1. Field of application

2. Acceptance of terms and conditions

As required by French law in the French Consumer Code, the “Code de la consommation”, the terms are accessible any time to the Buyer of on our website at https://lespetitestailleuses.fr/en/pages/conditions-generales-de-vente.

No order can be placed by the Buyer without accepting these terms, which prevail over all other conditions, except those expressly accepted by the Seller.

The Seller reserves the right to modify these conditions at any time. The terms and conditions applicable at that time are those in effect at the date of payment of the order. The Seller also ensures that their acceptance is clear: when placing an order, the Buyer has to click on the bow entitled “I have read and I accept the terms and conditions”. By ticking this box, the Buyer confirms he/she has read the terms and that he/she accepts them without reservation.


3. Orders

Orders are automatically recorded by the website. These records only will establish proof of all the transactions.
When an order is placed by the Buyer, an email is sent to the address he/she gave during the order process. This email officially confirms the sale. The information given by the Buyer during the order process is under his/her responsibility as to its accuracy.

Les Petites Tailleuses reserves the right to cancel any order from a Buyer with whom there is a dispute regarding the payment of a previous order.


4.Price

The only valid currency on www.lespetitestailleuses.fr is euro (€ EUR).

Euro prices are firm, excluding taxes (VAT not applicable article 293 B of the CGI). For physical products (clothing), they do not take into account shipping costs which will be charged in addition and specified to the Buyer during the final validation of the order. For digital products (patterns), there are no extra fees, except for the possible fees charged by the Buyer’s bank, for which Les Petites Tailleuses is not responsible.

The Seller reserves the right to modify its prices.  


5. Payment

The final price is the one that appears on the order confirmation.

Les Petites tailleuses only accepts upfront payments, made by the means provided on the website.


6. Receiving your patterns

The sewing patterns conceived by Les Petites Tailleuses are only sold in a dematerialized format. When an order is complete, the Buyer receives an email with a link he/she should follow to download the ordered products. These are zip files containing pdf files.

By accepting the general conditions of sale, the Buyer agrees not to share either the link or the files he/she has purchased, to any person, whether for free or for payment. The sewing patterns he/she has bought are exclusively for his/her own personal use.


7. Delivery

We will do our best to ship the order as soon as possible from the day of receipt of payment (between 2 and 21 days). The delivery is sent to the address given by the Buyer when ordering. This one is carried out by La Poste (Colissimo) with a tracking number. An email will be sent to the Buyer with the tracking number once the order is shipped. The delivery time may vary according to the number of orders in progress.

Les Petites Tailleuses declines any responsibility in case of delay in delivery due to the postal services, as well as in case of loss of the ordered products. Any anomaly concerning the delivery must be notified to Les Petites Tailleuses the same day of the reception, or at the latest the first working day following the reception. 

Duties fees are to be paid by the Buyer, whatever the country of importation. They are not listed on our website. 


8. Right to cancellation

According to French law (Consumer code, section 6, clause L221-28), the sale of digital content on an immaterial support is in no case concerned by the right of withdrawal, insofar as the Buyer acknowledges renouncing this right.

Given the digital nature of the products, and the impossibility for the Buyer to guarantee the return to the Seller and/or the deletion of any occurence of the purchased and downloaded files on his/her own computer equipment, the Buyer acknowledges that he/she waives his/her right of withdrawal as he/she downloads the purchased products.

However, if the Buyer wishes to cancel and obtain a refund of his/her order, and it’s established that he/she has not proceeded to any download, he/she may contact the customer service via the contact form available at www.lespetitestailleuses.fr/contact. Under these conditions, the Buyer has 14 days to do this, in line with French law.

For physical products (clothing), the buyer has a period of 7 working days to return the ordered item if it does not give him full satisfaction. After this period, we will not be able to offer a refund or an exchange. The quality of each item is checked before shipping. 

To make an exchange or a return, write to us at contact@lespetitestailleuses.fr. For an item to be returned or exchanged, it must be unused and in the same condition as you received it. It must not be worn, washed or stained. It must be returned in the original packaging. This does not apply to custom sizes, which cannot be refunded. Upon receipt of your item, we will send you an email to inform you if the item can be returned and/or refunded. Please note, however, that order shipping and return shipping costs are not refundable. If your return request is approved, your refund will be processed as soon as possible. 


9. Responsibility

Les Petites Tailleuses can’t be held responsible, under any circumstances, for any damages of any kind which may arise due to a person using the products incorrectly. The Buyer is the only one responsible for the files received, and cannot  ask for their replacement if he/she loses or accidentally deletes the files.


10. Applicable law

Les Petites Tailleuses is a French company, and French law is the only applicable law.

For any dispute or claim, the Buyer should first refer to Les Petites Tailleuses. In the event that an amicable solution is not reached, the Buyer should seek legal action.

Les Petites Tailleuses cannot be held responsible for the non-respect of laws or legal provisions in force in other countries than France. Its responsibility is limited to the amount paid by the customer, in line with French law.

Only the French version of these terms are valid. The English translation is here for information only.
