In this context, as an intermediary, it connects its Members with product suppliers or service provider partners (hereinafter referred to as “Partners”).
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, which define the rights and obligations of PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE and its Members, apply to all Subscriptions, regardless of the chosen package, subject to their specific characteristics.

2.1 The private concierge services provided by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE are reserved for the Member and their spouse.
To accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, the Member must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts.
2.2 Any registration, request or order placed, directly or indirectly, by any medium whatsoever (telephone; mail; email; fax; SMS; instant messenger such as WhatsApp and Telegram; etc.) with the concierge services operated by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE implies the unreserved acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, which shall prevail over all other conditions, with the exception of those which have been expressly accepted by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE.
2.3.1 The telephone number(s) provided when subscribing to one of the Subscription plans offered by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE are considered to belong to the Member who subscribed to said Subscription or to one of the persons authorised by the Member to represent them – either when subscribing or by a later written act. By way of exception, if the Member sends a request using a telephone number other than the one provided under the conditions indicated above in this section, and if this request is processed by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE, then this telephone number shall also be considered to belong to the Member with any legal consequences set out below. Likewise, the email address(es) provided when subscribing to one of the Subscription plans offered by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE allow(s) us to authenticate the identity of its owner and user as the Member who subscribed to said plan.
2.3.2 Consequently, the telephone number(s) and email address(es) provided to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE under the conditions set out in point 2.3.1 hereof, from which all requests, orders and acceptances originate are considered valid for authenticating the identity of their owner and user regardless which platform is used (telephone call, SMS, instant message, etc.), without possible objection from the Member, except in the case of loss or theft and according to the following terms. The Member undertakes to inform PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE, as soon as possible, of any theft or loss of their mobile phone linked to the phone number(s) provided when subscribing to the Subscription. This communication must be accompanied by a statement of loss or theft declared with the appropriate authorities. Likewise, any hacking of the Member’s mailbox(es) must be reported immediately to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE.
2.4 Each Member is responsible for their Subscription, which is strictly personal to them, and must take all necessary measures to prevent any person other than themselves or their spouse from using it in their name. By way of exception, when subscribing to one of the Subscription plans or through a subsequent written act, the Member may expressly authorise another person to use their Subscription in their name and on their behalf, subject to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE’s acceptance of this representative.
Only the Member may benefit from an order placed with PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE; orders may therefore only be transferred to a third party’s benefit with the express prior agreement of PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE and, as appropriate, the Partner.

However, the Member can take advantage whenever possible of all the benefits negotiated by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE with its Partners and which are reserved only for its Members, such as hotel upgrades, free breakfasts, freebies and discounts in wellness and fitness centres, VIP welcome, etc.
4.5 A “Premium Corporate” subscription package reserved for Professionals is subject to a specific contract.

PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE performs the services with Partners in the name and on behalf of the Member under a power of attorney granted to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE by the Member.

5.6 Orders submitted to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE are understood to be contingent on the availability of Partners.
In the event that a service is unavailable, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE undertakes to make every effort to offer an equivalent service.

