Return Policy

According to the Book VI. Market practices and consumer protection from the Belgian Economic Law Code (hereafter called “LBC"), the client is entitled – without motivation - to renounce to purchase of the bought product within 14 days after delivery of the purchased product.
According Book VI. Market practices and consumer protection from the Belgian Economic Law Code, the client has no right to renounce if the object of the purchase is a product specially offered or manufactured for the client according to his own specifications (thus not standardly offered on www.Palart.com) or has an obvious personalized character. All items that are not standardly offered on www.Palart.com are considered products with a personalized character. The following list is a non-exhaustive summary: tailor made jewellery, products with prices on request, loose diamonds, diamond jewellery with diamonds with altered specifications on specific request of the client, gemstones, products listed on www.Palart.com that have been altered in any possible way on request of the client, etc.…These articles are explicitly manufactured or purchased at the request of the customer and as a result have a personal character. The return policy is therefore not valid on these articles.
For most purchases at PALART there is a delay between payment and reception. Occasionally, it is possible to immediately purchase, pay and receive a jewel that is available in one of the PALART showrooms. Consequently, the return policy does not apply here, since the customer was able to evaluate the diamond jewel before payment, purchase, and reception, just as with any 'bricks & mortar' jewellery store.
To avoid abuse, the right to renounce (return policy) is only applicable in case that the ordered and purchased article has been effectively delivered to and received by the client. In case that the client wishes to cancel an order prior to delivery, the return rule cannot be respected and thus this request is considered a breach of contract. PALART has the right to reject or accept the request. If PALART accepts the request, only possible if the product can be restocked without any further costs, 5% of the product price excl. VAT will be charged to the client to cover the extra administration cost resulting from thebreachofcontract.

Extension to the right of renouncement

Notwithstanding the legal prescriptions mentioned in art. 7.1. of the present general conditions, PALART grants to the client (but only those clients who are private individuals) the possibility -without motivation - to renounce to the purchase within thirty (30) days after delivery of the purchased product. The exception regarding the right to renounce according to art. 80, §4, 2° LBC are applicable.

When the client wants to exercise his right to renounce, he is obliged to return the delivered product within 30 days after reception of jewel.
Prior to the use of his right to renounce the client will inform a representative of PALART to renounce to the purchase. In case you want to return your purchased jewel,
