CHRISTOFLE has not reviewed every website that may be linked to its Site and has no control over their accessibility, content, advertising, products, services, privacy and personal data protection policies, actions, information, or any other material available on or from such external websites or sources.

CHRISTOFLE may also select independent service providers to administer and/or operate certain functions and/or services relating to the Site, the proper performance of which may require the transfer of information submitted by you.

CHRISTOFLE requires its providers to keep confidential all information shared with them and to use transmitted data only to fulfill their obligations under their agreements with CHRISTOFLE. In all circumstances, CHRISTOFLE ensures that the retention period for the User’s personal data will not exceed five years.

CHRISTOFLE uses this information to analyze browsing activity on the Site, make the Site more useful, and measure the effectiveness of communications with Users.

For any questions relating to this Privacy Policy, the User is invited to send a letter to CHRISTOFLE, 41 Madison Avenue, Suite 600, New York, NY 10010, or use the Site contact form.
The fact that CHRISTOFLE has not required enforcement of any provision of the General Terms of Use and/or the Privacy Policy, whether permanently or temporarily, shall under no circumstances be considered a waiver of CHRISTOFLE’s rights arising from such provision or a waiver of the right to enforce any other provision.
In the event of failure to comply with any of the terms of these General Terms of Use and/or the Privacy Policy, CHRISTOFLE reserves the right to terminate access to and use of the Site without prior notice, without prejudice to any remedies against the User.

