Notification of the exercise of the right of return can be made: by e-mail to the address serviceclient@francinebramliparis.com . The Customer can in particular use the following text:

To the attention of Francine Bramli Paris – Site Customer Service

159 rue du temple, 75003 Paris

Ordered on …….. / received on ……….:
If you know the order number: ……….

Consumer name:……..
Consumer address:………..
Consumer signature (only if this form is notified on paper):
Date :…………

Francine Bramli Paris will acknowledge receipt of the Client's request.

After notifying Francine Bramli Paris of their wish to benefit from the right of withdrawal, the Customer has 14 (fourteen) days to return the Product (including the cover) by post in its original condition and packaging to the Address of Francine Bramli Paris.

The Product must not have been used/worn, nor have suffered any deterioration, however minimal, and be in a perfectly clean condition. This right of withdrawal is exercised without penalty, with the exception of return costs, which remain the responsibility of the Customer.

Within a maximum period of 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the Product at the Address of Francine Bramli Paris, the Customer will be reimbursed for the sums paid.

Article 10: Guarantees

For jewelry made from natural materials, the stone and its colors may differ from one model to another.

10.1 Francine Bramli Paris does not provide any guarantee for apparent defects, detectable after normal examination of the Product, which may affect the said delivered Product which has not been reported by the Customer under the conditions stipulated below.

The Customer remains liable for any depreciation of the Products resulting from handling of the Products other than that necessary for the use of the Products.

10.2 Legal guarantee of conformity:

The legal guarantee of conformity covers defects in conformity of the Product and packaging in the following situations:
- Good unfit for the use usually expected of a similar good,
- Goods that do not match the description given by the seller,
- Goods which do not have the qualities announced by the seller or agreed with the Customer.

To benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity, the defect in the Product must exist on the day of purchase. The Customer is exempt from providing proof of the existence of the defect in conformity of the good during the 24 months following delivery of the Product. If the defect appears more than 24 months after purchase, the Customer cannot benefit from the guarantee of conformity unless he can prove that the defect existed on the day of purchase.

Francine Bramli Paris will request a return of the Product in order to carry out an appraisal of the Product.

In the event of a lack of conformity, the Customer chooses between repair and replacement of the Product.

However, Francine Bramli Paris may not proceed according to the Customer'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 extent of the defect. It is then required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the other method.

If repair and replacement of the Product are not possible, the Customer may return the Product and receive a refund, or keep the Product and receive a partial refund. However, the sale cannot be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.

The Customer has a period of 2 (two) years to return the Product to Francine Bramli Paris by enclosing with its shipment (i) a letter explaining the problem indicating the date of discovery of the non-conformity, (ii) the delivery slip and (iii) the invoice.

10.3 In accordance with article 1641 of the Civil Code, Francine Bramli Paris is also bound by the legal guarantee against hidden defects.

To apply the hidden defects guarantee, the Product defect must meet the following 3 conditions:
- Be hidden, that is to say not visible when purchasing,
- Make the property unfit for the use for which it is intended, or significantly reduce its use,
- Exist at the time of purchase.

It is up to the Customer to prove the existence of a hidden defect.

The Customer has a period of 2 (two) years to return the Product to Francine Bramli Paris by enclosing with its shipment (i) a letter explaining the problem indicating the date of discovery of the hidden defect, (ii) proof of the existence of the hidden defect (iii) the delivery slip and (iv) the invoice.

Francine Bramli Paris will carry out an appraisal of the Product upon receipt.

If Francine Bramli Paris considers that the guarantee of hidden defects can be implemented, it will reimburse the price of the Product appearing on the purchase invoice, within a period allowing it to carry out a prior appraisal of the Product.

Article 11: Formation of the contract and proof

The "validation click" on "pay now" constitutes proof of the formation of the sales contract. This electronic validation between the parties has the same value as a handwritten signature.
