Chez Marie Pou

Terms of Use and Sale

These terms govern the use of the Chez Marie Pou website, client app and services.

1. Identity and contact

Chez Marie Pou is the registered trade name of 9516-6534 Québec inc., the legal entity that operates an interactive local boutique serving Trois-Rivières, surrounding areas and Quebec. Its registered office is located at 158 rue Loranger, Trois-Rivières, Quebec G8T 3T5; this address is not accessible to customers. The service includes a catalogue, orders, live events, auctions, credits, missions, messages and delivery or pickup options. Customer service can be reached at chezmariepou@gmail.com or 819-384-8872. Administration can be reached at 819-384-1226.

2. App access

Customers must provide accurate information, keep their password confidential and notify us quickly if unauthorized access is suspected. Some features may require email verification or an eligible plan.

3. Products, availability and prices

Products, prices, descriptions, quantities, promotions and availability may change. In case of an obvious error, stock issue or publishing problem, Chez Marie Pou may correct the information, cancel the affected item or offer a reasonable solution before finalizing the order.

4. Orders and invoices

A cart request, reservation or winning bid may be converted into an order or invoice according to the app workflow. Customers must review items, amounts, taxes, fees, credits and contact information before paying.

5. Payments, taxes and credits

Payments must be made through accepted methods. Applicable taxes are added where required. Credits, rewards, discounts or internal benefits are subject to the rules shown in the app and do not necessarily have monetary value outside the service unless otherwise stated.

To pay a product invoice by Interac e-transfer, use the remaining balance and recipient address shown in the app (chezmariepou@gmail.com), and copy the invoice code into the transfer message. The invoice remains unpaid until our team receives and confirms the transfer. Eligible credits, including the 1% sharing reward and the 2% personal VIP rebate, are awarded at that confirmation under their respective rules. An invoice code or proof of sending does not confirm payment. Can't find the code? It is the invoice number shown on your invoice.

6. Member, VIP and reseller agreements

New registrations offer the free Member account and VIP. A VIP purchase covers a fixed one-month period and its displayed price includes applicable taxes. Payment is one-time: the app does not automatically renew the plan and does not make recurring charges. At the end of the period, the customer may choose to purchase another VIP period; not renewing creates no new payment. Before payment, the app presents the plan name, price, duration and main benefits or limits. Effective and expiry dates are then displayed in the client area.

Auction bidding is available to every active client account, including the free account. VIP adds a 2% rebate in internal credits on the eligible portion of products actually paid before taxes, excluding credits used, delivery and ineligible items. These credits have no cash value, are not retroactive and may be used only under the rules displayed in the app.

The VIP bar adds up eligible purchases made during the month. When the displayed threshold is reached, one free VIP month is automatically scheduled to begin the following month. This free activation creates no charge, paid renewal or retroactive rebate. The account must remain active and eligible.

The former Seller and Seller Pro plans are no longer offered for new subscriptions or renewals. Pausing them does not erase accounts, histories, amounts already recorded, or rights and obligations under existing agreements. Periods already paid for remain governed by their applicable terms.

For eligible historical agreements, Seller and Seller Pro commissions remain respectively 5% and 10% on eligible sales of products owned by Chez Marie Pou, actually paid by clients already attributed to the member's personal link. Commission is calculated before taxes, excluding delivery and credits used; a cancellation or refund may reduce or remove it. Attribution, eligibility and amounts remain subject to verification by Chez Marie Pou. No sales volume or income is guaranteed, and commissions may be subject to applicable tax obligations.

To propose products for our boutique, contact us for a reseller agreement. Each proposal is subject to our approval and separate terms specifying the accepted products, fees, responsibilities and settlement of sales. A Member or VIP account alone does not allow customers to publish their own products. Previously agreed consignment sales and obligations are preserved.

General app sharing creates no new remuneration or paid attribution. The separate product-sharing program below applies only when the app indicates that the feature is enabled; no reward is granted before activation or retroactively for earlier orders.

6.1. Share a product: 1% in credits

New sharing rule: 7 days, one product. This version applies to new attribution consents. Previously earned credits are neither removed nor recalculated. An already-confirmed attribution, or a still-valid earlier consent, keeps its recorded conditions. The 7 days limit attribution of new purchases; they are not an expiry date for earned credits.