© Christofle, November 2021
Orfèvrerie Christofle, a simplified joint-stock company with share capital of €14,620,000, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number B 562 063 263, whose registered office is located at 191 avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-Sur-Seine, FRANCE, intra-Community VAT number FR 01 562 063 263 (hereinafter referred to as “Christofle”), creates, manufactures, and markets high-end silversmith products in the fields of tableware, home, gifts, jewelry, and personal accessories.
In addition to the Christofle Boutiques it operates and its distribution network, Christofle has chosen to offer its customers an online sales system for a selection of certain products through its e-commerce Site accessible from the French and English versions of www.christofle.com (hereinafter the “Site”).
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which specify in particular the procedures for ordering, payment, delivery, and possible return of Christofle products, apply to all sales of Christofle products concluded through the Site for delivery only in Metropolitan France, including Corsica and Monaco, Great Britain, and all countries of the European Union.
Accordingly, the customer declares that the customer has read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale before placing an order. For each order placed on the Site, the customer must confirm acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale by checking the box “I accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.” This validation when the order is placed therefore constitutes acceptance, without restriction or reservation, of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and a waiver of the right to rely on any other conditions not expressly agreed between Christofle and the customer.
In accordance with Articles 1369-1 and 1369-4 of the French Civil Code, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be retained by electronic storage and/or reproduced by the customer by printing them.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall apply for as long as they appear on the Site. Christofle may modify and update them at any time, provided that the applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be those in force on the date the customer places the order and formally accepts them.
In accordance with Articles 1369-1 and 1369-4 of the French Civil Code, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be retained by electronic storage and/or reproduced by the customer by printing them.
Online sales of Christofle products on the Site are exclusively reserved for end users, namely consumer customers within the meaning given by applicable law and case law, acting exclusively on their own behalf and domiciled in Metropolitan France, including Corsica and Monaco, Great Britain, and all countries of the European Union (hereinafter the “Territory”).
To purchase a product when placing a first order, the customer may choose whether or not to create a customer account. For subsequent orders, a customer who has an account may identify himself or herself using the email address (username) and password, the confidentiality of which the customer is responsible for preserving, by clicking the “Identification” icon.
The information required to open a customer account is as follows:
• email address, last name, first name, address, telephone number, country, language;
• password;
• delivery address and billing address.
Information provided by the customer in connection with each order, whether placed with or without creation of a customer account, must be complete, accurate, and up to date. Otherwise, Christofle will not be able to fulfill the orders.
The information collected will be processed in accordance with Christofle’s Privacy Policy available in the General Terms of Use section.
Customers must follow all steps displayed in order to validate their orders, including the step obtaining their consent by checking the box next to the statement “I confirm that I have read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the General Terms of Use – Privacy Policy,” and follow the online payment server instructions to pay the total price of the order, including all applicable taxes.
Customers are reminded that they may contact Christofle Customer Service at any time by clicking the “Customer Service” icon or by calling the telephone number shown on each webpage of the Site, particularly for any additional information or questions concerning products they wish to order.
Once payment for the order has been validated, the order is transmitted to Christofle for processing. It may no longer be modified and/or canceled except under the conditions expressly provided for in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale or as required by applicable law.
A summary of the order, in French for customers domiciled in Metropolitan France and in English for customers domiciled in Great Britain and other countries of the European Union, will be sent to the customer without delay by email to the address provided by the customer. For this purpose, the customer expressly accepts the use of email to receive Christofle’s summary of the order. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale will be accessible through a hyperlink in the order confirmation email.
This email includes, in particular, all information provided by the customer as well as the accepted price and payment terms, together with, where applicable, any difficulties or reservations raised by the order.
By retaining and/or printing this email, the customer has proof of the order, which Christofle recommends keeping. The customer must immediately report to Christofle Customer Service any errors and/or omissions contained in the summary. The customer may also access the history of the customer’s order(s) by clicking the “My Account” icon.
In addition, upon delivery, the customer will receive, for each product, written confirmation including the price paid and delivery charges borne by the customer.
The data recorded by the Site as summarized in the email constitute proof of all transactions between Christofle and its customers.
Pursuant to Article L134-2 of the French Consumer Code and its implementing decree, where an order is for an amount equal to or greater than $150, Christofle will retain the electronic document evidencing the contract for a period beginning on conclusion of the contract and continuing until the date of delivery of the goods, and for ten years thereafter. The customer may access the document upon simple request to Christofle Customer Service. In addition, regardless of the amount of the order, the customer may access invoices for order(s) by clicking the “My Account” icon.
Christofle reserves the right to refuse and/or cancel any order from a customer with whom a dispute exists concerning a previous order or for any other legitimate reason, including where the customer has breached these General Terms and Conditions of Sale or where the order is abnormal, particularly in view of the quantities ordered.
All orders placed on the Site are intended solely for customers’ personal use. Customers and recipients of products are prohibited from reselling all or part of the Christofle products ordered.
The prices of Christofle products presented on the Site are stated in euros, including all taxes, excluding engraving charges where applicable and excluding delivery charges. Any change in the rate of value-added tax will be reflected immediately in the euro sale price of Christofle products offered for sale on the Site, it being specified that products are sold at the rates in force as displayed on the Site on the date of the order.
The euro price including taxes of each product the customer wishes to purchase, as well as the amount of transport costs relating to delivery, will be communicated to the customer when placing the order on the Site in “My Cart” before validation of the order and in the order-summary email sent by Christofle. In addition, upon delivery, the customer will receive written confirmation for each Christofle product delivered of the price paid in euros, detailing the product price including taxes and the related delivery charges.
Product and price offers are valid for as long as they are visible on the Site and while stocks last.
Information regarding product availability is provided to the customer when the order is placed. Errors or changes may exceptionally occur, particularly where several customers simultaneously order the same product. If a product becomes unavailable after the order has been placed, Christofle will inform the customer by email as soon as possible and offer either a replacement product presented on the Site or cancellation of the order. If the customer chooses to cancel, a refund will be made no later than 30 days after payment if the customer’s bank account has been debited.
