- Article L.217-4: “The good conforms to the contract if it meets, in particular, where applicable, the following criteria: 1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular as regards functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristic provided for in the contract; 2° It is fit for any special purpose intended by the consumer, brought to the seller's attention no later than at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and which the latter has accepted; 3° It is delivered with all the accessories and installation instructions, which are to be provided in accordance with the contract; 4° It is updated in accordance with the contract.”

7.2.2. Warranty against hidden defects
The French Civil Code stipulates the following in relation to the warranty against hidden defects:

It is in this context that the Seller as identified above (hereinafter, "the Seller"), known for marketing contemporary or luxury products worldwide, directly markets its offer on the 24S Marketplace.
In this respect, 24 Sèvres hosts this Marketplace activity by providing a marketing space to professional and independent sellers. Thus, 24 Sèvres is not a seller of the offers made by the sellers on the Marketplace.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to orders placed with the Marketplace Seller as identified above. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale define the contractual conditions applicable to the sales made by this Seller.
Any order placed on the Marketplace necessarily implies the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of the Seller or Sellers concerned.
Article 1. Offers
Offers are submitted in the name and on behalf of the Seller. The visuals are reproduced under the control of the Sellers and with their permission.
Please note that purchases made on the Website are reserved for non-professional private individuals for their own use (or for purchasing gifts for members of their families), which is why the Seller only sells its products in quantities that correspond to average household use. In accordance with article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code, the Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel for legitimate reasons any Order for which the number of products or the amount to be paid (for one or more cumulative orders) does not correspond to average household use. Any Order that might suggest that the Buyer is carrying out an economic activity in connection with the ordered products or more generally, any abnormal Order within the meaning of the applicable case-law on the subject may be canceled by the Seller.
The selling prices of the Seller's products on 24S are indicated in several payment currencies. The indicated prices are the prices in effect at the time when the Buyer places the Order and may be modified by the Seller at any time.
These prices do not include shipping costs, which are charged in addition to the price of the purchased products. Shipping costs will be displayed before the Buyer places the Order. The various shipping methods will be proposed to the Buyer at the time of placing the order.
For orders outside the European Union, depending on the destination country, the Buyer may be required to pay customs duties and import taxes. The precise terms and conditions of customs duties and taxes are available in the "Delivery and Returns " area of the website.
The prices are applicable and the offers are valid for as long as they are visible on the www.24s.com website.
However, errors regarding prices or availability may occur due to desynchronization of the flow update and human errors.
In the event of a price error or the unavailability of an ordered product, the Buyer will be notified as soon as Customer Service becomes aware of this situation. In this event, orders for products which are unavailable or affected by a price error will be cancelled and 24S will refund the amounts paid for the products on behalf of the Seller.
Article 2 - Characteristics of the offers
2.1 General provisions
In accordance with Article L. 111-1 of the French Consumer Code, prior to placing an Order, the Buyer may take note of the essential characteristics of the product(s) he/she wishes to order.

In the event of total cancelation of the Order by the Seller:
- The Buyer's Order will be automatically canceled and the Buyer's bank account will not be debited.
- 24S Customer Service will contact the Buyer to inform the Buyer of the cancelation of the Order.
Article 3 – Orders
All Orders imply the acceptance of the theses General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the " Privacy and Cookies" Policy, without prejudice to the specific contractual conditions concluded between the Parties.
Before validating an Order, the Buyer can check the details of the Order and correct any errors.
The distance selling contract is concluded at the moment the Buyer confirms the order by clicking on the "PAY" button (hereinafter and above, "the Order").

Once this step has been validated, the Buyer will no longer be able to cancel the Order. The sale will be final (subject to the Buyer exercising his/her right of withdrawal under the conditions provided for in Article 6 of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale). The Buyer will receive a confirmation of Order by email. The Buyer will be informed of the shipping date of the order in another email. Emails will be sent to the email address specified by the Buyer when placing the order. Also, in the event of an error in entering the Buyer’s email address, or if the Order confirmation message is not received, the Seller or 24S cannot be held liable.
24 Sèvres shall then be entitled to collect the entire price of the Order in the name and on behalf of the Seller for all orders as soon as the Order is confirmed;
Finally, 24 Sèvres, in the name and on behalf of the Seller, reserves the right to suspend or cancel any Order and/or delivery, regardless of its nature and level of performance, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any amount due by the Buyer, in the event of a payment irregularity, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud, including in connection with previous Orders.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.
Article 6 – Rights and withdrawal periods

