2.4 Manufacture of Products We endeavour to ensure that Our online catalog is as accurate and representative as possible. However, there may be variations in size or color due to differences in the configuration of computer equipment. Our aim is to provide detailed information to help You familiarize Yourself with the product prior to purchase. Please note that the weight of the stones displayed may vary slightly, and given Our handcrafted manufacturing process, some product dimensions may differ slightly from those shown online.
3. PRICE & PAYMENT
3.1 Product Prices
3.1.1 The price of the products in Your shopping cart will always correspond to the last price displayed on the product description page. This price may vary from that displayed when the product was first added to the basket. Adding a product to the basket does not guarantee that its price will remain the same as when it was added. It is also possible that the price of the product at the time of payment is lower than the last price displayed on the product description page.
3.1.2 LustrLabs reserves the right to change its prices at any time, in accordance with article 1 hereof. However, orders already placed will be honored at the price in effect when the order is placed.
3.1.3 Our prices are fixed and non-negotiable.
3.1.4 Errors in information, particularly prices displayed on the Site, may occur as a result of systemic or typographical errors. Although We strive to avoid such errors, they may occur. Orders based on incorrect information or prices will not be honored. If the price indicated is lower than the actual price, We will contact You to cancel the order or advise You how to pay the difference. We apologize for any inconvenience and remain available for any questions.
3.2 Order Payment
You may pay for Your orders :
- By credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Carte Bleue): the amount of Your order will be debited within 7 (seven) days. The order registration date is the date of online payment; or
3.3 Invoice
An Invoice is generated and made available to You in Your online customer area as soon as Your order has been dispatched. You may also request an Invoice from Our Customer Service by email.
- RETURNS AND RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
4.1 Returns and Refunds
In accordance with Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, LustrLabs strives to ensure that each piece of jewelry is produced and delivered in accordance with Your expectations. However, due to the unique and personalized nature of our products, we cannot accept returns or offer refunds except in the case of a proven product defect.
In the event of receipt of a defective product, We invite You to contact Us immediately at contact@lustrlabs.com with a detailed description of the defect as well as photographs if applicable. Our team will assess the defect and, if it is confirmed, we will exchange the product. LustrLabs reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine whether a product is defective and whether an exchange is appropriate.
4.2 Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with Article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for contracts for the supply of goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized.
All LustrLabs jewelry is made to order and personalized according to your choices and specifications (for example, choice of metal, type of stone, size, etc.). Consequently, these products fall within the scope of exception n°3 of article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code and are therefore not eligible for the right of withdrawal.
By placing an order on www.lustrlabs.com, You expressly acknowledge and accept that the products ordered are manufactured to Your personal specifications, and that You therefore waive Your right of withdrawal once production of Your order has begun.
4.3 Exceptions
This non-return and non-refund policy does not affect Your legal rights in the event of defective or non-conforming products. In such cases, as indicated in section 4.1, LustrLabs undertakes to provide a replacement product that meets Your expectations.
- WARRANTIES
5.1 Product Warranties
You benefit from the legislation in force concerning defects in conformity of the product with the Contract and redhibitory defects under the conditions provided for in articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code:
