PURCHASE CONDITIONS
14. Purchases
14.1 Availability. All orders are subject to availability and in this regard, in the event of supply difficulties or because products are no longer in stock, we reserve the right to refund any monies that you might have paid.
14.2 Payment. The price of products shall be the one quoted on our Website or App, except where there is an error. If we discover an error in the price of any product(s) you have ordered, we may cancel the order and you will receive a full refund. The total cost of an order is the price of the product(s) ordered plus the delivery charge and sales taxes (if applicable). Prices are subject to change at any time and are calculated based on the location you are shopping from. All prices are in USD or as otherwise specified on the Services.
14.3 Legal Title. You will own the goods purchased, once we deliver them to you, at which point responsibility for your goods passes to you.
14.4 Shipping.
14.4.1 Upon completing your order, an e-mail confirmation will be sent to your address on file. This e-mail will serve as an invoice and includes your order number. A standard processing time of up to two (2) business days is required before your order is shipped. Orders placed after 11:00 AM (Eastern Time) may be processed the next business day, and orders placed on weekends and holidays will be processed the following business day starting at 8:00 AM (Eastern Time). During peak periods, processing times may exceed 2 business days. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an e-mail with your shipment’s tracking information, allowing you to keep tabs on the progress of your delivery.
14.3.2 By placing an order, you acknowledge that this sale occurs outside the U.S., and that you are importing your order for non-commercial (personal) use. You also acknowledge that you will be listed as the importer for U.S. Customs and Border Protection purposes and that your order will be imported into the U.S. in accordance with the necessary customs requirements. Your order indicates your agreement to authorize Maxim Paris to appoint a designated carrier/customs broker, where applicable, as your unpaid agent for customs purposes by executing a power of attorney applicable to a single non-commercial shipment. Your order serves as an electronic signature indicating your agreement to the following, as required by US Customs and Border Protection:
“The designated carrier/customs broker is hereby authorized to execute, as an unpaid agent who has knowledge of the facts, pursuant to the provisions of section 485(f), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, the consignee’s and owner’s declarations provided for in section 485 (a) and (d), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and to enter on my behalf or for my account the goods described in the attached invoice which contains a true and complete statement of the facts concerning the shipment.”
Your authorization permits the carrier/customs broker to file on your behalf: (i) an administrative entry under section 321 of the Tariff Act of 1930, if eligible (see below); (ii) an informal entry pursuant to section 143.21 of the Customs Regulations, if eligible; or (iii) the customs formal entry on your behalf for any order that is over $2,500, or otherwise requires formal entry.  You are responsible for any U.S. duties and taxes that may be due under U.S. law. Shipments to the U.S. of goods that are valued at US$800 or less may be imported without the payment of duties and taxes subject to certain restrictions, pursuant to section 321 of the U.S. Tariff Act of 1930 ("Section 321"). These restrictions include the following:  (1) a single contract or order addressed to a same individual that exceeds US$800, cannot be split into more than one shipment to avoid the payment of duties and taxes; (2) individual orders addressed to a same individual that are consolidated by the shipper or carrier on a single bill of lading (“B/L”) or air waybill (“AWB”) will be treated as a single shipment and will not be entitled to Section 321 treatment if the total value exceeds US$800; and (3) if there

 are individual B/Ls or AWBs, the shipment will qualify unless there are several B/Ls or AWBs addressed to a same individual with shipment on the same day and the total value of these shipments is over US$800, in which case U.S. Customs and Border Protection will treat them as a single shipment. All goods purchased from Maxim Paris should be imported into the U.S. without the payment of duties and taxes pursuant to Section 321, only when Section 321 is applicable. Our express carriers have been instructed to apply Section 321 only where applicable.

GENERAL
 
18. Personal Data.
Maxim Paris's activity entails the processing of personal data in accordance with our U.S. Privacy Policy available here.


19. Cookies.
This Website uses cookies. For more details about our use of cookies and other tracking technology, please read our Cookies Notice available here.

20. Minors.
20.1 Permission. If you are under the age of 18, you should not use our Services, register on this Website or otherwise provide any data without the permission of your parent or guardian. If you use our Website or any of our Services, we will assume, and you confirm, that you are 18 years of age or older or that you have the permission of your parent or guardian. You may not use this Website if you are under the age of 18.
20.2 Supervision. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18, you should carefully supervise your child’s use of the Services on our Website. It is the responsibility of parents or guardians, and not Maxim Paris, to determine whether any part of this Site or any site linked to from this Website is appropriate for their children.
 
21. Choice of Law.
These Terms are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
 
22. Dispute Resolution.
22.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. To give us an opportunity to informally resolve any disputes, claim or controversy between you and us arising out of or relating to your use of the Services and these Terms, including our U.S. Privacy Policy (“Disputes”), you agree to first communicate your Dispute to us at support@maximparis.com. Most concerns can be quickly resolved in this manner, and you agree not to bring any lawsuit or to initiate arbitration proceedings until 60 days after the date on which you communicated your Dispute to customer care have elapsed. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle your Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If we are unable to resolve your Dispute within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court as set forth below.  Any action to enjoin the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights shall not be subject to the requirements of this Initial Dispute Resolution paragraph.
22.2 Arbitration.  If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution pursuant to the procedures outlined in the paragraph above, you and Maxim Paris each agree that any Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration, except that you and Maxim Paris each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court, the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of the party’s respective intellectual property rights, and the right to seek public injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Any such small claims matter shall be brought in the state courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

, and you and Maxim Paris consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts for such purpose.  This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and is governed by the laws of the State of New York. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/document_repository/ConsumerRulesWeb.pdf), as modified by these Terms. The arbitrator shall conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the terms of these Terms and shall be final and binding. The arbitrator shall have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Maxim Paris should be addressed to: Maxim Paris LLC., 103 3rd Ave W 103 Mailbox 110, Bradenton Florida 34205, United States , Attn: Legal Department. (“Notice Address”). The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Maxim Paris and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Maxim Paris may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Maxim Paris or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Maxim Paris is entitled. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Maxim Paris made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Maxim Paris will pay you the greater of the award or US$1,000 in addition to paying your attorney’s fees and the arbitrator’s fees. Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees except as otherwise provided herein. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST ACCEPT THESE TERMS, UNLESS THE LAW OTHERWISE REQUIRES. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO THE NOTICE ADDRESS PROVIDED ABOVE AND MUST INCLUDE: (I) YOUR NAME, (II) YOUR ADDRESS, (III) YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER, AND (IV) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US OR THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO YOU BY US. IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED US OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO SO AGAIN. IF YOU HAVE NOTIFIED US OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AND YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS, OR IF YOU USE THE SERVICES AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
22.3 Class Action Waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, EACH PARTY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO BRING DISPUTES IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH DISPUTE IN COURT, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ITS RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

23.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and any other legal notices or additional terms and conditions or policies published by us on the Services, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Services. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and any other terms and conditions or policies published by us, these Terms shall control. No modification or amendment to these Terms will be
