PURCHASE LIMITS

In an effort to enhance your shopping experience and give as many customers as possible the opportunity to purchase our merchandise, we may place limits on purchases and we do not authorize the purchase of commercial quantities of our merchandise. If you are interested in purchasing commercial quantities please contact us for wholesale pricing and details on how to place wholesale orders.  We also may, among other things, restrict orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit, cancel or prohibit orders that, in our judgment, appear to be placed in violation of this policy.

BILLING, PRICING AND PRODUCTS

At Sparkle Chest we offer both factory and handmade products which can have minor imperfections which cannot be returned as damaged. Like all things fragile please handle your product with care.  Sparkle Chest does not guarantee stones won’t fall due to wear and tear. Although Sparkle Chest has made every effort to display our products and their colors as accurately as possible, the displayed colors of the products depend upon the monitor of the user, and as such Sparkle Chest cannot guarantee that the user’s monitor will accurately portray the actual colors of the products. Products displayed may be out of stock or discontinued, and prices are subject to change. Sparkle Chest is not responsible for typographical errors regarding price or any other matter. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or correctness of any information on this Website. For example, products included on the Website may be unavailable, may have different attributes than those listed, or may actually carry a different price than that stated on the Website. In addition, we may make changes in information about price and availability without notice. While it is our practice to confirm orders by email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to limit the order quantity on any product or service and/or to refuse service to any customer. We also may require verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or shipment of any order.

Sparkle Chest currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce.  Our payment processors and as such the payment methods they accept may change without notice.  Our third-party e-commerce payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various credit cards.  By using such third-party payment processors, you agree to their terms and conditions of use.  Such third parties may charge fees to process payments.  We may pay certain fees at our sole discretion.  Sparkle Chest disclaims all liability with regards to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors. Sparkle Chest makes no representations and warranties about the continued availability of any particular form of payment method made available for use on the Website.
