PRODUCTS
We would like to inform the Customer that product images may be slightly different from the actual item due to the Customer’s monitor display or the lighting used during the photo shoot. In addition, as it concerns hand-crafted creations, the articles may present finishing irregularities, differences in size and/or colour of the stones inherent to this type of manufacture which cannot be considered to be major defects. The liability of the Company cannot be called into question nor can the validity of the order be affected. The photographs, artwork, and descriptions of the products for sale are indicative only and shall in no way be binding upon the Company. For more information, customers may call our customer service department.
ORDERS
The Customer declares having read and accepted these Terms and Conditions before placing the order. Validating the order implies express acceptance by the customer of the Terms and Conditions. After having verified the content of the order, the Customer will then definitively confirm the order at the payment stage. This confirmation is tantamount to entering into a contract. Once the contract has been entered into, the Company will send a summary of the information on the order form by email to the Customer. The invoice will also be provided in an attachment to the email sent to the Customer. Delivery will take place within a maximum of 30 days. The terms and conditions for entering into a contract on the pascalemonvoisin.com site have been drawn up in French and English. To the extent that if there is any inconsistency between the French language version and the English language version, the French version will prevail.
PAYMENT
It should be noted that validating an order obliges the Customer to pay the indicated price. The Customer may only pay for purchases using a bank card. Accepted bank cards include: CB, MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®. At the time of payment, the bank will request personal information from the Internet user to verify the identity of the card holder and to validate the transaction. The Customer will need to provide the number of the bank card, and depending on the type of card, the expiration date as well as the Card Security Code (the three-digit code on the back of the card). Upon validating the order form, the Customer ensures the Company that he or she is in good standing with the issuer of the bank card. The card will be debited immediately.
