13.1.1 Statutory Warranty of Conformity

Parfums Christian Dior will deliver to the Customer an Item that conforms to the Contract and is free of defects in conformity at the time of delivery of the said Item, in the sense that the Item shall be fit for the usual use expected of a similar good and that it will have the features presented during the sale. Parfums Christian Dior shall also be responsible for nonconformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the Contract made these its responsibility or where they have been carried out under its responsibility.

This warranty will only apply if the Customer makes the request within two (2) years of delivery of the Item(s). Any nonconformity which becomes apparent within twenty-four (24) months of delivery shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

The Customer may then choose to repair or replace the Item, unless one of these choices results in a manifestly disproportionate cost for Parfums Christian Dior. If the repair or replacement of the Item is unavailable, the Customer may be refunded the price paid and return the Item or keep the Item and be refunded a portion of the price, unless the nonconformity is minor.

13.1.2 Statutory Warranty against Hidden Defects

Parfums Christian Dior warrants the Customer with any purchased Item and its accessories are, at the time of the sale, free of hidden defects (also known as latent defects) that render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or that would so diminish its usefulness that the Customer would not have acquired it, or would have accepted to pay only a lower price, if he/she had been awareof such defect. Parfums Christian Dior, however, does not warrant against any hidden defect known to the Customer or any apparent defect.

This warranty will only apply if the Customer makes the request within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect and it will be up to the Customer to prove that it fulfils the conditions of the warranty.

The Customer will have the choice to return the Item for full reimbursement or keep the Item and be refunded a portion of the price.

13.2 Commercial Warranties

Certain Items sold on the Site are covered by a commercial warranty (also known as conventional warranties), in addition to the above-mentioned statutory warranties.

In no event shall Parfums Christian Dior be liable for any damage that is not an immediate and direct result of a breach by Parfums Christian Dior of one of its obligations or in the event of the occurrence of a fortuitous event or force majeure that would prevent or delay its performance.

Parfums Christian Dior will inform the Customer of any such fortuitous event or force majeure within seven (7) days of its occurrence. In the event that this suspension of the performance of Parfums Christian Dior's obligations continues beyond a period of fifteen (15) days, the Customer will then have the option of cancelling the order in progress and Parfums Christian Dior shall refund him/her as soon as possible.

Article 16 – Non-Waiver

The fact that Parfums Christian Dior refrains from demanding at any given time the performance of any of the provisions of these general terms and conditions of sale may not be interpreted as a waiver of its right to raise subsequently said complete or partial non-performance.

Article 17 – Validity of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale

If any of the provisions of these general terms and conditions of sale shall be declared null and void in whole or in part, the other provisions and the other rights and obligations arising from these general terms and conditions of sale shall remain unchanged and shall remain applicable.

Article 18 – Disputes - Applicable Law

These general terms and conditions of sale shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and Canada’s federal laws applicable therein except where consumer protection laws applicable to a Contract require that such Contract be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Customer is located, in which case they are subject to the laws of that jurisdiction. In the event of any difficulty arising from the ordering or delivery of the Items and before any legal action is taken, the parties shall cooperate to attempt to informally resolve any such difficulty so that the Customer shall have the opportunity to seek an amicable solution with Parfums Christian Dior. If the parties cannot resolve the difficulty informally, all disputes arising out of or in connection with a Contract shall be mediated pursuant to the National Mediation Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (“ADRIC”), except for disputes involving claims for injunctive or other equitable relief or where applicable laws override this mediation clause.

In the absence of an amicable solution or recourse to mediation, the parties shall resolve any dispute arising out of a Contract by binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the ADRIC, except for disputes involving claims for injunctive or other equitable relief or where applicable laws override this arbitration clause. The following provisions shall govern any arbitration hereunder: (a) The legal seat of arbitration shall be the city of Toronto in Ontario; (b) There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent of the request for arbitration or in default thereof appointed by the ADRIC in accordance ADRIC Arbitration Rules; (c) The language of the arbitration, including the hearings, documentation and award, shall be English; (d) The Parties shall equally share the fees of the arbitrator and the facility fees; (e) The Parties shall each bear their own legal costs and expenses of the arbitration; (f) Any decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and there shall be no right to appeal such decision, whether on a question of law, a question of fact, or a mixed question of fact and law; (g) The arbitration procedures, hearings, documents and award shall remain strictly confidential between the parties.

Article 13 – Conformity - Warranty

13.1 Statutory Warranties

The Items sold by Parfums Christian Dior are subject to the statutory warranties (also known as legal warranties) under the laws applicable to the Contract to the exclusion of any other warranty.

13.1.1 Statutory Warranty of Conformity

Parfums Christian Dior will deliver to the Customer an Item that conforms to the Contract and is free of defects in conformity at the time of delivery of the said Item, in the sense that the Item shall be fit for the usual use expected of a similar good and that it will have the features presented during the sale. Parfums Christian Dior shall also be responsible for nonconformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the Contract made these its responsibility or where they have been carried out under its responsibility.

This warranty will only apply if the Customer makes the request within two (2) years of delivery of the Item(s). Any nonconformity which becomes apparent within twenty-four (24) months of delivery shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

The Customer may then choose to repair or replace the Item, unless one of these choices results in a manifestly disproportionate cost for Parfums Christian Dior. If the repair or replacement of the Item is unavailable, the Customer may be refunded the price paid and return the Item or keep the Item and be refunded a portion of the price, unless the nonconformity is minor.

13.1.2 Statutory Warranty against Hidden Defects

Parfums Christian Dior warrants the Customer with any purchased Item and its accessories are, at the time of the sale, free of hidden defects (also known as latent defects) that render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or that would so diminish its usefulness that the Customer would not have acquired it, or would have accepted to pay only a lower price, if he/she had been awareof such defect. Parfums Christian Dior, however, does not warrant against any hidden defect known to the Customer or any apparent defect.

This warranty will only apply if the Customer makes the request within two (2) years of the discovery of the defect and it will be up to the Customer to prove that it fulfils the conditions of the warranty.

The Customer will have the choice to return the Item for full reimbursement or keep the Item and be refunded a portion of the price.

13.2 Commercial Warranties

Certain Items sold on the Site are covered by a commercial warranty (also known as conventional warranties), in addition to the above-mentioned statutory warranties.

Parfums Christian Dior will inform the Customer of any such fortuitous event or force majeure within seven (7) days of its occurrence. In the event that this suspension of the performance of Parfums Christian Dior's obligations continues beyond a period of fifteen (15) days, the Customer will then have the option of cancelling the order in progress and Parfums Christian Dior shall refund him/her as soon as possible.

Article 16 – Non-Waiver

The fact that Parfums Christian Dior refrains from demanding at any given time the performance of any of the provisions of these general terms and conditions of sale may not be interpreted as a waiver of its right to raise subsequently said complete or partial non-performance.

Article 17 – Validity of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale

In the event of any difficulty arising from the ordering or delivery of the Items and before any legal action is taken, the parties shall cooperate to attempt to informally resolve any such difficulty so that the Customer shall have the opportunity to seek an amicable solution with Parfums Christian Dior. If the parties cannot resolve the difficulty informally, all disputes arising out of or in connection with a Contract shall be mediated pursuant to the National Mediation Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.
