It is important to note that resizing cannot be performed if the difference is beyond plus or minus one size.

Once the CLIENT has indicated the new metric for resizing and returned the jewelry, D.BACHET will assess whether resizing is possible or if it is necessary to remake the jewel.

It is important to note that remaking the jewelry for resizing incurs a cost. A quote will be sent to the CLIENT by D.BACHET for approval.

Resizing requiring jewelry remaking will only be carried out by D.BACHET once the CLIENT has approved the quote and made the payment by bank transfer.

D.BACHET will confirm the receipt of the payment to the CLIENT and can then proceed with resizing the jewelry.

D.BACHET advises the CLIENT to confirm the accuracy of the ring size before validating the ORDER.

D.BACHET performs resizing if:

  • The 14-day period is respected.

  • The returned PRODUCTS are in perfect condition, without having been worn. PRODUCTS returned incomplete, damaged, or soiled will not be resized. PRODUCTS with scratches, even discreet ones, cannot be resized

  • D.BACHET confirms that the setting and all stones, or any other constituent element of the PRODUCT, are in conformity with the PRODUCT that was sent, without damage, modification, or intervention of any kind.

  • If resizing is more than plus or minus one size.

  • PRODUCTS that have been subject, at the request of the client, to personalized or specific modification (a change in the size of the stone or stones of different colors than what is visible on the SITE) cannot be resized.

  • Some special products cannot be resized. They are clearly presented as such to the CLIENT at the time of ordering.

Resizing is possible on a PRODUCT that has been engraved by D.BACHET, provided that the other conditions have been respected.

In the case of payment by credit card in two or three installments without interest, the total amount of the CLIENT's order will be divided into two or three equal parts.

  • The second installment will be charged one month after the order date.

  • The third installment, if applicable, will be charged two months after the order date.

If any installment payment fails, the full remaining balance will become immediately due and payable. It will not be possible to reschedule the remaining amount due.

7.4. Delay or Refusal of Payment

If the bank refuses to debit a card or other means of payment, the CLIENT must contact D.BACHET's Customer Service.

D.BACHET retains ownership of the PRODUCTS and may dispose of them freely if the CLIENT's package is returned to D.BACHET by the carrier because the address is incorrect or the CLIENT does not claim it within the specified time frame or the CLIENT does not respond to phone calls, voicemails, and electronic messages from D.BACHET (particularly if the email addresses or phone number provided by the CLIENT are incorrect).

ARTICLE 12. WARRANTIES

In addition to any commercial warranties that D.BACHET may offer for certain PRODUCTS, every CLIENT benefits from "legal" warranties for all PRODUCTS, which are detailed below, in accordance with Article L.111-1 of the Consumer Code.

Article 12.1. Conformity Guarantee

Article L.217-4 of the Consumer Code: "The seller delivers a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery. It is also liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when the latter is its responsibility under the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility."

Article L.217-5 of the Consumer Code: "The good is in conformity with the contract:

1° If it is fit for the customary use of a similar good and, if applicable:

- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;

- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer, or its representative, particularly in advertising or labeling;

2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement of the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and which the latter has accepted."

D.BACHET may be liable for defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery and for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when it is its responsibility or has been carried out under its responsibility.

The action resulting from a defect of conformity is prescribed within two (2) years from the delivery of the PRODUCT (Article L.217-12 of the Consumer Code).

In the event of a defect of conformity, the CLIENT may request the replacement or repair of the PRODUCT, at their choice. However, if the cost of the CLIENT's choice is manifestly disproportionate to the other possible option, considering the value of the PRODUCT or the significance of the defect, D.BACHET may proceed with a refund, without following the option chosen by the Client.

In the event that replacement or repair is impossible, D.BACHET undertakes to refund the price of the PRODUCT within thirty (30) days upon receipt of the returned PRODUCT and in exchange for the return of the PRODUCT by the CLIENT to the following address: :

10 Place Vendôme 75001 Paris France

Finally, the CLIENT is exempt from providing proof of the existence of the conformity defect of the PRODUCT during the twenty-four (24) months following the delivery of the PRODUCT (Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code)..

It is specified that this legal conformity guarantee applies independently of any commercial guarantee granted, if any, on the PRODUCTS.

Article 12.2. Article 12.2. Hidden Defects Guarantee

D.BACHET is liable for hidden defects in the sold PRODUCT that render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the CLIENT would not have acquired it, or would have given it a lesser price if they had known them (Article 1641 of the Civil Code).

This guarantee allows the CLIENT who can prove the existence of a hidden defect to choose between the refund of the price of the PRODUCT if returned and the refund of part of its price if the PRODUCT is not returned.

In the event that replacement or repair is impossible, D.BACHET undertakes to refund the price of the PRODUCT within thirty (30) days upon receipt of the returned PRODUCT and in exchange for the return of the PRODUCT by the CLIENT to the following address:

10 Place Vendôme 75001 Paris France

The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the CLIENT within a period of two (2) years from the discovery of the defect. (First paragraph of Article 1648 of the Civil Code)

Article 12.3. Repairs

The CLIENT purchases a D.BACHET jewel that has been handcrafted in its workshops in France, following the best traditions and techniques of jewelry.

This jewel is a luxury product that the CLIENT must take great care of.

D.BACHET advises the CLIENT to remove the jewelry during activities that could damage it, such as manual work and sports (this list is illustrative and not exhaustive).

To ensure that D.BACHET guarantees all its creations over time, D.BACHET recommends that the CLIENT entrust the jewelry to them once a year for inspection and beautification.

If the jewel requires a repair or restoration that is not due to a hidden or latent defect (impact, scratch, resizing beyond the deadline), if possible, it will be invoiced according to an established quote.

To have a jewel repaired, even several years after purchase, the CLIENT must contact D.BACHET who will inform them of the procedure for sending the jewel.

Upon its receipt, D.BACHET will have it examined and will prepare an estimate to determine the cost of the repairs.

Repairs will be carried out by D.BACHET once the CLIENT has approved the quote and made the payment by bank transfer.

D.BACHET will confirm the successful receipt of the transfer to the CLIENT and will then be able to proceed with the work to be done.

ARTICLE 13. LIABILITY

D.BACHET shall not be liable in any way for non-performance or improper performance of contractual obligations attributable to the CLIENT, particularly during the order placement process.

D.BACHET shall not be held responsible, nor deemed to have breached these terms, for any delay or non-performance where the cause of such delay or non-performance is due to force majeure as defined by French jurisprudence.

ARTICLE 14. FORCE MAJEURE

D.BACHET's liability shall not be incurred if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations described in these T&C results from an event of force majeure.

IThere is force majeure in contractual matters when an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of contract conclusion and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the debtor from fulfilling its obligation.

If the impediment is temporary, the obligation's performance is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies contract termination. If the impediment is permanent, the contract is automatically terminated, and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.

In this regard, D.BACHET's liability shall not be incurred, particularly in the event of a cyberattack, unavailability of materials, supplies, spare parts, personal equipment, or other items, interruption of electronic communications networks, as well as in the event of any circumstance or event beyond D.BACHET's control occurring after the conclusion of the T&C and preventing normal performance.
