2. Scope
The purpose of these GTC is to define the rights and obligations of PÔMESSE PARIS and any consumer (hereinafter the “Client”) in connection with the online sale of products offered on its website (hereinafter the “Site”).
They apply without restriction or reservation to all orders placed on the Site by Clients residing in mainland France, French overseas territories or any other country of the European Union, for delivery within these areas or internationally under the conditions specified.
Any order implies full and complete acceptance of these GTC. The Client acknowledges having read the GTC before validating the order and declares that they have understood and accepted them without reservation.
The applicable GTC are those in force on the date of the order, as published on the Site.
They may be amended at any time by PÔMESSE PARIS, with the new provisions applying to orders placed after they have been published online.
Each version is archived for ten (10) years from the date of the order. For any order amounting to or exceeding one hundred and twenty (120) euros, Pômesse Paris ensures the retention of the written document evidencing the contract for the legally applicable period and guarantees the Client access to it upon simple request sent to support@pomesse-paris.com.
In the event of any contradiction between the GTC and any other document appearing on the Site, the GTC shall prevail. The GTC, as well as all contractual information mentioned on the Site, are drafted in French.
Use of the Site is also governed by the General Terms of Use (GTU) and the Legal Notice, which are separate from these GTC and may be consulted on the Site.
________________________________________
3. Products
The products offered for sale on the Site are described and presented as accurately as possible. Each product page mentions in particular:
• the essential characteristics of the product, including texture, use, function, ingredients and precautions for use;
• the full INCI composition for cosmetic products and the list of ingredients for food supplements;
• the directions for use, storage conditions and any specific warnings, where applicable.
PÔMESSE PARIS ensures that its products comply with the applicable French and European regulations, including in particular:
• Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products;
• Directive 2002/46/EC on food supplements;
• Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims;
• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ISO standards in force within partner laboratories.
The photographs, visuals and texts appearing on the Site are provided for illustrative purposes and have no contractual value.
Any differences in the perception of colours or rendering shall not incur the liability of PÔMESSE PARIS. In the event of discrepancy, the information appearing on the packaging shall prevail for regulatory notices, precautions for use and safety information. For other contractual information, including price, availability and terms of sale, the information displayed at the time of the order shall prevail.
Products are offered subject to availability. Certain products may be offered as promotional packs. The value of the products included in such packs is calculated on the basis of the unit price in force on the date of the order.
In the event of temporary or permanent unavailability after validation of the order, the Client will be informed by email as soon as possible.
The Client may then:
• either maintain the order for deferred shipment, if the product becomes available again within the announced timeframe;
• or receive a full refund of the amount corresponding to the unavailable product, within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days using the payment method used to place the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be refunded by another means;
• or exchange the unavailable product for a product of equivalent value.
PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to withdraw any product from sale at any time or to modify its presentation without notice, provided that such modifications do not affect orders already validated.
________________________________________
4. Purpose of the products and conditions of use
The products sold on the Site are intended exclusively for personal and non-professional use.
They may not be resold, redistributed or used in an institutional or medical context without the prior written authorisation of PÔMESSE PARIS.
The Client undertakes to use the products in accordance with their intended purpose and with the instructions appearing on the packaging and the product page.
Any misuse, non-compliant application or inappropriate storage is the sole responsibility of the Client.
It is the Client’s responsibility, prior to using the products, to ensure their compatibility with their health condition, any medical conditions, allergies or medical treatments. PÔMESSE PARIS shall not be held liable in the event of inappropriate use or use incompatible with the Client’s health condition, provided that the necessary information appeared on the packaging or on the product page.
In order to ensure normal use of the Site, prevent abnormal or abusive orders and prevent any purchase for professional purposes, the total amount of an order may not exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500) euros including tax per transaction.
PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to cancel any order that appears abnormal in terms of quantity or frequency, or whose elements suggest collective, commercial or fraudulent use. Any order cancelled by PÔMESSE PARIS pursuant to this clause will be fully refunded to the Client within fourteen (14) days using the payment method used at the time of the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be refunded by another means.
________________________________________
5. Price
The prices displayed on the Site are indicated in euros, all taxes included (TTC), excluding delivery charges.
The total amount of the order, including the price of the products and any delivery charges, is specified before final validation by the Client.
Prices take into account the VAT applicable in France on the date of the order.
In the event of a change in the legal VAT rate, this may be reflected in the prices without notice.
Pômesse Paris reserves the right to change its prices at any time. Products are invoiced on the basis of the price in force at the time the order is validated.
In the event of a manifest pricing or display error resulting from a technical or human malfunction, Pômesse Paris reserves the right to cancel any order. The Client will be informed and fully refunded the sums paid using the payment method used at the time of the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be refunded by another means. A price that is manifestly derisory or unrelated to the actual value of the product constitutes a manifest error.
Promotional codes and discount offers that may be offered by Pômesse Paris are subject to specific conditions, including validity period, minimum purchase amount, product restrictions or possible exclusions, as specified at the time of communication. They cannot be combined with each other unless otherwise stated and are never convertible into cash.
In the event of a manifest error affecting the application of a promotional code, including an incorrect discount level, unauthorised combination or technical malfunction, Pômesse Paris reserves the right to correct or cancel the erroneous discount, informing the Client accordingly.
For deliveries to certain French overseas territories, outside the European Union or to any destination subject to customs formalities, orders are shipped under the Incoterm® DAP — Delivered At Place.
Accordingly, Pômesse Paris organises the shipment of the order to the address provided by the Client, but any customs duties, import taxes, dock dues, customs clearance fees, carrier administrative fees, banking fees or any other charges required by local authorities or service providers remain exclusively payable by the Client.
These costs are not included in the product price or in the delivery charges displayed at the time of order, unless expressly stated otherwise. They are neither calculated nor collected by Pômesse Paris and cannot be refunded by Pômesse Paris.
In the event of refusal to pay import, customs or customs clearance fees resulting in the return of the parcel, any fees charged to Pômesse Paris by the carrier may be deducted from the amount refunded, within the limit of the sums actually incurred.
The different delivery methods and associated fees are detailed on the “Delivery” page of the Site and are recalled before validation of the order.
In the event of an exceptional variation in the cost of raw materials, transport or energy, Pômesse Paris may adjust its prices at any time. These changes will not apply to orders already validated.

6. Order
6.1 Order process

express acceptance of these GTC;
complete and accurate entry of the delivery and billing details;
validation of payment on the secure page.
Before final validation, the Client has the option to check and correct the information entered, including the delivery address and the contents of the cart, in accordance with Article 1127-2 of the French Civil Code. By clicking on the order validation button, the Client acknowledges that placing the Order entails an obligation to pay the indicated amount, in accordance with Article L221-14 of the French Consumer Code, and constitutes the conclusion of a firm sales contract.
A summary confirmation email is automatically sent to the Client once the order has been recorded.
This document constitutes an acknowledgement of receipt and proof of transaction.

Transactions are processed by a PCI DSS-certified provider.
The Client’s bank details are never stored by PÔMESSE PARIS.
The debit is made at the time the order is validated.
The order is considered final after confirmation of payment by the banking institution.
The Client accepts that the automatic recording systems of PÔMESSE PARIS, including technical logs, order histories and payment confirmations, shall constitute proof of the transactions carried out.

________________________________________
8. Delivery
Deliveries are carried out by Mondial Relay, Colis Privé, La Poste — Colissimo or Chronopost — or any other carrier offered when placing the order.
The available delivery methods, their rates and the associated indicative delivery times are indicated on the Site before validation of the order.
8.1 Delivery areas
Products may be delivered to the destinations offered at the time of the order, including mainland France, certain French overseas territories, the European Union and certain countries outside the European Union where logistics conditions allow.
The areas actually available may vary depending on carriers and the logistical, regulatory or customs constraints applicable at the time of purchase.
8.2 Preparation and delivery times
Orders are generally prepared within 24 to 48 working hours, excluding weekends and public holidays.
Once shipped, delivery generally takes place within an average of 1 to 4 working days in mainland France, depending on the delivery method chosen and the destination. These timeframes are given for information purposes only, as carriers are independent service providers whose delivery conditions may occasionally vary.
In accordance with applicable regulations, the order will be delivered no later than 30 days after validation, unless a specific timeframe is indicated at the time of the order.
In the event of a delay attributable to Pômesse Paris, the Client may request cancellation of the sale under the conditions provided by the French Consumer Code.
In the event of a delay attributable exclusively to the carrier, Pômesse Paris will take all useful steps to enable delivery as soon as possible.
