Terms of service
Overview
Underwoods Fine Jewelers operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services provided to you, the customer (the "Services"). The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Underwoods Fine Jewelers. Underwoods Fine Jewelers is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
The following terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.
Section 1 - Access and Account
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity associated with your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.
Section 2 - Our Products
We make every effort to accurately represent our products and services in our online store. However, colors and product appearance may vary from how they appear on your screen due to differences in devices, displays, settings, lighting, and photography.
Because gemstones and other natural materials are unique, individual pieces may also exhibit natural variations in color, pattern, inclusions, and other characteristics. These variations are part of the nature of the materials and may not be fully represented in photographs.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of products offered to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
Section 3 - Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Underwoods Fine Jewelers reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until Underwoods Fine Jewelers confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.
Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Underwoods Fine Jewelers may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept an order, or if we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy.
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
Section 4 - Prices and Billing
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be reflected in your order confirmation. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include applicable taxes or shipping charges.
We may offer promotions from time to time that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made through our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and payment information, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card or other payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use the payment method for the purchase; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your payment provider; and (iv) you will pay all charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including applicable shipping charges and taxes.
Section 5 - Shipping and Delivery
All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers or events outside our reasonable control.
All shipments are fully insured while in transit. Insurance coverage remains in effect until the package has been delivered and the required signature has been obtained. Risk of loss transfers to you upon confirmed delivery and signature.
All shipments are sent via FedEx. We currently ship within the United States only and are unable to deliver to P.O. Boxes. An adult signature is required upon delivery for all shipments and cannot be waived.
Additional information regarding shipping, local pickup, and return shipping is available in our Shipping & Delivery Policy.
