If you are under the age of majority or for any reason do not have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, one of your parents or guardians must place your order on your behalf and they will be asked to accept these Terms and Conditions. By placing an order through the Website, you represent and warrant that you are a bona fide customer and end-user making a purchase for your own use or the personal use of a third party, and that you will not deliver, sell or otherwise distribute our products or purchase our products for commercial purposes.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Bäumer makes every effort to ensure that product information is accurate. However, we cannot guarantee that the actual appearance of the jewellery corresponds exactly to its appearance on the screen. Colour variations due to computer processing may occur. In addition, information concerning the weight of precious metals and the caratage of precious stones is provided for guidance only and may vary slightly.

PERSONALISATION
Maison Bäumer offers a free personalisation service (engraving) on a selection of products. The customer must click on "add an engraving" and provide the requested information.

The House of Bäumer reserves the right to reject any order for personalised items containing inappropriate, illegal or contrary to the brand image of the House of Bäumer.

Orders for personalised products cannot be cancelled and are neither refundable nor exchangeable.

ORDERING ITEMS
Any order implies acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, of the "Confidentiality" Policy and of the "Cookies" Policy without prejudice to the specific contractual conditions concluded between the Parties.

Orders may be placed via the website.

In the event of prolonged session inactivity, product selection can no longer be guaranteed. The customer must restart the selection process.

To order a product, the customer must select it and click on "add to basket". For rings and bracelets, the customer must first select the size before adding it to the basket. This basket does not constitute an order that can bind the House of Bäumer.

Once the customer has selected the items they wish to purchase, they must confirm the basket and place the order. Successive pages will appear summarising the details of the items desired and their price as well as the delivery conditions and the means of payment that the customer must select.

The customer must have a customer account in order to be able to order and must therefore accurately enter their identity, contact details and a valid e-mail address as well as a password. Once the customer has registered his account on the site, he will receive an e-mail allowing him to access his account on the site with his permanent connection identifier and a password.

Maison Bäumer may from time to time modify the information concerning the ordering process or the registration of accounts. These modifications will be published on the site.

In case of modification of the information communicated by the customer on the site, the customer will have to connect to his account to make these changes. In addition, in the event that Maison Bäumer has reason to suspect that a third party has stolen a customer's login or password, Maison Bäumer will cancel and terminate the account and immediately notify the customer by e-mail or telephone.

Before finally confirming his order, the customer will have the opportunity to check the details of his order and its total price and to correct any errors, before finally confirming his order. All orders are subject to payment.

Once the customer has validated his order, Maison Bäumer will acknowledge receipt thereof electronically. When the payment is confirmed and carried out, a confirmation of the order will be sent to the customer by email. This confirmation of order will indicate the total amount of the order, the essential characteristics, the quantity and the price of the bought products.

Maison Bäumer recommends the customer to keep a paper or electronic copy of the order confirmation. In case of non-receipt of emails, the customer is invited to check his spam. The customer is informed that emails will be sent to the email address provided by the customer. Moreover, in the event of error of seizure of the electronic address, or not reception of the message confirming the forwarding of the order, the House Bäumer could not be held for person in charge. In this case, the sale will be considered as final with the exception of the cases of cancellation of the order by the House Bäumer, in particular in the event of unavailability of the articles, default of payment or suspicion of fraud. The customer may nevertheless exercise his right of withdrawal under the conditions set out in Article 11 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Pursuant to Article L213-1 of the Consumer Code, when an order is for an amount equal to or greater than 120 euros, Maison Bäumer retains the written record of the contract concluded between Maison Bäumer and a customer by electronic means for a period running from the conclusion of the contract to the date of delivery of the item and for a period of ten years thereafter (in accordance with Decree 2005-137 of 16 February 2005). The customer may access this document at any time, on request to the customer service department by e-mail at the following address: contact@baumer-vendome.com and providing proof of your identity.

The items offered for sale by Maison Bäumer are those which appear with the mention "Add to basket" on the Online Boutique, on the day of consultation of the Online Boutique by the customer, and within the limit of available stocks. Maison Bäumer reserves the right to withdraw items from sale at any time. In any event and in the event of total or partial unavailability of items after the order has been placed, the customer will be informed by e-mail as soon as possible of the unavailability of the item and of the total or partial cancellation of his/her order.

In case of total cancellation of the order, the customer service of Maison Bäumer will contact the customer to inform him of the cancellation of his order and proceed with the refund which will take place as soon as possible and at the latest within 14 days.

In the event of partial cancellation of the order :

- The order will be validated and the bank account will be debited for the full amount of the order.

- The buyer will be delivered the available items. Maison Bäumer's customer service will contact the customer to inform him/her of the unavailable items and proceed with the reimbursement, which will take place as soon as possible, and at the latest within 14 days following the dispatch of the available items.

