Pour les ventes hors Union Européenne (Monde entier) : Le prix sera facturé hors taxes sur la facture finale (selon la configuration du site) ou TTC selon le statut fiscal du client. ⚠️ Important – Droits de douane : Pour toute livraison hors de l’Union Européenne (et vers les DOM-TOM), des droits de douane, taxes locales ou droits d’importation sont susceptibles d’être exigibles. Ces droits ne relèvent pas du ressort du Vendeur. Ils sont à la charge exclusive du Client et relèvent de sa responsabilité (déclarations, paiement aux autorités compétentes).

Normal wear and tear of the knife (sharpening, scratches from use).
Damage resulting from abnormal use (prying, using as a screwdriver, dishwasher use, knife throwing).
Oxidation of carbon steels (non-stainless) which requires specific maintenance by the Customer.
The products offered comply with current French legislation. The Seller shall not be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country where the product is delivered (e.g., prohibition of certain types of blade locking mechanisms). It is the Customer's responsibility to check the import possibilities with local authorities.
The Seller shall not be held liable for damages resulting from misuse of the purchased product (cuts, injuries). Knives are sharp tools that must be handled with care.
These GTC are subject to French Law.
In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution shall be sought as a priority.
Failing an amicable agreement, any dispute shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts within the jurisdiction of Davless créations' registered office (Commercial Court of Romans), unless public policy provisions dictate otherwise.
