EXISTENCE OF GUARANTEE

SUAREZ offers its customers products and services of the highest quality.

The gold used to make the pieces is 750 thousandths sterling, the silver is 925 thousandths sterling and the platinum 950 thousandths sterling.

The Suárez family, consisting of GIA-certified gemmologists, buys diamonds directly from their place of origin. Suarez diamonds are shipped with their GIA certificate and comply with the requirements of the "Kimberley Process Certification Scheme" (certification scheme for the international trade in non-conflict diamonds).

Given the special characteristics of the products distributed by SUAREZ through the ONLINE BOUTIQUE, there are slight differences between each purchased product or service, mainly due to the uniqueness and exclusivity of each and every one of the materials and stones used for manufacturing, which is to a large extent also done by hand. Therefore, there are no two SUAREZ products that are exactly the same and, in any case, it is inevitable that the product delivered to the customer differs slightly from the one shown in the pictures provided during the shopping process in the ONLINE BOUTIQUE (even if it may have been the same). In no case shall these differences imply the delivery of products or services with a lower quality of materials than those expressly mentioned on the Web Portal. Furthermore, the customer is informed and aware that the size of the pictures shown on the Web Portal does not match the actual size of the SUAREZ products offered.

Therefore, the customer is informed of these circumstances and differences and expressly accepts them. They may not be alleged as a cause for termination of the Contract.

In any case and subject to the provisions set out at the beginning of the section, SUAREZ products purchased by the customer through the shopping procedure set out on the website have the legal guarantee for consumer goods, which refers to their conformity with their description on the website and with these Special Conditions.

SUAREZ shall be liable for any non-conformities which become apparent within two years of delivery. The consumer must inform the seller of the non-conformity within two months of becoming aware of it. Failure to meet this deadline will not result in the loss of the right to the respective remedy, however, the customer will be responsible for any damages or losses actually caused by the delay in notification. In any case, the guarantee relating to damages caused by inadequate use shall be excluded as well as, in general, any of those excluded by applicable European Union legislation.
