*Legal guarantee of conformity: 

ELLERY will deliver to the Customer a Product in conformity with the contract and free of defects of conformity at the time of delivery of the said Product, in the sense that the Product will be fit for the use usually expected of a similar good and will present the characteristics presented at the time of the sale. ELLERY is also responsible for defects of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter has been put at its charge by the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility.

*ELLERY will provide the Client with a legal guarantee against hidden defects: 

ELLERY will deliver to the Client a Product free of hidden defects which would make it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended, or which diminish this use so much, that he would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price, if he had known them.

These guarantees will only come into play if the Customer makes the request within 24 months of delivery of the Product (for the legal guarantee of conformity) or of the discovery of the defect (for the legal guarantee of hidden defects).

Defects of conformity that appear within 24 months of delivery are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

In case of recognised non-conformity of a Product sold by ELLERY, the Client will be able to choose between the repair or the replacement of the Product, except if one of these choices leads to a manifestly disproportionate cost for ELLERY. If the repair or replacement of the Product is impossible, the Customer may be refunded the price paid and return the Product or keep the Product and be refunded part of the price, unless the lack of conformity is minor.

In case of a hidden defect recognised on a Product sold by ELLERY, the Client will have the choice to return the Product and get back the price and expenses incurred by the sale or to keep the Product and get back part of the price.

In all cases, it is up to the Customer to prove that he/she meets the conditions of the guarantee.

The return, replacement or reimbursement of the Product shall be free of charge for the Customer and shall not preclude the possible award of damages in the event that the Customer is entitled to them.

In case of lack of conformity and/or hidden defects recognised by ELLERY, if it is decided to return the Product, the Client must send it to an address to be given via email. The Customer will have to obtain beforehand from the customer service contacted via the email : customercare@ellery.com a return number as well as any precision concerning the shipment. No package will be accepted without a return number. This number must be written legibly on the package with a marker.

After-sales service and availability of spare parts

ELLERY is the owner of all intellectual property rights (with the exception of the moral rights of the authors) relating to the Products and the brands and distinctive signs under which the Products are marketed.

The Client recognises without reserve as such the intellectual property of ELLERY and undertakes not to infringe it in any way whatsoever.
