You are responsible for all content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so. Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. We do not regularly review User Submissions but reserve the right to remove or edit content you submit, including to enforce these Terms. For all User Submissions, you hereby grant the Company a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on a mobile device), reproduce, and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions. This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected. The licenses you grant to us (and by extension to our users) through these Terms are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide, unless the Services indicate otherwise.
8. Feedback & Public Posting; Unsolicited Ideas. Certain features of the Services currently or in the future may allow you to post reviews, listings, comments, photographs, and other content; send communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information (collectively, “Posted Content”). Additionally, the Services may contain discussion forums, bulletin boards, review services or other forums in which you or third parties may post reviews or other content, messages, materials, or other items on the Services ("Interactive Areas"). You may supply Posted Content to these Services so long as the Posted Content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights of others, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam.” You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of Posted Content. We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit any Posted Content for any or no reason but do not regularly review Posted Content. You are solely responsible for your use of Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk. No action should be taken based upon any of the information contained in the Interactive Areas. All statements, information and other content submitted by users are solely the opinions of users, and not of the Company.
If you do supply Posted Content, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant to us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, and fully sublicensable right to use, modify, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, transmit, display, and distribute such Posted Content throughout the world in any media and for any purpose whatsoever to the extent permitted by law. Also, you grant to us and our sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with the Posted Content if we choose. By supplying the Posted Content, you represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the Posted Content; (ii) the Posted Content is non-confidential; (iii) the Posted Content is accurate; (iv) use of the Posted Content does not violate any of the Terms and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and (v) you will indemnify the Company for all claims resulting from the Posted Content you supply.

We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. The Services may also contain links or connections to third party websites or services not owned or controlled by the Company and using the Services may require you to transact with third parties, such as for your internet connection or for transactions through the Services. We are not responsible for these third-party services or individuals that you may interact with through the Services. You are responsible for reviewing the terms of use of all third parties.
If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, we are under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users or third parties, you release the Company, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
10. Payments for Products and Services. When you make a purchase through our Services, you authorize us or our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for any such purchases (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) that may be accrued by or in connection with your purchase. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing a valid method of payment. All prices, fees and any applicable taxes and other charges are payable in your selected currency at checkout. When you initiate a purchase transaction via the Services, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as your name, billing address, and credit card information. You may also need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your transaction. If you are completing the purchase using a third-party payment processor, that processor’s terms and conditions apply to your payment transaction.
We use third-party payment processing services (currently, Shopify) to process any payments submitted for products and services through our Services. If you have questions or concerns about how those payments are processed you should review Shopify’s Terms of Service. We are not responsible for any payment information or processing of payments done through Shopify’s payment processing services. You are responsible for reviewing the terms of use of all third parties, including Shopify.
11. Correction of Site Errors. The information on the Site may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies. We reserve the right to update any information we see fit at any time without prior notice. Please note that such errors may relate to product information, pricing, and availability.

Unless stated to the contrary on the Website, we does not offer any warranties, refunds, or returns on the sale of any products or the Services. We do not sell outside of the United States and, therefore, we do not support warranty service outside of the United States. Additionally return, refund, and warranty information can be found on the Website and should be reviewed prior to making any purchases.
13. Warranty Disclaimer. Neither the Company nor its licensors or suppliers makes any representations or warranties concerning any content contained in or accessed through the Services, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Services. Use of the Services is at your own risk. THE SERVICES (INCLUDING ALL PRODUCTS) AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
14. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL THE COMPANY (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF DATA OR RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, (B) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES, OR (C) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (D) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

15. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, LITIGATION OR RESOLUTION. WE BOTH AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS. In addition, neither you nor the Company may participate in a class or representative action in court as a class member if any of the claims asserted in the litigation that arise out of or relate in any way to these Terms of Use and/or any Services. You and the Company both waive any right to participate in any class action involving disputes between us.
16. Handmade Items Disclaimer. When purchasing handmade items, you must keep in mind that the product(s) you receive might vary slightly from the product(s) picture because the products are individually handcrafted. It is impossible to create two identical pieces. There may be natural variations/minor distinctions that make your purchase special and truly one of a kind. With respect to items incorporating stones, gems, and metals, there may be minor fluctuations of up to 10% in carat weight of gold/metal or the stones featured in an item. Due to the nature of many of the gemstones used in each piece, variations in color, cut, size, and shape may/will differ from piece to piece and from what is pictured on the Website. Those variations make each piece unique. Actual colors can be slightly different than shown in picture. Please feel free to ask any questions before you purchase to ensure good experience on both sides.
17. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners and licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of content you submit, post, transmit, modify or otherwise make available through the Services, your use of the Services, your connection to the Services, your violation of the Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.
18. Assignment.

20. Jurisdiction and Venue of Disputes. Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Services or to products or services reviewed by us or otherwise sold or distributed through the Services shall be adjudicated exclusively in any state or federal court in California of our choosing, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
21. Miscellaneous. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and we agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and us with respect to the Services, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of the Company, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind the Company in any respect whatsoever.
