When the wedding takes place abroad, the rental deposit amounts to 400 euros.

Article 4 – RENTAL PROCESS

The tenant can rent a wedding garment and/or accessory in person at the showroom by directly choosing said garment/accessory, the date of availability and the rental period.

When the tenant comes to collect the clothing/accessory from the showroom, he/she deposits the corresponding rental deposit in cash and checks its condition on site in order to validate the inventory or contest it. In the absence of a contestation followed by the hand delivery of the rented item, it is considered to have been accepted by the tenant in any event without reservation.

At the end of the rental period (4 days by default, 8 days, 12 days), the tenant returns the garment/accessory to the company UN + UNE SRL. Upon return of the rental, the tenant completes the return inventory to indicate any damage, even minor, to the condition of the garment/accessory, including for example snags, loss of an element of the garment/accessory, holes, tears, stains, etc.

Upon receipt of the garment/accessory, UN + UNE SRL: checks the condition of the garment/accessory. In the absence of a discrepancy between the condition prior to rental and the condition after rental, UN + UNE SRL returns the security deposit to the tenant, ensures the restoration of the garment/accessory. In the presence of a discrepancy between the condition prior to rental and the condition after rental, UN + UNE SRL retains all or part of the security deposit, up to the cost of restoring the initial condition of the garment/accessory and will be entitled to collect the “farewell” flat rate (details in article 8). 

It is specified that the rented clothing/accessory remains the entire property of UN + UNE SRL, including in the event of full collection of the security deposit, and must therefore be returned to the company UN + UNE SRL.

Article 5 – DELAYS IN RETURN

For each day of delay in the return of the clothing/accessory by the tenant, a fixed compensation equal to 40 (forty) euros per day of delay is applied. The entire security deposit is collected by UN + UNE SRL after 5 days of delay.

 In the event that a Party unduly obstructs the release of all or part of the rental deposit at the end of the rental period, it will be liable for interest of 1.50% per year on the amount withheld, after formal notice has remained unsuccessful for eight days, the interest being calculated each time for the entire month started.

In the event of any late payment owed by a Party, the latter shall be liable, from the due date, automatically and without prior notice, for interest of 1.50% per year, the interest being calculated each time for the entire month started.

Article 6 – CONDITIONS OF EXCHANGE, CANCELLATION OR REFUND

Article 7 – MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROPERTY

All modifications aimed at embellishing, improving or temporarily transforming the Property may only be carried out by the Tenant with the prior authorization of the Owner, must be reasonable and temporary, as well as the payment of a temporary adjustment fee and the payment of the materials essential to said transformation (fabrics, etc.). This being only a service offered, UN + UNE SRL is not bound by any contractual obligation to carry out temporary adjustments on the rented property. If ever, a change in morphology is noted by UN + UNE SRL between the fitting adjustments and the delivery of the dress, UN + UNE SRL will then claim a supplement of 80 euros including tax or will reserve the right to refuse any additional modification resulting from this state of affairs. The length of the dress or outfit cannot be altered under penalty of seriously damaging the piece, therefore any size of length or hem will be excluded from any temporary adjustment.

Temporary adjustments will be made temporarily so as not to affect the quality and integrity of the outfit. They will be recommended and accepted by the owner only before any work is carried out, in accordance with the rules of the art, only temporary with a view to re-letting the object, at the expense and risk of the Lessee, with the full discharge of the Owner. In the event of disagreement on this point, the property will be delivered as is without any temporary adjustment being made. During a pregnancy, the company reserves the right to refuse any temporary modification impacting the integrity of the outfit, as it cannot guarantee the final result. 

Article 8 – USE, MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND TOTAL LOSS

The Lessee undertakes to take care of the rented Property and to leave the dress on its original hanger in the carrying case provided when it is not being worn.

The first cleaning is included in the rental price. If additional cleaning (base of 85 eur per dry cleaning) is necessary in order to recover the outfit in its previous condition, it will be deductible from the deposit.

The Tenant will be responsible for any additional cleaning, any repairs, including major repairs, to be carried out on the Property. In the event of a discrepancy between the condition prior to the rental and the condition after the rental, the owner will retain all or part of the security deposit, up to the cost of restoring the original condition of the garment/accessory if possible. 

If restoration to the original condition proves impossible, i.e. when the garment/accessory is no longer in a condition to be rented out at a later date and in particular in the event of a hole, burn, cigarette burn, permanent stain (including grass, flowers, smoke bomb, wine, blood, etc.), tear, the entire security deposit is retained. UN + UNE SRL will then reserve the right to charge the “farewell” fee. Since the item is too damaged to be rented out again immediately, the item will be invoiced at the depreciated base price (farewell fee) up to €450.
