Terms and conditions of sale

This page tells you the terms on which we supply the products ("Products") listed on our website www.mariablois.com ("our site"). Please read these terms carefully before placing an order for any Product on our site. By placing an order for any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you refuse to accept these terms, you will not be able to order any Product from our site.

1. Your status

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts and that you are at least 18 years of age.

2. How the contract is formed between you and us

After you place an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to purchase a Product. All orders are subject to our acceptance and, if we accept your offer, we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming that the Product has been dispatched ("the Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation, and it will be deemed to incorporate these terms.

The Contract relates only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have formed part of your order unless and until dispatch of those Products has been confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation.

3. Right of withdrawal

You may cancel a Contract at any time within ten days from the day after you receive the Product. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Product in accordance with clause 8.

To cancel a Contract, you must email us at info@mariablois.com. You must return the Products to us within ten days, in the same condition as you received them and in accordance with our Returns Policy (Returns and Repairs >). You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession.

Please note that your order can only be cancelled before it is dispatched from our warehouse. If the warehouse has already processed or dispatched your item, we cannot cancel it, but you have 28 days to return the order to us and once received we will issue a full refund.

You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of Products made to your specifications or clearly personalised or which, by their nature, cannot be returned.

This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

4. Availability and delivery

We offer Products for sale which are in stock and available for dispatch. From time to time, however, we may be waiting for stock. Accordingly, you may from time to time be offered the opportunity to pre-order certain Products. The delivery time will be stated on the site and payment will be completed upon ordering. This will ensure that you receive the Product in priority once we have received stock. Your rights in respect of such Products are the same as for any other Product purchased from our site. In the unlikely event that the Products you have ordered and paid for are not available, you will be offered a full refund.

Please note that Products are not reserved for you while they are in your shopping basket.

Delivery takes place when we or our delivery agent leave the Products at the address you specified for delivery when you placed your order. We will normally ask for a signature from someone at that delivery address.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, your order will be fulfilled on the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation.

5. Risk and title

Title to the Products will be transferred to you on the later of the following dates:

(a) the date on which we receive full payment for such Products; and

(b) the date and time of collection of said Products for delivery to the address you designate

Once you have received a Product, all risk of damage to or loss of the Product will pass to you. In the event that you choose to have the Product collected by a third party on your behalf from DeMellier, all risk of damage to or loss of the Product will pass to you upon collection of such Product.

In the event that a Product is subsequently imported into a country/region other than the country/region to which we delivered the Product or the store from which you collected the Product, you shall be responsible for complying with all local import requirements, laws, regulations and rules and for paying all import taxes and duties that may be applicable with respect to the same.

All purchases made on the website are for personal use and we reserve the right to prohibit individuals from purchasing in bulk or for commercial resale.

6. Price and payment method

The price of any Product will be as indicated on our site, except in cases of obvious error.

These prices include VAT (where applicable) and duties and taxes (where applicable), as well as shipping costs, except for orders under €250 outside the EU and under €500 in the rest of the world.

International prices are calculated according to the current exchange rate between the EU currency on our website and the local currency of the specified shipping destination. We reserve the right to update such exchange rates regularly at our sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect the prices of products on the website.

Prices are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a pricing error.

7. Our refund policy

When you return a Product to us:

(a) because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the ten day cooling-off period (see clause 4.1), we will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of the day on which you gave us notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, excluding the cost of delivering the Product (where applicable). You will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us (unless otherwise stated in our Returns Policy (Returns and Repairs >).

(b) for any other reason (for example, because you claim that the Product is faulty), we will examine the returned Product and, if you are entitled to a refund, we will notify you of your refund within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process any refund due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of the day on which we confirm to you by email that you are entitled to a refund. Products for which you are entitled to a refund due to a defect will be refunded in full, including reimbursement of the cost of delivery to send the Product to you (where applicable) and the cost incurred by you in returning the Product to us (where applicable).

(c) In the event that a Product is subsequently imported into a country/region other than the country/region in which we delivered the Product or the store where you picked up the Product, we reserve the right to refuse the return. We do not accept returns or issue refunds on orders where shipping rates, customs and/or sales taxes differ from those applied at the original shipping location.

We will generally refund any money received from you using the same method you originally used to pay for your purchase.

8. Our responsibility

We warrant to you that any Product you purchase from us through our site is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all purposes for which products of this type are commonly supplied.

Our total liability for losses you suffer as a result of our breach of this agreement, any tort committed by us (including negligence) or our breach of statutory duty is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased.

Nothing in these terms in any way limits or excludes our liability (a) for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; (c) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (d) for any matter for which it would be unlawful for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our liability.

We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses, or any losses arising as a side effect of our wrongdoing (whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise), including, without limitation, (a) loss of income or revenue; (b) loss of business; (c) loss of profits or contracts; (d) loss of anticipated savings; (e) loss of goodwill; or (f) loss of use.

9. Import tariff

If you order Products from our site for delivery outside the EU, they may be subject to import duties, taxes and brokerage fees which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties, taxes and fees. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for more information before placing your order.

Please note that if the shipped items were returned because the recipient is not willing to pay the applicable local taxes/import duties, the delivery address is incorrect, or there is no one to accept the package, we are unable to refund the shipping costs, customs charges, and return shipping charges incurred by us. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding shipping to your country.

Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country to which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any failure by you to comply with such laws.

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications we send to you be in writing. By using our site, you agree that communication with us will be primarily electronic. We will contact you by email or provide you with information by posting notices on our website. For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12. Transfer of rights and obligations

The contract between you and us is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assigns. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of your rights or obligations under it, without our prior written consent.

13. Events beyond our control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event").

Our performance under any Contract is deemed suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the Force Majeure Event to an end or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

14. Resignation

If we fail to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of those rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with those obligations. Our waiver of any breach will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

No waiver by us of any of these terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with clause 12.

15. Divisibility of the terms

If any of these terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such terms shall, to that extent, be severed from the remaining terms. The remaining terms shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16. Complete Agreement

These terms represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and supersede any prior agreements, understandings or arrangements between us, whether oral or written.

Each of us acknowledges that, in entering into a Contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or implied from anything said or written in the course of dealings between us prior to such Contract, except as expressly stated in these terms.

Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any misrepresentation made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any Contract (unless such misrepresentation was made fraudulently), and the other party's sole remedy in respect of any misrepresentation shall be for breach of contract as provided in these terms.

We have the right to review and modify these terms from time to time. You will be subject to the policies and terms in effect at the time you order Products from us, unless:

(a) any changes to those policies or these terms must be made by law or governmental authority. In that case, the change will apply to orders previously placed by you; or