The Order will then be shipped and the Buyer undertakes, in accordance with Article L.221-23 of the French Consumer Code, to return the products in question within a maximum period of 14 (fourteen) days from the date of the notice sent by the Buyer to 24S.
The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).
6.2. Products excluded from the right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal may not be exercised for Orders relating to:
- goods that have been unsealed after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection (for example, care products, make-up, etc.),
- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.

All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
Article 8 – Retention of title
The Seller shall retain full and complete ownership of the products sold until full payment of the total price, including principal, fees, taxes and mandatory contributions.
Article 9 – Signature and proof
24 Sèvres endeavors to protect its customers' personal information by ensuring a high level of security, but the Buyer also has a role to play in protecting his/her personal data. In particular, the Buyer must maintain the security of online transactions by, for example, not disclosing to anyone his/her identifier (the Buyer's email address) and/or password and by regularly changing this password. 24 Sèvres cannot be held liable for the disclosure of information concerning the Buyer to any individual who has used the Buyer's identifier (the Buyer's email address) and/or password. In this respect, the use of the Buyer's identifier (the Buyer's email address) and/or password shall constitute proof of the Buyer's identity, and of the payability, upon validation of the Order, of the corresponding sums. 24 Sèvres cannot under any circumstances be held liable for the fraudulent use of this information. The provision of the credit card number and the final validation of the Order shall be deemed proof of acceptance of the Order and of the sums incurred by the purchase of the products appearing on the Order, which shall be deemed payable. The computerized records kept in the computer systems of 24 Sèvres and its partners shall be considered to be proof of the communications, Orders and payments made between the Parties.
Article 10 – Customer Service

11.1 Capacity
Before placing the Order, the Buyer declares to have full legal capacity, allowing him/her to commit to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

11.2 Limitation of liability
The Seller shall not be held liable for the obligations of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale if the non-performance of its obligations is attributable to the act of a third party, even if it is foreseeable, is the fault of the Buyer, or is attributable to the occurrence of a force majeure event as defined by the French courts, or is attributable to any other event which was not reasonably under the Seller's exclusive control.

The SELLER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR DIRECT AND INDIRECT DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, CAUSED BY THE USE OF THE WEBSITE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE SELLER'S LIABILITY WERE TO BE ESTABLISHED AND RETAINED AS A RESULT OF ANY HARM SUFFERED BY THE BUYER AND ATTRIBUTABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO THE PLACING OF AN ORDER, THE BUYER IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF THE ORDER PAID BY THE BUYER TO THE SELLER.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:

7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).
6.2. Products excluded from the right of withdrawal

- goods that have been unsealed after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection (for example, care products, make-up, etc.),
- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.

The Buyer and the recipient of the Order, if different from the Buyer, are informed that the use of the Return Label enables the processing of the return.

The Buyer may be held liable in the event of depreciation of the product resulting from handling other than the handling necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and, where applicable, the proper functioning of the products. In this case, the Seller may take a discount between the price of the product and the amount refunded.
Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s).

- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage.

- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.

- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.

As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials.

Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.

Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.

Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s).

