SECTION 8 — WORLDWIDE COMMERCIAL GUARANTEE & LEGAL WARRANTIES (FRANCE/EU)
Worldwide commercial guarantee (all countries): Opaze voluntarily offers a 2-year commercial guarantee on all its products, applicable to all customers regardless of country of residence. This guarantee covers manufacturing and material defects under normal conditions of use. It does not cover damage resulting from normal wear, misuse, accident, or modification of the product. To make a claim under this guarantee, contact us at hello@opaze-studio.com with your order number and a description of the defect.
Additional legal warranties (France/EU consumers): In addition to the commercial guarantee above, consumers residing in France and the EU benefit from the following statutory warranties, which apply independently and cannot be limited by the commercial guarantee:
- Guarantee of conformity (Articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code): 2 years from delivery. During the first 24 months, the presumption of pre-existing defect applies. The consumer may choose between repair, replacement, or refund.
- Guarantee against hidden defects (Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code): In the event of a hidden defect rendering the product unfit for its intended use, you may choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction in price.
SECTION 9 — UK CONSUMER RIGHTS
If you are a consumer residing in the United Kingdom, the following applies in addition to the general terms above.
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 calendar days of receiving your goods, without giving any reason. To exercise this right, please contact us at hello@opaze-studio.com.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If your product is faulty or not as described, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund.
You also benefit from Opaze's voluntary 2-year commercial guarantee described in Section 8. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a UK consumer.
SECTION 10 — US CONSUMERS — WARRANTY & GUARANTEE
US consumers are not covered by EU statutory guarantee requirements. However, Opaze voluntarily extends its 2-year commercial guarantee (described in Section 8) to all customers worldwide, including US consumers. This is a voluntary commercial commitment by Opaze, not a statutory obligation.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE VOLUNTARY 2-YEAR COMMERCIAL GUARANTEE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 8, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS." ARCANE VENTURES DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some US states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties, so the above may not apply to you in full. California residents: please refer to our Privacy Policy for your CCPA rights.
SECTION 11 — US CONSUMERS — ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
For consumers residing in the United States, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the purchase of products from opaze-studio.com shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.
- Arbitration shall be conducted remotely or, at your election, in the county of your residence.
- Class Action Waiver: YOU AND ARCANE VENTURES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
- Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies.
Right to Opt Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by notifying us in writing at hello@opaze-studio.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.
This clause does not apply to claims for injunctive relief related to intellectual property rights.
SECTION 12 — OTHER COUNTRIES
Regardless of the provisions of these Terms, the mandatory consumer rights provided by applicable local law always take precedence over these Terms.
Canada (Quebec): Residents of Quebec benefit from the protections provided by the Consumer Protection Act (R.S.Q., c. P-40.1), which prevail over any contrary provisions in these Terms.
Australia: Australian consumers have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights thereunder.
General: If you reside in a country not specifically addressed above, your local mandatory consumer protection laws apply to the extent they are more favourable to you than these Terms.
SECTION 13 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ARCANE VENTURES shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use our products or services. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by applicable law, including for EU consumers benefiting from mandatory statutory protections.
