VIII - GUARANTEES

Legal warranties

According to articles L.217-4 and following of the French Consumer Code, the Seller is bound to deliver a good that conforms to the contract concluded with the Customer and to answer for any defects of conformity existing during the delivery of the Product. The guarantee of conformity may be exercised if a defect exists on the day the Customer takes possession of the Product. However, when the defect appeared within 24 months after this date (or within 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the Product is sold second-hand), it is presumed to meet this condition. But, in accordance with Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code, "the Seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the Product or the claimed lack of conformity."
On the other hand, after this 24-month period (or 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the product is sold second-hand), it will be up to the Customer to prove that the defect did exist at the time of taking possession of the product.

In accordance with Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code: "in the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the good. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

According to articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, the Customer can ask for the exercise of the guarantee of hidden defects if the defects presented did not appear at the time of the purchase, were prior to the purchase (and thus do not result from the normal wear and tear of the Product for example) and are sufficiently serious (the defect must either render the Product unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or diminish that purpose to such an extent that the purchaser would not have purchased the Product or would not have purchased it at such a price had he known of the defect).

In case of non-conformity of a delivered Product, it may be returned to the Seller who will exchange it. In case of impossibility of exchange of the Product (obsolete Product, out of stock, etc.) the Customer will be refunded by transfer of the amount of his order. The costs of the exchange or refund procedure (in particular the cost of returning the Product) shall be borne by the Seller. Claims, requests for exchange or refund for a non-compliant Product must be made by e-mail: hello@lambertineparis.com In order to ensure a fast and quality treatment of the request for guarantee, the Customer will specify his coordinates, his order number and the reference of the article concerned and will detail as much as possible the problem met and, as far as possible, will join to the e-mail a photograph of the defect of the product.

This guarantee does not apply to:
-non-conforming uses as well as to defects of use;
-deterioration due to a handling error, abusive or abnormal use, intentional or accidental physical modification, use for professional or commercial purposes
-in the event of abnormal maintenance operations or lack of maintenance and hygiene;
-in case of natural wear and tear;
-interventions carried out on the jewel by any person not mandated by the Customer Service as well as deterioration resulting from such an intervention.
