ARTICLE 2 – ORDERING GOODS AND CONCLUDING THE ONLINE SALE

2.1 ORDERING GOODS AND SERVICES

The order refers to the purchase commitment made by a Customer online, by telephone, or at the Company's premises. Online validation of the order or the signing of a purchase order (excluding online sales) between the Company and the Customer constitutes proof of the order. 

Online confirmation of the order or signing of a purchase order (excluding online sales) constitutes firm and definitive acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. 

The Customer is solely responsible for choosing the services and/or goods/parts for which they place an order, and for ensuring that they are suitable for their needs, such that the Company cannot be held liable in this regard. 

The Company may, at its discretion, offer temporary commercial offers that may be subject to specific conditions, which are brought to the Customer's attention prior to placing an order. These offers may be withdrawn or modified at any time by the Company, which cannot be held liable for the modification or withdrawal of an offer.

Only the items (price, goods/parts and/or services ordered, manufacturing times, delivery) indicated on the order form are contractual. 

2.2 COMPLETING THE ONLINE SALE

Placing an order on the website https://lesmarieesdejulie.com is subject to compliance with the procedure established by the Company, which is detailed as follows (steps):

1. Enter the website address;
2. Follow the instructions on the website. 
3. Fill out the order form. In the event of prolonged inactivity during the connection, it is possible that the goods/parts selected by the Customer prior to this inactivity may no longer be available. The Customer is then invited to restart their selection from the beginning;
4. Check the order details and, if necessary, identify and correct any errors by clicking on the “Update” box.
5. After reviewing the total price and the all-inclusive price, confirm the order by clicking on the “order” box (the “order confirmation”);
6. Follow the instructions on the online payment server to pay the all-inclusive price.

The Customer will then immediately receive electronic confirmation of acceptance of payment for the order, as well as an acknowledgment of receipt summarizing and confirming the order (the “order confirmation”).

To this end, the Customer formally accepts the use of email for order confirmation by the Company. The Company cannot be held liable for any harmful consequences resulting from the Customer providing an incorrect email address.

A delivery note will be included in the package, summarizing the order once again.

In accordance with Article L. 121-11 of the French Consumer Code, the Company reserves the right to refuse an order for legitimate reasons, in particular if the order is abnormal, placed in bad faith, or if there is a dispute with the Customer regarding payment for a previous order.

2.3 PLACING AN ORDER

Contractual information is presented in French and is confirmed at the latest when the Customer confirms the order.

Some offers may be available for a limited time only, which will be specifically advertised. As stocks are limited, you will be notified when the product is out of stock when placing your order.

Products are offered while stocks last, as specified when the order is placed. As stocks are limited, any items that are out of stock will be marked as such. However, in the event of an error regarding the availability of the item, Les Mariées de Julie undertakes to refund the Customer. Certain offers may be available for a short period of time, which will be specifically announced. As stocks are limited, any items that are out of stock will be indicated when the order is placed.

The Products offered are those listed in the catalog published on the website and which have undergone quality control. They strive to present all of their characteristics through photographs and a description sheet based on data provided by the manufacturer. Les Mariées de Julie undertakes to make every effort to describe the products as accurately as possible. However, Les Mariées de Julie cannot be held liable for any errors or omissions in this presentation. The main characteristics of the Products, in particular the specifications, illustrations, and indications of dimensions or capacity of the Products, are presented on the website.

The Customer is required to read these terms and conditions before placing an order. The choice and purchase of a Product is the sole responsibility of the Customer. The Customer is required to refer to the description of each Product in order to understand its essential properties and characteristics.

The Customer acknowledges that the photographs on the website cannot perfectly reflect the appearance of the Product. The actual visual impression may differ very slightly from that of the photograph, particularly with regard to colors; the Customer acknowledges that Les Mariées de Julie cannot be held liable on this basis.

The sale shall only be considered final after Les Mariées de Julie has sent the Customer confirmation of acceptance of the order by email and after it has received payment in full.

Under no circumstances may an order be placed by professional sellers, either individually or collectively, to meet the needs of their commercial activities, regardless of how their products are marketed. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that Les Mariées de Julie reserves the right to refuse an order that is clearly placed by a professional seller, based on the number of products ordered in a single order and the number of individual orders placed for the same product compared to the usual quantity purchased by an average consumer.

ARTICLE 3 – PRICES OF GOODS/PARTS AND SERVICES

The goods/parts and services sold are provided at the Company's rates in effect on the date the order is confirmed and accepted by the Customer or on the date the order form is signed by the Customer.

The prices applicable to the sale of goods/parts or the provision of services are subject to change at any time by the Company, without prior notice or warning. Only the price indicated on the order form is contractual.

In the event of a specific or additional request from the Customer concerning the terms and conditions of sale or the development, design, fitting, or alteration of one or more Items, duly accepted by the Company, the related costs will be subject to specific additional invoicing, based on a quote previously accepted by the Customer. 

Unless otherwise stated, these prices do not include shipping costs, which will be indicated in addition to the price during the ordering process and before the Customer confirms their order.

The Customer expressly acknowledges that providing information relating to their credit card authorizes the Company to debit their credit card for the amount corresponding to the all-inclusive price of the goods and items that were validated in the Order.

In accordance with Article L. 132-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code, a commitment to pay made by means of a bank card is irrevocable.

