10.1. Legal guarantee
The Seller is subject to the legal guarantee conditions provided for in Articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code and Articles 1641, 1644 and 1648 of the Civil Code:
Art. L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code:
“The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.
It is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when this has been made its responsibility by the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility.
Art. L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code:
“The property complies with the contract:
1° If it is suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, where applicable:
- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the latter presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it has 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 labeling;
2° Or if it presents the characteristics defined by mutual agreement by the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted.
Art. L. 217-7 of the Consumer Code:
“Defects of conformity which appear within twenty-four months from delivery of the goods are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months.
The seller may challenge this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.
Art. L. 217-8 of the Consumer Code:
"The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. However, he cannot contest conformity by invoking a defect that he knew about or could not have been unaware of when he entered into the contract. The same applies when the defect originates from the materials that he himself supplied."
Art. L. 217-9 of the Consumer Code:
“In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the goods.
However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate compared to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.
Art. L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code:
"If 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 refunded.
The same faculty 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 following the buyer's complaint;
2° Or if this solution cannot be achieved without major inconvenience for the latter given the nature of the property and the use he is seeking.
However, the sale cannot be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.
Art. L. 217-11 of the Consumer Code:
“The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place without any cost to the buyer.
These same provisions do not prevent the allocation of damages.
Art. L. 217-12 of the Consumer Code:
“The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed after two years from the delivery of the goods.”
Art. 1641 of the Civil Code:
"The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them."
Art. 1644 of the Civil Code:
"In the case of Articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price refunded, or of keeping the item and having part of the price refunded."
Art. 1648 of the Civil Code:
"The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect.
In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year following the date on which the seller can be discharged from apparent defects or lack of conformity.
The preceding provisions do not exclude the application of the legal guarantee of hidden defects of articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, in accordance with the provisions of article L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code.
The Customer may exercise these guarantees by sending his request to:
STUDIO NEUTRAL
Customer Service
78 Rue des Gravilliers – 75003 Paris
Telephone: 01.40.09.13.44
Email: serviceclient@yparis.fr
When the Customer acts under the legal guarantee of conformity, he:
- will benefit from a period of two years from delivery of the goods to act;
- may choose between repair or replacement of the goods subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L. 217-9 of the Consumer Code;
- will be exempt from providing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the six months following delivery of the goods.
The guarantee of conformity will apply regardless of the commercial guarantee granted.
The Customer may also decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects in the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code and, in this case, may choose between termination of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
10.2 Commercial guarantee
In addition to the legal guarantees referred to above, there is a commercial guarantee which covers the repair of jewelry (replacement of clasp, broken chain, soldering operations, etc.).
The Customer may request the application of this guarantee by mail (by returning the Product) or by going directly to the store with the Product and proof of purchase.
This warranty is free and runs from the date of delivery of the Product for a period of one (1) year.
This commercial guarantee does not apply:
to improper use and defects in use;
to deterioration due to handling error, abusive or abnormal use, intentional or accidental physical modification, use for professional or commercial purposes;

in case of natural wear and tear;
to interventions carried out on the jewel by any person not authorized by Customer Service as well as damage resulting from such intervention.

"When the buyer requests from the seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee granted to him upon the acquisition or repair of a movable good, a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least 7 days is added to the duration of the guarantee which remained to run. This period runs from the buyer's request for intervention or from the making available for repair of the good in question, if this making available is subsequent to the request for intervention."
