5. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

5.1 Warranty conditions

When the Client places an order on the Site, a Welcome email and Order Confirmation email is sent to the Client which includes:

  • the nominated collection and delivery address;
  • the nominated collection and delivery time-slot;
  • the number and nature of the garment(s);
  • the price of the Services;
  • reservations made about the possibility and quality of the Services by LA SIRENE in accordance with the terms of article 4.3;
  • delivery charges, if any.

5.2 Mandatory labelling

Garments that are to be treated by LA SIRENE must include a composition label indicating the nature of the fabric (e.g. cotton, wool, synthetic, etc.) and a care label. If the care recommendations are observed but a problem occurs (e.g. shrinkage, discoloration, etc.), or where there is no care label, LA SIRENE assumes no liability for adverse outcomes.

5.3 Liability

  1. LA SIRENE accepts no responsibility or liability in the event of loss of or damage to any garment(s), save where such loss or damage cannot lawfully be excluded, or is a direct result of fraud or wilful negligence on the part of LA SIRENE.
  2. While placing an order on the Site, the Client is obliged to inform LA SIRENE of all circumstances and specificities which are likely to affect the result of the cleaning, such as, for example, the pre-treatment of stains or the degradation of the garments to be cleaned, or which are likely to lead to the appearance of a snag under the effect of the cleaning.
  3. La SIRENE reserves the right:
    • to refuse to treat a garment that does not have a care label;
    • to refuse to process certain garments if they are considered too damaged or fragile.
    • to express reservations about certain garments if untreatable stains or odours are identified, or if there is a risk of deterioration or damage that could result from their treatment.
    In cases where LA SIRENE expresses such reservations and the Client chooses to proceed with the treatment, the Client shall be required to give consent by email. By signing, the Client acknowledges the risks and agrees that LA SIRENE shall not be held responsible for any damage that may occur during the treatment process.
  4. In the event that, despite these reservations, the Client wishes to proceed with the treatment of their garments, LA SIRENE shall not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the said treatment and no compensation will be possible.
  5. Once the garments have been treated and returned to the Client, the latter is invited to examine and check the garments. Any loss or damage must be reported immediately to the Client service on the LA SIRENE Site or by e-mail at the following address: [email protected].
  6. No action may be taken against LA SIRENE if the Client has not immediately reported the loss or deterioration of their garments following their return to the Client via delivery.
  7. LA SIRENE undertakes to take all the care in use in the profession for the implementation of the proposed Services. Nevertheless, LA SIRENE commits itself to an obligation of means. LA SIRENE may therefore not be held liable in the event of:
    • deterioration due to inappropriate cleaning which could not have been detected during a professional examination of the garment, in particular in the event of damage caused by a latent defect in the garment;
    • missing or faded composition and care labels;
    • garments that have undergone special treatments that had not been notified at the time of delivery.
  8. In general, LA SIRENE cannot be held responsible for the breach of one of its obligations if the poor performance of the Services results from a case of force majeure, from the Client’s act or omission, from the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or from an obstacle beyond LA SIRENE’s control, which LA SIRENE could not reasonably foresee and the consequences of which cannot be reasonably avoided or overcome by LA SIRENE.
  9. In the event of deterioration of a garment caused by LA SIRENE that does not meet the aforementioned cases, any compensation or reimbursement will be made on presentation of the purchase invoice for the garment in the Boutique.
  10. Unless due to gross negligence, La SIRENE shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the home delivery of the garment.
  11. In the event of loss of a garment, LA SIRENE is liable unless LA SIRENE can prove that no fault was committed, and that the loss was due to an external cause that LA SIRENE could not have foreseen.

8. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTES

  1. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with this GTCS, its formation or subject matter.
  2. In the event of a dispute concerning the present GTCS and/or an order, LA SIRENE invites the Client to contact LA SIRENE Client Service [email protected] to present their claim and try to find an amicable solution with LA SIRENE.
  3. If a dispute arises out of or in connection with these GTCS or the performance, validity, or enforceability of it, then the parties shall adhere to the following procedure:
    • Either party shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (“Dispute Notice”), together with relevant supporting documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, a Director of LA SIRENE and the client and/or their duly authorised representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute.
    • If the Director of LA SIRENE and the client and/or their duly authorised representative are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days of it being referred to them, the parties will attempt to settle it by mediation in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the mediator shall be nominated by CEDR. To initiate the mediation, a party must serve notice in writing (“ADR notice”) to the other party to the Dispute, requesting a mediation. A copy of the ADR notice should be sent to CEDR. The mediation will start not later than 30 days after the date of the ADR notice.
    • The parties shall then submit to the supervision of the mediation by CEDR for the exchange of relevant information and for setting the date for negotiations to begin. The parties shall bear their own legal costs of the mediation, but the costs and expenses of mediation shall be borne by the parties equally.
    • If the parties agree to have recourse to the mediation the same shall be binding on the parties as to submission to the mediation but not as to its outcome. Accordingly, all negotiations connected with the dispute shall be conducted in strict confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the parties in any future legal proceedings. Except for any party’s right to seek interlocutory relief in the courts, no party may commence other legal proceedings under the jurisdiction of the courts or any other form of arbitration until 40 business days after the appointment of a mediator.
    • If, with the assistance of the mediator, the parties reach a settlement, such settlement shall be reduced to writing and, once signed by a duly authorised representative of each of the parties, shall be and remain binding on the parties.
    • Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause either party may commence or take proceedings or seek remedies before the courts or any other competent authority for interim, interlocutory, or injunctive remedies in relation to this Agreement.
