Preamble

The present Terms and Conditions exclusively govern relations with the company ALEXANDRE DE PARIS.
ALEXANDRE DE PARIS reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time. They will be applicable as soon as they appear online.
Products
The products governed by the present Terms and Conditions are those which appear on the website and are indicated as sold and shipped by ALEXANDRE DE PARIS (the “Products”). They are offered while stocks last.
The key features of the Products are described with the greatest possible accuracy.
Pricing
Product prices are indicated in Euros inclusive of all tax for metropolitan France and in Euro exclusive of taxes for international sales. For metropolitan France, they include VAT and any discounts that apply on the day of the order. They don't include any taxes, including customs fees, depending on the laws of the country of delivery, that will be directly paid by the client.
Product prices do not include shipping costs. Delivery charges will be specified prior to validation of the order.
If one or several taxes or contributions, including environmental, were to be created or modified, whether upwards or downwards, this change may be reflected in the selling price of the Products on the website and various sales media.
However, a price cannot be changed once your order is confirmed.

Delivery terms
The products are delivered to the address indicated by the buyer on the order form and only in the geographical areas that we serve.
After order confirmation and subject to the availability of the items ordered, Alexandre de Paris makes his best efforts to have your order delivered by his carrier within a maximum of 48 business hours, after delivery of the order to the carrier for delivery addresses in France and 6 days abroad (see delivery times).
ALEXANDRE DE PARIS through alexandredeparis-store.com undertakes to make his best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the time specified above. These deadlines are given as an indication and any overrun may not give rise to any damages and interest or withholding by the Customer.
In any case, the customer may suspend or cancel its payment without notifying Alexandre de Paris and without prior approval of Alexandre de Paris.
All bank cancellation fees are the responsibility of the customer with his establishment.
However, if the products ordered were not delivered within 30 days after the validation of your order:
- First you shall ask us, by registered post with proof of receipt or any written way made through lasting support (such as e-mail for instance) to perform the delivery within an additional reasonable period;
- In case the delivery hasn’t occurred during this additional time, you may, under the same ways, inform us that you terminate the contract;
- The contract will be considered terminated upon receipt of the letter or email informing us of the cancellation unless we have performed the delivery between the sending of your mail and its receipt.
The sums paid by the Customer will then be reimbursed within fourteen (14) days of the request for cancellation of the order, excluding any compensation or withholding.
For reasons of availability, an order can be delivered in several times to the Customer. The customer only pays for one delivery. If the Customer wants to distribute the delivery of his order on 2 different delivery addresses, he must place 2 separate orders, and will have to pay the respective delivery costs to these two orders.
All products leave our premises in perfect condition.
Each product (not discounted or targeted by a commercial action of Alexandre de Paris and its partners) is delivered in a suede pouch.
Any product discounted or targeted by a commercial action of Alexandre de Paris and its partners, will be delivered without a suede pouch.
The Customer must always check the package upon receipt and will have a period of three (3) days from receipt of the products to file a claim with the carrier in case of missing products or degradation of the delivered products.

In case of error of delivery or exchange, any product to exchange or refund must be returned to the seller as a whole and in its original packaging in perfect condition at the address of the seller.
To be accepted, any return must be reported and validated by Alexandre de Paris.

