Terms and conditions of
Sale.
General.
-
Unfortunately I am
frequently targeted by fraud
attempts so I have to reserve the
right to refuse and cancel any bid,
payment or payment method from any
user at any time for any reason, up
to and including rejecting a
payment. (Though obviously I'm not
going to do that if I can possibly
avoid it!). So
the contract of sale only becomes
binding between us when I have
acknowledged and accepted your
payment for the goods.
-
Payment. Using Paypal is much
preferred as it the simplest method
for all parties, and it is the only
method of payment I will accept from
outside the UK. I will also happily
accept Bank Transfer, Building
society cheques and so on of course
but they may cause some delay, and
Echeques and personal cheques etc.
can cause a considerable delay I'm afraid :-(
Payment is due within 7 days of the
end of an auction. If no payment is
received by the end of seven days
(and no other arrangements have been
agreed at my discretion) I will
assume the user has defaulted and I
will relist or otherwise resell the
item
-
I may need additional proof of
address and/or identity for some
payment methods.
-
Auctions.
Winning bidders of Auctions need to
contact me within 3 days of the end
of the item listing e.g. by
completing eBays 'checkout', email
etc. as if no contact is made I will
assume the user is going to default
and I will relist or otherwise
resell the item.
-
International users please note I
will only ship to confirmed Paypal
addresses and I do not accept any
other form of International payment.
-
International buyers
please ask about
shipping costs before
buying or bidding, and where
International insurance is not
available the item will only be sent
at the buyers sole risk!
-
I cannot accept Escrow under any
circumstances due to the very high
number of fraudulent sites :-(
-
Shipping. Unless otherwise stated in the item
listing, insured P+P via Special
Delivery is FREE for all rings in
the UK.
-
I will only ever dispatch any item
after I have received cleared funds,
so again Echeques, personal cheques etc.
will cause a delay I'm afraid.
-
I will not ship to Indonesia,
Singapore, Nigeria etc under any circumstances.
-
I will only send items to the users
registered Paypal address.

Refunds & Returns.
-
General.
Within the UK you have the
right to return goods sold to you
for a refund under the The Consumer
Contracts (Information, Cancellation
and Additional Charges) Regulations
2013*, for any reason
whatsoever, for any item sold to you
via eBay or my website.
-
To exercise your right of return and
receive a 100% refund you must:-
-
Notify me by
email
or in writing within 7 days of
receipt of the item of your intent
to return an item and cancel the
contract of sale.
-
The item must be returned to me at
your expense as soon as practically
possible and in any case within 14
days.
-
The
item must be returned to me in
exactly the same condition as it was
sent out (including any tags,
certificates, boxes etc.). NB You
are responsible for the item until
it is returned to me so I strongly
suggest you use an insured postal
method e.g. Special Delivery from
the Royal Mail.
-
I will
refund the original cost price and
the original postage to you.
-
*Bespoke,
altered or resized items.
Any item that is made, resized or
otherwise altered to your individual
requirements prior to dispatch is
specifically excepted from The
Consumer Contracts Regulations
2013. See Part 3. Paragraph 28 (1)
(b) - "the supply of goods that are
made to the consumer’s
specifications or are clearly
personalised"
So Resized or Custom made items for
example can only be returned under
the Sale of Goods act, e.g. for
metal not of the fineness described,
Gemstone not of the type or size
specified. You do not have a
right of return for such items under
the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
-
International items
are eligible for return for refund
less all shipping
costs and unrecoverable costs (eg
eBay listing fees), subject to the
conditions given above. Unless of
course the item is significantly not
as described in which case I will
refund in full.
-
-
Business to Business sales
are not eligible for return or
refund unless significantly not as
described.
At my sole discretion I may offer a buy
back/part exchange option upon request,
for an upgrade in size or quality for
example. This will usually be the scrap
value of the item only unless a part
exchange or upgrade is being requested.
This is in addition to and not part of
your statutory rights.
*Diamond Grading.
Unless the item listing specifies that
the Diamond has been certified by a
Gemmological laboratory, any grades
given are my opinion only, based on the
EGL-USA's grading system. I do my honest
best but I am not a qualified
gemmologist so any grades given are only
a guide.
I do not know of any gemmological grading lab. in
the world that will guarantee their Diamond
grading as some aspects are more art
than science and so I certainly can't.
Also as recent events have proved to my
cost, Diamond treatments (also known as
Clarity Enhancement) can be virtually
impossible to detect without specialist
equipment (which I don't have) so,
although I promise I will never
knowingly sell a treated stone as being
untreated, I cannot state with absolute
certainty that any stone I'm selling has
not been so treated. All I can say is I
haven't been able to detect it.
If
you have any questions please
Email
me and I will do my best to answer any
queries.
