Please be advised that the Company’s jewelry is hand-crafted and is fragile and requires careful handling.  To ensure the safety and longevity of your jewelry, it is recommended that it be cleaned regularly using a soft cloth to keep it radiant.  Avoid any contact with perfume, chemical products, abrasives such as bleach, iodine dyeing, solvents or thinners. Generally, it is advisable not to sleep with your jewelry, and not to soak it in water. It is recommended that you always remove your jewels before you bathe or shower as the tap water, swimming pool or sea water is harmful to your jewelry.  Note that some beads are fragile (ceramic beads or glass paste, for example), so avoid dropping your jewels.  In addition, the care you take with the storage of your jewelry is of particular importance in order to extend their life.  Straps mounted on elastic must be put on without pulling, preferably by rolling them.
 
The feather jewelry or cabled wires are particularly delicate, handle them carefully so that they do not get distorted. Always place them carefully in a jewelry box, in an individual compartment.  For wooden jewelry, to keep the wood shiny, wipe it regularly with a dry cloth.  Mother of pearl is a natural material. Mother of pearl jewelry should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Guaranteed silver jewelry and gold-plated jewelry is tarnished under the effect of many external factors such as humidity, skin acidity, and they are likely to scratch. To restore their original radiance, it is recommended to use a soft chamois cloth.  As silver jewelry can also be blackened over time, you can use a special silver product on the chamois for effective anti-oxidant protection.
 
You can return or exchange items within twenty-eight (28) days of the date of delivery. All items being returned or exchanged must be sent back and postmarked within the twenty-eight (28) days grace period from the date it was delivered.  Any returned item must include the following:
 
Your telephone number and e-mail address;
Original packaging;
Proof of purchase; and

DISPUTES
 
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE SITES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT. THIS PROVISION ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO PROCEED WITH ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION. THIS SECTION ALSO INCLUDES A JURY WAIVER.
 
You and the Company agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim that has arisen or may arise between the parties relating in any way to your use of or access to the Website, the Products, any interpretation, breach, enforcement, or termination of these Conditions, or otherwise relating to the Company in any way (collectively, “Covered Matters”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section.
 
Informal Resolution. If you have any dispute with the Company, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact the Company at customer-service@rand.fr, provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account) and allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which the Company will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of your issue.
 
Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California will govern all Covered Matters. California conflicts of law rules shall apply.
 
You and the Company each agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or related to or connected with the Covered Matters shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Any claims arising out of, relating to, or connected with the Covered Matters not resolved through Informal Resolution pursuant to paragraph 14(a) above must be asserted individually in a binding arbitration to be administered by JAMS in Los Angeles County, California pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Both parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted
before a single JAMS arbitrator who is a retired California or federal judge or justice. The arbitrator shall strictly apply California substantive law and the California Rules of Evidence. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU HAVE TO A COURT OR
JURY TRIAL. The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Conditions, including, any claim that all or any part of these Conditions is void or voidable or that a particular claim is subject to arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Parties specifically agree to submit to the jurisdiction of JAMS and such courts for all Covered Matters.
 
(d) Award.  You agree and acknowledge that in any award to be granted by the Arbitrator, your rights and remedies against the Company or other party related to the Website or Products shall be limited to an action at law for money damages, and you hereby waive all other rights and remedies you may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, injunctive relief, rescission, cancellation, and termination of this Agreement or the right to enjoin or restrain the advertisement, promotion, marketing or exploitation by Company or any third party in connection with the Website, the Products and/or any rights or activities hereunder in any and all manner of media whatsoever, whether now known or hereafter devised). For matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, the arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with
applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
