Please read these Conditions of Sale carefully. These Conditions of Sale are applicable to any order placed through the Platforms or Client Relations Center (together with the “Sales Channels”). Please note that before placing an order for products or services, you will be asked to agree to these Conditions of Sale. If you do not agree to these Conditions of Sale, then you will not be able to order any products or services through the Sales Channels. Sales concluded through physical points of sale (such as our retail boutiques) or third parties (such as authorized retailers) are not subject to these Conditions of Sale.
Purchasing eligibility
Only individuals (and not legal entities) who (a) have reached the age of legal majority required to enter into contracts (eighteen in most countries); (b) have legal capacity to enter into contracts; and (c) use a shipping address in the country or countries that we ship to as specified by the Sales Channels, may order products through the Sales Channels. If you are under the age of legal majority or otherwise cannot lawfully enter into a contract, you must have your parent or guardian place an order on your behalf and they will be asked to agree to these Conditions of Sale.
By placing an order through the Sales Channels, you represent and warrant that you are a bona fide end-user customer purchasing for your own or another’s personal use and will not deliver, sell or otherwise distribute our products or purchase our products or services for commercial purposes.
Product availability & quantity
All orders placed through the Sales Channels are subject to availability and acceptance of such orders by us. Products shown on the Platforms, which cannot be added to the shopping bag, are not available for sale via the Platforms. The Client Relations Center can provide more information as regards these products. For information about the order process, please refer to our Order Process section below.
Quantity limits may apply in relation to orders for certain products. We reserve the right to refuse at any moment in time, without prior notice, orders exceeding a certain number of authorized products.
Account registration & guest checkout
To place an order, you may either register and create an online account, or place an order as a guest without creating an online account by selecting the "Guest Checkout" option. Where you place an order as a guest, we may still create an account on our internal systems to record your purchase(s).
For purchases with delivery to addresses in France: In accordance with article L.223-2 of the Consumer Code, we inform you that you are entitled to subscribe to the “Bloctel” list of opposition to canvassing, a practice to which Cartier has no recourse. For more information, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
Personalized services
Personalization services (for example engraving or embossing) or other services may be available on a selection of products. If you wish to have your product personalized, please provide the details in the Sales Channels as requested.
We reserve the right to withhold or refuse acceptance of any order for personalized products, or with a message card, that contains language that is objectionable, unlawful or contrary to our policies. You are responsible for ensuring that any wording you provide for personalizing products is correct.
In addition, orders for personalized products cannot be cancelled and such products that have been personalized in any way or otherwise made to your bespoke specifications cannot be returned to us for exchange or refund as described in these Conditions of Sale. This does not affect your consumer rights (please see the Manufacturer’s guarantee and your legal consumer rights section for further information).
Order Process
Order Process
The order process of the Platforms will include the following:
- Add to Shopping Bag: Once you have chosen a product, you may place this product in your shopping bag. You may then decide to continue shopping for other products and add them to your shopping bag (subject to availability and quantity limits). Placing an item in your shopping bag does not guarantee availability for purchase, which is not confirmed until you receive a written Confirmation of Order & Shipment.
- Guest/My Account Checkout: When you are ready, you then proceed to “Checkout”, either as a guest or through your registered account. You may also remove one or several products you have selected from the shopping bag as part of the checkout process.
- Delivery, Review and Payment: As part of the checkout process, you add and review your order details and personal information (including e-mail, shipping address, billing address and payment information). You should carefully check and confirm all details on the order summary page before placing your order.
- Placing of Order: You then check the relevant box and place your order.
In the case of an order being placed through the Client Relations Center, the Cartier ambassador will walk you through the steps above and verbally ask you to confirm the details of your order.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse, cancel and terminate orders at any time on reasonable grounds. For example, we may refuse, terminate or cancel your order if there is an ongoing dispute concerning payment of a prior order or if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in (i) fraudulent activities; or (ii) have otherwise violated these Conditions of Sale.