Delivery to a pickup point or locker
Where delivery is made to a pickup point or locker, the parcel must be collected within the timeframe indicated by the carrier.
If the parcel is not collected within this timeframe, it may be automatically returned to Pômesse Paris.
No free reshipment will be made in the event of an unclaimed parcel. A new shipment may only be made after payment of the corresponding reshipment costs.
Unclaimed parcels that are returned may be refunded, excluding the initial shipping costs and any costs charged by the carrier for the return of the parcel.
8.3 Address and receipt
The Client must ensure that the delivery address is complete and accurate.
Any parcel returned due to an incomplete or incorrect address may be reshipped, with the reshipment costs remaining payable by the Client.
The transfer of risk occurs when the Client, or a third party designated by the Client, takes physical possession of the parcel.
The Client is invited to check the condition of the parcel upon receipt.
In the event of an anomaly — damaged parcel, missing product, incorrect reference — the Client is invited to contact Pômesse Paris as soon as possible, and ideally within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt, at support@pomesse-paris.com. This timeframe is intended to allow prompt processing of the request, without limiting the Client’s legal rights.
Where the carrier indicates that the parcel has been delivered, Pômesse Paris may request any useful evidence from the Client, including a sworn statement, a declaration of non-receipt or any information enabling an investigation to be opened with the carrier.
8.4 International deliveries and customs formalities
For deliveries to certain French overseas territories, outside the European Union or to any destination subject to customs formalities, orders are shipped under the Incoterm® DAP — Delivered At Place.
Any customs duties, import taxes, dock dues, customs clearance fees, carrier administrative fees, banking fees or any other charges required by local authorities or service providers remain exclusively payable by the Client.
These costs are not included in the prices displayed on the Site or in the delivery charges, unless expressly stated otherwise. They do not depend on Pômesse Paris and cannot be refunded by Pômesse Paris.
In the event of refusal to pay import, customs or customs clearance fees resulting in the return of the parcel, any fees charged to Pômesse Paris by the carrier may be deducted from the amount refunded, within the limit of the sums actually incurred.
Products may only be delivered to countries and territories where delivery is offered at the time of order and where the products may be lawfully shipped, imported and made available to consumers.
Pômesse Paris reserves the right to refuse, suspend or cancel any order intended for a destination where regulatory, customs, logistical or product-compliance restrictions prevent or materially affect the shipment, importation or delivery of the products.
In such case, the Client will be informed and refunded any sums paid for the cancelled order, using the payment method used at the time of purchase, unless the Client expressly agrees to another refund method.
8.5 Force majeure and independent delays
Pômesse Paris shall not be held liable for delays due to force majeure or any event reasonably beyond its control, including strikes, logistical disruption, natural disasters, war, pandemic, administrative decisions or exceptional disruption of transport networks.
________________________________________
9. Right of withdrawal
In accordance with Articles L221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the Client has a period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the order to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to provide any reason or pay any penalty, except for return costs, which remain payable by the Client unless the error is attributable to Pômesse Paris or the product is defective.
Where this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or non-working day, it is extended until the next working day.
9.1 Notification
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Client must notify Pômesse Paris of their decision by means of a clear statement expressing their wish to withdraw.
This statement may be made:
— by email to support@pomesse-paris.com, specifying the relevant order number;
— via the return form available on the Site, accessible from the footer under the heading “Request a return”;
— or by using the standard withdrawal form annexed to these GTC.
Where the Client uses the return form available on the Site, the Client may confirm the return request by means of a dedicated button that is clearly identified and unambiguous.
After validation of the form, an acknowledgement of receipt is sent to the Client by email. This acknowledgement of receipt summarises the content of the request as well as its date and time of sending, which shall serve as proof that the request has been duly received by Pômesse Paris.
This acknowledgement of receipt only confirms receipt of the withdrawal request. It does not prejudge the condition of the returned products, which will be checked after receipt of the parcel.
9.2 Return conditions
Products must be returned unopened, unused, unsealed, complete, in perfect condition and in their original packaging.
For reasons of hygiene and health protection, products that have been unsealed, opened or used after delivery cannot be returned, except in the event of a lack of conformity or hidden defect.
The Client may be held liable for any depreciation of the product resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the product, in accordance with Article L221-23 of the French Consumer Code.
Returns must be sent to the address provided by customer service, together with the order number, within a period of fourteen (14) days following the sending of the withdrawal request.