Product warranties
Products for sale on the website are covered by product compliance (L.217-7 and following in the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against latent defects (article 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code), allowing you to return defective or noncompliant products.
Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code: non-conformities which appear within a period of twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods shall be presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless there is evidence to the contrary. For second-hand goods, this deadline is set at six months.
The seller can challenge this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the good or the non-conformity in question.
Article L.217-8 of the Consumer Code: the consumer is entitled to demand that the asset conforms to the contract. He shall not, however, dispute its compliance on the grounds of a
defect already known to him, or whose existence he could not deny of knowing at the time of concluding the contract. The same shall apply when the defect has its origin in materials supplied by the consumer.
Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code: Upon a lack of conformity, the consumer is entitled to ask for the goods to be repaired or replaced. However, the seller may not proceed after the choice of the consumer if this choice involves a manifestly disproportionate cost in regards to the other solution, given the worth of the good or the nature of the defect. Unless he cannot, he then has to proceed according to the other possibility not chosen by the consumer.
Article L.217-10 of the Consumer Code: If the good cannot be repaired nor replaced, the consumer may return the good and be refunded for its cost, or keep the good and be refunded for a portion of the price.
He may do the same in the following cases:
1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within a period of one month after the consumer’s claim
2° or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer given the nature of the good and the use the buyer intends to make of it.
However, the sale cannot be rescinded if the non-conformity is minor.
Article L.217-11 of the Consumer Code: Implementation of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 is free of charge for the buyer. Likewise, these provisions do not exclude the benefit of damages and interest.
Article L.217-12 of the Consumer Code: the action resulting from the non-conformity shall lapse after two years from the delivery of the goods.
Article L.217-13 of the Consumer Code: The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to enforce the action resulting from redhibitory vices pursuant to articles 1641 to 1649 of Civil Code or any action, based on contract or any other basis legally enforceable.
Article L.217-13 of the Consumer Code: Recourse action may be undertaken by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the supplier of the tangible asset, according to the principles of Civil Code.
Article 1641 of the Civil Code: the seller is bound to a warranty on account of the latent defects of the good sold, which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he known of them.
Article 1642 of the Civil Code: the vendor is not responsible for visible defects that can have been discerned by the buyer.
Article 1644 of the Civil Code: Pursuant to articles 1641 and 1643, the consumer may choose either to return the good and be refunded for its cost, or keep the good and be refunded for a portion of the price, decided by experts.
Article 1645 civil Code: if the seller was aware of the defects in the good, he is bound, not only to refund the price paid, but also all damages to the purchaser.
Article 1646 of the Civil Code: if the seller was unaware of the defects in the good, he is bound only to return the price paid, and to reimburse to the buyer the expenses incurred by the sale.
Article 1647 of the Civil Code: if the good with build-in defects disappeared because of its bad quality, the seller shall bear the loss and refund the buyer with the purchase price as well as any damages pursuant to the two previous articles.
The buyer shall bear any loss caused by fortuitous event.
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code: an action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within a period of two (2) years from the discovery of the defect.
From its date of purchase and upon presentation of your ticket, your accessory Alexandre de Paris carries a one (1) year guarantee on the following events:
- Loss of SWAROVSKI™ crystal
- Unsticking of a piece of the product
- Loss or break of spring or metal fastening
If your product is more than one year old or you cannot prove your purchase, a contribution of 20 euros will be invoiced per item returned.
Please note that, with the exception of legal warranty, even during the warranty period, we will not be able to:
- accept worn, tarnished (hairspray/spray), rusty, broken or dirty product
- replace missing part
In order to ensure that we are in a good position to take charge of your repair, we ask you to send us photos of your accessory.

Force Majeure
ALEXANDRE DE PARIS has a performance obligation for all the steps in the ordering process, as well as the steps following the conclusion of the contract.
Thus ALEXANDRE DE PARIS undertakes to describe with great accuracy the products sold on the website.
On the other hand, neither party shall have breached its contractual obligations, insofar as their fulfillment was to be delayed, hindered or prevented by an unforeseeable circumstance or force majeure (Act of God).
A case of force majeure is any compelling fact or circumstance, outside of the parties’ purview, unforeseeable, inevitable, independent of the will of the parties and which cannot be prevented by them, despite all possible and reasonable efforts.
The following events shall be explicitly considered as cases of force majeure or fortuitous events, in addition to those usually accepted by case law and the French courts: disruption in means of transportation, earthquake, fire, storms, flood, lightning, telecommunication networks down or difficulties specific to telecommunications networks external to the customers, epidemic, pandemia ...
The party affected by such circumstances shall notify the other within ten working days as of the date on which it is informed of them.
The two parties shall then consult with each other, within a period of three months, unless this is impossible due to the force majeure case, to examine the impact of the event and agree on the conditions in which the execution of the contract will be continued.
Should the force majeure situation last longer than one a month, these general conditions may be terminated by the injured party.
Evidence
In all cases, the credit card number provided on line and the final confirmation of the order shall be deemed evidence of proof of completeness of the said order in accordance with articles 1366 and 1367 of the Civil Code, and shall constitute payability of the amounts incurred through the capture of the products listed on the order form.
This validation constitutes a signature and an express acceptance of all transactions carried out on the website. However, in the event of fraudulent use of the buyer’s credit card, the buyer is invited, as soon as he has determined this fraudulent use, to contact Customer Service by calling +33 7 85 59 15 11 (cost of a local call from a landline, additional charges may apply depending on the operator).