It is in this context that the Seller as identified above (hereinafter, "the Seller"), known for marketing contemporary or luxury products worldwide, directly markets its offer on the 24S Marketplace.
In this respect, 24 Sèvres hosts this Marketplace activity by providing a marketing space to professional and independent sellers. Thus, 24 Sèvres is not a seller of the offers made by the sellers on the Marketplace.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to orders placed with the Marketplace Seller as identified above. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale define the contractual conditions applicable to the sales made by this Seller.
Any order placed on the Marketplace necessarily implies the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of the Seller or Sellers concerned.
Article 1. Offers
Offers are submitted in the name and on behalf of the Seller. The visuals are reproduced under the control of the Sellers and with their permission.
Please note that purchases made on the Website are reserved for non-professional private individuals for their own use (or for purchasing gifts for members of their families), which is why the Seller only sells its products in quantities that correspond to average household use. In accordance with article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code, the Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel for legitimate reasons any Order for which the number of products or the amount to be paid (for one or more cumulative orders) does not correspond to average household use. Any Order that might suggest that the Buyer is carrying out an economic activity in connection with the ordered products or more generally, any abnormal Order within the meaning of the applicable case-law on the subject may be canceled by the Seller.
The selling prices of the Seller's products on 24S are indicated in several payment currencies. The indicated prices are the prices in effect at the time when the Buyer places the Order and may be modified by the Seller at any time.
These prices do not include shipping costs, which are charged in addition to the price of the purchased products. Shipping costs will be displayed before the Buyer places the Order. The various shipping methods will be proposed to the Buyer at the time of placing the order.
For orders outside the European Union, depending on the destination country, the Buyer may be required to pay customs duties and import taxes. The precise terms and conditions of customs duties and taxes are available in the "Delivery and Returns " area of the website.
The prices are applicable and the offers are valid for as long as they are visible on the www.24s.com website.
However, errors regarding prices or availability may occur due to desynchronization of the flow update and human errors.
In the event of a price error or the unavailability of an ordered product, the Buyer will be notified as soon as Customer Service becomes aware of this situation. In this event, orders for products which are unavailable or affected by a price error will be cancelled and 24S will refund the amounts paid for the products on behalf of the Seller.

Before validating an Order, the Buyer can check the details of the Order and correct any errors.

5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service.

5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:

- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."

7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:

- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.

5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."

7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:

Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties

7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

After performing this check, and in the name and on behalf of the Seller, 24 Sèvres reserves the right to request a photocopy of the Buyer's identity card and/or any information relating to the Buyer's identity.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.

The Buyer and the recipient of the Order, if different from the Buyer, are informed that the use of the Return Label enables the processing of the return.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials.

5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.

Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.

Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s).

- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage.

- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.

Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.

5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:

- have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;

7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:

- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized

7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:

7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

- goods that have been unsealed after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection (for example, care products, make-up, etc.),
- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.

Products returned after this time will not be accepted. Products must be sent with the Return Label provided by 24S. The Buyer and the recipient of the Order, if different from the Buyer, are informed that the use of the Return Label enables the processing of the return.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s).

- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage.

- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.

Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.

- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.

It is in this context that the Seller as identified above (hereinafter, "the Seller"), known for marketing contemporary or luxury products worldwide, directly markets its offer on the 24S Marketplace.
In this respect, 24 Sèvres hosts this Marketplace activity by providing a marketing space to professional and independent sellers. Thus, 24 Sèvres is not a seller of the offers made by the sellers on the Marketplace.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to orders placed with the Marketplace Seller as identified above. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale define the contractual conditions applicable to the sales made by this Seller.
Any order placed on the Marketplace necessarily implies the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of the Seller or Sellers concerned.

Offers are submitted in the name and on behalf of the Seller. The visuals are reproduced under the control of the Sellers and with their permission.
Please note that purchases made on the Website are reserved for non-professional private individuals for their own use (or for purchasing gifts for members of their families), which is why the Seller only sells its products in quantities that correspond to average household use. In accordance with article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code, the Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel for legitimate reasons any Order for which the number of products or the amount to be paid (for one or more cumulative orders) does not correspond to average household use. Any Order that might suggest that the Buyer is carrying out an economic activity in connection with the ordered products or more generally, any abnormal Order within the meaning of the applicable case-law on the subject may be canceled by the Seller.
The selling prices of the Seller's products on 24S are indicated in several payment currencies. The indicated prices are the prices in effect at the time when the Buyer places the Order and may be modified by the Seller at any time.
These prices do not include shipping costs, which are charged in addition to the price of the purchased products. Shipping costs will be displayed before the Buyer places the Order. The various shipping methods will be proposed to the Buyer at the time of placing the order.
For orders outside the European Union, depending on the destination country, the Buyer may be required to pay customs duties and import taxes. The precise terms and conditions of customs duties and taxes are available in the "Delivery and Returns " area of the website.
The prices are applicable and the offers are valid for as long as they are visible on the www.24s.com website.

Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt

Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s).

- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage.

- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."

5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.

7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.

The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).

- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.

Article 7 – Warranties

All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.

Article 5 – Delivery and Receipt
5.1 General regulations
Products ordered by the Buyer in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions will be delivered to the address the Buyer has indicated as the delivery address when placing the Order ("Delivery Address").
Certain beauty products (aerosols, perfumes, nail polish, etc.) are considered hazardous materials for transport. As such, we take all necessary precautions and apply the (IATA and ADR) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials. It may therefore occur that certain delivery methods and destinations are not offered to the Buyer as part of the Buyer's Order, and that the return of these products is not authorized from certain countries.
Some protected materials (leather and furs) will be accompanied by their CITES certificate for shipments to non-European countries.
5.2 Characteristics of the Seller's delivery methods on the 24S.com Website
The delivery methods available for the Order will be displayed to the Buyer before the validation of the Order.
5.3 Delivery times
The delivery times for Orders to metropolitan France will be displayed when the Order is placed. In particular, these delivery times take into account the time at which the Order was received and the working days of the destination country. However, for Orders delivered outside the European Union, the Seller cannot be held responsible for extended time limits due to customs inspection (which may vary according to the destination and the current laws of the country of destination).
Delivery times start to run as soon as the Seller ships the Order.
During the end-of-year holiday period (from November 23 to December 31), delivery may take longer due to the high level of activity of the shipping companies.
5.4 Defects, damaged products, damaged packages upon receipt
5.4.1 General provisions
The Buyer, or the recipient of the Order, is requested to check the apparent condition of the package and products upon delivery.
In the event of a defect in the packaging (damaged package, open package, traces of liquid, etc.) or to the product(s) ordered (missing product(s), damaged product(s)), the Buyer or the recipient of the Order must strictly follow the procedure described below or may refuse receipt (in this case, the delivery person will take the package away). Failure to comply with the appropriate procedure shall exclude any recourse against the carrier, the Seller or 24S. In particular, the Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order shall also not be entitled to have the Seller reship the ordered products. 24S Customer Service will then contact the Buyer as soon as possible to discuss the Buyer's refusal of the product(s). If a defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will be refunded the amount of the products in the package and the shipping costs.
The Buyer or the recipient of the Order may also call 24S Customer Service to find out how to return the damaged product(s). The Buyer must then follow the procedure for the return of damaged products indicated by 24S Customer Service. If the Buyer does not do this, the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund or exchange of the products in question.
5.4.2 The following procedure must be followed when the package is damaged:
If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.
Article 6 – Rights and withdrawal periods
6.1. Right, period and terms and conditions of withdrawal
In order to ensure the satisfaction of its Buyers and recipients of its Orders, the Seller accepts the return of products ordered on the Marketplace 24S within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Order.
The Buyer or, where applicable, the recipient of the Order, must inform 24S of his/her intention to withdraw in one of the following ways:
- Contact 24S Customer Service within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of the Order.

In this situation, the Buyer is informed that it is not technically possible for the Seller to prevent the shipment of products once the Order has been validated. The Order will then be shipped and the Buyer undertakes, in accordance with Article L.221-23 of the French Consumer Code, to return the products in question within a maximum period of 14 (fourteen) days from the date of the notice sent by the Buyer to 24S.
The Buyer will be refunded for the amount of the order and the delivery costs actually paid at the time of delivery (except in the event of a partial return of the Order, in which case, the delivery costs shall remain the responsibility of the Buyer).
6.2. Products excluded from the right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal may not be exercised for Orders relating to:
- goods that have been unsealed after delivery and cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection (for example, care products, make-up, etc.),
- goods manufactured to consumer specifications or clearly personalized
- products considered dangerous* (IATA, ADR), such as certain cosmetic products (these products may not be returned for safety reasons subject to strict packaging and certification by the appropriate agency). 24S Customer Service will then be able to specify the information to the Buyer in case of a request from the Buyer.
6.3. Costs
The Seller, via 24S Customer Service, will bear the return costs for the Products by sending the Buyer a Return Label.
6.4. Consequences of exercising the right of withdrawal

Products returned after this time will not be accepted. Products must be sent with the Return Label provided by 24S. The Buyer and the recipient of the Order, if different from the Buyer, are informed that the use of the Return Label enables the processing of the return. The Buyer or the recipient of the Order, if different from the Buyer, is therefore requested to use this Return Label.

