You also acknowledge and agree that the internet may be subject to breaches of security, and that the submission of User Submitted Content or other content, materials, or information via the Service therefore may not be secure.
H. PRODUCT INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICE
1. DTC makes every effort to ensure that the Service is as accurate and complete as possible at all times. However, from time to time, information or materials on the Service concerning products, including but not limited to prices, may be out of date or inaccurate due to system, typographical, or other errors. While we make every attempt to avoid these errors, they do occur. DTC reserves the right to discontinue or change descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, prices, and availability of products offered on or though the Service at any time without prior notice, in its sole discretion. The inclusion of any product on the Service at a particular time does not imply or warrant that such product will be available at any other time. DTC further reserves the right to refrain from honoring inaccurate or erroneous prices, even after an order has been placed; errors in advertised prices are not binding on DTC, and may be adjusted by DTC at any time. DTC shall have the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for a product listed at the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions about any product, please do not hesitate to contact us at loopsquad@loopjewelry.com.
2. DTC makes reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our products, including the applicable sizes and colors. However, some products displayed on the Service may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs, and, since every computer monitor is set differently, color and size may vary slightly. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that your screen will accurately display product colors and sizes.
3. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, DTC states that carat total weight in all purchases may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight.
I. PURCHASE ORDERS
1. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD TO MAKE A PURCHASE ORDER THROUGH THE SERVICE WITHOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF A PARENT OR GUARDIAN. BY SUBMITTING A PURCHASE ORDER THROUGH THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. If DTC discovers or is of the opinion (as to which DTC shall have sole discretion) that you are not legally entitled to make certain purchases through the Service, DTC shall be entitled to cancel your order immediately, without notice.
2. If you wish to purchase a product offered for sale through the Service, we will ask you to supply certain information applicable to your purchase, including, without limitation, payment and other informat ion. Any such information will be treated as described in our Privacy Policy (available at www.loopjewelry.com/pages/privacy). All information that you provide to us or to our third-party payment processor must be accurate, current, and complete. BY SUBMITTING A PURCHASE ORDER THROUGH THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED TO INITIATE ANY TRANSACTION. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any user of you account and credit card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable shipping costs and/or taxes relating to your purchases. All purchase orders through the Service are subject to credit approval. Verification of information applicable to a purchase may be required prior to our acceptance of any order.
3. DTC reserves the right, for any reason in its sole discretion and at any time after receiving your order, to accept, refuse, place on hold, decline, or cancel any order you submit to us even after your receipt of an order confirmation. (Understand that your receipt of an email order confirmation does not signify DTC’s acceptance of your order or a confirmation of our offer to sell, but rather is simply an acknowledgement that we received your order.) DTC reserves the right, with or without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue any product; to bar any user from making any or all purchase(s); and/or to refuse to provide any user with any product. DTC shall not be liable to anyone for withdrawing any product from the Service or for refusing to accept any order.
4. After receiving your order, DTC may contact you to request clarification, additional or missing information regarding your order or your account. It is your sole responsibility to deliver the additional information to DTC in a timely manner. DTC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place your order on hold or cancel your order if the requested information is not received in a timely and complete manner. Orders placed on hold will be automatically cancelled 15 days after being submitted if there’s missing information.
5. In the event DTC changes or cancels an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address and/or phone number provided at the time the order was submitted. If your order is cancelled, DTC will issue a refund according to these terms.
6. Purchases of commercial quantities of products through the Service is not permitted without DTC’s prior written authorization. DTC reserves the right to place further limits or restrictions on product orders in its sole discretion.
J. SHIPPING & DELIVERY
1. Standard domestic shipping for orders placed through the Service is always free. Shipping fees only apply to expedited domestic shipping options.
2. DTC presently cannot offer international shipping (though we hope to soon).
3. From the minute DTC receives your order, it takes up to three (3) weeks to make your ring and get it shipped out to you. DTC will send you tracking information for your package and updates on its shipping progress.
4. Your ring will be fully insured while in transit, from the time it is shipped from DTC’s headquarters to the time you receive and sign for it.
5. Because our rings are high-value items, your package will need to be signed for at the shipping address upon delivery; customers are responsible for coordinating and accepting delivery from the shipping carrier.
