Article 16 – After-Sales Service 

Christian Dior Couture may offer the Customer extended commercial warranties or a guarantee that go above and beyond what the Customer is legally entitled to.

Article 17 – Information on the Items - Liability - Force Majeure 

Information on all Items offered for distance selling shall be made available in all Christian Dior Couture boutiques or by Phone. 

The photographs, graphics and descriptions of the Items offered for sale are for illustrative purposes only. Customers can obtain additional information by contacting Customer Service or Sales Assistants at Christian Dior Couture boutiques. 

While every effort is made to ensure that the colour and pattern of the Items pictured on the Website, or in pictures sent by Phone, accurately reflect the original items, variations may occur, in particular due to technical limitations in the colour rendering of the computer equipment. Consequently, Christian Dior Couture cannot be held liable for non-substantial errors or inaccuracies in the photographs or graphic representations of the Items appearing on the Website or in a picture sent by Phone. 

If Christian Dior Couture fails to comply with these terms, it is only responsible for loss or damage the Customer suffers that is a foreseeable result of Christian Dior Couture breaking this contract or failing to use reasonable care and skill, but Christian Dior Couture is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both Christian Dior Couture Couture and the Customer knew it might happen, for example, if the Customer discussed it with Christian Dior Couture during the sales process. 

Article 18 – Non-Waiver

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF AFTER-SALES SERVICES (2)

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF AFTER-SALES SERVICES

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF AFTER-SALES SERVICES

1. These General Terms and Conditions govern the After-Sales Services (hereinafter "After-Sales Services" or "Services") provided by the company Christian Dior Couture which manages the store in which the Customer's request for assistance is made (hereinafter "Dior"). 

2. Upon delivery of the product to Dior by the Customer (or any person authorised by the Customer, in writing, to do so in the Customer's name and on the Customer's behalf), Dior, in conjunction with the Customer, shall photograph and analyse the product, identifying all visible signs (including but not limited to tears, pre-existing damage, soiling, etc.). All visible signs were duly noted on the form signed electronically by the Customer upon delivery of the product (hereinafter the "CARE Form") and documented by taking photographs, which were viewed by the Customer and reproduced on the After-Sales Service Form. The After-Sales Services that the Customer has asked Dior to perform are also described in this CARE Form, which the Customer will receive by email or, on request, in paper format.

3. The product is deemed to be delivered to Dior without any loose or attached items. In this respect, Dior is not responsible for (i) any objects attached to the product or loose (e.g. those left in pockets) that were not detected during the aforementioned analysis of the product nor for (ii) any damage resulting from or caused by the aforementioned objects.

4. The product is sent to the workshop or to their place of manufacture to be examined in detail by Dior's craftsmen and experts. They will determine whether the defect or problem that led the Customer to request After Sales Services is covered by the warranty, the feasibility of repair where this option has been chosen by the Customer, the estimated timeframe to carry out the repair and, where the defect or problem is not covered by the warranty, the estimated cost to carry out the Services. Where this information differs from the information provided in the above form, the Customer will be informed as soon as possible and if the Customer ultimately incurs costs or expenses in excess of those estimated in the above form, the Customer will be provided with a quotation which must, if accepted by the Customer, be confirmed by return email with the words "Agreed to quotation no. [quotation no.]" before the Services can be performed. If the Customer refuses the new conditions, the Dior store that made the request for After-Sales Services will contact the Customer as soon as the product is ready for collection so that the Customer can collect it (or have it collected) from the said store.

5. The Client understands and accepts that even when the product and the Services have been indicated as covered by the warranty in the above form, the craftsmen and experts may, in particular with regard to the deteriorated condition of the product, find that the product has not been used normally and that the warranty is therefore void. In this case, the Customer will be informed in writing and the procedure will be as described in Article 4 above. If the craftsmen and experts confirm that the product is covered by the warranty but indicate that the product cannot be restored, the Customer will be offered a full or partial refund or replacement, suggested to him/her in writing. For more information on legal warranties, the Customer is requested to consult the Dior general terms and conditions of sale available in the stores as well as articles L.217-3 to L.217-20 of the French Consumer Code relating to the legal warranty of conformity and articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code relating to the warranty against hidden defects.   

6. Dior will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all After Sales Services are performed to the highest possible standards.

7. Both, in the event that Dior performs After-Sales Services and that Dior and its craftsmen and experts have determined that the product is not repairable, Dior will contact the Customer (first by telephone and then, if the Customer does not respond, by e-mail) to inform the Customer that the product is ready for collection in the same store where the request for After-Sales Services was made. The Customer must collect the product within 3 months of such notification. If the product is not collected within 3 months of Dior's first written notice, Dior will send a second written notice to the Customer, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (to the address indicated on the CARE Form) informing the Customer that if the product is not collected by the end of a new period of 15 months from the first presentation of this registered letter constituting the second notice, Dior will be able to dispose of the product in any way whatsoever (including by destroying it and, where possible, recycling it). In fact, any delay in collecting the product after the expiry of this second collection period causes prejudice to Dior because of the costs incurred for the custody and maintenance of the product. By signing these general terms and conditions of After-Sales Services, communicated to the Customer at the time of dropping off of the product and before signing the CARE Form, the Customer expressly acknowledges and accepts that, by way of derogation from the law of 31 December 1903, Dior may dispose of the product that has not collected within the allotted time period, without the Customer being able to claim any compensation whatsoever from Dior. 