5.7 PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE shall communicate with Partners on behalf of the Member.
5.8 Thanks to their Subscription, the Member has access to a large number of advantages and benefits negotiated with the Partners selected by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE. Partners are nevertheless free to amend their Commercial Terms and Conditions at any time and PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE accepts no liability for changes made.
VI – PAYMENT
6.1 Products and services purchased from Partners shall be invoiced directly to the Member by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE.
The Member may ask and authorise PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE to use their payment card remotely to pay for a Partner’s product or service directly.
By providing the details of their bank card, the Member authorises the Supplier to debit their bank card at the proper time and at the pre-agreed rate. For this purpose, the Member confirms that they are the holder of the bank card to be debited and that the name on the card is actually theirs.
The Member undertakes to carry out all necessary measures with their Bank(s) in order to add PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE to a list of trusted beneficiaries, as provided for in Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2018/389 of the European Commission from November 27, 2017.
6.2 Approval by the Member – or by one of the persons authorised by the Member – carried out by any means (telephone, SMS, fax, instant messaging using the telephone number(s) provided when subscribing to one of the Subscription plans offered by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE, emails using the email address(es) provided when subscribing to one of the subscription plans offered by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE; etc. under the conditions specified in Article 2.3 hereof) – of the proposal sent by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE in response to their request equates to acceptance that the amount of the order will be debited from the Member’s payment card.
The Member must ensure that the payment card’s details are correct and that they have funds available in their bank account to cover payment for the services and/or products ordered. In the event that it is impossible to debit the price, the sale shall immediately be rescinded by operation of law and the order cancelled.
6.3 Once the order is approved, the Member undertakes to pay for the ordered services and/or products upon receiving the invoice. In the event of late payment, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE accepts no liability for changes in the availability or prices of ordered products and/or services.
6.4 In the event of late payment, penalties may be applied, either by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE, at a 12% annual rate, calculated on a monthly basis, or by the Partner in question, on the basis of its own General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.
6.5 In the event that PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE is required to make an advance payment for an order for services or products, whatever they are, and for any reason whatsoever, in the name and on behalf of one of its Members, additional fees (corresponding to bank charges, credit card fees, insurance, management fees, processing fees) shall be applied to the order total excluding VAT. The Member undertakes to reimburse PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE, upon first request, the amount of the order as well as all costs incurred. The Member may at any time request how many fees have been charged to them.
6.6 In the event of non-payment of the Subscription and/or any other invoice within the agreed deadlines, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE is entitled to send the Member a letter of formal notice to pay within 8 days of the initial submission of the registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
If, despite this formal notice, the Member does not pay their Subscription and/or invoice, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE may then terminate the Subscription without further formalities. This termination may not give rise to any request for reimbursement or payment of any compensation in favour of the outgoing Member.
Should the Member fail to pay, their Subscription to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE services shall be suspended as of the 9th day following said formal notice. As a result, the Member shall no longer have access to PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE’s services until full payment of the Subscription.
Unpaid Subscription invoices shall remain due in full, and PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE reserves the right to take legal action against the Member by any legal means to obtain their payment and is entitled to demand, by way of penalty, an indemnity equal to 15% of the sums due, plus statutory interest and any legal fees.
In addition, it is recalled that for professional Members, pursuant to Articles D. 441-6 and D. 441-5 of the French Commercial Code, any delay in payment entails, in addition to penalties for late payment, an obligation for the debtor to pay a lump sum indemnity of €40 for collection costs.
6.7 In the event of failure to make use of the services relating to a Subscription, no reimbursement of the Subscription may be demanded.
VII – SPECIAL SERVICES
7.1 Shopping: At the Member’s request, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE may make purchases in their name. In this case, shopping fees and shipping costs shall be applied.
7.2 Restaurants and Clubs: For some club and restaurant bookings, the Member authorises PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE to use their payment card to guarantee the bookings.
7.3 Ticketing: PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE undertakes to carry out its best efforts to satisfy the Member’s ticket requests for all events with its Partners.
In the case where the event is sold out with traditional ticket outlets, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE may call upon specialist suppliers. Consequently, the prices offered may change at any time and may differ from the face value stated on the tickets, owing to the additional cost of agency, handling and/or administration fees.
Any confirmed booking request is firm and final. Consequently, booked seats cannot be cancelled, postponed, modified, exchanged, or reimbursed.
The Member is required to check the date and time of the show or event, since the producer or organiser may change them without warning.
PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE is not liable for tickets that are lost or sent to the wrong place by the postal service.
Likewise, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE cannot, under any circumstances, be held liable for the cancellation or postponement of a show or event. In the event of cancellation or postponement by the artist, producer or organiser, whatever the circumstances, PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE cannot be required to pay back the face value of the tickets, subject to reimbursement being obtained from the producer or organiser.
7.4 Taxis/Private Chauffeurs: In the event that the Member misses the appointment scheduled at the time of the order and, more generally, if the taxi or private chauffeur is not paid a fare because of the Member (“no fare”), the latter shall be liable for the amount of the fare, unless a more favourable agreement has been obtained by PREMIUM CONCIERGERIE with the Partner.
