For all shipments outside of France, the Customer must first send an email to MADAME MELON at contact@madamemelonparis.com, mentioning the products he/she is interested in as well as the country of origin, via the MADAME MELON contact form in order to obtain an estimate of the shipping costs. Additional costs such as customs services and VAT may be applied to the Customer when the package arrives in his country. MADAME MELON cannot be held responsible for this.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that longer delays may apply to the delivery of the Product(s) due to the fact that the Product(s) is (are) shipped overseas and that MADAME MELON shall not be held responsible for said delays.

It is specified that the Orders registered on the Site on a public holiday other than Friday, Saturday and Sunday are also processed on the next working day.

This deadline may vary depending on the availability of the Products ordered, as an Order may be subject to several successive deliveries.

MADAME MELON shall not be held responsible for any delays in delivery and shall not be liable for any damages incurred or withheld.

9.3. Resolution of the contract

In accordance with the provisions of Article L 138-2 of the Consumer Code, in case of failure by MADAME MELON to deliver the Product on the date or at the end of the period indicated, or, failing that, no later than thirty days after the conclusion of the contract, the Customer may cancel the contract.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that, after this period, the products delivered will be deemed to be in conformity and accepted by the Customer, and MADAME MELON reserves the right to refuse the exchange or refund.

Any request for resolution of the contract by the Customer must be made by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

The cancellation of the contract entails the obligation for the Customer to return the Product to MADAME MELON, and any return by the Customer must be made under the conditions provided for the right of withdrawal in Article 8 of these Terms and Conditions.

In the event of abnormal or abusive returns, MADAME MELON may refuse to service a subsequent Order.

9.4. Receipt of the Product(s)

The Customer may be asked to provide proof of identity or any other required documents at the time of delivery of the Product(s). Any refusal or failure by the Customer to provide the required documents may lead to the cancellation of the sale by MADAME MELON.

Without prejudice to the period available to the Customer under his right of withdrawal defined in Article 8 above, it is the Customer's responsibility to check shipments on arrival and to make any reservations and claims that would appear justified, or even to refuse the package, if it is likely to have been opened or if it bears obvious traces of deterioration.

The Client acknowledges and accepts that the risks are transferred upon delivery of the Product(s) to the delivery address indicated by the Client when placing the Order.

Any reservations or claims must therefore be made to the carrier at the time of delivery. The Client is therefore invited to check the condition of the package and the Products it contains upon delivery.

In the case of a delivery outside the EU zone, the client may have to pay, at his or her own expense and upon receipt, all taxes, duties and fees in force in the country concerned.

The client is informed that MADAME MELON is the guarantor of the defects of the goods sold.

When acting in legal guarantee of conformity and as detailed below, the Customer :

has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
can choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the conditions of cost provided by Article L. 211-9 of the Consumer Code;
is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the 6 months following the delivery of the goods. This period is extended to twenty-four months from 18 March 2016, except for second-hand goods.

It is recalled that the legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may be granted by the manufacturer.

The Customer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, the Customer can choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the civil code.

All products sold by MADAME MELON benefit from the legal guarantee, provided that the use has been normal and that the maintenance advice has been followed.

The Customer benefits from the guarantee of conformity and the guarantee of hidden defects, in accordance with the provisions of articles L 211-4, L 211-5, L 211-9, L 211-10, L 211-11 and L211-12 of the Consumer Code, as well as articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code.

Article L211-9 of the Consumer Code:

In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing or replacing the goods.

However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other option, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

Article L211-10 of the Consumer Code:

If the repair and replacement of the good are impossible, the buyer can return the good and have the price returned or keep the good and have part of the price returned.

The same option is open to him:

If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon in application of article L. 211-9 cannotbe implemented within one month following the buyer's complaint;

Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer given the nature of the goods and the use he is seeking.

The resolution of the sale can not be pronounced if the lack of conformity is minor.

Article L211-11 of the Consumer Code:

The application of the provisions of articles L. 211-9and L. 211-10 shallbe without cost to the Buyer.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code:
