Products and Prices :

PRODUCT MANUFACTURE

Valerie Danenberg makes every effort to ensure that her online catalogue is as accurate and correct as possible. In order for you to see the details of certain products, they may appear larger or smaller than they actually are. As each computer is configured differently, their colour may also vary. Our goal is to give you as much information and detail as possible so that you can feel like you know your product before you own it. However, the weight of the stone displayed may vary by 0.15 carats per from the actual weight of the stone. The weight of the setting can vary according to the size of the finger, up to 0.50 carats depending on the model, which has an impact on the price. The weight of gold can vary according to the size of the finger by about 5 grams more or less depending on the model, which will affect the price. As our manufacturing is handmade, it is possible that some of the measurements and weights shown on our product pages may differ slightly from the actual product you will receive. The Products covered by the T&Cs/Guidelines are those that appear on the website and are sold and shipped directly by the Company. The Products are described on the corresponding page within the site and mention is made of all their essential characteristics. The sale is subject to the Company's available stocks. The Company cannot be held responsible for stock shortages or the impossibility of selling a Product that is not in stock.

When a registered user wishes to purchase a product sold by the company through the site, the price indicated on the product page corresponds to the price in euros, all taxes included (TTC), excluding shipping costs and taking into account applicable discounts in force on the day of the order. The price indicated does not include delivery costs, which will be detailed, where applicable, in the summary before placing the Order. If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will provide the Client with a detailed quote outlining the price calculation formula. All orders are payable in Euros. Under no circumstances shall a user be entitled to claim any discounts that are no longer applicable on the date of the Order.

If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will send to the Customer a detailed quotation setting out the formula for calculating the price. All Orders are payable in euros. Under no circumstances may a user demand the application of discounts no longer in force on the day of the Order.

The company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time and without notice, subject to article 1.3 above. Products already ordered will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force at the time of the registration of Your order.

An invoice for Your order is issued upon shipment of Your order. It can also be requested by telephone or email from Valerie Danenberg's Customer Service.

PAYMENT CONDITIONS

Unless otherwise agreed, all sales shall be paid for in cash at the time the Order is placed. Depending on the nature or amount of the Order, the Company is free to require a deposit or payment in full at the time of placing the Order or upon receipt of the invoice.

In the event of non-payment of all or part of the Products on the date agreed on the invoice, the Professional Client shall pay the Company a late payment penalty equal to the rate applied by the European Central Bank for its refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points. The financing operation used is the most recent on the date of the Order for the services.
In addition to the late payment penalties, any sum, including the deposit, not paid on the due date by the Professional Client will automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed penalty of 40 euros due for collection costs.
In the event of non-payment of all or part of the Products on the date agreed on the invoice, the Consumer Client shall pay the Company a late payment penalty at a rate equal to the legal interest rate.
No compensation may be made by the Client between penalties for late supply of the Products ordered and sums owed by the Client to the Company for the purchase of Products offered on the Site.
The penalty due by the Client, whether Professional or Consumer, is calculated on the amount including tax of the remaining sum due, and runs from the due date of the price without any prior notice of default being necessary.