No return should be shipped before receiving the instructions sent by Pômesse Paris.
Return costs are payable by the Client, unless the error is attributable to Pômesse Paris or the product is defective.
In the event of a partial return of an order that benefited from a discount linked to the number of products purchased or to a minimum amount — including a bundle, conditional discount or conditional gift — resulting in the initial conditions of the offer no longer being met, Pômesse Paris may adjust the amount refunded. The discount initially granted will then be recalculated on the basis of the products actually kept by the Client.
Any gift offered subject to conditions must also be returned in its original condition. Failing this, its value may be deducted from the refund.
After inspection of the returned products, if the return conditions are not met, the products may be refused and returned to the Client at the Client’s expense.
9.3 Timeframe and refund
In the event of a valid exercise of the right of withdrawal, Pômesse Paris will refund the eligible returned products.
The refund will be made without undue delay and, in any event, within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days from the day on which Pômesse Paris is informed of the Client’s decision to withdraw.
Pômesse Paris may, however, defer the refund until the returned products have been recovered or until the Client has provided proof of shipment of the products, whichever occurs first.
The refund will be made using the same payment method as that used by the Client when placing the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to another refund method.
The refund will include, where applicable, the initial standard delivery costs, excluding any additional costs arising from the choice of a faster or specific delivery method.
Return costs remain payable by the Client, unless the error is attributable to Pômesse Paris or the product is defective.
Customs duties, import taxes, customs clearance fees, banking fees or any other charges paid by the Client in connection with an international delivery or a delivery subject to customs formalities are not refunded by Pômesse Paris.
9.4 Exceptions
In accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal may not be exercised, in particular, for:
— products unsealed after delivery for reasons of hygiene or health protection;
— products clearly personalised or made according to the Client’s specifications.

10. Legal warranties
Products sold on the Site benefit, by operation of law and without any additional payment, from:
the legal warranty of conformity provided for in Articles L217-3 to L217-31 of the French Consumer Code;
the legal warranty against hidden defects provided for in Articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code.
These legal warranties apply independently of any commercial warranty that may be granted by PÔMESSE PARIS.
10.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The Client has a period of two (2) years from delivery* of the product to bring a claim under the legal warranty of conformity, in accordance with Articles L217-3 to L217-31 of the French Consumer Code.
During the twenty-four (24) months following delivery* of the goods, the lack of conformity is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise or unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged defect.
In the event of a lack of conformity, PÔMESSE PARIS will implement, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, one of the following remedies:
bringing the goods into conformity by replacement;
or, where this is impossible or disproportionate, a price reduction or rescission of the sale.
No costs may be charged to the Client for the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity.
Delivery = physical handover of the product to the Client (receipt)
10.2 Warranty against hidden defects
In accordance with Articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code, PÔMESSE PARIS is liable for hidden defects in the goods sold.
The action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the Client within two (2) years from the discovery of the defect.
The defect must be hidden and render the goods unfit for their intended use, or so diminish that use that the Client would not have purchased them, or would have paid a lower price, had the Client been aware of it.
In accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code, the Client may request either rescission of the sale or a reduction in price.
10.3 Implementation of warranties
To exercise one of these warranties, the Client must contact PÔMESSE PARIS via the contact form on the Site or by email at the address indicated in the Legal Notice, describing precisely the defect observed and attaching any useful supporting documents, including photos, order number and proof of purchase.
After analysis, and in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, PÔMESSE PARIS will implement the appropriate solution at no cost to the Client.
These provisions do not exclude any other rights that the Client may invoke under the legal warranties provided by law.

• in the event of an individual allergic reaction, provided that the allergens or substances concerned were clearly mentioned on the packaging or product page;

The liability of PÔMESSE PARIS may only be incurred in the event of direct and foreseeable damage resulting from a breach of its contractual obligations. It may not be limited in the event of gross negligence, fraud or bodily injury.
PÔMESSE PARIS shall not be held liable for content appearing on third-party websites to which the Site or commercial communications may link.
The advice, information and editorial content appearing on the Site are provided solely for informational and well-being purposes. They do not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and must not be used to establish a diagnosis or modify ongoing treatment. The Client is invited to consult a healthcare professional for any question relating to their health condition.
