3. Information about the articles

The Customer is informed that for technical reasons, the photographs and illustrations of the products appearing on the site may not fully render the appearance of the product in reality (colour, size, reflection, etc.). The Customer is invited to refer to the description of each Product to know its characteristics.

SAS MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 cannot be held responsible for interruptions or delays on the site due to force majeure or the impossibility for the customer to access the site temporarily, due to events beyond its control, such as computer breakdowns, interruptions in the telephone network, the Internet network or failure of the customer's Internet reception equipment.

4. Products
The "Emaux et Faïences" products offered on this site are exclusively manufactured and distributed by LA MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 at its operating site 3 rue des Emaux 54400 Longwy. All the pieces are delivered with their certificate of authenticity. They bear the imprint of the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy 1798, and the number corresponding to the print run for limited edition pieces, thus guaranteeing the originality of each piece.

Important information: Our enamel objects are only decorative, do not pour water inside (cracked earthenware not waterproof) - Never use them for food.

The Longwy enamels are made of cracked earthenware and it is impossible to guarantee their watertightness. In order to overcome this problem, we fill the vase with a waterproofing product, but sometimes a pinhole in the inner surface is enough for water to slowly seep into the clay.
In short, cracked earthenware vases such as Longwy are never really waterproof and are more for decorative use than for being a real container. Enamel balls and enamel vases, apart from the small enamel cone vases, are not intended to hold water and do not undergo any waterproofing treatment.

5. Availability
The products listed on the site are created on demand, subject to limited and numbered editions for certain collections, and are therefore available within this limit.
Information on the availability of the article is provided to you at the time of placing the order. If, despite the Company's vigilance, the items ordered are no longer available, SAS MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 undertakes to inform the customer by any means (telephone call or e-mail) as soon as possible and will reimburse the price invoiced, if any, by crediting the customer's account within 30 days at the latest.

6. Order
Automatic recording systems are considered as proof of the nature, content and date of the order.
The order will only be taken into account by SAS MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 if the customer has clearly identified him/herself by providing the information required in the order form (surname and first name, full address, telephone number, email address, etc.).
When registering the customer's personal data, the customer must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the compulsory data provided. Any subsequent changes must be reported as soon as possible.
The information provided by the buyer when placing an order is binding on the buyer: in the event of an error in the recipient's contact details, the seller cannot be held responsible for the impossibility of delivering the product.

7. Validation - confirmation of the order
SAS MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 confirms the acceptance of the order to the customer at the email address provided by the customer. The sale will only be concluded once the order has been confirmed.
Validation of the order therefore implies acceptance without restriction or reservation of these general conditions of sale.
SAS MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 reserves the right not to confirm an order for any reason whatsoever, in particular "either because of a problem with the manufacture of the product or because of a problem with the order received", to cancel any order from a customer with whom there is a dispute or incident, to suspend or close the account of a customer who contravenes the provisions of the general conditions of sale.

The order is generally delivered by coliposte for Metropolitan France or by carrier for Europe and International. The Customer will be notified by email when the order is shipped. The postman or the carrier delivers the parcel to the recipient at the delivery address indicated by the Customer on the order form, against signature of the delivery slip. If the Customer is absent, the deliveryman will leave a notice in the recipient's letterbox, with instructions for collecting the parcel from the nearest post office or, in the case of a carrier, contact information for a new delivery of the parcel, within a period specified by the carrier. After this period, the parcel will be sent back to LA MANUFACTURE DES EMAUX DE LONGWY 1798 by the post office or by the carrier. If the customer decides to proceed with a new delivery, this is at his/her expense and must be paid for before the return by contacting Customer Service by email.

Our products, which are FRAGILE by destination, are the subject of great care during their packaging. They are effectively protected inside the package to limit the risk of breakage during transport.  

Upon delivery of the package, the customer must open it in the presence of the carrier in order to check the condition of the item. In case of damage or breakage of the article, the customer will refuse the parcel, he will write "Refusal of the parcel" and will detail precisely the reason of the refusal, the date and his signature on the delivery note and will keep a duplicate or a copy.

He/she must then send his/her complaints to Customer Services by email. 

After this procedure has been followed and the item has been checked with the carrier, the item will be automatically exchanged, subject to availability (limited editions) and taking into account a new manufacturing time. The customer will have the choice either to maintain his order, if the article is still available or to choose a new article, or to cancel his order, in which case the reimbursement of the price paid will be credited to his account within 30 days.
These options will be offered to the customer as soon as he/she complains to our Customer Service.

For deliveries outside of Metropolitan France, the customer agrees to pay all taxes due on the import of products, customs duty, value added tax, and any other taxes due under the laws of the country where the order is received.