An active Member or VIP account can use the share button on a product owned by Chez Marie Pou to obtain a personal link for that product. If someone else accepts that link and makes eligible purchases, the sharer receives 1% in internal credits. A general app link, a registration or a click alone earns no credits. VIP membership is not required to share.

7-day attribution. When a product link is opened and accepted in a signed-in account, that accepted click starts a 7-day window (7 × 24 hours). The last eligible product link accepted replaces the previous one for new purchases. Attribution is recorded for each confirmed addition to an order, not for a simple cart reservation. It covers only the specific product associated with the link, added during that window. Other products in the cart earn no credit for that sharer. Additions to the same weekly order may therefore be attributed to different sharers. A later payment follows the attribution already recorded.

Calculation. The 1% applies to the eligible portion of products actually paid for, after discounts and before taxes. Taxes, delivery and other fees, memberships, credit purchases, amounts paid with internal credits, consignment products and purchases through your own link are excluded. A sale already covered by a historical referral or commission agreement does not also earn the new 1%. Partial payments are allocated proportionally across the invoice; the calculation is cumulative and rounded to a whole credit, without increasing rewards by splitting a payment.

Availability. Sharing credits become usable when our system confirms receipt of payment, without waiting for the return period to end. An unpaid order, a bank authorization alone or a payment-provider return page is not sufficient. For example, $100 of fully eligible products paid with money earns the sharer $1 in credits, or 100 credits. These credits can be used in the app under the displayed rules; they are not a cash payout. The buyer's personal 2% VIP rebate is separate; a Member account has no personal purchase rebate.

Returns and corrections. A return, refund, dispute or error may result in a manual correction by Chez Marie Pou, limited to the reward concerned. The original reward and adjustment remain in the history. The tool does not itself refund the payment and does not create a negative credit balance. If credits have already been spent, the business reviews the situation; this tool creates no new debt or automatic charge. Mandatory consumer rights are unchanged.

Choice and privacy. The buyer can decline tracking and shop normally at the same price. Permission can be withdrawn under “My profile → My shares → My purchase-attribution consent.” Withdrawal stops attribution for future additions to an order; it does not erase records of previously confirmed additions, payments or corrections. The sharer sees their rewards and adjustments, not the buyer's identity, contact details, invoice or purchase details. See the product-sharing privacy notice.

Transparent sharing. Keep a visible disclosure near the link: “Rewarded link: I may receive credits if you buy.” Include it in every relevant post. Do not invent reviews, promise guaranteed income or present a rewarded link as a recommendation with no personal benefit. No purchase volume or income is guaranteed. To check attribution or request a review of a reward or adjustment, contact chezmariepou@gmail.com.

7. Delivery, pickup, returns and refunds

Pickup, drop-off point, delivery, return, exchange, cancellation and refund options are described on the Delivery, Returns and Refunds page. Mandatory consumer rights in Quebec continue to apply.

8. Auctions, games, missions and promotions

Every active account may bid in auctions; no VIP plan is required. Auctions, games, missions, contests, credits and promotions may have their own rules, including eligibility, duration, limits, winner selection, prizes and usage conditions. Important rules should be displayed before or during participation.

9. Communications

Chez Marie Pou may send messages related to accounts, orders, invoices, deliveries, payments and service requests. Promotional communications must respect applicable consent and unsubscribe rules.

10. Privacy

The use of personal information is governed by the Privacy Policy. Customers may request access, correction, consent withdrawal or deletion of certain information where permitted by law.

11. Prohibited uses

The service may not be used to commit fraud, bypass rules, interfere with app operation, create fake accounts, publish misleading content or violate another person's rights.

12. Mandatory rights and limits

Nothing in these terms limits the legal warranties, remedies or mandatory protections granted to consumers under applicable Quebec and Canadian laws. If a clause is invalid or unenforceable, the other clauses remain in effect to the extent permitted.

13. Changes

These terms may be updated to reflect changes to the app, services, policies or legal obligations. The update date indicates the most recent version.