PÔMESSE PARIS may use specialised service providers or subcontractors, including laboratories, logistics providers, carriers and payment service providers, for the performance of certain services, under its responsibility.

The following are considered in particular to constitute events of force majeure: general strike, war, terrorist attack, pandemic, natural disaster, disruption of transport or communication networks, fire, explosion, supplier failure or administrative decision.
If the force majeure event lasts for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the order in writing, without compensation, and the Client will be refunded the amount paid in proportion to the products not delivered.
________________________________________
18. Applicable law and jurisdiction
These GTC and the transactions arising from them are governed by French law.
They are drafted in French, which is the only version binding on the parties.
This choice of law does not deprive the Client, where applicable, of the mandatory consumer protection rights granted by the law of the country in which the Client has their habitual residence.
In the event of a dispute, and after an attempt at amicable resolution, jurisdiction is granted to the competent French courts, without prejudice to any mandatory jurisdiction rules that may allow a consumer to bring proceedings before the courts of their country of residence.
Sales to foreign countries are governed by French law, without prejudice to the mandatory rights and protections granted to consumers under applicable local consumer protection laws.
________________________________________
19. Final provisions
If any provision of these GTC is declared null, illegal or unenforceable, it will be deemed unwritten, without affecting the validity of the other provisions.
The fact that PÔMESSE PARIS does not rely, at a given time, on any clause herein shall not be interpreted as a waiver of its right to rely on it at a later date.
These GTC, order confirmation emails and the Privacy Policy form the entire contractual agreement between the parties.

2. Scope
The purpose of these GTC is to define the rights and obligations of PÔMESSE PARIS and any consumer (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") within the framework of online sales of the products offered on its website (hereinafter referred to as the "Site").
They apply without restriction or reservation to all orders placed on the Site by Clients residing in metropolitan France, the French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM), or any other country of the European Union, for delivery in these areas or internationally under the specified conditions.
Any order implies full and complete acceptance of these GTC. The Client acknowledges having read the GTC before validating their order and declares to have understood and accepted them without reservation.

________________________________________
3. Products
The products offered for sale on the Site are described and presented as accurately as possible. Each product sheet notably mentions:
• The essential characteristics of the product (texture, use, function, ingredients, usage precautions);
• The complete INCI composition for cosmetics and the list of ingredients for dietary supplements;
• The mode of use, storage conditions, and specific warnings, if applicable.
PÔMESSE PARIS ensures that its products comply with applicable French and European regulations, notably:
• Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products;
• Directive 2002/46/EC on dietary supplements;
• Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 on nutritional and health claims;
• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ISO standards in force in partner laboratories.
The photographs, visuals, and texts on the Site are presented for illustrative purposes only and have no contractual value.
Any discrepancies in color perception or presentation cannot engage the responsibility of PÔMESSE PARIS. In case of discrepancy, the information on the packaging prevails for regulatory mentions, usage precautions, and safety information. For other contractual information (price, availability, sales conditions), the information displayed at the time of ordering prevails.
Products are offered within the limits of available stocks. Some products may be offered in promotional packs. The value of the products composing these packs is calculated on the basis of the unit price in effect on the day of the order.
In case of temporary or permanent unavailability after order validation, the Client will be informed by email as soon as possible.
The Client may then:
• Either maintain their order for a delayed shipment (if the product becomes available within an announced timeframe);
• Or be fully reimbursed for the amount corresponding to the unavailable product, within a maximum of fourteen (14) days on the payment method used to place the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be reimbursed by another means.
• An exchange for a product of equivalent value.
PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to withdraw any product from sale or to modify its presentation without notice, provided that these modifications do not concern confirmed orders.
________________________________________
4. Destination and usage conditions of products
Products sold on the Site are exclusively intended for personal and non-professional use.
They may not be resold, redistributed, or used in an institutional or medical context without prior written authorization from PÔMESSE PARIS.
The Client agrees to use the products in accordance with their intended purpose and the instructions provided on the packaging and product sheet.
Any misuse, non-compliant application, or improper storage is the sole responsibility of the Client.
It is the Client's responsibility to ensure, prior to using the products, their compatibility with their health status, any potential pathologies, allergies, or medical treatments. PÔMESSE PARIS cannot be held responsible in case of inappropriate or incompatible use with the Client's health condition, provided that the necessary information was listed on the packaging or product sheet.
