All orders are payable in Euros and must be paid immediately upon placing your order. In the event of unavailability of certain Products ordered, the regulations described in Article 4 “Product Information and Availability” will apply.

6.2 Accepted payment methods

GIVENCHY accepts the following payment methods for purchases on the Site or by telephone through Customer Service: Visa®, MasterCard®, and American Express® credit cards, PayPal, SOFORT, KLARNA, IDEAL.

- For telephone orders: the customer must confirm with Customer Service that he/she is the holder of the card that he/she is using, provide the card number and expiration date appearing on the front of his/her card, as well as the 3-digit security code appearing on his/her card.

- For orders on the Site: The customer must guarantee that he/she is the holder of the card used for payment. Credit card payments are authenticated and secured using the 3D Secure system. This device is also known as “Verified by Visa®,””MasterCard® SecureCode,” or “American Express SafeKey®.” During payment, the bank will request personal information from the customer in order to verify the identity of the cardholder and to validate the transaction.

How to pay with 3D Secure on givenchy.com

After validating his/her bank details (card number, expiration date, and security code), a new page will be displayed where the customer will need to enter the personal information requested by his/her bank. This information may be:

  • the answer to a security question;
  • a password previously selected by the customer;
  • a code sent via text message;
  • the customer’s date of birth, etc.

Once the 3D Secure code is entered and validated by the customer's bank, the order is finalized and the customer receives a message acknowledging receipt of his/her order. As authentication is specific to each bank, the customer is welcome to contact his/her bank directly regarding any questions on the subject.

Confirmation and shipment of your order take place only after verification of the payment method and receipt of the authorization to debit the customer's card. Debiting of the customer's account will take place at the time of the validation of the order by the bank and therefore prior to the shipment of the order.

In any event, if for any reason the debiting of amounts owed by the customer proves to be impossible, the sale carried out by telephone will be immediately resolved and the processing of the purchase on the Site canceled.

The information in connection with the order is subject to automated data processing, for which CYBERSOURCE is responsible. The purpose of this automated data processing is to determine a transaction's analysis level and to combat credit card fraud. CYBERSOURCE and GIVENCHY are the recipients of the data relating to the customer's order. The non-transmission of the data relating to the order prevents the completion and analysis of the transaction. If there is an outstanding debt due to the fraudulent use of a bank card, the contact information in relation to the order associated with this unpaid amount shall be recorded in a payment incident file implemented by CYBERSOURCE. An irregular declaration or an anomaly may also be subject to specific processing.

In accordance with Data Protection Act the customer has, at any time, the right to access, rectify, and oppose all his/her personal data by writing, via mail and with proof of identity, to GIVENCHY - Customer Service - 159, avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92521 Neuilly-Sur-Seine cedex, France.

If a repair or replacement of the Product is not possible, the customer may have the price paid refunded and return the Product, or keep the Product and be refunded a portion of the price, unless the lack of conformity is minor. The return, replacement or reimbursement of the Product shall be carried out at no cost to the customer and shall not prevent any awarding of damages in the event that the customer may be entitled thereto. The legal warranty of conformity applies irrespectively of the commercial warranty indicated in Article 12.2 below.

- Legal warranty against latent defects:

GIVENCHY will deliver a Product free of latent defects that would render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or that would diminish this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased the item, or would have purchased it at a lesser price, if he/she had been aware of them. This warranty will only be effective if the customer requests it within a period of two (2) years from the date of discovery of the defect. In the event of latent defect, the customer has the choice of returning the Product and being refunded the price and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, or of keeping the Product and being refunded a portion of the price.
