Bernardaud official website | Limoges porcelain since 1863

BERNARDAUD has set up an online store that offers some of its products for sale.

The BERNARDAUD online store is exclusively intended for placing orders for the personal use of customers.

The term “order” refers to a commitment to buy all products selected by the customer via the online store’s e-commerce service.

The term “customer” refers to the non-trading individuals buying products for their personal needs or to the legal entities buying products for purposes not related to their professional activity.

All of the products available on the online store are for sale, subject to availability.

For any questions regarding an order, customers are welcome to contact BERNARDAUD Customer Service by clicking on the link “Contact us” or by calling + 33(0)5 55 10 21 86 from 9:30a.m. to noon and from 2:00p.m. to 6:30p.m Paris Time.

These General Conditions of Sale (hereafter the “GCS”) apply to all orders made for delivery to the following countries: Metropolitan France – Germany – Belgium – Spain – Great Britain – Italy – Switzerland – Portugal – The Netherlands – Luxembourg.

These GCS exclusively govern the offer and the acceptance of the purchase orders of products, as well as the payment, delivery and potential returns of the products ordered by the customers on the online store.

The customer expressly and irrevocably accepts the terms of these GCS when it finalizes its order.

The customer accepts that proof of acceptance of these GCS is constituted by checking the box that says “I have read and I accept the General Conditions of Sale.”

The GCS applicable to the customer are those that the customer accepted at the moment of placing the order.

The customer has the option to print, download, and keep a paper and electronic copy of these GCS.

Each product comes with a description and one or several visual(s) which the customer may access by clicking directly on the product.

BERNARDAUD does everything it can so that the descriptions and visuals represent as faithfully as possible the products for sale. However, BERNARDAUD cannot assure a perfect similarity of the descriptions and visuals with the product sold, particularly with regard to colors.

The visuals and descriptions of the products may not under any circumstances incur the liability of BERNARDAUD, nor give right to any claim from the customer.

The prices and the offers indicated on the online store are valid as long as they are displayed on the site. Sales prices are expressed in the currency of the country in which the order is placed. Sale prices include all taxes and exclude shipping costs.

Potential shipping costs (article 4.5) are borne by the customer and are invoiced in addition to the sale price of the products.

Prior to finalizing an order, the customer has access to the total amount of its order, which includes the related taxes and potential shipping costs.

Any change of the value-added tax (V.A.T.) rate will be immediately reflected in the price of products sold.

BERNARDAUD strives to display the exact prices of products, but it may happen, in exceptional cases, that products show an erroneous price.

When this happens, BERNARDAUD will contact the customer and, according to the instructions of the latter, will allow the customer to confirm the order for the effective price or to cancel it.

However, if all or part of the products are unavailable and/or discontinued, BERNARDAUD will inform the customer as soon as possible of the opportunity to replace the product or of the option to cancel its order.

In case of cancellation, the customer is reimbursed the amount charged to its bank account within a maximum of 14 days.

The customer is automatically directed to the online store of the country in which it is located.

Only orders directed to the countries covered by these GCS can be fulfilled by BERNARDAUD.

While navigating the online store, the customer reviews the products for sale and selects the product(s) it wants to order by clicking on “Add to cart.”

The customer may also decide to buy additional products by clicking on “Continue shopping.” The customer may click at any time on the tab “My cart” to see the products selected.

The customer must then click on “Proceed to checkout” to finalize its order.

The customer then has the opportunity to verify and amend its order by reviewing its “Review your order”, before confirming the order definitively.

To facilitate its order and future orders, the customer has the option to create a personal account.

This account will allow the customer to sign in automatically with each new order, provided that it supplies its user name and password.

All the customer needs to do is to register in the section “Create an account” by filling out the fields provided.

An e-mail confirming the creation of the personal account is then automatically sent to the customer.

The customer may amend its personal information (password, address, etc.) at any time.

Once the cart has been verified and the customer’s personal information provided, the customer is asked to click on “Place your order” to submit its order.

