Applicable law / Disputes
Any order validated on the site E-commerce lip.fr is addressed to the company MGH official distributor of the brand Lip and implies the acceptance without reserve of these general conditions of sale. It is the responsibility of each customer, professional or individual, to read the general terms and conditions of MGH before placing an order.
Orders placed by customers residing in the French metropolitan territory, Corsica and D.O.M.-T.O.M., as in the case of international sales, French legislation will apply. In the event of international sales, for all matters not governed by French law and these general terms and conditions of sale, the parties agree to refer to the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980.
The products offered for sale comply with French regulations. If necessary, it is the responsibility of the foreign customer to check with the local authorities the possibilities of use of the product he intends to order; MGH cannot be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the regulations of a foreign country where the product is delivered.
The parties will attempt to resolve amicably disputes of any nature or disputes relating to the formation or execution of the sale. Failing agreement, only the courts of MGH's headquarters will have jurisdiction.
Product presentation
The characteristics of the products offered for sale are presented on the website www.lip.fr (hereinafter referred to as "the site"). The photographs do not fall within the scope of the contract. MGH cannot be held liable if errors have occurred.
MGH reserves the right to make any modification it deems useful to its products at any time, and without obligation to modify products previously delivered or ordered, it reserves the right to modify without prior notice the models in the descriptions of the site.
Validity and duration of offers
Our products are offered for sale until stocks run out. We pay particular attention to removing any product from our website in the case of its production stoppage. Sales generated with a promotion that should not have applied due to a technical problem could not be honoured if the exclusion of the said promotion on a product, range or minimum or maximum price had been clearly expressed.
The price of the products
The selling prices of the products on the site are in Euros (possibility to convert to Dollars), all taxes included and excluding any delivery costs. Any delivery costs are at the customer's expense and are invoiced in addition to the selling price of the products and services, if any. Shipping costs vary according to the number and type of products ordered. The customer will always be informed before the final registration of his order of the delivery costs related to his order, and payment will be requested from the customer for the total amount of the purchase. Thus, the choice and validation of a payment method by the customer implies that the latter agrees to pay the related delivery costs. Delivery costs cannot therefore constitute a valid reason to question the order after its final registration.
Ordering
The customer validates his order when he activates the "VALIDATE" link on the "Secure Payment by Credit Card" page. He then implicitly accepts the order process and these general terms and conditions of sale.
The company MGH confirms the order by e-mail; this confirmation includes all the elements of the order. The data recorded by MGH constitutes proof of the nature, content and date of the order.
