These General Terms and Conditions of Use are governed by French law.
Should any dispute arise in relation to the application and/or interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Use, the User may have recourse to contractually-agreed mediation proceedings or to any other method of alternative dispute resolution. Any so-called consumer disagreement or dispute may be resolved amicably via mediation conducted by CMAP (Paris Centre for Mediation and Arbitration). In order to submit a dispute to the mediator, the Buyer can (i) fill out the form published on the CMAP website: www.cmap.fr, tab “you are: a consumer”, (ii) send their request by simple letter or registered letter to CMAP Médiation Consommation, 39 avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, 75008 PARIS, or (iii) send an email to consommation@cmap.fr. Whatever the method used to refer to CMAP, the User’s request must contain the following in order to be processed quickly: their postal, email and telephone contact details as well as MESSIKA’s full name and address, a brief description of the facts and evidence confirming that they first tried to solve the dispute with MESSIKA.
The User remains free to accept or decline such recourse to mediation and, if recourse is made to mediation, each party remains free to accept or decline the solution suggested by the mediator.
If no amicable solution can be reached and no recourse is made to mediation, all disputes potentially generated by the General Terms and Conditions of Use shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the competent court of the User’s place of residence.
If either Party decides not to take action against the other Party in the event of a breach of any one of its obligations set out within these General Terms and Conditions of Use, this may not be interpreted for the future as a waiver of the obligation in question.
