RENDEZ-VOUS STORE is a service of SARL ANONYME whose registered office is at 6 rue Bouquières in Toulouse / RCS 811236637.
It is previously specified that these terms and conditions (hereinafter: “the Conditions”) below exclusively govern the use and sales by internet of RENDEZ-VOUS STORE located on the web address www.rendez-vous-store.com
These Conditions are intended for a consumer who has full legal capacity. These Conditions apply to all purchase and sales agreements entered into by visitors to our website (hereinafter: “the Customers”). If you visit our website or place an order with us, this means you agree to these Conditions. Please note that these Conditions may be amended over time. It is therefore important that the Customers always read them carefully as there might be new rights and obligations added.
These general conditions are presented in French and in English.
Security
Payments via RENDEZ-VOUS STORE are subject to a security system. The Eshop has adopted SSL (Secure Soket Layer) to encrypt credit card details. To protect the Customer against possible intrusion, the Vendor doesn’t save credit card numbers on computer servers. The credit card numbers are processed by the French bank Banque CIC which returns us an authorization number. When the Customer place an order, he/she can immediately verify the validity of the security by clicking the lock icon that appears in the URL line of the browser window when SSL is enabled.
Cookies
Cookies are used by RENDEZ-VOUS STORE to improve your experience while browsing and using the website. Cookie identifies the Customer’s computer and allows the website to remember personal settings. RENDEZ-VOUS STORE will not work properly when cookies are disabled in your web browser.
Warning
The ambition of RENDEZ-VOUS STORE is that the website is always operational except unforeseen or unpredictable circumstances.
If a Customer places an order, this means that he/she explicitly agrees to abide by these Conditions, including all statements and components such as the Confidentiality Agreement and the Exchange & Return Policy. An automatic email will be sent to you immediately confirming that you have successfully placed an order on RENDEZ-VOUS STORE. If the Customer does not receive any such e-mail, he/she can request it at eshop@rendez-vous-store.com. Agreements between the Vendor and the Customers are validly formed after a valid payment has been effected through the Eshop’s payment platform, or the automatic order confirmation email mentioned previously.
The Vendor has done all in its efforts to ensure that all the product-related information, including price, colors, size, stock, descriptions of the items, is as accurate as possible. Each product is accompanied by a product description, which can be found in « Detail » and includes color, measurements of model’s size, composition, country of origin, etc., and digital photographs. However, due to the screen settings of different devices the Customers used for viewing the products, the colors or the texture of the textile of the products presented on the RENDEZ-VOUS STORE may differ from the actual products. The Vendor cannot guarantee that the Customers’ screens are able to reproduce all features of the actual product correctly.
The Vendor cannot guarantee a total absence of any errors on the RENDEZ-VOUS STORE. The information that appears on the website may contain typographic and other errors concerning products, prices and products in stock. The Vendor cannot be held liable for the consequences of any such errors. The Vendor is entitled to correct any errors or inaccuracies on the RENDEZ-VOUS STORE without being obliged to provide any kind of prior communication in this connection. If any of product-related information stated previously are not displayed correctly on the website, or if these have been incorrectly incorporated into the invoice, the Vendor likewise reserves the right to amend or cancel an order free of charge. It goes without saying that in such an event, the Vendor will immediately notify the Customer thereof. The Customer may then terminate his/her purchase free of charge if wished.
The mere statement of the stock available cannot give rise to any rights and obligations for the Vendor, which always does all in its power to ensure that the available stock is verified and correctly entered in the Eshop. In the unlikely event that the item ordered is no longer in stock, the Vendor will immediately notify the Customer of this, and the sales and purchase agreement will be terminated free of charge due to the relevant item being unavailable. In the case of an order relating to limited stock products, the Vendor reserves the right to limit the purchase of a certain quantity of five (5) maximum when the stock level is higher than 5 or less than the total availability of the same product to each customer.
Each Party is entitled to cancel a purchase in the event that the other Party has fundamentally breached these Conditions.
Price
All prices on RENDEZ-VOUS STORE are indicated in euros.
The price of each product includes 20% VAT and other applicable taxes for French Customers. Customers from the European Union are subject to payment of the price including the VAT percentage and other taxes applicable in the destination country of the shipment of the products bought on the RENDEZ-VOUS STORE website. The VAT percentage of the country to which the customer chooses to ship the products will be added automatically at the time of payment.
Customers from other unstated regions/ countries shall not pay such VAT and other applicable taxes on RENDEZ-VOUS STORE. The VAT and other applicable taxes will be automatically removed after completing the « CHECKOUT » page and passing to « PROCEED TO PAYMENT ». However, the Vendor is not responsible for any form of customs duty or other taxes/tariffs that may apply after the items are dispatched. It is the Customers responsibility to verify whether the ordered products are eligible for import to his/her country or not before placing the order.