The transaction is immediately debited from the Customer's credit card after verification of the card details and receipt of debit authorization from the issuer of the credit card used by the Customer. In the event that the all-inclusive price cannot be debited, the online sale will be immediately refused as of right and the order will be canceled.

The Company takes all necessary measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of data transmitted on its websites.

Payments for purchases are made via the secure platform of its partner: Stripe.

Consequently, the recorded data shall remain confidential, except in cases where it may be used as proof of transactions carried out.

Except in special cases, the Products ordered will be delivered in a single shipment.

Any advance of the date indicated on the order form after signature will result in a surcharge.

The Customer can track the progress of their order using the tracking number provided by email.

The delivery costs are indicated after the shopping cart has been validated and are subject to the Customer's approval before each order is confirmed.

Except in special cases or if one or more Products are unavailable, the Products ordered will be delivered in a single shipment.

ARTICLE 6 – FITTINGS AND ALTERATIONS  

6.1 SHOWROOM ORDER (excluding online sales)

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Maison Les Mariées de Julie offers two (2) fittings included in the price of the standard order (excluding online sales) as indicated on the order form. 

A third fitting may be offered to the customer at the discretion of Maison Les Mariées de Julie if and only if the Company deems it necessary, particularly based on the initial fit and pattern of the dress.

Les Mariées de Julie reserves the right to impose its own fitting dates in accordance with the requirements of its sewing workshop, in order to streamline the work of its seamstresses. Brides-to-be agree to make themselves available and to respect the fitting dates imposed by Maison Les Mariées de Julie. In the event of the customer's absence or a late postponement without prior confirmation from our workshop, Maison Les Mariées de Julie reserves the right not to carry out the requested alterations and/or modifications.  

The Customer also agrees to wear their final shoes during the first fitting.

The Parties agree that the second fitting (and possibly the third) is intended for minor alterations and finishing touches to the garment before delivery. Consequently, no further alterations will be accepted after the second or third fitting without an additional charge (for alterations rather than adjustments to the dress), provided that Les Mariées de Julie considers that the dress fits perfectly and complies with the original pattern.

Fittings may result in alterations carried out by Maison Les Mariées de Julie. 

Any changes to the dress (significant deviation from the model agreed upon during the first appointment) will result in an increase in the price of the Order.

The bride-to-be may also choose not to have her alterations done at Maison Les Mariées de Julie. In this case, the Customer will benefit from a single fitting (the second appointment in the process) to check that the dress made complies with the initial order and the prototype tried on. 

The item will therefore be paid for by the Customer and delivered after this single fitting. 

Alterations to collections ordered from the showroom and online store are not included in the sale price displayed on the website. The Toulouse workshop does not carry out alterations on ready-to-wear collections. 

All requests for appointments at the Les Mariées de Julie showroom must be made by message (website form, social media), or by telephone.  

Appointments are only available for fittings of custom-made wedding dresses. 

ARTICLE 7 – STAGES OF IMPLEMENTATION 

7.1 SHOWROOM ORDER (excluding online sales)

For standard orders (excluding online sales), Maison Les Mariées de Julie specifies that the items in the showroom are made in standard sizes. Measurements will be taken when the order is placed. 

The dress will then be made in the standard size that most closely matches the measurements of the bride-to-be. 

The chosen size must be approved by the Customer and signed off on along with the measurements at the same time for validation. 

Any changes to the style will be subject to an additional charge and must be indicated on the order form, signed by both Parties. Any additions made during the manufacturing process will be subject to a new additional quote. 

Any style changes requested by the Customer may be refused by Maison Les Mariées de Julie before or after the order form and these Terms and Conditions have been signed.

ARTICLE 13 – FORCE MAJEURE

Les Mariées de Julie cannot be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of the services results from a case of force majeure, as defined in Article 1218 of the Civil Code.

The Parties agree that, in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code and the interpretation thereof by case law, force majeure results from an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, preventing the debtor from performing its obligation. 

The Parties agree in particular that an epidemic or pandemic, as well as legislative or regulatory changes resulting from developments in the health situation, constitute force majeure when such an event has the characteristics described above.

In the event of such a force majeure event, the performance of services will be suspended until the force majeure event has disappeared, ceased, or ended.

The suspension of services shall in no case be grounds for liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it give rise to the payment of damages or late penalties. 

The performance of services shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event if it is temporary. The suspension of services resulting from a temporary force majeure event shall not give rise to any refund of sums received by Maison Les Mariées de Julie in respect of the Customer's order. Once the force majeure event has ceased, Maison Les Mariées de Julie shall use its best efforts to resume the normal performance of services as quickly as possible. 

However, if the force majeure event persists beyond a period of thirty (30) days, the parties must meet to discuss a possible amendment to the contract.
In the absence of an agreement between the parties within thirty (30) days and if the force majeure event persists, each Party shall have the right to terminate this contract automatically, without any compensation being due by either party.

However, if, upon the occurrence of the force majeure event, it appears that the delay justifies the termination of this contract, it shall be terminated automatically and the parties shall be released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code. 

Termination by operation of law due to force majeure may only take place upon receipt of a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt in accordance with Article 15 of these GTC or any other extrajudicial act. This notification must expressly mention the intention to apply this clause.
