We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate or reliable. You agree that from time to time we may remove the Service for indefinite periods of time or cancel the Service at any time, without notice to you. You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the Service is at your sole risk. The Service and all products and services delivered to you through the Service are (except as expressly stated by us) provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchant ability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement. In no case shall MELIE, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of the Service or any products procured using the Service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MELIE and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of the TOS or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

In the event that any provision of the TOS is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from the TOS, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

SECTION 11 – TERMINATION

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. The TOS are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate the TOS at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our Services. If in our sole judgment you fail, or we suspect that you have failed, to comply with any term or provision of the TOS, we also may terminate this agreement at any time without notice and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination; and/or accordingly may deny you access to our Services (or any part thereof).

SECTION 12 – ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The TOS and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Service or in respect to The Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the TOS). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of the TOS shall not be construed against the drafting party.

You acknowledge and agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and MELIE as a result of the TOS or your use of the Service. You agree that you may not and will not hold yourself out as a representative, agent, or employee of MELIE, and we shall not be liable for any representation, act, or omission on your part.

If you breach the TOS and we take no action against you, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach the TOS.

We take all complaints very seriously and try to resolve disputes as soon as they arise. If you wish to make a complaint, email us at info@meliestore.com giving full details including date of purchase and order reference number where applicable and your full name and address and contact details. The TOS together with all our policies and procedures will be governed by and construed in accordance to the Portuguese law. If there’s a dispute that we have been unable to resolve with you directly, EU resident customers can find more information about alternative dispute resolution via the European Online Dispute Resolution platform.

Our activities include payment processing, anti-fraud checks if you choose to pay by credit or debit card, invoicing, product shipments and the management of returns, if applicable.
• Register with the Service and access the services offered to registered users. You can register with the Service by inputting certain personal information needed to guarantee your identity and use the services offered to registered users.

With regard to all the above activities, we will process your personal data using IT and electronic equipment; the tools used by us guarantee high levels of security, in full compliance with the relevant current regulations.

What is our legal basis for processing your personal data?

Under the Law we must have a valid reason for using your personal data and we may not collect, store or use data about you that is not compatible with that reason. There are four valid reasons for our use of your personal data:

• Most of the data we collect from you is necessary to allow us to fulfil our contract with you or to enter into a contract with you e.g. you provide a billing address and email address when you purchase an item from our Service so that we can process your payment and send you order confirmation.
In certain circumstances we will ask for your permission or consent to use your personal data e.g. if we would like to send you marketing information about items we believe may be of interest to you via email. If you have given your consent to our use of your personal data, you are entitled to withdraw this consent at any time.
• We may also have a legitimate interest in using your personal data e.g. to ensure that the content of our website is presented to you and your device as effectively as possible, or to ensure that our marketing communications are relevant to your interests. If this is our reason for using your data, we must make sure that our interests do not override yours and you are entitled to object to this use of your data.
• We may be required to use your data to meet a legal obligation or to protect your interests e.g. we may exchange information with other specialist organisations for the purposes of fraud detection and credit risk reduction and we will retain financial data long term to meet our statutory obligations.

Who will process your data?

Your personal data will be processed by the internal staff of MELIE who have been specifically trained and authorised for this processing. In carrying out the processing, the data may also be transmitted to companies belonging to NJE International Business, to which MELIE belongs.

Your personal data will also be transmitted to third parties that we use to provide our services; these parties have been rigorously assessed and offer a guarantee of compliance with the legislation on the processing of personal data. These parties have been designated as data processors and carry out their activities according to the instructions given by MELIE and under its control.

The third parties in question belong to the following categories: banking operators, internet providers, companies specialising in IT and telematics services; couriers; companies that carry out marketing activities, including social media organisations; companies specialising in market research and data processing; companies offering contact centre services; companies providing publishing and distribution services.

When we share your personal data with our shipping carriers for the purposes of international and domestic shipments, on demand delivery and the security screening associated with these services, our shipping carriers and MELIE are both controllers of your personal data. MELIE is the controller of the personal data of its customers and our shipping carriers are the controllers of personal data provided to our shipping carriers to perform these services.

Our e-commerce data is stored by Shopify which is GDPR compliant. If you subscribed to our mailing list, your data is stored by E-goi which is also GDPR compliant. MELIE ships its orders through different carriers which are all GDPR compliant.

Under some circumstances we may be required to disclose or share your data without your consent, for example if we are required by the police, the courts or for other legal reasons. Your data may be transmitted to the police, judicial and administrative authorities, in accordance with the law, for the investigation and prosecution of crimes, the prevention of and protection from threats to public security, to allow MELIE to ascertain, exercise or defend a right in court, as well as for other reasons related to the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

We may also transfer your personal data to a buyer or potential buyer in the event that our assets are acquired by another organisation. The purchaser will be required by law to use your personal data only as described in this Privacy Policy.

How long do we keep your data?

We keep your personal data for a limited period of time in line with our data retention policy. The specific retention period will vary according to the reason for processing your personal data. After this period, your data will be permanently erased or otherwise irreversibly rendered anonymous.

