While great care and precision are taken in uploading information, product descriptions, and data on the website and regularly updating them, the Company cannot be held liable for any non-material errors that may occur.
Similarly, although photographs and other reproductions of the products accurately represent them on the website—within the limits of technology and in compliance with the best Internet standards—these images are for indicative purposes only and are not contractually binding.

If, despite the Company’s vigilance, the ordered items are no longer available, the Company will inform the customer by any means (telephone call or email) as soon as possible and will refund the amount paid via the payment method used at the time of order registration, no later than 15 days. The Company shall not be held responsible for stock shortages or unavailability of items.

The act of ordering on the website www.lip.fr implies full and unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which the Customer expressly acknowledges, renouncing, in particular, any contradictory documents that would be unenforceable against the Seller.
FIRST STEP: SELECTION OF ITEMS BY THE CUSTOMER
On the website, the customer selects, enters, and confirms the identification and quantity of the items they wish to order (availability to be confirmed by the Company); these items are added to the "CART."
SECOND STEP: VERIFICATION OF SELECTED ITEMS
Before finalizing their order and confirming acceptance of this order, the customer has the opportunity to review the details of their order and the total price and to freely modify their order, including deleting an initially selected item, adding an item, or adjusting the quantities ordered within the "CART."
Within the "CART," the price of the items, as defined in Article 6 below, is displayed automatically.
THIRD STEP: IDENTIFICATION, CONFIRMATION OF SELECTED ITEMS, AND ORDER PLACEMENT
Once the customer has completed their selection and wishes to validate the composition of the "Order Summary," they must then identify themselves:
- If the customer already has an account with the Company, they should log in using their email address (username) and password.
- If the customer does not have an account with the Company, they must create one by filling out the registration form in the "Create Your Account" section and the "Login" section of the website.
The customer must also validate:
- The delivery address for the order. It is specified that the delivery address may correspond to the address of the company where the customer conducts their professional activities, provided that it is located in mainland France, Corsica, or Monaco.
The customer will be delivered by Chronopost via express delivery only. They will receive an email upon shipment with a tracking link to monitor their package. Delivery is estimated for the next day before 1 PM for orders placed before 11 AM. For orders placed after 11 AM, delivery is estimated within 48 hours after confirmation by SMB (non-contractual indicative timeframe). Business days apply.
The customer will also receive an SMS on the delivery day with a time slot and the option to modify delivery conditions in progress.
Right of Withdrawal
Refer to Article 11 "Right of Withdrawal and Return of Items" of SMB's Terms and Conditions.
FIFTH STEP: PAYMENT
ARTICLE 5: PROOF OF ORDER
Generally, it is expressly agreed between the Company and the customer that emails will serve as proof between the parties, as well as the automatic recording systems used by the Customer Service or on the website, particularly regarding the nature and date of the order.
Order records are archived on a reliable and durable medium to ensure they correspond to a faithful and enduring copy, in accordance with Article 1348 of the French Civil Code. Additionally, the Company retains order-related documents for a period of 10 years and makes them available to the customer upon request sent to:
or
SMB Service LIP.fr
Rue des Maurapans Zac de Valentin
25870 Châtillon-le-Duc
However, it is recommended that the customer also retains a copy (in electronic and/or paper format) of the elements related to their order (for example, the email sent by the Company).
ARTICLE 6: PRICES
The prices displayed on the website are indicated in Euros and include all taxes (VAT included). The prices charged are those in effect at the date of order validation.

ARTICLE 7: PAYMENT TERMS
The customer’s payment for purchases is made by credit card or Apple Pay via Monetico Payment. The accepted credit cards are those branded with “CB,” including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
In this context, the customer agrees to make the payment using a credit card that they personally hold and which bears their name.
When paying online on the website, the customer accesses a secure server using the 3D Secure protocol. By providing their credit card number, the card’s expiration date, and the visual cryptogram numbers on the back of the card, the customer agrees in advance and without conditions for the Company to carry out the secure transaction. The customer thus authorizes their bank in advance to debit their account based on the records or statements provided by the Company, even in the absence of signed invoices from the cardholder.
The authorization to debit the customer’s account is always given for the amount of the purchased item(s) as invoiced by the Company.
The customer’s credit card is debited within a maximum of seven (7) days after the payment is validated by the customer on the website (i.e., following the click on the “VALIDATE” button on the bank details page or by phone) and after verifying that the order satisfies the terms and conditions of sale and the availability of the item(s).
If, for any reason (e.g., opposition, refusal from the issuing center…), the debit of the amounts due by the customer proves impossible, the order will not be processed by the Company.

Failure to follow this procedure or accepting the order as is excludes any recourse against Lip.
The Seller commits to making their best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the client within the specified timeframes. These timeframes are provided for indicative purposes.

