These Terms & Conditions apply to the use of the NinaSarkisyants
website and to all consultations, fittings, custom orders and purchases
made with NinaSarkisyants Bridal Couture.
By confirming an order, approving an invoice or making a deposit or
other payment after receiving these Terms, the Client confirms that they
have read, understood and accepted them.
1. Website Information
The website is intended to present NinaSarkisyants collections, designs
and services.
Website content, photographs, descriptions, prices and estimated
production periods are provided for general information only. Nothing
on the website constitutes a binding offer or guarantees the
availability of a particular design, material or service.
Every order is considered individually and becomes binding only after
written confirmation by NinaSarkisyants and receipt of the required
payment.
2. Order Confirmation
The Client must carefully check all design details, measurements,
materials, colours, prices, dates and delivery information before
confirming an order.
The confirmed Order Summary, invoice, written design approvals and these
Terms form the agreement between the Client and NinaSarkisyants.
Written approvals provided by email, WhatsApp or another agreed
communication channel are considered final.
3. Custom Design and Changes
Sketches, photographs, mood boards, samples and digital visualisations
are artistic references and do not guarantee an exact photographic
reproduction in the finished gown.
Once the Client has approved the design, materials or embroidery,
NinaSarkisyants may begin purchasing materials and producing the gown.
Changes requested after approval may require additional payment, extend
the production period or be refused if they are technically impossible
or may compromise the gown’s construction or quality.
NinaSarkisyants may make minor technical adjustments necessary for the
fit, structure, balance or durability of the gown while preserving the
approved design concept.
4. Measurements and Fittings
The Client is responsible for providing complete and accurate
measurements and following the measurement instructions supplied by
NinaSarkisyants.
For remote orders, measurements should be taken by an experienced tailor
or other qualified professional.
NinaSarkisyants is not responsible for fitting issues caused by
incorrect measurements, changes in weight or body shape, pregnancy,
cosmetic procedures, different undergarments, shapewear, shoes or heel
height.
Additional alterations required because the Client’s measurements or
body have changed may be charged separately and may extend the
completion date.
Where a gown is completed without a final in-person fitting, minor local
alterations may be required and are the Client’s responsibility unless
otherwise agreed in writing.
Alterations performed by another tailor without prior written approval
are undertaken at the Client’s risk.
5. Handmade Couture
Every NinaSarkisyants gown is individually handcrafted.
Natural variations in embroidery, lace placement, beadwork, draping,
colour, texture, stitching or symmetry are characteristics of handmade
couture and are not considered defects.
The finished gown may differ slightly from sketches, photographs,
samples or previously created gowns. Exact duplication of another
handmade gown is not guaranteed.
6. Prices and Payments
The price, currency, deposit and payment schedule are confirmed
individually in the invoice or Order Summary.
Production will not begin until the required initial payment has been
received. Late payment suspends production and may extend the completion
and delivery dates.
The gown will not be released or dispatched until all amounts due have
been paid in full.
Bank charges, transfer fees, currency-conversion charges, customs duties,
import taxes and other destination-country charges are the Client’s
responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Additional design changes, embroidery, materials, fittings, alterations
or urgent production requested after confirmation may be charged
separately.
7. Cancellations, Deposits, Returns and Exchanges
All NinaSarkisyants gowns are couture creations individually made to
order according to the Client’s measurements, selected design, materials
and agreed specifications.
Each gown is handcrafted specifically for one Client and may involve
individual pattern construction, couture corsetry, hand embroidery,
exclusive fabrics and extensive atelier work. For this reason,
production begins specifically for the confirmed order and the gown
cannot subsequently be offered as a standard ready-made product.
Once an order has been confirmed and the initial payment or deposit has
been received, the deposit is non-refundable in the event that the
Client cancels the order, as design development, atelier time, materials
and production capacity are reserved specifically for that Client.
Completed or partially completed made-to-measure and bespoke gowns are
not eligible for return, exchange or refund due to a change of mind,
change of circumstances, wedding cancellation, change of wedding date
or any other reason attributable to the Client.
If an order is cancelled after work has begun, the Client remains
responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for completed work,
materials purchased or ordered and other costs arising from the
cancellation, up to the total agreed order price.
These conditions apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and do not affect any mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be
excluded.
8. Production and Delivery
Production and delivery periods are estimates unless a specific date has
been expressly guaranteed in writing.
Delays by the Client in providing payments, measurements, approvals,
fitting attendance or delivery information automatically extend the
production schedule.
NinaSarkisyants is not responsible for delays caused by couriers,
customs authorities, transportation disruption, supplier delays,
governmental restrictions, natural events or other circumstances
outside its reasonable control.
The Client is responsible for providing complete and accurate delivery
information and for paying costs caused by an incorrect address, failed
delivery, storage, redirection or repeated delivery attempt.
9. Claims and Care
The Client must inspect the gown as soon as reasonably possible after
receiving it.
Any claim must include a written description and clear photographs.
NinaSarkisyants must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the
gown and, where appropriate, correct a confirmed manufacturing issue.
The gown must not be worn, cleaned, altered or repaired by a third party
before NinaSarkisyants has had an opportunity to assess the reported
issue.
NinaSarkisyants is not responsible for damage caused by incorrect
cleaning, steaming, ironing, storage, transportation, cosmetics,
perfume, jewellery, footwear, outdoor use, ordinary wear and tear or
third-party alterations.
10. Intellectual Property
All NinaSarkisyants designs, sketches, patterns, embroidery layouts,
photographs, videos, texts, trademarks, logos and other creative or
technical materials remain the property of NinaSarkisyants or the
relevant rights holder.
Purchase of a gown transfers ownership of the physical item only. It
does not transfer copyright, design rights, reproduction rights or other
intellectual-property rights.
The Client may not reproduce, manufacture, commercially copy or
authorise the copying of a NinaSarkisyants design.
Website content may not be copied, modified, published, distributed or
commercially used without prior written permission.
11. External Services
The website may contain links to messaging services, video platforms or
other third-party websites.
NinaSarkisyants does not control these services and is not responsible
for their availability, security, content or privacy practices.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NinaSarkisyants is
not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, emotional
distress, loss of opportunity or expenses connected with a wedding,
venue, travel, accommodation, photography, event cancellation or other
third-party arrangements.
The Client is responsible for providing sufficient time for production,
fittings, alterations, customs clearance and delivery.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability
of NinaSarkisyants relating to an order will not exceed the amount
actually paid by the Client for that specific order.
Nothing in these Terms excludes any liability or mandatory consumer
right that cannot legally be excluded.
13. Changes and Severability
NinaSarkisyants may update these Terms by publishing a revised version
on the website. Changes apply to future orders and do not materially
alter an already confirmed order unless agreed with the Client or
required by law.
If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions will continue to apply.
