Terms of Sale

Preamble

These Terms of Sale (hereinafter referred to as the "ToS") define the conditions applicable to sales concluded between, on the one hand, persons making a purchase via the website https://catherine-gran.myshopify.com/, hereinafter referred to as "the Buyer" and on the other hand the company SAS Gran Atelier, hereinafter referred to as "GA", owner of the website.

Any access and / or use of the website https://catherine-gran.myshopify.com/ implies compliance with all the articles of these terms and their acceptance. They therefore constitute a contract between GA and the Buyer.

GA reserves the right to make modifications to these ToS at any time, and without notice, it being understood that, if necessary, the modifications will be inapplicable to purchases previously accepted and confirmed by GA.

1. Products

The Products offered for sale are described and presented with the greatest possible accuracy. Although represented faithfully, the photographs and / or videos are not contractual.

The Products are offered for sale for an indefinite period of time and within the limits of available stocks. The goods sold to the Buyer are at his own risk. The guarantee owed by GA is limited only to legal guarantees according to the French law.

Our goods undergo rigorous control before shipment. However, some articles may have inherent quality defects or usual technically unavoidable imperfections (all our products are handmade). The very nature of the processes used in the manufacture of our products allows for variations in the intensity of colors and printing, as well as in the shape of the products.

As for the golden and platinum colors, it is expressly pointed out that these colors are fragile and require special care (no machine washing, for example).

2. Product prices

The prices are presented in euros all taxes included for France; it being specified that the amount of value added tax (VAT) is that in force in  France on the day of validation of the purchase.

The price indicated does not include the shipping costs necessary for the delivery of orders, unless expressly stipulated otherwise. These costs are therefore invoiced in addition and are the subject of an express indication prior to the final validation of the purchase. If the delivery is said to be free in a geographical area, the Product will therefore not be subject to the shipping costs of this geographical area.

GA reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, it being understood, however, that the Products will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in effect at the time of the order.

The transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration of the Products will be carried out after delivery and receipt of the Products by the Buyer.

Since all of our products are handcrafted, the standard manufacturing and delivery times for mainland France are 10 to 15 working days. For orders outside France, the deadlines may lengthen depending on the destination (sometimes count up to 15 days more). The shipment is made from Ateliers Arquié in Limoges, or from our workshop in Paris, in a packaging specially designed for the delivery of fragile objects around the world. GA reserves the choice of the carrier (UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc.) who will guarantee the follow-up of the order and confirm the delivery times.

The Buyer is responsible for the proper receipt of the Products on working days. GA undertakes to do everything in its power to ensure that the Products ordered are delivered on time.

However, in the event of force majeure, the delivery period will be extended as long as this force majeure exists. In the event of a case of force majeure persisting for a period of 90 days, the sale of the Product to the Buyer will be automatically terminated.

For an order containing several Products, the Products may be shipped in several packages depending on the manufacturing deadlines.

If the said Products have not been delivered within the period of 21 days from the delivery date provided for when ordering, and if this overrun is not due to a case of force majeure or a risk of supply of which the Purchaser would have been informed in advance, the Purchaser may proceed to the cancellation of the sale.

Neither the carriers (UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc.) nor GA can be held responsible for non-delivery due to an incorrect or incomplete delivery address.

For orders outside France, when the export package reaches its destination, the recipient will be responsible for paying any taxes or customs duties that apply to the country of destination. Local authorities can provide you with useful information.
