellation of his/her order.

Should the order be totally cancelled for unavailability, the Customer’s order shall be automatically cancelled, and his/her bank account will not be charged.

Should the order be partially cancelled for unavailability:

• - The Customer’s order will be validated, and his/her bank account will be charged only with the amount of the Products actually sent,
• - The Customer will be informed at the earliest by email or telephone of the unavailability of the Product(s) concerned,
• - The Customer will receive the available Products.

3.3 Product personalization service

GUERLAIN offers a personalization service for some Products (more detailed in article 6.2 1 below) which notably includes the possibility for the Customer to engrave a bottle of perfume. The engraving content must not be defamatory, abusive, illicit or discriminatory. In such event, GUERLAIN reserves the right to cancel the corresponding order.

The Customer also has the possibility to fill the chosen perfume bottle with the scent of his/her choice. Once the bottle is empty, the Customer has the possibility to come back to a GUERLAIN Parfumeur Boutique located in his/her country (if any in his/her country) - which are the only GUERLAIN Boutique which offer this service to have the bottle refilled with the same fragrance. Please note that this service does not include the possibility to return the empty bottle to have it filled and sent back. The Customer must physically move to a GUERLAIN Parfumeur Boutique to have the bottle refilled. GUERLAIN reserves the right to double check the perfume which were initially put in the bottle to ensure that no interconnection occurs between different sent. The Customer must also ensure GUERLAIN that no other product of any substance has been placed in the bottle. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide GUERLAIN with correct information. GUERLAIN cannot be held responsible if the refill is based on misleading information.

The personalization service also includes, for the Bee Bottles, the possibility to choose to put a bow on the bottle. The Customer can choose the color of the cord and the way it is tied.

For the 100 and 200 ml l'Art & la Matière eau de parfum bottles , the Customer can have the bottle engraved and choose the color of the cord, the tassel as well as a collection plate to be fixed on the bottle cap, different from the standard plate with which the bottle is initially sold. The Customer is offered this personalized plate by GUERLAIN. The Customer may also choose to personalize the stopper of the 100 and 200 ml l'Art & la Matière eau de parfum Bottle with an exceptional plate or a jewelry plate at the current price available on the Site.

In addition, if the Customer wishes to purchase new plates, he or she may go to one of the Boutiques in the Guerlain network and purchase them at the current price displayed in the Boutiques. They may also choose to take advantage of the refilling service offered in the Boutique at the current rate displayed in the Boutiques.

All Products prices are firm. Prices are given in euros all taxes included. The price in force is the one indicated for each Product on the Website. These prices include all taxes applicable on the day of the order but exclude any delivery costs, which will be charged additionally and will be specified to the Customer prior to the order being finalised.

Delivery costs will be indicated to the Customer before the validation of the order. The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale provide various delivery methods, which may be modified at any time by GUERLAIN.

For any delivery, the Products are delivered by DPD and the delivery costs are fixed at the amount stated on our Website from time to time.

If the order or the missing product has not been delivered after the indicated delivery date the Customer shall write to GUERLAIN via the contact form available on the Website.

If the delivery is not carried out within a reasonable additional time, the Customer has the possibility to cancel the Contract by making a statement to that effect, by any means including telephone, email, post or using the contact form available on the Website. The Contract shall be deemed to be cancelled upon receipt by GUERLAIN of the Customer's request informing of his/her decision (unless GUERLAIN has performed in the meantime).

According to the provisions of the EU Directive n° 2011/83/UE of 25 October 2011, for any reason whatsoever the Customer may exercise his/her right to cancel within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Customer’s receipt of the parcel. If GUERLAIN sends to the Customer multiple products from one order in separate parcels, these fourteen (14) days will start to run on the date the Customer receives the last parcel forming part of his/her order.

However, according to the above-mentioned EU Directive, no return of personalized Product will be accepted by GUERLAIN unless they are damaged or they do not correspond to the options of personalization selected by the Customer.

To exercise his/her right to cancel, the Customer must make a clear statement to that effect, whether this be by telephone, email, post or using the contact us form on the Website. The Customer may also use the Model Cancellation Form produced at schedule 1 of these General Terms and Conditions (although he/she is not obliged to do so).

GUERLAIN shall acknowledge receipt of the cancellation without delay by sending an email to the Customer.

As from the exercise of his/her right to cancel, the Customer shall have an additional fourteen (14) days period to return the Products ordered.

Unsealed, open and/or used products shall not be accepted for return for hygiene and health protection reasons.

The Customer must return the Products in perfect condition and in original packaging, unopened, so that the Products can be remarketed, following the procedure described on the delivery form attached to the parcel.

If the Customer is entitled to return Products under the conditions above, the Customer may return his/her order free of charge via Colissimo by using the Colissimo label. To obtain this label the Customer need to contact Guerlain’s customer service via the contact form available on the website (subject: online purchases), or by phone: +33 1 47 48 80 79. If the Customer does not return his/her order via Colissimo, GUERLAIN will be unable to reimburse the Customer for the cost of making the return, except in case of a non-conformity of the Products delivered with the ordered ones (in such case, costs of return shall be borne by GUERLAIN). The Customer shall be responsible for any and all risks linked to the return of the Product(s). The Customer may follow his/her parcel via the tracking link sent in the Order confirmation email to avoid any inconvenience in case of loss or theft of the Products during the return transport.

If the above conditions are fulfilled, GUERLAIN shall reimburse to the Customer the total amount paid at the order of the returned Products, using the same manner as the payment for the order, excepted the costs of return, within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the return voucher, or – at the latest – from the most recent of the following dates: the day on which GUERLAIN receives the returned Products, or the day on which the Customer provides GUERLAIN with proof of expedition of the Products concerned by the exercise of the Customer’s right to cancel, whichever of these days occurs first.

