Writing Instruments Warranty

The following applies to writing instruments sold or presented for guarantee service in any country except the United States of America and Canada (for these countries, please refer to the Cartier Limited Warranty).

Cartier writing instruments are original Cartier creations, made and tested to meet the traditional quality standards of Cartier.

Each Cartier writing instrument carries an individual serial number which provides a record of both origin and authenticity.

Only Cartier Boutiques, as well as authorised Cartier dealers, which are the exclusive dealers of Cartier writing instruments, are authorised to provide the Cartier International Guarantee service, as defined hereafter, in accordance with Cartier's instructions.

Throughout the world, Cartier provides you and its authorised Cartier dealers with its International After-Sales-Service.

Cartier writing instruments are guaranteed for an unlimited period against any manufacturing defect according to the following conditions: any part found by our technical service to be defective as a result of a manufacturing defect will be replaced free of charge by Cartier. However, after the first 24 months from the date of purchase, the labour cost of any repair will be charged, whether or not the replacement parts are supplied under the terms of the guarantee.

Creations acquired from non-authorised dealers, or a website other than Cartier.com, are not guaranteed authentic creations by Cartier.

The Cartier International Guarantee does not cover damage resulting from, in particular:

• Accidents, mishandling or abusive use (knocks, dents, crushing, etc.)
• The use of a converter or refills other than those sold by Cartier
• Unauthorised alteration
• Manipulation or repair, as well as the consequences of the normal wear and ageing of the writing instrument.
• In order to benefit from this guarantee, you will be required to present your Cartier Guarantee Certificate, duly completed, dated, stamped and signed by an authorised Cartier dealer. Please ensure that you retain your certificate.

Caution: The guarantee will not be valid if refills other than those prescribed by Cartier have been used.

The following CARTIER International Limited Repair Warranty (Limited Repair Warranty) applies to CARTIER writing instruments serviced by a CARTIER Boutique, a CARTIER Authorized Retailer or a CARTIER After-Sales Service Center in the USA or Canada and presented for repair service in any country (Initial Repair).

Each intervention on your writing instrument is performed in compliance with the highest standards of the art and is guaranteed during twelve (12) months, from the date of repair stated on your repair documents (“Limited Repair Warranty Period”) against any defect on the intervention found by our technical service, subject to the exclusions mentioned hereunder. Although the Initial Repair itself will be subject to a service charge, under this Limited Repair Warranty, CARTIER will, free of charge and subject to shipping costs which are to be borne by you, repair or replace any defective spare parts associated with the Initial Repair free of charge during the Limited Repair Warranty Period. This is the sole and exclusive remedy under this Limited Repair Warranty.

Your CARTIER International Limited Repair Warranty is not a service contract and does not cover, notably:

• Defects and damages resulting from misuse or negligence, or from accident,
• Defects and damages caused by improper use (knocks, dents, crushing, etc.), alterations, tampering, dismantling or unauthorized modifications or repairs, as well as services, works and repairs performed by anyone other than a CARTIER Boutique, a CARTIER Authorized Retailer or a CARTIER Authorized After-Sales Service Center, or caused by the use of components and/or accessories other than those recommended by CARTIER, such as but not limited to converters or cartridge;
• Writing instruments where the serial number originally engraved is removed or not clearly legible;
• Routine maintenance and cleaning, as well as the consequences of the normal wear and tear and ageing of the writing instrument.

Please note also that the CARTIER International Repair Warranty is not applicable in the event necessary interventions recommended by CARTIER are not performed upon your specific request.

You may obtain coverage under this Limited Repair Warranty at any time during the Limited Repair Warranty Period by bringing or sending the writing instrument to your CARTIER Boutique, CARTIER Authorized Retailer or CARTIER After-Sales Service Center. In order to benefit from this Limited Repair Warranty, you are required to present the original Initial Repair invoice and/or Initial Repair documents that you received at the time the Initial Repair was completed. You are responsible for costs associated with transportation and delivery of your writing instrument to your CARTIER Boutique, CARTIER Authorized Retailer or CARTIER After-Sales Service Center, including but not limited to postage, insurance and packing materials. We recommend that any shipment to us include certified delivery and insurance. Upon expiration of the Limited Warranty Period, any service/repair will be subject to a service charge.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, this Limited Repair Warranty is a limited repair warranty and shall be the exclusive repair warranty in lieu of any other express or implied warranties. Neither this Limited Repair Warranty nor any other warranties arising from repair of, or service performed on, the product, or replacement parts, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, shall extend beyond the period of one (1) year from the date of repair stated on your original Initial Repair invoice and/or Initial Repair documents. Under this Limited Repair Warranty, during the Limited Repair Warranty Period, CARTER will repair or replace any defective replacement part associated with the Initial Repair free of charge subject to the right to charge for shipping costs. This is the sole and exclusive remedy. CARTIER shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. CARTIER does not authorize any distributor or seller of its products to make any warranties beyond this Limited Repair Warranty, or to otherwise assume for CARTIER any obligations or liability in connection with the repair of or service performed on its products. Some states, provinces or territories do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

The present Limited Repair Warranty is granted by CARTIER and is in addition to any other legal rights you could have based on the relevant national legislation; this Limited Repair Warranty does not interfere with such rights.

This Limited Repair Warranty is totally independent of the CARTIER International Warranty or Limited Warranty given with your purchase.

Please note that the present Limited Repair Warranty, the intervention invoice and/or repair documents shall not be construed as a certificate of authenticity.

The present Cartier Limited Warranty applies to writing instruments sold or presented for warranty service in the United States of America and Canada only.

Your Cartier writing instrument is warranted against any manufacturing defect for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of purchase (the “Guarantee Period”) subject to the following conditions. If your writing instrument is returned during the Guarantee Period, any component found by our technical services to be defective as a result of a manufacturing defect will be, at Cartier’s sole discretion, repaired or replaced free of charge. Upon expiration of the Guarantee Period, any services or repairs will be subject to a service charge.

Your Cartier Limited Warranty does not cover, notably:

• Defects and damages resulting from misuse or negligence, or from accident,
• Defects and damages caused by improper use (knocks, dents, crushing, etc.), alterations, tampering, dismantling or unauthorized modifications or repairs, as well as services, works and repairs performed by anyone other than a Cartier Boutique, a Cartier Authorized Retailer or a Cartier Authorized After-Sales Service Center, or caused by the use of components and/or accessories other than those recommended by Cartier, such as converters or refills;
• Writing instruments where the serial number originally imprinted is removed or not clearly legible;
• Routine maintenance and cleaning, as well as the consequences of the normal wear and tear and ageing of the writing instrument;

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS CARTIER LIMITED WARRANTY IS A LIMITED WARRANTY AND SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. NEITHER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY NOR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL EXTEND BEYOND THE PERIOD OF TWENTY FOUR MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. FOR A PERIOD OF TWENTY FOUR MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, CARTIER WILL, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY COMPONENT FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE UNDER THIS CARTIER LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. CARTIER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, BY VIRTUE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE YOUR WRITING INSTRUMENT, OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR WRITING INSTRUMENT.

Cartier does not authorize any Cartier Boutique, Cartier Authorized Retailer or any other third party to make any warranties beyond this Limited Warranty, or to otherwise assume for Cartier any obligations or liability in connection with the sale of its products. Some states, provinces or territories do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you