Refusal of Orders

It is reminded that purchases made on the site are reserved for non-professional private customers for their own use (or for gift purposes within the family circle), which is why Maison Bäumer only sells its articles in quantities corresponding to the usual average needs of a household. In accordance with Article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code, Maison Bäumer reserves the right to refuse or cancel for legitimate reasons any order for which the number of items or the amount to be paid (for a single order or several orders combined) does not correspond to the usual average use of a household, any order that would suggest that an economic activity is carried out by the customer in connection with the items ordered or, more generally, any abnormal order within the meaning of applicable case law. Thus, orders may not include more than five (5) items as part of a single purchase on the site.

Finally, Maison Bäumer reserves the right to suspend or cancel any execution of an order and/or delivery, whatever its nature and level of execution, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any sum which would be due by the customer, in the event of a payment incident, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the Maison Bäumer website, including on the occasion of previous orders.

PRICE OF ITEMS
The price of the articles, indicated in euros, includes all taxes.

Unless expressly stipulated otherwise when ordering in the online shop, these prices do not include shipping costs, which are invoiced in addition to the price of the items purchased. Shipping costs will be indicated before the customer confirms the order. The different methods of shipment are set out below in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and are recalled on the website; they may be modified at any time by Maison Bäumer. Maison Bäumer therefore advises all customers to regularly consult the General Terms and Conditions of Sale on the website.

The selling prices of the items online on the website are those in effect at the time the order is placed by the customer. The selling prices of the items and the delivery costs may be modified by Maison Bäumer at any time. The customer will be informed of such changes before placing an order.

The House of Bäumer regularly checks that the prices charged are correct; however, some prices may be affected by an error. If the House of Bäumer becomes aware of a price error in the Order, the customer will be informed as soon as possible. The House of Bäumer reserves the right to cancel the order for the item affected by the pricing error. If the order has been paid for, the customer shall be reimbursed immediately for the amount paid and, if applicable, if the order has been delivered, it shall be returned to the House of Bäumer.

All orders must be paid for immediately when the order is placed. In case of unavailability of certain ordered items, the rules described in article 6 shall apply.

When the order is confirmed, the customer will receive written confirmation of the price paid for each item, detailing the price of the items and any delivery charges payable by the customer.

Please note that VAT will vary depending on the country of delivery of the items.

The actual VAT relating to the customer's order will be calculated at the time the order is due to be dispatched. If changes are made to the legislation in force between the date the order is placed and the date an order confirmation is received, this may result in changes to the sales tax linked to the customer's order. If this results in an increase in the sales tax for which the customer is liable, Maison Bäumer will contact the customer and ask them to reconfirm their order.

TERMS OF PAYMENT
The payment of the purchases of the customer on the site can be carried out:

- by credit card (cards from the "CB" network, Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard, American Express are accepted).

In order to process the order of the customer, the House Bäumer is likely to proceed to the preliminary authorization of its payment card. The amount of his purchase will be blocked on his payment card until the shipment of his order to the shipping address provided to the House Bäumer, an order confirmation will then be communicated and your payment card debited with the applicable purchase price. By submitting an offer to purchase Bäumer products on the Site, the Customer expressly authorizes Maison Bäumer to execute the payment card pre-authorization transaction and, if deemed necessary by Maison Bäumer, to transmit or obtain information (including updated information) about the Customer to or from third parties, including but not limited to the Customer's payment card number, in order to authenticate the Customer's identity, validate the Customer's payment card, obtain initial payment card authorization and authorize individual purchase transactions.

The refund of the sums paid for the item(s) returned, including delivery costs, will be made, depending on the method of payment for the items, by crediting the customer's bank account corresponding to the bank card used for payment.

The exchange or refund will only be made subject to :

the authenticity of the jewellery

In addition, any delivery charges paid by the customer will not be reimbursed.

CONFORMITY - GUARANTEE - AFTER-SALES SERVICE
All items for sale on the site benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity (as defined in articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the guarantee against hidden defects (as defined in articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), allowing the customer to return defective or non-compliant items free of charge.

Legal guarantee

Legal guarantee of conformity
The French Consumer Code stipulates the following in terms of the legal guarantee of conformity: Article L217-4: "The seller is obliged to deliver goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery. He shall also be liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his responsibility".

Article L211-5: "To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must :

1) Be fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable :

- correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;

- have the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect with regard to public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling.

2) Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter.

Guarantee against hidden defects
The French Civil Code stipulates the following in terms of the guarantee against hidden defects:

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code: "The seller is liable for any latent defects in the item sold that render it unfit for its intended use, or that impair that use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would only have paid a lower price for it, had he been aware of them".

Article 1648 of the Civil Code: "The action resulting from redhibitory 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, on pain of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be relieved of the defects or apparent lack of conformity."

Within the framework of the legal guarantee for hidden defects, Maison Bäumer, according to the customer's choice, undertakes, after evaluation of the defect :

- Either to exchange the product for a product of the same or similar value,

- refund the full price of the returned item,

- or to refund part of the price of the item if the customer decides to keep the item.