Prices, taxes and shipping costs
All prices shown on the product pages of the Platforms or quoted by the Client Relations Center include sales taxes/VAT but exclude shipping costs and other taxes unless otherwise stated.
The applicable currency will be updated based on the shipping destination after you provide us with the delivery address and will be shown in your shopping bag before you place your order. You should check updated prices and currency carefully.
Sales, use or other taxes will vary based on the location to which products are being shipped.
Shipping costs, if any, are described in the Shipping Policy below or on the Sales Channels. Shipping costs are not stated on the product pages but will be added to the product price after you have chosen your delivery options. These costs will be summarised before you are asked to confirm and place your order and will also be reflected in our email correspondence with you once you have chosen your delivery options.
We may offer a VAT refund mechanism if you decide to have the products delivered in certain countries of the European Union and, no longer than thirty (30) days afterwards, export them outside the European Union upon certain conditions. Such mechanism will not be available to European Economic Area customers. For details, please refer to our FAQs section or contact our Client Relations Center
We reserve the right to modify prices and delivery costs at any time without prior notice.
We take reasonable care that the prices of products and delivery costs are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered into the system or communicated to you via the Client Relations Center. However, it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products offered through our Sales Channels or delivery costs may be incorrectly priced. If any of the products you place an order for or any delivery costs are incorrectly priced, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you have provided during the order process, we will cancel the order and notify you in writing. If we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing or delivery cost error occurs, we may cancel supply of the product and refund you any sums you have paid.
Please note that changes to applicable law between the date your order is placed and the date you are sent a written Confirmation of Order & Shipment may result in changes to the taxes associated with your order. If the resulting change is an increase in the taxes that you are charged, we will contact you and ask that you reconfirm your order.
Payment
We accept the methods of payment identified as part of the order process via the Sales Channels. Depending upon the means of payment, we may require additional information, including specific forms of identification.
When ordering on the Platforms, you will need to enter your payment details on the appropriate form. In the case of an order placed by telephone, you will need to communicate to the Client Relations Center your complete payment details. All payment card holders are subject to validation check and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to us, you will need to contact your card issuer directly to solve this problem.
Other payment methods may also be subject to validation checks and authorization by the payment system providers as well. You expressly authorize us to perform security checks, where we deem necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your payment card details, to authenticate your identity, to validate your payment card, to obtain an initial payment card authorization and to authorize individual purchase transactions.
The full amount of your purchase will typically be blocked on your payment card until your order is shipped, at which point you will be sent a Confirmation of Order & Shipment and your payment card will be charged the applicable purchase price.
Where you use a credit card/debit card or any other instant or early capture payment solution offered on the Platforms as a payment method, the full amount of your purchase may be taken immediately following the placement of your order. Pre-payment shall not impact any of your legal rights under these conditions of sale (including for example any right of refund). Once your order is shipped, you will be sent a confirmation of order and shipment. If we cannot meet our shipping and/or delivery obligations set out below, we will notify you via e-mail and we will refund the pre-payment without undue delay. For credit card/debit card, the full amount of your purchase may also be blocked on your payment card until your order is shipped, at which point you will be sent a confirmation of order and shipment and your payment card will be charged the applicable purchase price.
We may accept bank wire transfer for orders at our sole discretion. We do not charge a fee for bank wire transfers for orders made through the Sales Channels or Client Relations Center, however, some financial institutions may charge a fee for using a bank wire transfer. We require that all bank wire transfer orders placed by telephone be confirmed through an order approval process. We may acknowledge a bank wire transfer order, but the order will not be processed until the payment has been received and confirmed by us by e-mail. If your wire transfer payment is not credited into our bank account within seven (7) days after you have placed your order, your order will be cancelled.
Acknowledgement of Order
Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed through the Sales Channels, you will receive a written Acknowledgement of Order (by e-mail or otherwise confirming the details of your order together with an order reference number). Please make sure that you save this order reference number for any future enquiries regarding your order. This Acknowledgement of Order is not an acceptance of your order. To confirm the order, we will conduct its usual credit, anti-fraud, security and related legal checks and, if acceptable, will then process your order. Upon receipt of the Acknowledgement of Order, it is your responsibility to review it and confirm that it accurately reflects your intended order. If you have any questions or concerns or if the Acknowledgement of Order does not reflect your intentions, you should contact the Client Relations Center promptly.
