The order is successfully completed if it has been confirmed by la Maison Delvaux with a confirmation e-mail. This confirmation e-mail does not yet constitute the acceptance of the customer's order by la Maison Delvaux. All orders are subject to availability and acceptance. We reserve the right not to accept an order. Such non-acceptance may result, for example, from the fact that (i) products are shown on the Website but are no longer available; (ii) products shown on the Website contain a manifest price error; (iii) we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment; (iv) shipping restrictions apply to a product. We will inform you about the inability to supply the products without undue delay and will reimburse you immediately for any sums which have already been paid for the unavailable products.
The purchase contract is deemed to have been concluded when you receive a confirmation from la Maison Delvaux that the products have been shipped to you.

We aim to deliver your order within a delay of 3 to 5 working days after your order. If, for any reason whatsoever, the products are not delivered within 30 days of the order confirmation email, you are entitled to cancel the contract and be refunded for any amounts paid to you.
Delivery times vary depending on the type of product you order, the availability of the product, your delivery address and the delivery method you choose. Delivery dates are indicative and shall not be regarded as strict deadlines. When you order a product in "pre-order" the delivery time will be extended or at least be different from a product already in stock. La Maison Delvaux may therefore provide for a different delivery timeframe depending on whether certain products have been pre-ordered and whether certain products are in stock at the time of the pre-order.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your will to return the products before the withdrawal period has expired. The return is successfully completed if it has been confirmed by la Maison Delvaux with a confirmation e-mail.
The right of withdrawal and the possibility to return the products does not apply to the supply of products made to our client’s specifications or clearly personalised.
La Maison Delvaux will pay the return costs. You will be able to return the products by using the DHL services and by following the return process as described in your package. You will also find in your package a return label that you will just have to stick on your return package. If you lose your return label, you can contact our client service at the following address : clientservice@delvaux.com.
The products must be returned in the same condition as they were delivered. You are only liable for any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature and characteristics of the products. You must ensure that the products are intact, that they have not been used, worn or damaged in any manner whatsoever. We reserve the right to refuse the return of products which have been damaged or deteriorated or which are in a condition that clearly shows that they have been used for purposes other than the controls which are strictly necessary for the evaluation of the nature and characteristics of the products.
In addition, all of our products are sold with a security label and seal. Any product returned to us without a label or seal will not be refunded.
If you return your products we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which we will have received the products in return. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
You must inspect the products at the time of delivery and notify any lack of conformity or defects in writing without undue delay. This notice shall be deemed to have been made without undue delay if it is sent within five working days after delivery or, if the defect was not apparent during a normal inspection, no later than within three working days after the defect has been detected. If you fail to provide such notification, the products shall be deemed to be approved by you.
In the event of a non-conformity or defect in the product, you are entitled to request the repair of the defect or the replacement by another defect-free product. We are entitled to refuse the repair or replacement requested by the customer if such repair or replacement would result in unreasonable costs. If the product cannot be repaired or replaced within a reasonable period, you are entitled to cancel the sales agreement, reduce the purchase price or claim damages, in each case in accordance with applicable law.
This warranty does not affect your legal right as a consumer pursuant to articles 1649bis et seq. of the Belgian Civil Code or any mandatory statutory right that you may have based on local national law.

Except as provided in these Terms and Conditions, any use or reproduction of the Intellectual Property is prohibited.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, either party’s liability is limited to losses which are typical of this type of contract and which were foreseeable at the time the sales contract was concluded. These Terms and Conditions do not purport to exclude or limit either party’s responsibility for loss or damage where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes any responsibility for death or personal injury caused by the responsible party’s failure to use reasonable care and skill; or for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Neither la Maison Delvaux, nor the customer shall be held liable to the other party for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms and Conditions if such delay or failure is due to an event beyond the reasonable control of such party including, but not limited to, the following events: strikes or labor disputes, embargo, epidemic, disease, natural disasters, governmental provisions, wars, fires, floods, explosions or popular movements. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this article authorises the customer not to fulfil its payment obligations. The existence of a force majeure event shall justify the suspension of the obligations of the party affected by force majeure. If such period of delay exceeds sixty (60) calendar days from the date of commencement of the force majeure event, then either party may terminate the applicable order immediately upon written notice to the other party.

The parties agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same effect as would have been achieved by the invalid or unenforceable provision.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed and construed in accordance with Belgian law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Products.