The Buyer may be held liable in the event of depreciation of the product resulting from handling other than the handling necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and, where applicable, the proper functioning of the products. In this case, the Seller may take a discount between the price of the product and the amount refunded.
Article 7 – Warranties
7.1. Legal warranties
All products sold on the Website benefit from the legal warranty of conformity (as defined in Articles L217-4 and et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and the warranty against hidden defects (as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code), which allows the Buyer to return defective or non-conforming products free of charge.
7.1.1 Legal warranty of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal warranty of conformity: Article L217-4 of this code states: "The seller is required to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The seller shall also be liable for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation where the latter has been charged to him by the contract or has been carried out under the seller's responsibility."
Article L211-5 of this code states: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1) be suitable for the use usually expected of a similar good and, if 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 can legitimately expect in view of public statements made by the seller, the producer or its representative, in particular when these statements are made in advertising or labeling;
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 that the seller has accepted."
Article L211-12 states: "Claims resulting from the lack of conformity shall be time-barred after two years of the delivery of the goods."
7.1.2 Warranty against hidden defects
Article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty regarding hidden defects in the item sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have only paid a lower price for it, if he had been aware of these defects."
Article 1648 of the French Civil Code states: "The claim resulting from fundamental defects must be submitted by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect." In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, "the claim must be submitted, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be discharged with regard to any apparent defects or lack of conformity."
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect, the Seller undertakes at the Buyer's choice:
- Either to refund the full price of the returned product,
- Or to refund a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
7.1.3 Exclusion of warranties
Products which have been modified, repaired or integrated by the Buyer are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not apply to apparent defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or damaged due to misuse.
7.2 Methods of exercising the legal warranties
When exercising the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer:
- has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act;
- can choose between repairing or replacing the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- is exempt from having to provide proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the two years.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be offered on the goods.
The Buyer may decide to exercise the warranty against hidden defects for the item sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Buyer may choose to cancel the sale or to reduce the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
For any request concerning legal warranties, the Buyer must then contact 24S Customer Service via the "Contact Us" section on the 24S Website.
These provisions are not exclusive of the right of withdrawal defined in Article 6 above.
7.3 Consequence of the exercise of the warranties
As part of the legal warranty of conformity, at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either replace the product with an identical product according to the available stocks,
- or to refund the price of the product if it is not possible to replace the product.
As part of the legal warranty for hidden defects, after evaluation of the defect and at the Buyer's discretion, the Seller undertakes to:
- either refund the full price of the returned product,
- or to refund to the Buyer a part of the price of the product if the Buyer decides to keep the product.
Article 8 – Retention of title
The Seller shall retain full and complete ownership of the products sold until full payment of the total price, including principal, fees, taxes and mandatory contributions.
Article 9 – Signature and proof
24 Sèvres endeavors to protect its customers' personal information by ensuring a high level of security, but the Buyer also has a role to play in protecting his/her personal data.

In this respect, the use of the Buyer's identifier (the Buyer's email address) and/or password shall constitute proof of the Buyer's identity, and of the payability, upon validation of the Order, of the corresponding sums. 24 Sèvres cannot under any circumstances be held liable for the fraudulent use of this information. The provision of the credit card number and the final validation of the Order shall be deemed proof of acceptance of the Order and of the sums incurred by the purchase of the products appearing on the Order, which shall be deemed payable.

If the package has arrived in damaged condition, the Buyer may declare the defect to the carrier and refuse receipt. If the defect related to transport is confirmed by 24S Customer Service, the order will be canceled and the Buyer will receive a refund.
If the Buyer accepts the package, the Buyer must:
- Open the package in the presence of the delivery person, and
- enter detailed handwritten reservations on the Delivery Note. The reservations made by the consignee at the time of delivery shall constitute evidence of the existence and the extent of the damage. The Buyer must provide an accurate and complete explanation of his/her reservations (the simple statement "subject to unpacking" is considered too general and imprecise), and
- send the carrier, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a well-grounded letter of objection within three (3) days of receipt in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code)
- and inform 24 Sèvres by email or registered mail within three (3) business days of the delivery of the Order.
