Specific Clauses.

Delivery Errors, Delays, Force Majeure.

9.0 We cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred due to a delayed delivery, all of our delivery dates are approximations, and due to the handmade nature of our items there are instances when items will take longer. We endeavour to give accurate delivery tine information, however cannot be held liable in the event of this information being invalid.

9.1 In the event that a delivery address has been provided incorrectly, or that a product is delivered to an incorrect address, we cannot be held liable for any costs incurred directly or indirectly due to this.

9.2 Force Majeure- E & R Jewellery LTD(Design Centre), Cannot be held liable for any costs incurred due to failure to deliver any part of the contract if this failure is due to an Act Of God, I.E. Hurricanes, Adverse Weather Conditions, Impassable Snow Fall, Volcanic Eruption, Nor shall we be liable in the event of, (including but not limited to) Terror Attacks, Rioting, Strike action, War, Power Failure, Customs intervention.

Damage to items.

9.3 Diamonds falling out/Becoming loose - Our Diamonds are set by hand, they are inspected and will not become loose in their settings. A stone will only become loose as a result of impact, or damage.

9.3.2 Rhodium - All of our white gold items are Rhodium plated, this is a standard industry practice. Rhodium will wear over time, and require re-application. The length of time this will take varies depending upon the level of acidity in skin, and the possible contact with substances such as chlorine. The company cannot be held responsible for the length of time the rhodium plating will last, due to the large amount of variable contributing factors. This does not constitute a manufacturing fault, Rhodium is applied afterwards to improve the colour of the item, and holds no structural benefit.

9.3.3 Surface scratching will occur if jewellery is worn daily, to fully protect your jewellery, you should have it serviced regularly, whereby the surface scratches can be removed. Gold, Platinum and other precious metals are extremely malleable, this is why they are used for jewellery making, They are susceptible to impact damage, and to misshaping under pressure. Jewellery should be removed before undertaking any physical activity that may cause impact/friction or pressure to be applied to the band.

Products.

9.4 We take time to ensure that our website prices, images and descriptions are correct, however human error can occur, and as such we cannot be held liable for such mistakes, or for any costs incurred in relation to this failure to deliver.

9.5 All Product images are for illustration purposes only, in certain circumstances the product may differ slightly due to the handmade nature of our items. Unless specifically stated in title or description, each Catalogue item is offered for sale individually, all items are sold separately.

9.6 Any item sold as "stock" through our website is a physical item, either in stock, or displayed for sale in a retail store, as such there are instances when these items are purchased in store, and also purchased online. In this event, the in store purchase will take precedent. We cannot be held liable for any errors that may occur with the removal of stock items, or for costs incurred by parties as a result of this. We will always endeavour to come to a reasonable solution for both parties.
