Information - Warning - Recommandations for the evalutation of the quality of the products
Due to the special nature of the manufacturing process and the need to source the highest quality natural materials for the creation of the items, colours, wood varnish, reflections and visual impressions may vary from one item to another of the same series or from one batch to another. Wood and leather are natural materials and have not undergone any industrial treatment. Therefore, they may have imperfections or variations in appearance and colour. Solid wood items may crack or split due to weather conditions and wood stains may not have the same effect on solid wood parts as on lacquered wood. In particular, « full grain semi-anilines » and/or untreated « full grain » leathers may show irregularities, stains, or other marks not found in inert leather. Finally, the appearance of silk and other delicate fabrics may vary depending on the backing, lining, and padding. Such imperfections of the product are inherent to craftsmanship production and cannot result in a “compensation”, as defined in section “Guarantees – Return” below. Raw materials used to manufacture Thierry Lemaire’s Products are selected for their excellence. In case of shortage of these raw materials after the order, Thierry Lemaire can select similar or equivalent raw materials. The Buyer will be informed in writing of such change and will have a period of 30 days from the receipt of this information by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to cancel the order. The examination, comments or reserves on the Products manufactured by Thierry Lemaire must be made considering the choices made as regard to the materials and the inevitable constraints which result from it. Any reference or comparison with industrial Products - and thus standardized, contrary to those offered by Thierry Lemaire, will not be accepted.
Cooling off period

If this period expires on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a holiday, it is extended to the next working day. If the Products can be delivered in several packages and on different dates, the cooling off period begins from the receipt of the last Product. To use his/her right under the cooling off period, the Buyer must download the return form, expressing his/her decision without any reservation or ambiguity, and send it by mail (Customer Service - 18, rue de Beaune - 75007 Paris) or by email (contact@thierry-lemaire.fr). Products are returned at the expense of the Buyer. They must be new and returned in their original packaging. They are returned at the Buyer’s own risk. The Buyer will take all the useful measures to ensure their perfect condition. Damaged item, not packed in their original packaging or not new will not be accepted. The order of furniture manufactured from a specific study or intended to be manufactured as a special project (specification and / or individualization of the Products on request of the Buyer), excludes the right of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of Article L.221-28, 3 of the French Consumer Code. If the Buyer returns the Product which falls under this exception, Thierry Lemaire will hold it at his/her disposal, but he cannot be required to return it at his expense. L’Acquéreur pourra exercer son droit de rétractation en exprimant sa décision sans la moindre réserve ou ambiguïté par courrier (Service clients - 18, rue de Beaune - 75007 Paris) ou par email (sales@thierry-lemaire.fr) en envoyant un formulaire de rétractation. Les Produits sont renvoyés aux frais de l’Acquéreur. Ils doivent être en état neuf et retournés dans leur emballage d'origine. Ils sont renvoyés aux risques et périls de l’Acquéreur qui prendra les diligences utiles pour assurer leur parfait état. Tout article endommagé, non emballé dans l’emballage d’origine ou n’étant pas dans son état neuf ne sera pas repris. La commande de meubles fabriqués à partir d’une étude spécifique ou destinés à être fabriqués en tant que projet spécial (spécification et / ou individualisation des produits sur demande de l’Acquéreur), exclut tout droit de rétractation conformément aux dispositions de l’article L.221-28, 3° du Code de la consommation. Si le Client renvoie le Produit qui tombe sous le coup de cette exception, Thierry Lemaire le tiendra à sa disposition mais ne pourra être tenu à son renvoi à ses frais.
