GUARANTEES COMMERCIAL

In addition to the legal warranties mentioned in 8.2 to which we are bound, there is a commercial warranty that covers the repair of jewelry (replacement of clasps, broken chains, stones to be reattached).

The Customer can request the application of this guarantee by mail (by returning the Product to us) or by coming directly to the store with the Product and the proof of purchase.

This guarantee is free of charge. We will reimburse you for the shipping costs.

This warranty runs from the date of delivery of the Product for a period of one (1) year.

This commercial warranty does not apply to

  • non-conforming uses as well as defects in use ;
  • deterioration due to an error of handling, abusive or abnormal use, intentional or accidental physical modification, use for professional or commercial purposes;
  • in the event of abnormal maintenance 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.

Article L 217-16 of the French Consumer Code: When the buyer asks the seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee that was granted to him at the time of the acquisition or repair of a movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least 7 days is added to the duration of the guarantee that remained to run. This period shall run from the date of the purchaser's request for intervention or from the time the item in question is made available for repair, if this is after the request for intervention.

WARRANTYS LEGAL

Unless the Customer is a legal entity or a natural person acting for purposes related to its commercial, industrial, artisanal or liberal activity, the Customer benefits in any event from the legal guarantees on the basis of which it may act. Stellar is thus liable for defects in conformity and latent defects under the conditions provided for in Articles L 217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code respectively.

Article L 217-4 of the Consumer Code: The seller is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity that exist at the time of delivery. He is also responsible for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter has been put at his charge by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility.

Article L 217-5 of the Consumer Code: To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must: 1° Be suitable for the use usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable : - correspond to the description given by the seller and have the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; - have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling; 2° Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by the latter

Article L 217-7 of the Consumer Code: Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months. The seller can fight this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the good or the claimed lack of conformity.

Article L 217-9 of the Consumer Code: In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing or replacing 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. In such a case, he is obliged to proceed, unless it is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

Article L 217-10 of the French Consumer Code: If the repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and have part of the price returned. The same option is open to him: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon in application of article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the good and the use he is seeking. However, the sale cannot be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.

Article L. 217-11 of the French Consumer Code: The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall be without cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the allocation of damages.

Article L 217-12 of the Consumer Code: The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the goods.

Article L 217-16 of the French Consumer Code: When the buyer asks the seller, during the course of the commercial warranty granted to him at the time of the acquisition or repair of a movable good, for a repair covered by the warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the warranty that remained to run. This period runs from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or from the time the goods are made available for repair, if this is after the request for intervention.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is bound by the warranty for latent defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish that purpose that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lesser price for it, if he had known of them.

Article 1644 of the Civil Code:In the case of articles 1641 and 1643the buyer has the choice to return the item and have the price returned, or to keep the item and have part of the price returned.

Article 1648, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code: The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect.

When he acts in legal guarantee of conformity, the Customer :

  • has a period of 2 years from the delivery of the goods to act;
  • may choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L 217-9 of the Consumer Code;
  • is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 24 months following the delivery of the good.

The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of the commercial warranty granted by Stellar.

When acting under the legal warranty for hidden defects, the Customer may choose between rescission of the sale or reduction of the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

CUSTOMER'S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

In accordance with the provisions of articles L 221-18 and following of the Consumer Code, the Customer may cancel his order at his own discretion without giving any reason. To do so, he has a right of withdrawal. He may exercise this right (or a third party designated by him, with the exception of the carrier) within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt of the Product.

Before the expiration of this 14-day period, the Customer must inform Stellar of his/her decision to withdraw either by sending the withdrawal form at the bottom of the GTC by cutting it out or by sending it in your package, after having duly filled it out, or by sending an e-mail clearly and unambiguously expressing this decision and mentioning the order number to: bonjour@stellar.paris

The Customer must return the Product, at his/her own expense (unless the Product is not in conformity or has a manufacturing defect), to Stellar, at the address mentioned on the withdrawal form, at the latest within 14 days following the communication of his/her decision to withdraw.

Stellar strongly advises its Customers to return the products by registered mail. Customers may also choose the carrier of their choice. It is therefore recommended that proof of this return be provided, which implies that the Products be returned with tracking or by any other means giving a certain date.

Stellar will issue a credit note to the Customer for the amount of the returned Product, including shipping costs, no later than 14 days from the date that Stellar actually picks up the Product or from the date that the Customer provides proof of shipment of the Product.

Returned Products cannot be replaced or exchanged. A new order will have to be placed online.

Regarding the return of personalized products: Article L 121-20-2 of the Consumer Code provides that the right of withdrawal can not be exercised for contracts for the supply of goods made to the specifications of the consumer or clearly personalized. However, we undertake to reimburse you for clearly personalized products that do not correspond to your order (defective or non-compliant).

The contract is effective as soon as it is concluded and cannot be terminated unilaterally by either party, unless the Customer uses his right of withdrawal under the conditions laid down in Articles L 221-18 et seq. of the Consumer Code.