Christofle reserves the right to change at any time and without prior notice the products and prices offered on the Site, it being specified that the products offered for sale and their corresponding prices will be those in force when the order is placed, as accepted by the customer when validating the order.
The customer is duly informed that telecommunications charges associated with Internet access and use of the Site remain the customer’s responsibility.
Any order placed on the Site must be paid for by the customer immediately after validation of the order by debit from the customer’s bank account by clicking the “Pay” icon.
Orders are payable exclusively in Canadian dollars by PayPal or bank card. The following credit cards are accepted: Visa®, Eurocard®/Mastercard®, and American Express®, issued on bank accounts domiciled in Metropolitan France, including Corsica and Monaco, Japan, Great Britain, and other countries of the European Union.
The bank card will be debited in Canadian dollars when the customer places the order and completes the payment transaction in the secure payment environment integrated into the Site by a payment operator. The customer therefore authorizes the customer’s bank in advance to debit the account on presentation of records or statements transmitted through the payment module, even in the absence of invoices signed by the cardholder. Christofle products ordered remain the property of Christofle until Christofle has received full payment of the price.
For this purpose, the customer guarantees to Christofle that the customer is the cardholder and that the name appearing on the card to be debited is the customer’s own. In a secure Internet environment, the customer provides the sixteen-digit card number and expiration date and, where applicable, the security code appearing on the back of the card.
If the total price of the order, including taxes, cannot be debited, the customer will be invited to repeat the payment process. If the inability to debit the total amount is confirmed, the online sale will automatically be terminated and the order canceled.
For Internet payments and in order to combat Internet fraud, an online check will be carried out with the relevant banking institutions and organizations through the payment operator’s system. To ensure the security of transactions and consumers, Christofle, through its payment operator, reserves the right to block any order that appears fraudulent or does not provide all necessary online-payment security guarantees. Christofle does not collect or retain the customer’s bank-card details.
Any claim by a customer under French data-protection legislation will be transmitted directly by CHRISTOFLE to the payment operator.
Products purchased on the Site may be delivered only to the address indicated by the customer on the order form in Metropolitan France, including Corsica and Monaco, Great Britain, and all countries of the European Union. Any delivery address outside these territories or corresponding to a post-office box will be refused during the online ordering process.
Christofle products purchased online will be delivered to the customer’s address no later than three (3) business days from the day following the order for Metropolitan France, including Corsica, Great Britain, and countries of the European Union, subject to full payment of the principal price and ancillary charges.
If the order is not delivered by the stated delivery deadline, the customer may, after a period of seven (7) days, request cancellation of the sale and reimbursement of all sums paid.
Several shipping methods, together with their respective rates and delivery times, will be offered to customers:
• delivery by Chronopost for Metropolitan France, including Corsica and Monaco;
• delivery by DHL for Great Britain and other countries of the European Union.
Delivery Charges
Shipping rates payable by the customer will be detailed during the ordering process before final validation of the order. Shipping is free for orders exceeding €350 including taxes, after any applicable discounts.
Delivery Delay
Delivery deadlines are deemed to have been met by Christofle where the first attempted delivery of the order to the address indicated by the customer occurs within the delivery period communicated to the customer.
In the event of a delivery delay, the order is not automatically canceled.
If delivery is delayed beyond the period corresponding to the delivery method selected by the customer, Christofle will inform the customer by email that delivery will be delayed. The customer may then decide to cancel the order through Christofle’s contact form.
If the order has not yet been shipped when Christofle receives the customer’s cancellation notice, delivery will be stopped and any amounts already debited will be refunded without delay and no later than 30 days after payment.
If the order has already been shipped when Christofle receives the customer’s cancellation notice, the customer may still cancel the order by refusing the package when presented by the carrier or by promptly returning it by CHRONOPOST to Christofle in its original, unopened packaging. Christofle will then refund the amounts debited and the return shipping costs paid by the customer, upon submission of supporting documentation to Customer Service, within 30 days after receipt of the refused package, complete and in its original condition.
After dispatching the Christofle products ordered by the customer, Christofle will send the customer a shipping confirmation email, in French for customers domiciled in Metropolitan France and in English for customers domiciled in Great Britain and other countries of the European Union, together with an order tracking number.
Checking the Order Upon Arrival
The customer must check the condition of the packaging and the products upon delivery.
The customer is responsible for making any reservations and claims considered necessary, or even refusing the package, particularly where the package is visibly damaged upon delivery and before it is opened (for example, where the customer hears the sound of breakage inside). Detailed reservations and claims must be stated to the delivery person and, in parallel, sent to the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within three business days, excluding public holidays, following delivery of the products. In all cases, the reasons must be stated precisely. A reservation such as “subject to opening the package” has no value, whereas a reservation such as “package badly damaged, crushed at the upper left, taped” is considered valid.
The customer must also send a copy of this letter to Christofle. Failure to make a claim within the above period extinguishes any action against the carrier in accordance with Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code.
If the package is in good condition but the product is found to be damaged upon opening, the customer must return it to Christofle under the conditions below for inspection, stating the reason for the claim on the return form.
For any claim, please call Christofle Customer Service at the non-premium number +1 (360) 777-5260, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or use the Site contact form.
The customer must ensure that the products delivered correspond to the order. In the event that the products do not conform in nature or quality to the specifications stated on the order form, the customer must return the products, complete and in their original packaging, to:
Christofle
41 Madison Avenue
Suite 600
New York, NY 10010
within seven (7) calendar days following the date on which the customer received the order. The customer is responsible for retaining proof of the return, which means that the products must be returned using the carrier selected for delivery or by any other means providing a certain date, with return costs and risks remaining the customer’s responsibility.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
Principle and Conditions of the Right of Withdrawal
The customer has a withdrawal period of fourteen (14) calendar days, without having to provide any reason for exercising this right, from the day the order is received or from receipt of the last product forming part of the order.
The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day on which the customer, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the customer, takes physical possession of the goods.
To exercise this right of withdrawal, the customer must notify Christofle of the decision to withdraw from the online sale made on the Site by means of an unambiguous statement sent to:

