Hermès Products are exclusively intended to be sold to end consumers for their personal use, with the exclusion of all resellers or intermediaries acting on behalf of resellers.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale therefore do not apply to special orders. For any special orders, please contact our Customer service.
4.1 Services related to pre-orders
Pre-orders allow customers to reserve certain Products advertised on the Website before their release date, including the Apple Watch (hereinafter "pre-orders" or "pre-ordered Product").
4.2 Availability of Products
Product offers are valid while stocks last. At the time of validation of the order, there may be a difference between the stock available electronically and the existing physical stock (for example in the case of simultaneous orders for the same product by several customers). The sale is therefore conditional on the availability of the Products in stock.
In addition, Hermès reserves ownership of the Products until receipt of the Products in accordance with the provisions of article 7 below.
The availability date of the pre-ordered Product will be explicitly indicated on the Product form. If the availability date changes, you will be notified immediately by email and/or on your client account.
If a Product is unavailable after ordering, we will inform you of such unavailability by email or by phone as soon as possible. You will then be presented with the choice to order an alternative Product from the Website or to cancel your order.
We shall not be held liable if Products are out of stock or unavailable.
We reserve the right to change the Products offered on the Website and/or by phone at any time and without any prior notice. In order to improve our quality service and ensure greater availability of our Products for all customers, we reserve the right to limit the number of Products which can be purchased per customer, in accordance with relevant applicable provisions and, in particular, with Article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code.

Products bearing a tag (the “Hermès Sellier NFC” tag) must be returned with the tag intact and without any alteration or damage. If the tag is missing or has been tampered with, no return or refund will be issued.
Returning a product as part of an exchange is free of charge.

Log in to your customer account and click on "Return or exchange items” in the “Your orders” section.

- choose the Product(s) you wish to return as well as the reason for the return;
- choose the shipment method: drop off at the carrying firm’s collection point (the Post Office for orders delivered to France and Principality of Monaco) or package pick-up at home with an appointment service;
- download and print off your prepaid return label. This step is only required if the return is not handled by UPS®.
Please refer to article “11.1.e) (i) Returns conditions applicable to perfume, makeup and beauty Products” to view the Products that are not eligible for a prepaid return label service.
If you are returning an order so as to receive a refund and you initially chose a paid delivery, your refund will not include these shipping costs.
If you are returning an order as part of an exchange, express delivery (paid option) for the order will be free.
If you are unable or do not wish to use the prepaid return label service, please contact our Customer Service department, who will record your return. You can then return your product to the address provided to you by our Customer Service within a maximum of thirty (30) days following the registration of the return.
In this case, we strongly advise you to opt for the insurance proposed by your carrying firm. You shall be solely liable for the return of the Products and HERMÈS SELLIER shall under no circumstances be held liable for any loss, damage, delivery to the wrong address or late delivery of a Product that is not returned using the prepaid return label service offered by HERMÈS SELLIER.
If you cannot or do not wish to use the prepaid return label service, we agree to reimburse you for the cost of a standard shipping service with tracking. To benefit from this reimbursement, please contact our Customer Relations Department to make us aware of this fact and to assist you with the process.
Under no circumstances will it be possible to grant you store credit to use on the Hermes.com website nor send you store credit to use in one of our boutiques.
Products bought in Hermes stores cannot be exchanged nor returned via the Website.

11.1.b) Exchange
When requesting an exchange, please indicate in the allocated field the Product(s) you wish to receive in exchange for your order.

- Legal guarantee of conformity:
HERMÈS SELLIER will deliver a Product to you that is consistent with the sales contract and free from any defects upon delivery of said Product, in that the Product will be fit for the use normally expected of a similar product and will present the characteristics outlined at the time of sale. HERMÈS SELLIER is also accountable for any defects resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation when this was assigned to it by the contract or was carried out under its responsibility. This guarantee only comes into effect on the condition that you make the request within a period of two years of delivery of the goods. Any defects which appear within six (6) months (period legally increased to twenty-four (24) months from 18 March 2016) of delivery are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.You can choose between the repair and replacement of the Product unless one of these options leads to a manifestly disproportionate cost for HERMÈS SELLIER. If it is not possible to repair or replace the Product, you can be refunded for the price paid and return the Product, or keep the Product and receive a refund for part of the cost, unless the defect is minor. The return, replacement or refund of the Product will be at no cost to you and does not preclude the possible allocation of damages in the event you are entitled to these. The legal guarantee of conformity applies irrespective of the commercial warranty specified in Article 12.2 below. - Warrantee against latent defects:
The Product provided by HERMÈS SELLIER will be free of any latent defects that may render it unfit for its intended use, or diminish this use to the extent that you would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price if you had known. This warranty will only apply if you make the request within two (2) years of discovering the defect.
In the event of a latent defect, you can choose to return the Product and receive a refund for the price and costs arising from the purchase, or keep the Product and receive a refund for part of the price. In all cases, it is your responsibility to prove that you fulfil the warranty conditions.
In the event of defects and latent defects, Products should be returned HERMÈS SELLIER by contacting our Customer Service (see section “3. Ordering Methods”).
