ARTICLE 1: PRODUCTS
We draw the attention of the Buyer to the fact that the photographs illustrating our products may be slightly different from reality due to the settings of the Buyer’s screen and the lighting during the shooting.
In addition, as these are artisanal creations, the articles may have irregularities in the finish, differences in format and / or stone tones, inherent in this type of manufacture, which cannot be considered as defects. Dorothée Sausset cannot be held responsible, and the validity of the order cannot be affected.

Upon receipt of the product in after-sales service, and if it is repairable or exchangeable, Dorothée Sausset will return the product at its own expense.