To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for the customer to send the withdrawal request before the fourteen-day period expires.

Christofle
41 Madison Avenue
Suite 600
New York, NY 10010
The customer is responsible for retaining proof of the return, which means that products must be returned by CHRONOPOST or by any other means providing a certain date, with return costs and risks remaining the customer’s responsibility.
Subject to compliance with the deadline and procedures described above, Christofle will refund all sums paid by the customer, including the initial delivery charges billed by Christofle to the customer, to the customer’s bank account corresponding to the bank card used on the date of the order, within fourteen (14) days from the day Christofle is informed of the customer’s decision to withdraw.
Exception to the Right of Withdrawal
Christofle products returned incomplete, modified, spoiled, damaged, and/or soiled as a result of the customer will not be refunded. In addition, a Christofle product that has been personalized at the customer’s request may not be returned under the right of withdrawal. Pursuant to Article L121-20-2 3° of the French Consumer Code, the customer does not have a right of withdrawal for “goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized […].”
When the “Gift Service” is used, the right of withdrawal belongs exclusively to the customer who placed the order, expressly excluding the recipient of the gift.
If the conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal described above have not been complied with even though the product has been returned by the customer to Christofle, the customer may receive the returned Christofle products again, at the customer’s expense, in the condition in which they were returned to Christofle.
For any request for information, order tracking, exercise of rights, or possible claims, the customer may use the Site contact form or contact Christofle Customer Service at CHRISTOFLE, 41 Madison Avenue, Suite 600, New York, NY 10010, at the non-premium number +1 (360) 777-5260, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Christofle takes the greatest care and strives for the greatest accuracy in the presentation and description of products offered on the Site, including photographs, graphics, and engraving previews, within the limits of the technology and computer equipment used and in accordance with the best market standards. Nevertheless, such presentations and descriptions are provided for information only and do not form part of the contractual relationship between Christofle and the customer.
However, in the event of an obvious lack of conformity between the delivered product and its description on the Site (size, shape, or color completely different from what was advertised on the Site), Christofle undertakes to correct the error. The consumer may either exercise the right of withdrawal described above or invoke Christofle’s conformity warranty in accordance with the legal provisions reproduced below.

The seller is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

Article L211-5 of the French Consumer Code
To conform to the contract, the goods must:
1° Be suitable for the use ordinarily expected of similar goods and, where applicable:

2° Or possess the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, made known to the seller, and accepted by the seller.

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code

An action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years from discovery of the defect.

Such events include, without limitation, war, riots, insurrection, social unrest, total or partial strikes, including transport strikes of any kind, interruption of production, interruption of energy and/or electricity supply, and Christofle supply problems.
Christofle will inform the customer of such an unforeseen event or force majeure event within fourteen days of its occurrence. If the suspension continues for more than fifteen days, the customer may cancel the current order, and a refund will be made under the conditions described above.

VALIDITY OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
