ORDERS

2.1 PRODUCT OFFERING

The Products are presented in accordance with legal regulations and are as accurate as possible.

There may be differences between the Products shipped and those shown on the Website or in the catalogue, primarily for handcrafted Products, each of which is unique, and Products for which technical or technological modifications have been made. You may not cancel your order or refuse delivery due to such differences, provided that they do not affect the essential features or quality of the Products. However, we cannot guarantee that the colour you see on the Website or in the catalogues matches the product colour, as the display of the colour depends in part upon the browser and monitor you are using. Maisons du Monde cannot be held liable for inaccuracies in the photographs on the Website.

2.2 ORDER ACCEPTANCE

By confirming your order, you are placing a firm order. The order becomes firm for Maisons du Monde when the payment is validated and the order is recorded.

2.3 MINIMUM ORDER

Maisons du Monde sets a minimum order amount. This minimum amount is only used to cover the costs of each order and it enables us to continue offering such a wealth of decorative products.

PRICE / PAYMENT

3.1 PRODUCT PRICES

Product prices are shown in pound sterling, inclusive of taxes relating to Product sales including VAT. Prices are guaranteed until a new catalogue is published.

3.2 SHIPPING CHARGES

Your furniture may be delivered by carrier or parcel service. The type of shipping will be specified when you place your order.

View delivery costs.

3.3 PAYMENT

Payment shall be made in pound sterling. The full price must be paid at the time of order, by bank card, bank transfer, credit (only if billed in France) or bank cheque (French bank cheque only), unless otherwise stated when you place your order, sent to the following address:

Service Comptabilité Internet
Le Portereau
BP 52402

If the cheque or bank transfer is not received within 8 days of the date you confirm your order, the order will be cancelled.

Credit card payments are secured by BNP Paribas's Merc@net Paiement system, in compliance with French and international interbank regulations. This insures that your online purchases are secure. Your credit card information is not kept by Maisons du Monde. It is transmitted directly to BNP Paribas.

As part of an ongoing effort to fight online fraud, Maisons du Monde may sometimes be required to verify a customer's bank details or identity before a delivery can be made. By ordering on the Maisons du Monde website, the customer agrees to provide the required details or proof of identity. If a satisfactory response is not given within the specified delay, Maisons du Monde reserves the right to cancel the order in question.

Orders are not recorded until payment has been validated, so no discounts or late charges can apply.

3.4 INVOICING

The invoice sent to the buyer uses the information he entered in his customer account. The buyer can edit this data each time he places an order through the website.

Trade buyers are required to contact the Maisons du Monde Trade Department before placing a firm order to arrange for a trade invoice to be issued. Trade customers can then give Maisons du Monde all the information necessary to raise a trade invoice, including the intra-community VAT number.

3.5 PRODUCT PRICES

Due to recent exchange rate changes, our business costs have increased, so we need to make some small changes to our pricing structure in the UK, these changes will take effect from 13/02/17. However, we want to keep offering to you great value on our unique range of stylish furniture & decor, to continue to allow you to create your dream home. So while our pricing has increased we have taken the decision to set our shipping fees at a permanent low for 2017 to all UK customers. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our friendly customer service team whom are always happy to help.
