Provided Christian Dior Couture makes our best efforts to reduce the delay, we will not be liable for the delay caused by the event. However, if there is a risk of significant delay, you may contact Christian Dior Couture to cancel the contract and obtain a full refund for any Item that you have paid for but have not yet received.
