Product Availability
On occasion, you may be able to place a product in your shopping cart and submit your order for processing, but your order is subsequently cancelled due to unavailability of product. You acknowledge that products may sell quickly and there may be a short period of time after an order has been submitted, but where the product is no longer available. You agree that we may cancel your order after you have received an Order Confirmation without penalty.
On very rare occasions, you may receive a Shipping Confirmation from us, but the product is no longer available in our or our third party fulfillment provider's inventory. You agree that we may rescind our acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if we are unable to ship the product you ordered due to unavailability.
If you're interested in a piece of jewelry that is currently on back order, email us and we can tell you when the item will be back in stock. Sometimes an item may go out of stock before we are able to post a notification on the Site. If this happens, we will contact you directly to discuss possible options.
Pricing
In rare circumstances, data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on our Site due to system or typographical errors. While we make every attempt to avoid these errors, they may occur. Inadvertent errors or inaccurate advertised prices are not binding on Petite Frites, and may be adjusted by Petite Frites at any time. Petite Frites reserves the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur. If an order is placed with a lower product's listed price than the actual price, Petite Frites will, at its discretion, either advise the customer before shipping the product or cancel the order and notify the customer of such cancellation. Our prices are also subject to change without notice. Petite Frites apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our jewelry experts at bonjour@petite-frites.com. In the checkout, prior to placing a binding purchase, you can see the total price including all fees, taxes and shipping.
We do not negotiate prices on our products and all our prices are final.
Payment Information
We accept PayPal and credit card payments. In some countries we offer invoice payments, direct debit and direct bank transfer options through our payment provider Klarna. After you have selected your jewelry and provided shipping information, you will see a prompt for your payment details, such as your credit card information and any promotional codes or gift cards you may have. By entering your payment information and submitting your order, you authorize us and our third party payment processors to charge the amount of the order to your selected payment method.
Your Account & Order
When you access or use the Petite Frites website or your personalized Petite Frites account, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for restricting access to your computer. You are further responsible for all activities that occur under your personal account and your password. If you are under the age of 18 years old, you may use petite-frites.com only under the guidance and direction of a parent or guardian. Please note that Petite Frites reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content or cancel orders.
In the case where a customer files a chargeback, Petite Frites has the right to recover its direct and indirect costs, and cancel any promotional items, free shipping, or other benefits, as determined in Petite Frites's sole and absolute discretion.
Shipping
Please review our shipping policy here.
Passage of Title
Title for goods purchased passes from Petite Frites to the purchaser's designee at the time that goods are delivered to the designee.
Signature Requirements for Delivery
For your protection, Petite Frites insures and registers all items for their full value. Petite Frites requires that all deliveries must be made to a physical business or home address only - we do not ship to P.O. Box addresses. We also require an adult to sign for the delivery of orders exceeding $500 USD in value.
Returns
Please review our return and exchange policy here.
Cancellation of Products
Petite Frites reserves the right to cancel products or services to any customer for any reason at any time. The customer's sole remedy in such cases will be the full refund of any funds that we have collected in reference to the canceled products and/or services.
Diamond Certificates
When you order a loose diamond, Petite Frites will ship it to you with the accompanying diamond grading report (also called a diamond certificate). These grading reports are detailed documents created by diamond grading experts at highly-respected diamond laboratories. These diamond grading reports are extremely expensive to replace and as a result of this, Petite Frites requires each diamond grading report to be included with each returned diamond. If you do not include the diamond grading report with your return, you will be charged a replacement fee of $150 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies).
Comparison Purchasing
We do not allow comparison purchasing. Comparison purchasing is the act of buying several items with the intent of keeping the one you like best and returning the remainder. This causes undue restocking and inventory overhead and can be very costly. To confirm the quality of a jewelry item, please contact one of our diamond and jewelry experts at bonjour@petite-frites.com, and we would be happy to help you make your choice.
Information on our Site
Petite Frites is committed to providing current and accurate information on our web sites, email, chat, and telephone communications. We do not, however, warrant that this information is always correct, accurate or complete.
Information that we communicate is not a binding contract, and should not be treated as such. The sole remedy of a customer acting on incorrect information is to request a cancellation of the order placed as a result of this incorrect information. If an order has been shipped, the customer agrees to either return the product for full credit or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Please review our Return Policies.
Products may appear on the Petite Frites website larger or smaller than their actual size. Given the variation in computer monitor settings, color and size may vary slightly when viewing product photography. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, carat total weight may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated.
Petite Frites retains the full unrestricted rights to all jewelry designs, whether custom or standard, and may choose to market or sell jewelry based on such designs.
All representations including representations regarding gemstone origin, recycled content of precious metals, and estate information, are provided to the best of Petite Frites's knowledge and without guarantee or warranty of any kind.
