Returns

Complete satisfaction promise

Reeves & Reeves has as its priority your total satisfaction with our items and services. In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase, you have the right to cancel your order with us.  To do this, please notify our Customer Service Team within 30 days of receiving the item by e-mailing us at caroline@reevesandreeves.com or calling us on: 01460 221630.

Our returns address is:

REEVES & REEVES RETURNS
UNIT 2 THE OLD FORGE
FORDE ABBEY
CHARD
SOMERSET
TA20 4LU

You will need to return your item to us within 30 days of delivery, in its original packaging with proof of purchase, dispatch note or gift certificate and we will be happy to either exchange the item or refund the price paid.  You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the items when they are in your possession.

For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange or refund earrings. Items bought in our Sale or on promotion will not be refunded if returned after 14 days from the day you received the item, but can be exchanged within the relevant Sale period. Regrettably, items engraved, embossed or soldered cannot be refunded or exchanged.

If you request a refund under our Complete Satisfaction Promise, we will refund you the price you paid for the items. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the items, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.  We will also refund any delivery costs you have paid us to send your item, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

Please note, if an exchange is required, your order will need to be refunded and a new order will be placed. Please contact our Customer Service Team and they'll be happy to help you with this.

We highly recommend that you send your order back to us via Royal Mail's special delivery service for security purposes. We cannot accept responsibility for items sent by you and lost in transit. For all returns, except where the item is defective, damaged or dispatched in error by us, you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the items to us.

A prompt refund of the price of the items will be issued once all the information referred to above is received, and in any event not later than 14 days after we receive the items from you. The credit card used for the original purchase will be credited with the original price. If you used vouchers to pay for the item we may refund you in vouchers. If there are any problems with your refund, a member of our Customer Service Team will contact you.

Customers are legally entitled to cancel an order at any time up to 14 days after receipt of the item and to return it for a full refund. However, our Complete Satisfaction Promise extends your ability to return an unsatisfactory online purchase for up to 30 days.

This returns policy does not apply to defective or damaged items or items sent to you in error, which are dealt with separately in the "Defective and damaged items" section below.

Cancellations and exchanges

If you want to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible. Since we ship quickly, it may not be possible to stop your order so please follow the instructions for 'Returns' in those instances.  Please follow these instructions for exchanges as well. It will usually be faster to re-order an item rather than send it back for an exchange, so please follow the above instructions while you order the item you would like instead. We realise this means two transactions on your credit card but feel it is faster for you to get the item you would like.

If we are providing engraving or repair services you cannot cancel your order if we have already started the work.  This does not apply to repairs you have instructed us to carry out to defective or damaged items.

Defective and damaged items

Should you receive an item you have ordered that is defective, damaged or not what you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible.  You must return any defective, damaged or incorrect item to us within 30 days of receiving the item. You may then choose to receive a replacement item, repair, exchange for an alternative item or refund. 

Where the item is defective, damaged or dispatched in error by us, we will refund the price of the item in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. 

Warranty

All Reeves & Reeves items (except watches, which are covered separately) are warranted by us for a period of 12 months from the original date of purchase under the terms of this warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects only. You will need to provide proof of purchase of the item.

In addition to your other rights under these terms, we will repair your item free of charge during the warranty period.

If we cannot repair your item we will refer you to our Customer Service Team and offer you an exchange of the item or a refund.  We may provide a full or partial refund to reflect any use you have made of the item. Please note warranty does not cover loss of item.

Delivery and customs

Please see our "delivery" page for information on timings and costs of delivery.  We will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the items or services within the times indicated. However, where delivery times and dates are given, they are for general guidance only and we will not be held liable for late delivery of items caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We shall attempt to deliver the items to the address you specify for delivery, or if none, to the credit card address you supply.  You are responsible for making arrangements to receive the items and if the items are held at the post office or other delivery company's depot because no one was available when the items were delivered then it is your responsibility to swiftly collect the items.  It is important that the addresses supplied by you to us are accurate.

