Notwithstanding the above provisions, products whose packaging has been opened, used by the Customer or damaged cannot be returned by the Customer and will not be taken back.

The Customer undertakes not to register any industrial property rights relating to creations, inventions, drawings and models, brands, plans, processes belonging to G2M and protecting the products.

11. Legal guarantee

The Customer benefits in any case from the legal guarantees of conformity of the good to the contract and hidden defects, according to the provisions reproduced below of the Consumer Code and the Civil Code.

Nevertheless, when repairing the product under the legal guarantee would incur costs for G2M that exceed the price of the product delivered, G2M may decide to replace the product with an identical product.    

In addition, the Customer is expressly reminded that the precious metals that make up the products, and in particular silver, may suffer discolouration or deterioration due to oxidation or contact with other substances or active products, such as certain cosmetics and perfumes or bleach, in particular contained in swimming pools or jacuzzis. Similarly, jewellery made of precious metals is bound to suffer the usual damage, such as scratches, as soon as it is worn.  

Consequently, G2M cannot be held responsible for normal wear and tear of the products or for deterioration or discolouration caused by oxidation of the precious metals making up the products or by contact with any product or active substance.
