Sugarplum Lane Terms & Conditions
Last updated February 5th, 2011

Please take a moment to read these terms and conditions (the 'Terms and Conditions') carefully. These terms and conditions apply to the Sugarplum Lane Website located at www.sugarplumlane.com. By using this Website, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of, and any purchase from, the Sugarplum Lane Website, and constitute an agreement between you and Sugarplum Lane. Sugarplum Lane may change or modify any of these Terms and Conditions or any policy or guideline of the Website at any time; please check back regularly for updates as any change or modification will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on the Website. Your use of the Website following the posting of its modifications or changes will signify your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Regularly review these Terms and Conditions and any other Sugarplum Lane policies from time-to-time to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Website.

Product Availability
You may be interested in a piece of jewelry that is currently on back order. Please call us and we can tell you when the item will be back in stock. An item may go out of stock before we are able to post an announcement on the Website. If this happens, we will contact you directly to discuss options. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Sugarplum Lane reserves the right to limit the availability of, restrict access to, or discontinue the Website and/or any content, product, service, or other feature described or available on the Website to any person, entity, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, product, service, or other feature that we provide.

Pricing
Our prices are subject to change without notice as the price of precious metals is volatile. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. All of our prices are final. Data, including prices, may be erroneously displayed on our Website due to typographical or system errors. While we make every effort to avoid these inaccuracies, they may occur. We reserve the right to correct any and all mistakes when they occur. We do not honor erroneous or inaccurate prices. If a product's listed price is lower than its actual price we will contact you for instructions before shipping the product or we will cancel the order and notify you of such cancellation. If the order has already shipped, you agree to either pay the difference between the actual and charged prices or return the product. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 800.617.9750.

Return Policy
It is important to us that you are fully satisfied with your purchase. Articles are accepted for credit or exchange in the U.S. if returned in saleable condition within 30 days, accompanied by a sales receipt. Returns may be sent to our Customer Service Center. To return or exchange your gift selection, please email [email protected] or call 800.617.9750. Gift recipients are entitled to a nonrefundable exchange.

Certificates/Policy on Toxic-Free Silver
Upon your request, when you order a piece of jewelry, Sugarplum Lane will send you a certificate that all our alloys are toxic- free. At Sugarplum Lane, our manufacturers only purchase alloys through the most respected suppliers who like us, adhere to and enforce California’s law to protect children and adults from exposure to lead in jewelry. This law restricts the amount of lead in jewelry by identifying what materials may be used, as well as establishing lead concentration thresholds that may not be exceeded. These reports are detailed documents created by alloy experts. Sugarplum Lane issues these certificates in good faith on behalf of its manufacturers and has made no willingly false or misleading statements regarding the composition of our manufacturer’s alloys.

Information and Photographs on our Website
At Sugarplum Lane, we make every attempt to ensure that our online catalog is as complete and accurate as possible. Some products 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. Our goal is to provide you with as much information and detail about your prospective purchase as possible so that you can see the detail, beauty, and shape of a particular item. We provide the measurement of our products in our online catalogue based on our manufacturing specifications. Slight tolerances may be accounted for hand-finishing during the manufacturing process.

Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how Sugarplum Lane uses, collects, and discloses personally identifiable information from its customers.