To ensure necessary operations of the Site, to prevent abnormal or abusive orders, and to prevent any purchase for professional purposes, the total amount of an order cannot exceed fifteen hundred (1,500) euros inclusive of tax per transaction.
PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to cancel any order that appears abnormal in quantity or frequency, or whose elements suggest collective, commercial, or fraudulent use. Any order canceled by PÔMESSE PARIS under this clause will be fully reimbursed to the Client within fourteen (14) days on the payment method used when placing the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be reimbursed by another means.
________________________________________
5. Price
The prices displayed on the Site are indicated in euros, all taxes included (TTC), excluding delivery charges.
The total amount of the order (products + any delivery charges) is specified before the Client's final validation.
Prices take into account the VAT applicable in France on the date of the order.
In case of a legal rate modification, this may be reflected in the prices, without notice.
PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to modify its prices at any time; products are invoiced based on the price in effect at the time of order validation.
In case of a manifest pricing or display error resulting from a technical or human malfunction, PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to cancel any order. The Client will be informed and fully reimbursed for the amounts paid on the payment method used when placing the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be reimbursed by another means. A manifestly derisory price or one that bears no relation to the actual value of the product constitutes a manifest error.
Promotional codes and discount offers potentially available from PÔMESSE PARIS are subject to specific conditions (validity period, minimum purchase amount, product restrictions, etc.) specified at the time of communication. They are not cumulative between themselves, unless otherwise stated, and are never convertible into cash. In case of a manifest error affecting the application of a promotional code (level of discount, unauthorized combination, etc.), PÔMESSE PARIS reserves the right to correct or cancel the erroneous discount, informing the Client.
For deliveries outside the European Union, the Client acts as an importer: they are responsible for paying any customs duties, import taxes, or banking fees that may be required in the country of receipt.
These fees are neither calculated nor collected by PÔMESSE PARIS and cannot be refunded by the latter. The different delivery methods and associated fees are detailed on the "Delivery" page of the Site and are reiterated before order validation.
In case of exceptional variation in the cost of raw materials, transport, or energy, PÔMESSE PARIS may adjust its prices at any time. These changes will not apply to already validated orders.

8.1 Delivery areas
Products are deliverable in:
• Metropolitan France;
• French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM);
• The European Union;
• And certain non-EU countries when logistics permit.
8.2 Deadlines
Deadlines are indicated for information purposes during the order.
They vary according to the destination and the chosen transport mode.
In any case, delivery will occur within a maximum period of 30 days from order validation (payment accepted).
In case of delay attributable to PÔMESSE PARIS, the Client may request the resolution of the sale in accordance with Articles L216-2 and L216-3 of the Consumer Code.
The full refund will then occur within 14 days following the request, using the payment method used during the order, unless the Client expressly agrees to be refunded by another means.
Specific terms Mondial Relay – pickup times - in accordance with the carrier's conditions on the day of shipment:
Since the update carried out in October 2025, the pickup deadline for a package at a Relay Point or locker is 5 calendar days. After this period, the package is automatically returned to the sender. The seller cannot be held responsible in case of non-pickup on time, and no free return will be carried out.
8.3 Address and reception
The Client must ensure the completeness and accuracy of their delivery address.
Any package returned due to incomplete or erroneous address may be resent, the costs being borne by the Client.
The transfer of risks occurs upon receipt of the package by the Client.
It is up to them to immediately check the condition of the package and products.
When the carrier indicates the package as delivered (proof of deposit, scan, geolocation), PÔMESSE PARIS may request any useful element from the Client (sworn statement, declaration of non-receipt, verification with the carrier, etc.) before proposing, if applicable, a commercial solution (refund, credit, redelivery).
Any anomaly (damaged package, missing product, reference error) must be reported within forty-eight (48) hours to support@pomesse-paris.com. This forty-eight (48) hour period aims to allow prompt handling of anomalies but does not limit the Client's legal rights, notably under legal guarantees.
8.4 International deliveries
Deliveries outside the European Union may be subject to import duties and taxes.
These fees remain entirely at the Client's charge, who is liable to local authorities.
In case of refusal of the package or non-payment of taxes, return, storage, or customs clearance fees will be charged to the Client.
8.5 Force majeure and independent delays
PÔMESSE PARIS cannot be held responsible for delays due to force majeure (strike, catastrophe, logistical blockage, war, pandemic, administrative decision) or any event reasonably beyond its control.