Your personal data are retained in accordance with the following criteria:

• When you have purchased goods from our Service, we will retain the billing data until the end of the relevant accounting period, normally seven years from the billing date;
• When you make a payment, we will retain your payment details up to the certification of the payment and the completion of the relevant administrative-accounting formalities regarding your right of withdrawal and the terms applied for the disputing of the payment;
• When you provide us with personal data in order to use our Services, such as marketing communications subscription, we will keep your data for this purpose until the termination of the service or until you cancel your subscription to the service;
• When you give us your consent to send you marketing communications, you can withdraw your consent at any time. We will consider your consent to be current for five (5) years from your last interaction with any email that we send you from our Services. In any case, we will reduce the number of marketing contacts after six (6) months if you don’t interact with us;
• When we use your personal data and browsing history to analyse your behaviour in order to customise the website and to show you personalised sales offers, we will keep the data for analytical purposes until you ask us to delete it;
• When we use personal data for market research and satisfaction surveys, we will keep the data until you ask us to stop.
• When you contact our Customer Services team, we will keep any additional personal data you provide that is specific to your enquiry for as long as you remain an active customer of MELIE.

Cookie Policy

The use of cookies and similar technologies by MELIE is governed by our Privacy Policy, in compliance with Portuguese Legislative Decree 46/2012 on Personal Data Protection Code (Privacy Code). about obtaining consent for the use of cookies from the Portuguese Data Protection Authority. MELIE, in its capacity as Data Controller, acts in compliance with relevant legislation.

Our website uses various types of first-party cookies (provided and managed by MELIE), and third-party cookies (provided and managed by third parties based on their own individual privacy policies and not under the control of MELIE), each of which has a specific function:

• Navigation cookies – If you are a registered user, they will allow you to be recognised and to access the services offered from the dedicated areas. Navigation cookies are technical cookies and are needed for the functioning of the Service.
• Functional cookies – These cookies allow, based on your express request, for you to be recognised when you subsequently access the Service, so that you do not have to enter your information each time (for example: “Remember me next time”). If you have added items into your Shopping Bag and closed the session without completing the purchase and without removing those items, these cookies allow you to continue the shopping experience the next time you access the Service (within a limited period), finding the same articles that were selected. Functional cookies are not essential to the functioning of the Service, but rather improve browsing quality and experience.
• Analytical cookies – These first-party cookies are the property of MELIE and are used to gather data in anonymous and aggregated form. These cookies are used to prepare statistical analyses on the browsing methods of our Service’s users. MELIE uses the results of these analyses anonymously and exclusively for statistical purposes.
• Marketing cookies – These cookies are aimed at creating user-related profiles to send commercial messages that meet the preferences shown during the visit, or to improve your browsing experience: while you browse our Service, these cookies are useful for showing you products of interest to you or which are similar to those you have viewed.
• Social Network cookies – These cookies are necessary to allow your social account to interact with our Service. For example, they allow you to express your appreciation and to share it with your friends on social networks. Social network cookies are not necessary for browsing.

The majority of browsers are configured to accept, control or potentially disable cookies through the settings. We nevertheless remind you that disabling navigation or functional cookies may affect the functioning of the Service and/or limit the service we offer. You can delete this information using your browser. To use your browser, you need to delete your browsing data, ticking the “Cookies and website data” box.

You can at any time receive assistance and explanations on how to provide your consent or selective refusal, or on how to delete cookies and similar technologies from your browser, by contacting our Customer Services.

Your rights

You can exercise your rights at any time with reference to the specific processing of your personal data by MELIE. Below is their general description and how to practice them:

• Access your data and modify it: you have the right to access your personal data and to request that it be correct, modified or integrated with other information. If you wish, we will provide you with a copy of your data in our possession.
• Revoke your consent: you can revoke a consent you have given for the processing of your personal data in relation to any activity for marketing purposes at any time. Once we receive your request, it will be our duty to promptly cease to process your personal data based on this consent, while different processing or that which is based on other assumptions will continue to be carried out in full compliance with the provisions in force.
• Opposition to the processing of your data: you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data made on the basis of our legitimate interest, explaining the reasons that justify your request; before accepting it, MELIE will have to evaluate the reasons for your request.
• Delete your data: you may request the cancellation of your personal data in the cases provided for by current legislation. Once your request has been received and examined and if it is legitimate, it will be our duty to timely cease to process your personal data and to delete it.
• Request of restriction of the processing: in this case, MELIE will continue to keep your personal data but will not process it, unless it is subject to your different request and the exceptions established by law. Processing of your personal data can be limited when you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, when the processing is illegal but you oppose the cancellation of your data, when we no longer need your personal data but you need to exercise your right in court and when you oppose your processing, in the period in which we evaluate the reasons for your request.
• Request of data transfer to other party than MELIE ("right to data portability"). You can ask to receive your data that we process based on your consent or on the basis of an agreement with you in a standard format. If you wish, where technically possible and at your request, we may transfer your data directly to a third party that you indicate.

In order to exercise some of your rights described above you can contact our Customer Services team using the options below.

In order to ensure that our users' data is not infringed or illegitimate by third parties, we will ask you for some information to be sure of your identity before accepting your request to exercise one of the rights indicated.
