We will confirm receipt of this by contacting you in writing. If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail, by hand, or by pre-paid post to the address you initially provide to us.
Our acceptance of your order will take place when we write to you to accept it or we tell you that we are able to provide you with the product or the services you require, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us on these Terms.
We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
We will meet with you to discuss your initial requirement for our services. Following that meeting we will provide you with a design specification(Specification)setting out your requirements and specification for the design services you require and a description of the product to be supplied (Designed Product), any works to be done, materials required, our price and such other information as we deem necessary.
We will discuss and agree the Design Specification with you and once it has been agreed we will require you to sign the Design Specification to confirm your acceptance of its contents.
It is important that you consider the contents of the Design Specification carefully as the Designed Product will be supplied in accordance with the Design Specification. You are responsible for notifying us if you think there is a mistake or require any changes to it. We will confirm any changes in writing to avoid any confusion between us.
Please note any quotation contained in the Design Specification remains valid for 30 days only. Should the Design Specification not be approved within such time period we reserve the right to review the pricing structure contained in the Design Specification to take account of any increase in labour and materials costs.
We will provide you with CAD images of your Designed Product for approval before we proceed to manufacture. We will not proceed with manufacture until such time as your approval of the CAD images has been obtained.
You will be given the opportunity to inspect the Designed Product at certain times during the manufacture process. Where you are given a timescale in which to inspect the Designed Product, should you not inspect the Designed Product in that timescale the manufacture process may be suspended until such time you inspect the Designed Product. As a consequence delivery of your Designed Product may be delayed. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery caused by you not inspecting the Designed Product within specified timescales.
If you choose not to inspect the Designed Product we will proceed to manufacture the Designed Product in accordance with the Design Specification.
The maintenance and/or repair services (MR Services) we will provide will be set out in your order.
To enable us to perform the MR Services we will require you to deliver the item of jewellery to be repaired or maintained (Maintenance Piece) to our trading premises.

We will use all reasonable endeavours to advise you of any risks associated with undertaking the MR Services in respect of the Maintenance Piece. As a consequence of the MR Services the Maintenance Piece may look significantly different. The Maintenance Piece could further disintegrate or suffer discoloration as a consequence of MR Services. We do not accept liability for any disintegration or discolouration of the Maintenance Piece arising out of the MR Services save to the extent the Maintenance Piece disintegrates or discolours as a consequence of any negligent act or omission on our part.
Risk in the Maintenance Piece will remain with you whilst the Maintenance Piece is in our possession.
We will perform our Services using reasonable skill and care.

The Designed Product will be of satisfactory quality and fit for the purpose made known to us.
