Terms and conditions

The present general conditions of sale have for object to define the rights and obligations of the company The Witching Hour and its consumers within the framework of the on-line sale of the items proposed on the present website www.the-witching-hour.com.

The sales carried out via our online store are subjected to the present general conditions of sale and any order placed by the purchaser implies his acceptance on the contents of the provisions below.

Modalities, descriptions and prices:

The items proposed for sale in the store are presented and detailed so that any consumer is able to know the essential characteristics of the products he/she would like to buy. We include the composition and dimensions through the different tabs available on each product sheet so that each customer can know the articles in detail before buying them. 

The photos that illustrate the description of the items are given as an indication and are not contractual. You will not necessarily receive the item presented in the photo (unless otherwise stated in the description), moreover the stones used may be natural and the products are handcrafted, there may be differences in color and details between the product photographed and the one the buyer will receive. These differences are of course minimal and this is always specified on the article sheet of the products concerned.

We invite you to read the description of each article and to contact us via our contact form if you have any question.

Prices and VAT: 

Prices are in euros and do not include shipping costs. The store is registered as a micro-company, so we do not charge VAT. The prices indicated are therefore exclusive of tax, but no tax will be charged during the ordering process, except if you live in Great Britain since the Brexit we are obliged to collect the tax which is then paid to the British government.

The store reserves the right to revise its prices at any time but commits itself to apply the prices in force at the time of the order and this, subject to availability at this date.

Availability of the items: 

The products presented on our online store are valid within the limits of available stocks. In case of unavailability, the products will be displayed as "out of stock" in the description and you will not be able to buy them.

Sometimes we allow the sale of products that are no longer in stock, it is then a pre-order allowing you to buy the product before we have manufactured it. In this case the delivery time will be specified and your order will be put on hold until the product is available and can be shipped to you. If the product could not be available, a replacement product can be offered, a credit note or a refund.

Deliveries and returns

The transport of your package

Packages are generally dispatched within 72h hours after receipt of payment (except during weekend). Delivery times may vary depending on the destination country, the shipping method chosen and the speed of the postal service.

The shipping method and the delivery fees depend on the weight of the package and the destination zone of the order. They are calculated according to the rates of the postal service and include packaging, handling and postage.

We advise you to group your purchases in a single order to save on shipping costs. If you place more than one order on the same day, we will not be able to consolidate these orders into one package and you will be required to pay shipping charges for each one.

It is very important to us to provide you with the best possible shopping experience, which is why we take special care with each package, and why the goods you have ordered are always generously wrapped to be perfectly protected. We try as much as possible to use recycled and recyclable packaging for the preparation of your orders.

Packages are systematically sent with a tracking number that will allow you to follow the progress of your order and will attest to its delivery.

When you order, you will have the possibility to choose different delivery methods offering you different services such as delivery against signature or insurance to protect you in case of loss of the parcel by the postal service. For parcels in France, we offer insurance and delivery against signature for any order over 70 euros.

The customer will always be informed of the delivery costs of his order after having given his address and before proceeding to the payment.

Breakdown of delivery times by country:

It also happens that the postal service takes longer than usual, especially during sales, vacations or during the end of the year. We invite you to take this into account when placing an order during these times of the year.

These possible delays are totally independent of our will and we have no control over them, therefore the store cannot be held responsible.

The customer is responsible for verifying the accuracy of the information provided to the store.

In case of return of the package because of wrong address given by the customer, missing name on the mailbox or not withdrawal of the package in the post office, the cost of re-sending the package may be claimed to the customer before returning the order.

If your package is not delivered:

In case of non-receipt of the package, the tracking number will attest to the delivery or non-delivery of the package.

The customer will have to contact the store as soon as possible to report the non-receipt of the package. After examining the situation, a claim may be filed with the postal service by the store. The tracking number of your package is there to protect your purchases and to help us find them via the claim made to the Post Office.

Please know that we take this type of situation very seriously and we make it a point of honor to resolve them.

If after filing the claim the Post Office confirms that your package is lost, we will return the goods to you. Please note that a claim systematically involves an investigation by the postal service and that this can cause delays of up to 2 months if you are located outside France.

The tracking number being proof of the shipment of the package, the store can not be held responsible for the possible non-receipt of the package and / or its loss by the postal service.

Therefore, no refund or exchange can be claimed without a complaint to the Post Office (made by us), and a response from the postal service stating that the package is lost.

If the tracking number of the package indicates that it has been delivered, no claim can be made to the postal service, and no exchange or refund can be made.

If you frequently encounter difficulties in having your orders delivered by the postal service, we invite you to choose the delivery method "Colissimo with signature" in order to avoid any problem.

It is also up to the customer to make sure that his name is on his mailbox so that the letter carrier can make the delivery of the package.
