Products

Products from de Caron are available from www.de-caron.com and selected authorised dealers. We cannot guarantee that the products displayed on this website will be available at all times and at every dealer as this is subject to availability and supply. Product descriptions, specifications, colours, and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice.

We try our best to depict the products as accurately as possible on our website. Nevertheless, some products may appear larger or smaller than the actual size which is also due to the intention to show details of certain products.
We have tried to show the colours and detail of our products in the online store as close to reality as possible. However, the colours that appear on the screen can vary in accordance with the quality and/or settings of your monitor. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the colours shown on this website exactly reproduce the colours and detailing of the actual products.

Ordering

All orders are subject to availability (we will inform you by e-mail if any items are unavailable). Please note that the products in the shopping bag are not placed on order until after you have completed the checkout process and the payment has been accepted. You will receive an e-mail containing your order details which will be followed by a confirmation e-mail. Should you not receive an e-mail confirming your order and the dispatch of the products then your order has not been processed. In case we are unable to fulfil your order, we will notify you by e-mail and will refund the payment.
In case a product has been discontinued de Caron has the right to cancel the purchase and refund the paid amount. We will notify you if a replacement or equivalent products are available.
Orders made in another person’s name without his/her consent, or otherwise will be reported to the authorities.

Price and Payment

We reserve the right to alter prices of products on this website at any time without notice. In case there has been a pricing error when we receive your order we will contact you and you will be asked if you wish to proceed at the correct price. Once confirmed that you wish to proceed with the order please be aware that we are under no obligation to supply the product(s) until after we have sent you an e-mail confirming your order has been dispatched. SOHANE GmbH is a VAT registered company in Austria.
You may pay by credit and debit card as well as PayPal. SOHANE GmbH does not store any credit card details. We use PayPal for our payment processing system which is compliant with industry security standards.
Prices on the website are displayed in British Pounds (GBP). If you wish to pay in currency other than GBP then the price will be converted by your preferred payment provider to your preferred currency and may be subject to currency fluctuations and a conversion fee, depending on the policy of your payment provider.
In the event that no payment has been received after submitting your order, we may automatically cancel your order.

Promotional Offers and Codes

All promotional offers are dependent on stock availability and may change at any time.
Promo codes are only accepted when entered during the checkout process. Please note that the promo codes can only be applied to full price items (codes won’t be accepted for sale items) and only one code can be used per order. The same promo code cannot be used more than one time by the same purchaser. Promotional codes are non-transferrable and no cash alternative is available.

Delivery

We ship worldwide however; there can be a rare case that we cannot process the order due to shipping restrictions (we most probably might not be able to send orders to Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Syria and North Korea).

We want you to receive your order as quickly as possible. Delivery timings and costs depend on the stated delivery address’s location. (Please see our Delivery page for information on options, timings and costs of delivery). Where delivery times and dates are given, they are for general guidance only and de Caron cannot be held liable for late delivery of goods.

Please note that packages are not transported during weekends and local public holidays. Due to external factors (extreme weather conditions, technical failures, customs delays, etc.) the delivery times might vary. Estimated delivery times are for in stock products only. If we have not delivered your order to you within 30 (thirty) days of the date of the contract (or any other date that we may agree with you) then you may cancel your order and you will receive a refund of the amount of money paid by you through your original payment method.
All deliveries are tracked and must be signed for. For this reason, it is not possible to deliver to a PO Box address. It is the customer’s duty to supply a valid and correct delivery address.

Any potential import duty and taxes incurred for shipping to certain countries are the responsibility of the customer. Products delivered to some destinations, mainly outside the EU, may be subject to local import duties and taxes. Please note that de Caron cannot be liable for any additional local sales taxes imposed. Please contact your local relevant authority for more information.

The product(s) will be your responsibility from the time of delivery. Should the packaging be damaged at the time of delivery, please check the package thoroughly in the presence of the courier in order to verify the condition of the delivered product(s). Please tell the courier in case your jewellery is damaged and make a note. Get in touch with our customer service team immediately.

Cancellations, Returns and Refunds Policy

In case you need to cancel your order you can do so prior to dispatch of the product(s). Please get in touch with us immediately at customercare@de-caron.com.
If you wish to return or exchange your item(s) then please write to customercare@de-caron.com within 14 calendar days of receipt of your order.

Please note that this right only applies if the item(s) are unworn and returned in the original condition including the provided branded packaging. When you prepare your parcel for the return/exchange please package the product(s) securely and include a note with your Full Name, Address and Order Number inside the parcel. You can choose your preferred courier. Please keep in mind that the parcel needs to be tracked and signed for due to security reasons. Please understand that de Caron is not responsible for the return shipment process. Shipping costs to send back the items will be at your charge.

You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the item(s) while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, de Caron may have a right to deduct the cost of any deterioration, up to the price of the item(s), from the refund to which you are otherwise entitled.

When notifying our customer service team you should include your Full Name, Order Number, and the Product Code of the item you wish to send back also stating the reason for the return or exchange.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any returns or exchanges for items purchased from a third party.

Once the returned item(s) will be received and inspected fully, a refund will be carried out. Please note that refunds can take several working days before appearing in your account (which shouldn’t take longer than 14 days after we have received your parcel back). We will refund by using the same method you originally used to pay for the order, unless agreed otherwise.

Should you receive a faulty or damaged product, please contact us as soon as possible and return the item within 14 days of receipt. We will not process claims for goods received as faulty after this period of time. We will refund, repair or replace faulty product(s) if they are found to be damaged prior to delivery to you, or defective (through no fault of your own wearing or use). Given that you have not worn or used and damaged the item(s), we will refund the cost including any delivery charges you may have paid.

If you wish to exchange your product(s) then the value of the new item(s) has to match or exceed the original value of the product(s) and you will be required to pay the difference.