6. All estimated shipping dates regarding your order provided by DTC are for reference only, and shall not be considered a guarantee, warranty, or commitment by DTC that your order will be delivered on that date. Since the actual delivery of your order may be impacted by events beyond DTC’s control once it has shipped, DTC cannot be held liable for late deliveries.
K. LIFETIME MANUFACTURING DEFECT WARRANTY
1. DTC offers a lifetime guarantee on rings purchased through the Service. If there’s an issue with your ring down the road due to a manufacturing defect, DTC will always fix or replace it. (To be clear, this warranty only covers manufacturing defects; any damage to rings purchased through the Service subsequent to delivery is expressly excluded.) If you believe your ring has a manufacturing defect subject to this guarantee, please contact us at loopcare@loopjewelry.com to arrange for shipment of your ring to us. We will cover shipping, take a look at your ring, and contact you within 48 hours to let you know how we can help.
L. LIFETIME ANNUAL CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. DTC also offers complementary cleaning and maintenance for purchased through the Service once a year, every year following your purchase. If you would like to arrange for your annual cleaning and maintenance of your ring, please contact us at loopcare@loopjewelry.com to arrange for shipment of your ring to us. We will cover shipping, clean your ring and give it a check-up to make sure everything is secure. Then, if no additional work is needed, we’ll send it back to you within 3 business days.
M. ORDER CHANGES, RETURNS, & CANCELLATIONS
1. DTC will do everything we can to get you the right ring. But, if something is off with your ring, we will make it right or take it back.
2. So long as the ring is in original unworn condition, with all packaging and documentation (including the original GIA Certificate that accompanied your order), DTC allows returns anytime before 100 days following the date your order is delivered to you, no questions asked.
3. DTC will cover all shipping costs for returns – however, please do not ship us anything to be returned without contacting us first at loopcare@loopjewelry.com, as we will send you all necessary shipping and packaging materials for you to use to complete the return. Please note that returns will only be processed for rings sent to us with LOOP pre-authorized labels and packaging.
4. DTC also allows order changes and cancellations anytime before your order is shipped.
5. After an order is returned or cancelled, you can expect to receive your refund within 7-10 business days.

S. INDEMNIFICATION
1. You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or conduct any activity on the Service) agree to defend (at DTC’S request), indemnify, and hold harmless DTC, its independent contractors and consultants, and their respective directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (a) your access or use of the Service, including but not limited to with respect to User Submitted Content; (b) your purchases, orders, and transactions with DTC; (c) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use (including, without limitation, breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation set forth herein); (d) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (e) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (f) any misrepresentation made by you.
2. You will cooperate as fully required by DTC in the defense of any such claim. DTC reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of DTC.
T. ARBITRATION
1. For any dispute you have with DTC, you agree to first contact us at loopcare@loopjewelry.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.
2. For any dispute that cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any dispute that you have with DTC (whether or not such dispute involves a third party), including, without limitation, disputes related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Service, and/or copyright, trademark, publicity and/or privacy rights, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes, and you hereby expressly waive trial by jury. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor DTC will participate in class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Use. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if DTC is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either DTC or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use.
3. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties set forth hereinabove is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This Arbitration provision of the Terms of Use will survive the termination of your relationship with DTC.
4. DTC reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with DTC.
U. TIME LIMITATION ON CLAIMS
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to the Service and/or your relationship with DTC must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
V. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
1. These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable United States federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE.
2. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with DTC exclusively in a United States state or federal court located in the State of New York, and to irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
3. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. DTC’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any other provision or right set forth in these Terms of Use. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms of Use.
4. The parties to these Terms of Use are independent contractors with respect to each other. These Terms of Use do not constitute and shall not be construed as constituting the parties as principal and agent, employer and employee, partners, joint venturers, or any similar relationship. These Terms of Use do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights other than as expressly provided for herein. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in performing these Terms of Use.
5. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of DTC. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of DTC will be null and void. DTC may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Use will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
6. The information provided within the Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject DTC to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. DTC reserves the right to limit the availability of the Service or any portion of the Service, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in their sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature provided within the Service.
7. DTC does not represent or warrant that the Service or any part thereof or any products offered through the Service is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Service do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations.
8. Software related to or made available by the Service may be subject to United States export controls. Thus, no software from the Service may be downloaded, exported or re-exported: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the United States has embargoed goods; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By downloading any software related to the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any such country or on any such list.
9. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and DTC regarding the Service and governs your access and use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and DTC regarding the Service.