Exclusion of guarantees
The guarantee does not cover items that have been modified, repaired, integrated or added by the purchaser. The guarantee will not apply to visible defects. The guarantee will not cover items damaged in transit or as a result of misuse.

Methods of implementing legal guarantees
When the buyer acts under the legal guarantee of conformity, he :

- has a period of two years from the date of delivery of the item in which to take action;

- may choose between repairing or replacing the item, subject to the cost conditions set out in article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code;

- is exempt from having to prove the existence of the lack of conformity of the item.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted by Maison Bäumer.

Finally, the purchaser may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, he may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

These provisions do not exclude the right of withdrawal defined in article 11 above.

Consequences of the implementation of guarantees
Within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, Maison Bäumer undertakes, at the customer's choice :

- Either to replace the item with an identical item depending on available stocks,

- Or to reimburse the price of the item if the replacement of an item proves impossible.

COMPLAINTS - INFORMATION

Violation of these provisions exposes its author to the penalties provided for both by the Intellectual Property Code, in particular with regard to copyright infringement (article L.335-1 et seq.), trademark law (article L.716-1 et seq.) and by the Civil Code with regard to civil liability (articles 1382 et seq.).

The creation of hypertext links to any of the pages or elements of the site may only be made with the prior written authorisation of Maison Bäumer. This authorisation may be revoked at any time. The sites having a hypertext link directing towards the online shop or to which the online shop could refer are not under the control of Maison Bäumer and Maison Bäumer declines consequently any responsibility (in particular editorial) concerning the access and the contents of these sites.

SIGNATURE AND PROOF
The House of Bäumer works to protect its customers' personal information by ensuring a high level of security, but the customer also has a role to play in protecting his or her personal data. In particular, the customer must maintain the security of his online transactions by, for example, not communicating his identifier (e-mail address of the customer) and/or his password to anyone and by regularly changing his password. In this respect, Maison Bäumer cannot be held responsible for the disclosure of information concerning the customer to any individual having used his identifier (e-mail address of the customer) and/or his password. In this respect, the use of the customer's identifier (customer's e-mail address) and/or password shall constitute proof of the customer's identity and payment of the corresponding sums upon validation of the order. Maison Bäumer can in no case be held responsible for the fraudulent use of this information. The provision of the credit card number and the final validation of the Order shall constitute proof of acceptance of the said Order and shall constitute payment of the sums incurred by the entry of the items appearing on the order. The computerized registers, kept in the computer systems of Maison Bäumer and its partners will be considered as proof of communications, orders and payments between the Parties.

FORCE MAJEURE
The performance by Maison Bäumer of all or part of its obligations will be suspended in the event of the occurrence of a case of force majeure as defined in article 1218 of the Civil Code which would hinder or delay its performance.

Maison Bäumer will inform the customer of such a fortuitous event or force majeure within eight (8) days of its occurrence. The occurrence of such an event shall result in the suspension of the execution of these general terms and conditions of sale.

LIABILITY
The House of Bäumer can only be held responsible for direct and foreseeable damage at the time of the order of the product by the customer resulting from the use of the website www.baumer-vendome.com by the customer as well as the articles sold.

Maison Bäumer cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect damage that may result from the use of the site, including inaccessibility, loss of data, deterioration, destruction or viruses that may affect the computer equipment of users and/or the presence of viruses on the Site.

Maison Bäumer does not guarantee the legality or accessibility of the content of the website www.baumer-vendome.com for all countries of the world. The customer must therefore ensure compliance with the regulations applicable in the country in which the customer uses the website.

LANGUAGE OF THE CONTRACT
For the convenience of customers, the site and the General Terms and Conditions of Sale are available in two languages: French and English. However, in the event of a contradiction between the French and English versions, the French version shall prevail. Only the French version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be deemed authentic between the Parties.

DISPUTES - APPLICABLE LAW
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be governed by and construed in accordance with French law. In the event of a dispute relating to the application and/or interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the customer may have recourse to a conventional mediation procedure or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure. Any consumer dispute may be settled out of court by mediation with the CMAP - Centre de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Paris. To submit a dispute to the mediator, the customer may (i) fill in the form on the CMAP website: www.cmap.fr under the "You are: a consumer" tab (ii) send the request by ordinary or registered post to CMAP Médiation Consommation, 39 avenue Franklin D.

The customer remains free to accept or refuse recourse to mediation and, in the event of recourse to mediation, each party is free to accept or refuse the solution proposed by the mediator.

In the absence of an amicable solution or recourse to mediation, all disputes to which the General Terms and Conditions of Sale may give rise shall be submitted to the competent court of the customer's domicile.

The fact that one of the Parties does not claim from the other Party a breach of any of its obligations referred to in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall not be interpreted for the future as a waiver of the obligation in question.