________________________________________
9. Withdrawal right
In accordance with Articles L221-18 and following of the Consumer Code, the Client has a period of fourteen (14) days from the receipt of their order to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to justify any reason or incur any penalty. When this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, it is extended until the next working day.
9.1 Notification
To exercise their right of withdrawal, the Client must notify their decision to PÔMESSE PARIS by email at support@pomesse-paris.com, specifying the order number concerned.
The Client may, if they wish, use the standard withdrawal form annexed to these GTC. PÔMESSE PARIS acknowledges receipt of any withdrawal request by email.
9.2 Return conditions
Products must be returned in their original state, unopened, unused, complete (packaging, accessories, instructions...) and in their original packaging, in perfect resale condition. The Client may be held responsible for the depreciation of the product resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and proper functioning of the product, in accordance with Article L221-23 of the Consumer Code.
Returns must be sent to the address provided by customer service, accompanied by the order number. Returns must be made within fourteen (14) days from the date of sending their withdrawal request.
Return costs are borne by the Client, except in the case of an error attributable to PÔMESSE PARIS (preparation error or defective product upon receipt).
In case of partial return of an Order benefiting from a discount linked to the number of products purchased or a minimum amount (e.g.: bundle, conditional discounts, conditional gift, etc.) resulting in non-compliance with the initial conditions of the promotional offer, PÔMESSE PARIS will adjust the refunded amount, corresponding to the difference between the price paid by the Client and the total price that would have been due in the absence of the promotional offer. The initial discount granted will therefore be recalculated based on the only products actually kept and the refund amount will be adjusted accordingly. Any gift offered under condition must also be returned in its original condition. Failing this, its value may be deducted from the refund.
After checking the returned products, if the conditions are not met, the Client will be contacted by the Company and said products may be refused and returned to the Client at their own expense.
9.3 Timeframe and refund
In the event of a valid and compliant withdrawal, the refund of the returned product(s) will occur within a maximum of fourteen (14) days from the date PÔMESSE PARIS has recovered the products or received proof of shipment.
The refund will be made by the same means used by the Client, unless the Client expressly agrees to be refunded by another means.
The refund will include the price of the products and, if applicable, the initial standard delivery costs.
9.4 Exceptions
In accordance with Article L221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for:
• Products unsealed after delivery for hygiene or health protection reasons;
• Products that are clearly personalized or made according to the Client's specifications.
No returns will be accepted outside the cases provided by law.

10. Legal warranties
Products sold on the Site benefit, by law, and without additional payment from:
The legal warranty of conformity, provided by Articles L217-3 to L217-31 of the Consumer Code;
The legal warranty against hidden defects, provided by Articles 1641 to 1648 of the Civil Code.
These legal guarantees apply independently of any commercial warranty that may be granted by PÔMESSE PARIS.
10.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The Client has a period of two (2) years from the delivery* of the product to act under the legal conformity warranty, in accordance with Articles L217-3 to L217-31 of the Consumer Code.
During the twelve (12) months following the delivery* of the goods, the lack of conformity is presumed to exist. Beyond this period, it is up to the Client to provide proof of the lack of conformity.
In case of a lack of conformity, PÔMESSE PARIS will implement, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, one of the following remedies:
The compliance of the goods by replacement;
Or, if this is impossible or disproportionate, a price reduction or cancellation of the sale.
No costs may be charged to the Client under the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity.
* Delivery = physical handover of the product to the Client (receipt)
10.2 Warranty against hidden defects
In accordance with Articles 1641 to 1648 of the Civil Code, PÔMESSE PARIS is liable for hidden defects in the sold goods.
The action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the Client within two (2) years from the discovery of the defect.
The defect must be hidden and make the goods unfit for their intended use, or so decrease this use that the Client would not have acquired them, or would have given a lower price, had they known about it.
In accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code, the Client may either request the cancellation of the sale or a reduction in price.
10.3 Implementation of warranties
To implement one of these warranties, the Client must contact PÔMESSE PARIS via the contact form on the Site or by email at the address indicated in the legal notices, precisely describing the observed defect and providing any useful supporting documentation (photos, order number, proof of purchase).
After analysis, and in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, PÔMESSE PARIS will implement the appropriate solution at no cost to the Client.
These provisions do not exclude any other rights the Client might have under the legal warranties provided by law.