Prices do not include postage and packaging charges. The prices stated are valid on the date on which they were posted on the website and on the date on which an order is placed. These prices may be subject to change during the course of the season. If items are priced down or any discount applies to the items after an order is placed, the Customer cannot claim any repayment of the relevant price difference or terminate the relevant sales transaction.
Payment
After the Customer has placed an order, he/she will be redirected to a secure payment page on the Vendor’s website, and will be requested to effect payment for the purchase. The Customer will receive order confirmation on the screen and by email the moment when the payment has been effected.
RENDEZ-VOUS STORE accepts and limits payment by VISA, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, and other credit/ debit cards. Full payment shall be charged to valid the dispatch. Payment is made on the secure banking servers of our partner Banque CIC. This implies that no banking information about the Customer passes through our site. All transactions are encrypted and 100% secure.
In the event of a refund, the Vendor will credit the relevant amount to the card or bank account used to effect payment. The Vendor is not responsible for any fluctuations in the exchange rate between the currency used to effect the first payment and the currency used on the Customer’s credit card or bank account when the relevant amount is refunded.
Orders
As a company who tries to be more responsible for our planet, the Vendor strongly insists the Customer confirm his/her choices (size, color, style etc.) before placing the order to avoid unnecessary transportation or packaging for exchanges or returns. Please feel free to contact our online customer service if there is any confusion or any questions at eshop@rendez-vous-store.com (Monday to Friday, C.E.T. 10:00 to 17:00, closed on national holidays).

RENDEZ-VOUS STORE reserves stock and price variations due to technical difficulties (detailed in paragraph Warning and Price). The Customer will also receive a notification of dispatch of the order when it has been processed and shipped (detailed in paragraph Supply & Dispatch).
Supply & Dispatch

Exchanges, returns and refunds
* IMPORTANT *
- Items from past seasons, LAST PIECES or FINAL SALE are not eligible for any refunds or exchanges. All orders placed during the FINAL SALE period shall be deemed to be placed with the consent and acceptance of this condition.
- Returns of jewelry, fragrance and intimate apparel will not be accepted.
- Shop credit will be issued as a form of coupon which can be only applied for once during the valid dates and cannot be refunded after application. In case of expiration, the coupon will be considered invalid and cannot be reactivated.
To proceed to exchange or return, items must be in their original condition with no damage, sign of usage or washing, no tear, stain, alteration to the product, no smell or perfume, and they must be sent back in the original parcel box/ bag with no missing elements, including, but not limited to original packaging, dust bag, spare shoelaces, price tags, brand labels etc. Failure to do so will result in refusal of the parcel and the return being shipped back to the Customer. The Vender reserves the right to refuse any return that does not comply with the rules stated above.
Items returned without our confirmation will not be accepted and will be returned to you at your expense. Any requests or returns falling outside of the above time frame ( 7 & 14 days) will not be accepted. The Customer will be informed of this by email.
Items are returned at the Customer’s own risk and expense. The Vendor can therefore not be held liable for refunds for items that have been lost, stolen or damaged. It is up to the Customer to prove that the relevant package was sent back to us. If the package is returned in a damaged condition, the Vendor must immediately send an email to the Customer in order to ensure that it is not held liable for this.
For parcels returned to us due to higher than expected customs fees, the Vendor reserves the right to refund the transaction less to cover the costs incurred.
How to make a return
- After the confirmation of return, the Vendor will send the Customer the Exchange/Return Form. The Customer is required to fill it out and add it inside of the parcel.
- For French orders, the Customer can choose any shipping company to return the parcel.
- For orders from any other regions/countries other than France or European Union, the Customer needs to indicate which item(s) he/she would like to return in the email of request for confirmation of return. The Vendor will generate export documents accordingly for non-European returns, which are obligated to be attached with the waybill for customs clearance. Failure to do so will result in refusal of the parcel and the return being shipped back to the Customer.
- The Vendor could provide a prepaid express label (recommended). The fee shall be deducted from the refund. Export documents are not required to be printed with the prepaid label as they are included in the label.
- For exchanges, the prepaid return shipping fee (from the Customer to the Vendor) shall be paid by PayPal or Bank Transfer.
- In any case, returns must be received at the Vendor’s warehouse within 7 calendar days since the confirmation date.
- After the acceptance and parcel check, the Vendor will send the exchange once we receive the payment of prepaid return shipping / issue the refund to the Customer’s payment account in approximately 2 working days. It will take 3 – 5 working days to appear on the account. If not, please feel free to contact our customer service.
