Last updated: June, 2018

 

BERLUTI SA in France (hereafter called "BERLUTI") markets BERLUTI articles.

BERLUTI, which strives to continually provide optimum satisfaction for its customers, decided to set up a distance selling network, using telephone and electronic means (Internet) for some of its products, in parallel to its chain of stores.

ARTICLE 8: THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE CONTRACT AND RETURN OF ARTICLES

The customer has a right to withdraw from the contract according to article L.221-18 and following of the Consumer Code under optimum conditions.

All purchases made on the site after November 1st can be exchanged or returned for a refund until January 31st, 2021

The customer therefore has a maximum of fourteen  (14) days to exercise his or her right to withdraw, without having to justify this decision, after:

  1. the customer, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the customer, physically took possession of the article; or
  2. in case of a contract for several goods ordered by a single order and if the goods are delivered separately, after the customer or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the customer, has physically took possession of the last good.

In accordance with article L.221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right to withdraw cannot notably be exercised for orders which concern:

  • The supply of goods made to the customer’s specifications or which have been clearly personalised;
  • Goods which have been unsealed by the consumer and which cannot be returned due to hygiene or health protection reasons.

The customer must use the withdrawal form at the bottom of these General Terms of Sale or any other unequivocal declaration for notifying the decision to withdraw before the expiry of the withdrawal period and send it to BERLUTI - Customers Service, LVMH customers services 29 rue des Pyramides, 75001 Paris, or by email to contact@berluti.com, or via the form "Contact us by e-mail" available on the website www.berluti.com.

The customer can choose between one of the following methods in order to return the articles received:

• Either a free collection service from an address chosen by the customer in the same country it was delivered to. The customer must contact BERLUTI – LVMH Customer Services 29 rue des Pyramides, 75001 Paris on +33 (1) 47 20 01 77 for Metropolitan France (price of a local call) or +44 20 3901 2683 for other countries (non-surcharged call) within the above-mentioned fourteen (14) day time limit from notification by the customer of the exercise of his or her right of withdrawal, to fix an appointment (date and time slot) for BERLUTI to collect the article(s). BERLUTI’s Quality Department will examine the returned articles beforehand. The customer will be notified of the refund, or the reasons for refusing the refund and the conditions for returning the articles by Customer Services within a period of 10 working days from the time of removal of the products and in any case, within a maximum period of 14 days from the notification by the customer of the exercise of his or her right of withdrawal.

• Or return the article to the store: the customer can drop the article off in one of the BERLUTI stores offering this service in the same country it was delivered to, and listed on the website. No refund or exchange will be made in the store. The article will be examined by BERLUTI’s Quality Department and the customer will be informed of the refund, or the reasons for refusing the refund by email or by Customer Services within 14 days from the date on which it is informed of the customer’s decision to withdraw. This refund may be deferred until recovery of the goods or until the customer has provided proof of the shipment of the goods, the considered date being the earlier.

The sums paid by the customer will be refunded using the payment method used for the article(s) by crediting the customer’s bank account for the bankcard used for the payment or by Paypal to the customer’s bank account. In accordance with article L.221-24 of the Consumer Code, the additional costs paid by the customer for a specific method of delivery expressly chosen by the customer will not be refunded (e.g. express delivery).

Furthermore the right of withdrawal concerning a gift exclusively applies to the customer and cannot be exercised by the recipient of the gift in anyway.

The customer must always return the articles delivered in their original packaging, complete (boxes, accessories, protection, labels, booklets etc.) and accompanied by the return voucher. Articles which are returned incomplete, spoiled, damage, deteriorated, dirty or in any other condition which reasonably suggests that they have been used or worn will not be reimbursed or exchanged and will be returned to the customers. Your liability is only incurred for the depreciation of the good resulting from manipulations other than those necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning of the good .For example the soles of shoes must also be intact and it is therefore highly recommended to try out BERLUTI shoes on a carpet or a rug.

ARTICLE 9: NO EXCHANGES

Apart from the right of withdrawal provided for in article 8 above, the customer is informed that BERLUTI does not exchange articles.

ARTICLE 10: CONFORMITY - GUARANTEE - AFTER SALES SERVICE

-              iis exempt from proof of the lack of conformity of the good during the 12 months following the delivery of the good

The legal warranty of conformity applies irrespective of the commercial warranty granted.

The customer may decide to implement the warranty against the hidden defects of the sold good within the meaning of article 570 of the Civil Code, in iwhich case he or she may choose between the cancellation of the sale, or the reduction of the sale price.

Commercial warranty

Apart from the commercial warranty, BERLUTI remains bound by the legal warranty of conformity and that relating to defects of the good sold under the conditions laid down.

Article L.217-4 of the Consumer Code: ‘The seller delivers a good which conforms to the contract and is liable for the defects of conformity existing on delivery. The seller is also liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly and installation instructions when the seller is responsible for them under the contract or they were written under his liability..’

“In order to conform to the contract the good must:

1° be fit for the use normally expected of a similar good and if necessary:

  • match the description given by the seller and possess the qualities which the seller presented to the purchaser in the form of a sample or model;
  • possess the qualities which a purchaser can legitimately expect with respect to the public declarations made by the seller, by the producer or by its representative especially in advertising or labelling;

2° Or have characteristics which have been agreed by the parties or be fit for any specific use sought by the purchaser, which the seller has been informed of and agreed».

“The action for non-conformity is barred 1 year after the good is delivered.."

"Where the buyer asks the seller, during the course of the commercial warranty granted to him at the time of the acquisition or repair of tangible property, a refurbishment covered by the warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days shall be added to the warranty's still remaining term.

This period shall run from the buyer's request to intervene or the making available for repair of the good in question, if such availability is subsequent to the request for intervention.”

Article 570 of the Civil Code, first subparagraph::

“The purchaser must bring the action for hidden defects within 1 year of the discovery of the defect.”

Article 1: Order Procedure

As an exception to article 4 of the General Terms above:

•    Orders for personalised articles can only be placed via the www.berluti.com website and no orders can be placed by telephone to the Customer Service.

Article 2: Delivery

As an exception to article 7 of the General Terms above:

• the personalised articles will be delivered within twelve (12) weeks from the day after the order, at the latest, subject to the full payment of the price.

Article 3: Returning and exchanging personalised articles

Because of their clearly personalised and/or made on request nature, the articles referred to in these Special Conditions cannot be refunded or exchanged.