In the event that the Customer has expressly chosen a method of delivery more expensive than the standard delivery method proposed by GUERLAIN, the additional costs shall not be reimbursed and shall be borne by the Customer.

In case of a partial return of Products, the sole price of the returned Products shall be reimbursed by GUERLAIN excluding the delivery costs, insofar as the Customer has benefited from the delivery service for the items kept and the delivery rates do not change depending on the volume ordered.

GUERLAIN guarantees that all the Products are conform to the use for which they are expected and present no defaults or hidden defects that render them dangerous or unsuited to their normal use.

When relying on the legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer shall:

• - Benefit from a two (2) years period from the Product delivery to bring an action;
• - Have the possibility to choose between repair or replacement of the Product, unless that choice results in a clearly disproportionate cost in relation to the other possibility, considering the value of the Product or the importance of the defect. GUERLAIN undertakes to proceed, unless it is impossible, according to the Customer’s choice;
• - Not be required to provide with proof of a non-conformity during the twenty-four (24) months following the Product delivery.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies regardless of the commercial guarantee potentially offered to Customer.

If the Customer decides to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the products sold, he/she may choose between the cancellation of the contract or a reduction of the selling price.

In the event of a lack of conformity of the Product delivered, the Customer have the possibility to return said Product to GUERLAIN, in its original condition, necessarily bearing the original labels and accompanied by the original packaging and the delivery voucher, informing GUERLAIN beforehand via the contact form available on the Website.

Failing the foregoing, GUERLAIN shall not proceed neither to the repair nor to reimbursement of the defective Product returned.

In the event that the return of the defective Product was well founded, GUERLAIN shall replace or reimburse the defective Product and the delivery costs, excluding any other compensation. Should the Customer’s choice has a clearly disproportionate cost with respect to the other possibility, GUERLAIN shall proceed to the other possibility.

Under no circumstances shall repairs or replacements be requested and/or done in-store.

With the exception of the above assumptions, no replacement or repair of Product shall be accepted.

GUERLAIN shall only be held liable for due care. Only the Customer shall judge whether the Products ordered are appropriate and adapted to his/her needs and consumption.

GUERLAIN shall assume no liability if the Customer uses the Product(s) without complying with their instructions for use.

Before placing an order, the Customer declares his/her full legal capacity entitling him/her to transact according to the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale. GUERLAIN shall assume no liability as to the confirmation of the Customers or visitors’ legal capacity. As a result, if a person who does not have legal capacity orders Products on the Website, his/her legal guardians shall assume responsibility of such order and, in particular, honor its payment.

GUERLAIN makes no warranties that the Website will be available on an uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free basis. Especially, GUERLAIN shall not be held liable for:

• - Interruptions, malfunctions, or delays recorded on the Website due to technical failures, because of third parties or any circumstances beyond GUERLAIN’s reasonable control.
• - The impossibility or temporary inability for the Customer to access the Website, due to circumstances which are beyond GUERLAIN’s control, such as computer breakdown, interruptions of the telephone network, the Internet, or the failure of the Customer's reception equipment for the Internet.

GUERLAIN shall not be held liable for (i) the loss or alteration of or fraudulent access to the Customer’s personal data, (ii) the accidental transmission of viruses or other disruptive components resulting from the access to the Internet or email communications.

Without limiting any other provisions of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, GUERLAIN shall only accept liability for a fault which is duly proven and exclusively attributable to GUERLAIN. Liability is strictly limited to direct damages. GUERLAIN reserves the right to suspend access to the Website at any time.

For any information, complaints or question relating to the terms and conditions of sale on the Website or to the Products, Customers shall contact GUERLAIN's customer service via the contact form available on the Website, when appropriate by using their order number.

GUERLAIN shall not be held liable for improper performance or partial or total non-performance of the obligations hereunder, if this is due to the Customer, or any unforeseeable and unsurmountable act of a third party, or a case of force majeure as defined by caselaw. These events shall justify the interruption and/or extinction of GUERLAIN’s obligations, without the Customer being entitled to any compensation or damages.

Any and all intellectual property rights attached to the Products presented for sale on the Website are and shall remain the exclusive property of GUERLAIN. All rights are exclusively reserved. Therefore, no one is authorized to reproduce, exploit, disseminate or use in any way, even partially, said intellectual property rights, unless GUERLAIN’s prior written consent has been obtained. GUERLAIN's trademarks and logos are registered trademarks. Consequently, any reproduction is an infringement.

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the order summary communicated to the Customer and the order confirmation email constitute the entire agreement between the Parties. These are the sole binding and enforceable contractual documents between the Parties, excluding any other document or photograph of the Products which shall only be considered as indicative.

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the contractual relationship between GUERLAIN and the Customer shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of France unless local law is of public order or more favorable to the Customer. All disputes or differences that may arise in connection with or in relation to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, or in connection with the relationship between the Parties, shall be first submitted to a consumer mediator. Should no amiable settlement be reached, any disputes will be submitted to and definitively settled by the Courts of France.

Even if GUERLAIN delays in enforcing the Contract, it can still enforce it later. If GUERLAIN does not insist immediately that the Customer does anything he/she is required to do under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, or if GUERLAIN delay in taking steps against the Customer in respect of he/she breaking the Contract, that will not mean that the Customer does not have to do those things and it will not prevent GUERLAIN taking steps against the Customer at a later date.