Please note that any duty and/or administration charges incurred by your parcel being delivered overseas will need to be settled by you as Reeves & Reeves will not be held liable for these.  

Contract for sale or services

The description of the items, services, price, currency, VAT and delivery costs are set out on the order page.  The advertising of items and services on this site is an 'invitation to treat'. That means your order is an offer and no contract of sale is formed between you and Reeves & Reeves until your order has been despatched or in the case of engraving or personalisation, once work has begun.

In exceptional circumstances, if we are not able to fulfil an order we have accepted, your credit card will be re-credited with the original price and we will notify you by email. In no circumstances will we be liable to you for any additional amounts.

These terms and conditions cannot be varied except by changes made by Reeves & Reeves on the site, which we may make from time to time. You will only own the items you purchase once they have been successfully delivered and when we have received cleared payment for them in full. Until that time we will retain title to the items.  Items supplied are not for resale.

Payment

To securely receive your payments over the Internet we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which is the standard Internet practice and means your details are protected. You can see that you are in a secure environment through the 'padlock' symbol on Microsoft Internet Explorer or 'key' symbol on Netscape Navigator. SSL works with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 and later versions/ Netscape Browser versions 2.0 and later versions. We feel it's important to have this level of security available, so anyone using lower version browsers should contact us by phone to place an order.

Please don't try to send orders via email, as we cannot guarantee any secure transmission of details. We will take all reasonable care to keep your order secure, but in the absence of our sole negligence we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party obtains unauthorised access to any data (including credit and account details) you provide when accessing or ordering from the site. 

Disclaimer and liability

We reserve the right to change, modify, substitute or remove without notice any information on the site from time to time.  We will endeavour to ensure that all descriptions and illustrations of the items on the site or in our catalogue or otherwise provided to you by us are accurate but there may be slight variations due to print and publishing limitations. Reeves & Reeves work to keep the site up to date but cannot guarantee that this site and its contents are completely free of technical errors, viruses or anything else that may have a harmful effect on any technology.  We will endeavour to allow uninterrupted access to the site but access may be suspended, restricted or terminated at any time.  By using this site, you acknowledge that you assume full responsibility for all costs associated with all necessary servicing or repairs of any equipment you use in connection with this site.

In no event shall we be liable for any indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit (whether direct or indirect), data, revenue, business opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or reputation whether in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the terms and conditions or use of the site save where such liability cannot be excluded by law.

You must use the site for lawful purposes only.  If we allow you to register with us you are fully responsible and liable for all access made to the site using any password or user name that you register with us.  You should keep such passwords and user names confidential at all times.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability to you in connection with any claim or series of connected claims under these terms and conditions shall not exceed £1,000 or the value of the items to which a claim is relevant, whichever is the greater.

Notwithstanding anything else in these terms and conditions, we do not exclude or limit our liability in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

These terms and conditions do not affect your legal rights as a consumer.

We shall not be liable to you or in breach of these terms and conditions for delay or failure to perform if the delay or failure is due to a cause beyond our reasonable control.

In the case of repairs and engraving we strongly advise that you maintain adequate insurance for your jewellery while it is in our possession.

Reeves & Reeves cannot be held liable for any item that has been repaired or modified by a third party.

Customer responsibility

Reeves & Reeves cannot guarantee that the sale and delivery of its items to your particular country or location is permissible, so please be aware of your own geographic import restrictions.

This site and its contents will not constitute the basis for any contractual commitment between Reeves & Reeves and any prospective customer in any jurisdiction in which the solicitation of interest or the offering of or sale of items by Reeves & Reeves would contravene any applicable local, regional or national legislation. No prospective customer should seek to make any order through the site from jurisdictions in which it would be illegal for Reeves & Reeves to sell items.

Legal governance

Your use of this site and any contract between you and Reeves & Reeves for the sale of items shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. If any provision of these terms and conditions shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions. If we fail to enforce a right under these terms and conditions, that failure will not prevent us from enforcing other rights, or the same type of right on a later occasion.

Unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, no part of these terms and conditions are enforceable by anyone who is not a party to them, pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
