Each item will have a descriptive sheet which, in addition to the photograph, will include: the price, available sizes and colors, composition, as well as any special features.
The photographs illustrating the items are for reference only and do not engage the responsibility of LA FÉE MARABOUTÉE. Indeed, slight differences between an item and its photograph may exist, notably depending on the resolution and color settings of the User's screen.

In case of displaying an incorrect price, clearly absurd (unreasonably low price), whatever the reason (software bug, manual error, technical error), the order—even if validated by LA FÉE MARABOUTÉE—will be canceled, and the Customer will be informed as soon as possible.