Any confirmed order becomes final and thus entails the full and complete acceptance of these GCS by the customer, which are notably reminded via a hypertext link.

An order confirmation e-mail containing the following information is then sent to the customer:

Order payment is carried out online by credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) only. The payment is secured by the financial partner of BERNARDAUD, Crédit Mutuel (3D Secure).

To proceed to payment, the customer must provide its credit card number, the date of expiration thereof, as well as the security code on the back of the card in the fields provided to these effects.

The client’s bank account will be debited within a maximum of seven (7) days after order confirmation..

- For any order less than one hundred (100) euros, a fixed fee of ten (10) euros is requested from the customers to cover transportation costs.

- For orders over one hundred (100) euros, shipping costs are offered to the customers.

- For any order, a fixed fee of fifteen (15) euros is requested from the customers to cover transportation costs.

- For any order, a fixed fee of twenty(20) Swiss francs is requested from the customers to cover transportation costs.

- For any order, a fixed fee of fifteen (15) pounds sterling is requested from the customers to cover transportation costs.

For any order sent outside the European Union, customs fees may be applied in the country of destination. These customs charges are to be paid by the recipient upon arrival of the package. Following BREXIT, for all orders sent to the United Kingdom, please note that V.A.T is collected by the carrier when the parcel arrives on British soil.

BERNARDAUD reserves the right to refuse an order or to cancel a purchase for reasonable ground (juste motif), in accordance with article L. 121-11 of the French Consumer Code.

Order refusals or cancellations of purchases for reasonable ground do not entail any indemnification, but entail the reimbursement of the price of the products.

Order refusals or cancellations of purchases can happen for the following reasons:

Products are delivered to the address provided by the client at the time the order is placed and provided that this address is located in the countries of delivery covered by these GCS: Metropolitan France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

For any delivery in a country other than the above mentioned, the customer is asked to contact Customer Service at +33(0)5 55 10 21 86.

The deliveries are carried out by designated carriers depending on the country of delivery.

The customer is informed by email of the date of delivery, as well as of the tracking number of its order.

The customer may at any time track the parcel via a hypertext link that allows access to the carrier’s website.

BERNARDAUD strives to make deliveries within a maximum period of fifteen (15) business days.

In the event of the absence of the customer at delivery time, a delivery notification informs the customer of the procedures for storage and provision of its parcel.

In the event of an incomplete or erroneous address, the costs for redelivering the parcel shall be borne by the customer.

In the event that the parcel is lost or not delivered by the carrier, a claim must be made to the carrier.

BERNARDAUD cannot be held liable for any late delivery due to customer unavailability after several appointment proposals with the carrier.

For orders made in France and not delivered within fifteen (15) business days, the customer will be able to cancel its order by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

The sale will thus be considered canceled upon receiving the registered letter, provided that the delivery did not take place before the letter was received.

Upon the delivery of the customer’s order, the customer is advised to check the external condition of its parcel. In case of visible damage, the customer is advised to refuse to receive the package from the carrier. Products that have been customized at the request of the customer can in no case be exchanged or refunded.

The customer is also advised to check the compliance of the products with its order. In the event that products are missing, broken or not compliant with the order, the customer is asked to contact Customer service within seven (7) days following receipt of its order. The customer has up to fourteen (14) days to return its products.

Returns are carried out exclusively on the BERNARDAUD online store, be it for an exchange or for a reimbursement. Products must be returned to the following address:

BERNARDAUD, Boutique en ligne
19, rue Pierre Bernardaud
87000 Limoges
FRANCE

All products returned by the customer must be intact and in their original packaging.

To return products, the customer needs to include the return form in the package, along with the invoice of its order by specifying whether the request is a request for an exchange or for a reimbursement. No return may be accepted without these two documents.

BERNARDAUD reserves the right to refuse to exchange or reimburse the returned product(s) in case of visible damage/impairment to the product(s). Products that have been customized at the request of the customer can in no case be exchanged or refunded.