8. The product can be collected by the Customer by presenting a copy of the CARE form and/or, if applicable, the final quotation, accompanied by his/her identity document. The Customer may also use a proxy document, which was sent to him/her by email at the same time as the After Sales Service Form and these general terms and conditions, to appoint a person authorised to collect the product on his/her behalf (hereinafter the "Designated Person"). To collect the product, the Designated Person must present the proxy form, duly completed and signed by the Customer, a copy of the After Sales Service Form and, if applicable, the final quotation, duly signed by the Customer, a copy of the Customer's identity document and his/her own identity document. 

9. In all cases where the warranty has been declared void, all amounts due for the After-Sales Service that have not been paid in full at the time of collection of the product must be paid at once on the day of collection of the product. Otherwise, the product will not be returned to the Customer. The Customer is not entitled to any refund on the After-Sales Service unless he/she can prove that the Service was incorrectly rendered (repair not carried out or incorrectly carried out, replacement by a different product without the Customer's agreement).   

10. Dior attaches great importance to the protection of its intellectual property rights and to compliance with the law. As a result, Dior does not repair products that violate any law or regulation, particularly when they have been identified as stolen or counterfeit. Furthermore, by signing these general terms and conditions of use of the After-Sales Services, the Customer authorises Dior, whenever the circumstances justify it (i) to keep the infringing products with a view to destroying them and, where possible, recycling them and/or for the purposes of investigations, in particular judicial investigations and/or, where applicable, as evidence against the perpetrator of the infringement or breach of a law or regulation and (ii) to communicate the Customer's personal data to the competent authorities if Dior is obliged to do so by law or by these same authorities. Buying Dior products in Dior stores and from its authorised distributors is the best way to ensure the authenticity of a Dior product.

11. These general terms and conditions of use of the After-Sales Services are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute concerning the After-Sales Services, the Customer may seek an amicable solution by contacting us by email or telephone or contact the consumer ombudsman of the Centre de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Paris (CMAP [Paris mediation and arbitration centre]), by filling in the dedicated form on the website www.cmap.fr, by sending his/her request by post to CMAP Médiation Consommation, 39, avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, 75008 PARIS or by email to consommation@cmap.fr. Recourse to mediation is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, which is not a prerequisite for taking legal action. The Client may therefore take legal action against Dior without having had recourse or attempted to have recourse to mediation. In the absence of an amicable solution or recourse to mediation, all disputes relating to these general terms and conditions shall be submitted to the competent court in application of the rules laid down by the French Code of Civil Procedure and the French Consumer Code. The Customer may file a lawsuit in the courts of (i) the place where Dior is domiciled; or (ii) the place where the Customer is domiciled; or (iii) the place where the After Sales Services are performed.

GENDER PAY GAP REPORT (1)

The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 require the company to publish our gender pay gap taking the snapshot date of the 5th April 2023.

Christian Dior is committed to equal opportunities and the promotion of diversity and equality in the workplace. We have a strong policy on the management of equal opportunities.  Diversity and openness to others are fundamental values for us, ensuring fairness for all our employees in terms of jobs and development, by guaranteeing equal opportunities based on objective criteria. We are convinced that diversity, in all its forms, is a source of wealth and creativity for our teams.

The reports show the ‘Median’ and ‘Mean’ pay gap for the total population. In 2023, 2.4% of our population were employed at Senior Executive level which distorts the UK Mean value.

In addition, one of the Senior Executive responsibilities are not comparable to the rest of the positions within our network. Due to this, the salary and bonus of this position is not a true reflection of the gender pay gap and we have produced figures including and excluding this position.

Our higher female population is consistent within the luxury retail market and remains an objective to have a split of 40/60 male versus female with an even divide of Senior Executives for the future.

Our results show the ‘Median’ & ‘Mean’ pay gap as at the snapshot date of the 5th April 2023. Both our mean and median has decreased showing a greater parity between our gender pay.

      -  Mean of 11.27% in 2022 vs 5.46% in 2023

      -  Median of 1.97% in 2022 vs 1.4% in 2023

In the lower quartile, the split of male versus female has improved by 23 points, a mix of 28% male & 72% female. It is noted that within this level it includes internships receiving entry level rate of pay, of which 83% are female distorting the lower quartile results.

The mean and median gender pay gap by pay quartile remains at a minimal difference with the exception of lower and upper quartiles. The lower middle and upper middle quartile show there is parity in gender pay and represents 50% of the total population.

 

The upper quartile mean has reduced by 60% and the median has remained stable. With the senior executive noted previously removed we reach a stronger gender pay comparative.

Bonus is a contractual benefit for management and head office positions, those in receipt of a bonus are 39% of the population for both genders.  Our female demographic is 64% and this is reflected within the median & mean, the bonus allocated is equal for both genders within their employed positions.

Our 2023 strategy remains to give every employee the means to develop and flourish in their profession, we believe in the importance of transmission of expertise and knowledge to preserve the wealth of our employee career path. Our focus will also continue to have a balanced gender work force within all quartiles.
