Please review the following terms carefully. If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use this website.

The term "you" refers to the user or viewer of our Web Site.

Acceptance of Agreement

By using our site, Palmjewellery.com, (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Agreement"). This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between us and you, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties and understandings with respect to the Site, content, products or services provided by or through the Site, and the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended at any time by us from time to time without specific notice to you. The latest Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review this Agreement prior to using the Site and making a purchase from the company.

Natural Diamonds

Palm Jewellery does not sell any enhanced or treated diamonds. All diamonds sold online are natural diamonds that have not gone through any enhancements.

Pricing

All prices at checkout are in US dollars. We do not negotiate prices on our products and all our prices are final. We make significant efforts to assure the pricing on our website is accurate at the time of purchase. However, we do reserve the right to cancel any and all sales when an inaccurate or erroneous price is displayed. We cannot honor inaccurate or erroneous pricing. If we cancel a sale after checkout, we will refund the fee listed on the check-out receipt in the same manner as payment was made. For example, Visa payment will be credited to the same Visa card only. Our prices are also subject to change without notice. If a sale is cancelled, the refund price represents the sole and exclusive damages available to you.

Product Availability

All products displayed are typically in stock and available. There are times however when an inventory error occurs and an item is not available. Palm Jewellery reserves the right to cancel an order or substitute another item of like appearance and value for the original item purchased.

Photography

Item may appear larger or smaller than actual size due to photography methods or screen defaults. Images might also appear larger than actual size in order to show detail, or smaller than actual size in order to show an entire item. It is your responsibility to review the listed size and weight of each stone and not rely on photographs when determining your purchase.

Refund and Return Policy

Our Return Policy, as it may change from time to time, is a part of this Agreement and reflected fully on our website under "30 Day Returns". All returns must be accompanied by the original documents sent to the customer. Any return of a diamond made without the original diamond grading report will be subject to a $250 replacement fee. (Please note, all insurance replacements are not covered through our Return policy) While Palm Jewellery is happy to try and accommodate rush orders, a 10% restocking fee will be charged should the order be returned for any reason. The fee can be used as a credit towards any exchange or for a future order and never expires.

Payments

You represent and warrant that if you are purchasing something from us or from Merchants that (i) any credit information you supply is true and complete, (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iii) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes and shipping.

Lifetime Warranty

Our lifetime warranty program protects you against any manufacturing defects on our products. Any product sold by Palm Jewellery can be sent back to us in the event that a defect is found. If the defect is determined to have occurred during the manufacturing process, we'll replace or repair the item at no cost to you. If Palm Jewellery determines that the damage was due to normal wear-and-tear, we will repair the product at cost, including the cost of shipping the repaired item back to you. It is up to the sole discretion of Palm Jewellery to determine if a defect is due to a manufacturing fault. The customer is responsible for any shipping costs incurred when sending products to us for inspection.

Diamond Upgrades

Our diamond upgrades program applies only to undamaged diamonds purchased from Palm Jewellery. It is up to the sole discretion of Palm Jewellery to determine if a diamond is undamaged and suitable for upgrade. The price of the original diamond must be less than or equal to $7,500 at the time that it was purchased, and the price of the new diamond must be at least twice the value of the original diamond purchased. All diamonds returned for an upgrade must be accompanied by the original diamond grading report or certificate. A 15% restocking fee will be applied to the returned diamond at the time of upgrade and coupon codes or discounts are not valid for upgrades.

Custom Jewelry

Custom Jewelry are designs for Jewelry, belonging to and submitted by customers (“Custom Design”). As such you hereby agree and certify that the Custom Design (i) is your designs and do not belong to anybody else, and (ii) are not subject to any protectable intellectual property rights (trademark, copyright, etc.) of others. Once a customer submits payment to initiate a custom design draft, the design charge is not refundable. Custom jewelry items will not be cast and manufactured until the customer approves the drawings in writing via certified mail or email. Once the customer approves the drawings, the custom item is not eligible for return or replacement. Due to the intricate and labor-intensive nature of many custom jewelry items, any delivery estimate provided by a Palm Jewellery, whether oral or written delivered by any medium, is merely an approximate date, and is not a guaranteed date for delivery. Actual delivery dates may vary, up to 10 business days from the delivery estimate date. Custom jewelry is covered by our lifetime warranty and care and maintenance programs. Palm Jewellery owns all designs, renderings, drawings and models submitted to or created by our employees and/or our designers. By submitting and casting your Custom Design, you hereby grant Palm Jewellery an irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to use, copy, modify, and display any portion of the Custom Design incorporated into any Custom jewelry developed and delivered by you. We reserve the right to market, publicize and share any and all designs and images of the Custom Design, which website display may differ from the pictured stock images on the site. You hereby agree that if Palm Jewellery gets charged or accused of violating somebody else’s protected intellectual property as a result of Palm Jewellery’s production of the Custom Design, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Palm Jewellery and its owners and employees from any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of any investigation or action related thereto) (“Losses”) suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (i) as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s failure to disclose the source of any protected Custom Design; or (ii) from the breach or incorrectness of any representation about the source of the Custom Design made by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party must be promptly notified in writing of any Claim within such time as is reasonably necessary to allow the Indemnifying Party to respond to the claim prior to any legally-required deadline (and in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after notice of such claim) for which indemnification is sought. The Indemnified Parties shall have sole control over the defence and settlement of any claim for which indemnification is sought and both Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and their representatives in the investigation and defence of the Claims.
