Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

Preamble

These Terms of Service (hereinafter "Terms") govern all contractual relations between UNION and any individual or legal entity (hereinafter the "Customer") making a purchase on uniongeneva.com.

Any order placed on the Site implies full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms. UNION reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. The applicable Terms are those in force at the date of the order.

1. Seller identification

2. Purpose and products

UNION designs, manufactures, and sells handcrafted personalized jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets) made from the unique imprint of a loved one — a pet or a human (fingerprint, hand or foot imprint).

Each piece is a custom-made creation, individually manufactured for each Customer from their imprint. Jewelry is available in several materials (silver, gold-plated) depending on the options offered on the Site.

3. Ordering process

Orders are placed exclusively online via the Site, following these steps:

  1. The Customer selects their product and options
  2. The Customer provides their details and proceeds to payment
  3. UNION confirms the order by email
  4. UNION ships an imprint kit to the Customer (metal box, silicone molds, wax, instructions, prepaid return envelope)
  5. The Customer takes the imprint according to the instructions
  6. The Customer returns the imprint in the return envelope
  7. UNION manufactures the jewelry from the received imprint
  8. UNION delivers the finished jewelry to the address provided by the Customer

The order confirmation email constitutes final acceptance of the contract between UNION and the Customer.

4. Prices and payment

Prices are indicated on the Site in euros (€), including all applicable taxes, excluding shipping fees which are specified before order validation.

UNION accepts the following payment methods via Shopify Payments:

  • Credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Shop Pay

Payment is required at the time of order. The order is only validated after effective payment authorization by the banking institution. In the event of payment refusal, the order is automatically cancelled.

UNION reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order in case of existing dispute with the Customer, total or partial non-payment, proven or suspected fraud.

5. Manufacturing and delivery times

The average overall time between order and final delivery is 5 to 6 weeks, broken down as follows:

  • Kit preparation and shipping: 1 to 2 business days
  • Kit delivery to Customer: 3 to 7 days depending on destination
  • Imprint creation by the Customer: variable (depends on the Customer)
  • Imprint return to UNION: 3 to 7 days depending on destination
  • Jewelry manufacturing: 2 to 3 weeks
  • Final jewelry delivery: 3 to 7 days depending on destination

These timeframes are given for information purposes only. UNION cannot be held responsible for delays caused by external factors (carriers, customs, weather, force majeure, Customer delay in returning their imprint).

6. Delivery

UNION ships worldwide. Shipping costs are calculated automatically at the time of order based on destination.

For deliveries outside the European Union, the Customer is solely responsible for paying any customs duties, local taxes, and import fees. UNION cannot be held responsible for delays due to customs checks.

The risk of loss or damage to products is transferred to the Customer upon delivery of the parcel to the carrier.

7. Refund policy

The conditions for refunds, cancellations, and returns are detailed in our Refund Policy, accessible from the Site footer and forming an integral part of these Terms.

In summary: as jewelry pieces are custom creations, they are not refundable once production has started (Article L221-28 3° of the French Consumer Code). Only manufacturing defects and non-conformities give rise to a refund or remake.

8. Right of withdrawal

In accordance with Article L221-28 3° of the French Consumer Code and Article 16(c) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the supply of goods made according to the Customer's specifications or clearly personalized.

Therefore, as soon as the imprint kit is shipped (marking the start of contract execution), the Customer expressly waives their right of withdrawal. This legal exception is reminded to the Customer before order validation.

9. Intellectual property and image rights

Imprint ownership: The imprint provided by the Customer remains their property. UNION undertakes to use it only to manufacture the ordered jewelry and to store it securely for a minimum of 12 months.

Rights on final jewelry photos: By placing an order, the Customer authorizes UNION to use photos of the finished jewelry (and, where applicable, photos voluntarily shared by the Customer wearing the jewelry) for commercial communication purposes: social media posts, advertising, website, marketing materials. This authorization is free, non-exclusive, and valid worldwide for the legal duration of copyright.

The Customer may withdraw this authorization at any time by simple email to uniongeneva@gmail.com for their own photos.

UNION brand: All elements of the Site (logo, brand, texts, photos, videos, design) are the exclusive property of UNION and protected by copyright. Any unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

10. Liability

Jewelry conformity: UNION undertakes to manufacture jewelry that complies with the order placed and the imprint received. The quality of the final result depends on the quality of the imprint provided by the Customer. UNION cannot be held responsible for a result deemed disappointing related to the quality of an imperfect imprint (partial, blurry, crushed imprint, etc.).

Prior verification: Before casting, UNION inspects each imprint. If it is unusable, UNION informs the Customer and offers a new kit (shipping fees at the Customer's expense).

Limitation of liability: UNION's liability is strictly limited to the price of the ordered jewelry. UNION cannot be held responsible for indirect, intangible, or consequential damages (loss of opportunity, moral damage, etc.).

Force majeure: UNION cannot be held responsible for the non-performance of its obligations in case of force majeure, as defined by French case law.

11. Personal data and privacy

UNION collects and processes the Customer's personal data (name, email, address, etc.) only within the framework of executing the order and the commercial relationship. Data processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Customer has, at any time, the right to access, rectify, erase, port, and oppose their data, by writing to uniongeneva@gmail.com.

12. Customer service and complaints

For any question, complaint, or request, the Customer may contact UNION at uniongeneva@gmail.com. UNION undertakes to reply within 48 business hours.

13. Consumer dispute mediation

In accordance with Articles L611-1 and following of the French Consumer Code, the Customer may use a consumer mediator free of charge in the event of an unresolved dispute.

The Customer may also use the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform available at: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

14. Applicable law and competent jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and after an attempt at amicable resolution, the French courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory legal provisions to the contrary.

For Customer consumers residing in another EU Member State, the consumer protection rules of their country of residence apply in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008.

15. Severability

If any of the provisions of these Terms are declared null or inapplicable, the other provisions shall remain fully valid and applicable.

16. Acceptance of Terms

By validating their order, the Customer acknowledges having read these Terms and accepts them without reservation.