ARTICLE 13: WARRANTY
The commercial warranty offered by the seller is 2 years from the date of purchase for LIP watches purchased from the Lip.fr website.
We only accept warranty claims for watches purchased on the website www.lip.fr. For other cases, please contact the nearest authorized dealer or consult the FAQ section on “Warranty.”
You can find a list of authorized LIP dealers at the following link: LIP Authorized Dealers
To benefit from the warranty, the client must log into their customer account, access their watch order, submit a request for warranty service, and arrange the return with SMB. The cost is covered by the Company, and the return label will be sent to the client by email, along with a return label whose cost is borne by SMB. The return of watches under warranty must be carried out according to the instructions provided by the Company.
The warranty card received with the watch or a copy of the purchase invoice from the website must be included with the return. Upon receipt of the watch under warranty and after verification by our workshop, we will repair or exchange it.
This warranty provides 2 years of free repair for any issue due to a manufacturing defect. However, the warranty does not cover:
- The glass, battery, and strap
- Defects resulting from improper use or accidents
- Normal wear and tear of the watch
- Damage caused by interventions outside our workshops
- Damage caused by natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods
If the watch has the mention “WATER RESISTANT” on the back of its case, this warranty covers damage caused by water infiltration. However, please check the degree of water resistance with the chart below.
If your watch does not indicate water resistance, keep it away from water. It is not water-resistant, and contact with water may damage the watch and its mechanism.
Water Resistance Levels:
- Non-Water Resistant: If the back of the case states “Non-Water Resistant” or if there is no indication, the watch is designed to withstand a pressure of 1 bar/1ATM. It can only resist light rain and dust. It should not come into contact with water, such as handwashing, dishwashing, swimming, bathing, or showering. It must not be submerged or exposed to water jets.
- Water Resistance 30m: If the back of the case reads “WATER RESISTANT 30M,” the watch is designed to withstand pressure up to 3 bar/ATM, which does not equate to an actual depth of 30 meters underwater. It can handle accidental contact with water, such as splashes, rain, sweat, or handwashing. It is not suitable for dishwashing, swimming, bathing, or showering. It should not be submerged.
- Water Resistance 50m: If the back of the case reads “WATER RESISTANT 50M,” the watch is designed to withstand pressure up to 5 bar/ATM, which does not equate to an actual depth of 50 meters underwater. It can handle accidental contact with water, such as splashes, rain, sweat, or handwashing. It is suitable for dishwashing, brief immersion in shallow water such as bathwater. However, direct water jets from a shower or faucet may exceed 5 bar pressure and could damage the watch.
- Water Resistance 100m: If the back of the case reads “WATER RESISTANT 100M,” the watch is designed to withstand pressure up to 10 bar/ATM, which does not equate to an actual depth of 100 meters underwater. It is suitable for bathing, showering (but avoid prolonged exposure as hot water can degrade the watch’s water resistance over time), swimming, and diving. It is not recommended for deep-sea diving. For deep-sea diving, we recommend using a professional LIP diving watch with a water resistance of 200 meters.
- Water Resistance 200m: If the back of the case reads “WATER RESISTANT 200M,” the watch is designed to withstand pressure up to 20 bar/ATM, which does not equate to an actual depth of 200 meters underwater. It is suitable for shallow water diving as well as deep-sea diving with scuba gear.
Absolute water resistance cannot be guaranteed permanently. It can be affected by aging seals or accidental shocks to the watch. We recommend having the water resistance checked annually by LIP’s customer service or an authorized LIP dealer.
If, during the warranty period, the item has been handled and damaged by someone other than an official LIP dealer, the warranty will not apply.
Regardless of the warranty provided, the Company remains liable for defects in conformity of the goods to the contract and hidden defects under the conditions outlined in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.
Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is liable for hidden defects of the item sold that render it unfit for the intended use or that diminish its use so much that the buyer would not have purchased it or would have paid a lower price if they had known about these defects.
Article 1648 of the Civil Code: The action resulting from hidden defects must be initiated by the buyer within two years from the discovery of the defect.
Article L211-4 of the Consumer Code: The seller is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract and is responsible for defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery.
Article L211-5 of the Consumer Code: To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must:
- Be fit for the usual purpose expected of a similar item, and, if applicable:
- Match the description given by the seller and have the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- Present the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer, or their representative, notably in advertising or labeling;
- Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement of the parties or be fit for any special use sought by the buyer, disclosed to the seller and accepted by the latter.
Article L211-12 of the Consumer Code: The action resulting from a lack of conformity is barred after two years from the delivery of the goods.
If the repair is not covered under the warranty, the customer must log in to their customer account and access their watch order from Lip.fr to request a return for out-of-warranty service, complete the return form, and arrange the return with SMB. Returns for out-of-warranty watches must be made according to the instructions provided by the Company. Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.
Once the watch is received by the Company, they will provide a quote before any intervention. If the quote is declined, the product will be returned to the customer, with return shipping costs borne by the customer. The return will be sent via Colissimo with a signature required. If the customer does not wish to have their watch returned, SMB will arrange for its disposal in accordance with applicable laws. If the quote is accepted, after repair or replacement, the watch will be sent back via Colissimo with a signature required.

ARTICLE 15: VALIDITY OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

The Company will inform the customer of such fortuitous events or force majeure within seven days of their occurrence. If this suspension of the Company’s obligations continues for more than fifteen days, the customer will have the option to cancel the ongoing order, and the Company will then process a refund to the customer’s bank account or Apple Pay account as soon as possible.
The Company’s decision not to enforce any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any given time cannot be interpreted as a waiver of its right to invoke the non-performance of those provisions, whether total or partial, at a later date.
