  • Delivery will take place at the delivery address indicated by the Customer when ordering.
  • Once the order has been delivered, the Customer receives the certificates associated with the items in the order via email.

Product offers are valid as they appear on the Site, subject to stock availability.

A sale is considered final only after full payment. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check the accuracy of the order and report any errors immediately.

Any order placed on the Site www.loyaleparis.com establishes a distance or off-premises contract between the Customer and the Seller.

The Seller reserves the right to cancel or refuse any Order from a Customer with whom an existing dispute exists in relation to the payment of a previous order.

Any cancellation of the order by the Customer after its acceptance by the Seller can only occur as long as the package has not been shipped by the Seller (notwithstanding provisions relating to the applicability or inapplicability of the legal right of withdrawal).

ARTICLE 4 – Payment Terms and Conditions

The price is paid by secure payment, according to the following methods: bank card (CB, Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay.

The price is payable in full by the Customer on the day the order is placed.

Payment data are encrypted using the protocol defined by the approved payment service provider for banking transactions carried out on the site www.loyaleparis.com.

Payments made by the Customer will only be considered final after actual receipt by the Seller of the sums due.

The Seller will not be required to deliver the Items ordered by the Customer if the latter does not pay the price in full in accordance with the terms stated above.

ARTICLE 5 – Delivery

The Products ordered by the Customer will be delivered in mainland France or in any other country, unless otherwise specified.
Production times vary depending on the item. Delivery times are estimated at 48 hours once the production of the items is completed, to the address indicated by the Customer when the order was placed.

Delivery consists of the transfer to the Customer of physical possession or control of the Product. Barring special circumstances or the unavailability of one or more products, the products ordered will be delivered in a single shipment.
The Seller undertakes to make their best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the time specified above.

In the event of late delivery, the order is not cancelled.
The Seller will inform the Customer by email that Delivery will be delayed. The sale may be dissolved at the written request of the Customer under the conditions set out in articles L 216-2, L 216-3 and L241-4 of the Consumer Code of French Law. The amount paid by the Customer will then be refunded within fourteen days at the latest after the contract termination date, with the exception of any compensation or deduction.

Deliveries are made by an independent carrier, to the address given by the Customer when the order was placed, which must be easily accessible to the carrier.
If the Customer decides to use a carrier of their own choosing, delivery is deemed to have been made upon delivery of the Products ordered by the Seller to the carrier which accepted them without reservation. The Customer thus acknowledges that it is the carrier’s responsibility to make the delivery and has no recourse against the Seller in the event of a failure to deliver the goods.

In the event of a specific request from the Customer concerning the conditions of packaging or transport of the products ordered, duly accepted in writing by the Seller, related costs will be subject to a specific additional invoice, in accordance with a quote previously accepted in writing by the Customer.

The Customer must check the condition of the delivered Products. They have a period of fourteen calendar days from delivery to formulate complaints by electronic mail to the address contact@loyaleparis.com, recalling the reference and the date of the Order, accompanied by all relevant supporting documents (photographs in particular). After this period or if these procedures are not complied with, the Products will be deemed compliant and free from defect and no claim shall be deemed valid by the Seller.

The Seller will reimburse or replace as soon as possible and at their own expense any delivered Products of which the lack of compliance or apparent or hidden defects have been duly proven by the Customer, under the conditions provided for in Articles L 217-4 et seq. of French Consumer Code and those provided in the present Terms and Conditions.

The transfer of risks of loss and damage relating thereto will only be carried out when the Customer takes physical possession of the Products. The Products therefore travel at the risk and peril of the Seller except when the Customer chose the carrier themselves. In this case, the risks are transferred when the goods are handed over to the carrier.

ARTICLE 6 – Transfer of ownership

The transfer of ownership of the Seller’s Products to the Customer will be made only after full payment by the latter, regardless of the date of delivery of the above-mentioned products.

ARTICLE 7: Right of withdrawal

According to the terms of article L221-18 of the Consumer Code of France, “The consumer has a period of fourteen days to exercise their right of withdrawal from a contract concluded at a distance, following a direct telephone call or off premises, without having to justify their decision or bear any costs other than those provided for in Articles L. 221-23 to L. 221-25.

The period mentioned in the first paragraph runs from the day:

1° Upon which the contract is established, for contracts concerning the provision of services and those mentioned in Article L. 221-4;

2° Upon which the goods are received by the consumer or a third party designated by them, other than the carrier, for contracts concerning the sale of goods. For contracts concluded off-premises, the consumer may exercise their right of withdrawal from the date of entering into the agreement.

In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order of a good consisting of multiple lots or pieces with delivery spread over a defined period, the period runs from receipt of the last good or lot or receipt of the last piece.

For contracts for regular delivery of goods during a defined period, the period runs from the receipt of the first good. 

The right of withdrawal can be exercised online, using the withdrawal form attached and also available on the Site, or any other unambiguous declaration expressing the desire to withdraw, in particular by mail addressed to the Seller at the postal or e-mail address indicated in ARTICLE 1 of the Terms and Conditions.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete with all packaging, accessories, instructions, or other materials provided allowing their resale in new condition, along with the invoice.

If the Customer has already activated the Blockchain Certificate of Authenticity for the item they wish to return, the Customer must also transfer ownership of the certificate online to the Seller.

Personalised, custom-made or engraved jewelry cannot be returned.
Return costs will be borne by the Customer.

Refund will be made within 14 days following receipt by the Seller of the Products returned by the Customer in accordance with this article.

“The product is deemed compliant with the contract:

1° If it is suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, if applicable:

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

– if it possesses the features that a buyer might reasonably expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, particularly in advertising and labelling;