These Conditions of Sale will be provided to you when we acknowledge your order.
Shipping Policy
We only accept orders for delivery to the country or countries that are identified during the Order Process. Please note that we do not ship to certain addresses, such as military, certain restricted areas, pick-up points, or PO boxes. For further information, please refer to our FAQs section or contact the Client Relations Center.
Boutique pick-up may be offered, free of charge, to certain locations. Please refer to the FAQ section, the Platforms or call the Client Relations Center for more information. We will inform you by e-mail or by telephone when the product is ready for pick-up at the boutique.
If you order several products, we will ship the order only once all products are available (there will be no partial shipments, except for fragrances, and unless otherwise communicated to you).
Confirmation of Order & Shipment
Upon shipment of your order, we will send you a Confirmation of Order & Shipment in writing (by e-mail or otherwise). This Confirmation of Order & Shipment constitutes our acceptance of your order and indicates the existence of a binding sales contract.
Delivery
We will usually require a handwritten or electronic signature by you, or a person at the nominated delivery address (unless arranged by you otherwise), to confirm the delivery of each product, at which point risk and responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you.
If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example, as a gift), then you understand and accept that evidence of a signature by such recipient (or a person at the delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment of the sales contract by Cartier and transfer of responsibility to the recipient in the same way as if the product had been delivered to you.
We reserve the right to deliver products only to the person who is the intended recipient of the order as stated on the label of the parcel and to request ID check for verification purposes at the time of delivery for certain categories of products. Please refer to our FAQs section or call our Client Relations Center for more information.
Invoices
When ordering products via the Sales Channels, you will receive an invoice that will be sent to you in writing (to your e-mail address as a PDF attachment or otherwise).

MANUFACTURER'S GUARANTEE AND YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER
We are committed to ensuring that each product meets our strict quality standards and has passed all our checks, both technical and aesthetic.
Eligible creations are covered by the applicable Cartier International Guarantee, which is provided by our international network of Cartier Boutiques, Cartier Authorised Dealers and Cartier Authorised After-sales Service Centres. If you wish to repair a product covered by the applicable Cartier International Guarantees, please refer to the relevant Cartier International Guarantee and call our Customer Relations Centre for further information.
For purchases with delivery to addresses in France: Cartier ensures that the legal guarantees of conformity as well as those relating to any hidden defects relating to the item sold are respected, which you could benefit from under the French Consumer Code (articles L 217-3 to L217-20) and the French Civil Code (articles 1641 to 1649).
The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any other commercial guarantee granted to you.
In accordance with the article D211-2 of the French Consumer Code, we wish to draw to your attention to the following legal provisions:
« The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance. « When the contract of sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service continuously for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee is applicable to this digital content or this digital service throughout the expected supply period. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or the digital service and not the date of appearance of the latter. « The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation for the professional, where applicable, to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good. « The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of the consumer’s request, free of charge and without major inconvenience for the consumer. « If the good is repaired within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee. « If the consumer requests the repair of the good, but the seller imposes the replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good. « The consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by being reimbursed in full against return of the goods, if: 1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the good; 2° The repair or replacement of the goods takes place after a period of thirty days; 3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular when the consumer bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-compliant good, or if they bear the cost of installing the repaired good or replacement; 4° The non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller's attempt to bring it into conformity which has remained unsuccessful. « The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the resolution of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the reduction of the price or the resolution of the contract being immediate. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the good beforehand. « The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor. « Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or its replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the restored good. « The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor. « Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or its replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the restored good. « The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code. « A seller who, in bad faith, obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of 300,000 euros, which may be increased up to 10% of the average annual turnover. (article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code). « The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty gives the right to a price reduction if the property is kept or to a full refund against return of the property. » |
