5. Provision and use of Gift Cards

Once the payment has been made, the Gift Cards are sent directly by email:

  • either to the Client’s e-mail address provided at the time of ordering ;
  • or directly to the email address of the Beneficiary, as provided by the Client at the time of ordering.

The Client has the option to defer the delivery date of the Gift Card in order to share with third parties a url link allowing them to contribute to the Gift Card until the delivery date chosen by the Client. Where applicable, the Gift Card will be sent by email on the date set by the Client in one of the ways described above.

The Gift Cards are activated when they are sent by email.

The client assumes full responsibility for the transfer and communication of the Gift Card to the Beneficiary, including when the client chooses the option to send the Gift Card directly to the Beneficiary’s email address. MY BLEND cannot be held responsible for any error in the designation of the Beneficiary, loss of the Gift Card or fraudulent use of the Gift Card.

The Gift Cards can be used:

  • 12 months from the date of activation;
  • exclusively on the website https://my-blend.com or at the Maison My Blend, 23 rue Debelleyme, 75003 PARIS (France);
  • for the purchase of My Blend products or treatments (treatments carried out only at Maison My Blend, excluding partner Spas and hotels).

The Gift Cards can be used in one or more instalments, within the limit of their value, and can, if necessary, be supplemented by another means of payment (with the exception of another Gift Card).

Gift Cards not used by the end of their validity period will not be eligible for any refund or credit.

6. Right of withdrawal

Clients have a right of withdrawal which they may exercise within fourteen days of the Gift Card being made available to them. However, the right of withdrawal can only be exercised if the Gift Card has not been used in whole or in part before the expiry of this period.

In order to exercise this right of withdrawal, the decision must be notified to MY BLEND within the aforementioned period by means of an unambiguous statement (for example, by letter sent by post or e-mail). To this end, the model withdrawal form provided in the annex to the GTCs can be used, but is not mandatory.

Clients must provide MY BLEND with the code associated with their Gift Card by email within 14 days of their withdrawal at the following address: serviceclient@my-blend.com (code provided in the email containing the Gift Card) in order for MY BLEND to proceed with the deactivation of the Gift Card.

In the event of retraction, MY BLEND will refund all payments received without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day MY BLEND is informed of the decision to retract. MY BLEND will proceed with the reimbursement of each participant using the same means of payment as that used for the initial transaction, unless a different means is expressly agreed. In no event will the Client be able to claim reimbursement for the contribution made by the other participants if several participants have purchased the Gift Card.

7. Legal guarantees

Clients benefit from the legal guarantees provided for under French law, namely the legal guarantee of conformity (Article L. 217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the legal guarantee against hidden defects (Article 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), the terms and conditions of application of which are set out in the box below.

The consumer has a period of two years from the date of delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a defect in conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.

Where the contract for the sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee shall apply to that digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply provided. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity of the digital content or service and not the date of its appearance.

The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation on the part of the trader, where applicable, to provide any updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.

The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of his request, free of charge and without any major inconvenience to him.

If the goods are repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.

If the consumer asks for the good to be repaired, but the seller imposes a replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of the replacement of the good.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if

1° The trader refuses to repair or replace the goods;

2° The goods are repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;

3° The repair or replacement of the goods causes major inconvenience to the consumer, in particular where the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming goods, or if he bears the cost of installing the repaired or replacement goods;

4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller’s unsuccessful attempt to bring them into conformity.

The consumer shall also be entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. The consumer is then not obliged to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period of immobilisation of the goods for the purpose of repair or replacement shall suspend the guarantee which was due until delivery of the repaired goods.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.

A seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee for hidden defects under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are kept or to a full refund in return for the return of the goods.
