III. Order and Transaction Rules
- Order Placement and Confirmation:
- When you place an order for Women's Brooches on the Website, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products at the displayed price. We reserve the right to accept or reject your order. An order is considered confirmed only after we send you an order confirmation email (to the email address you provided) stating that the order has been processed and will be shipped.
- We may reject an order for reasonable reasons, including but not limited to: product out-of-stock, incorrect product pricing or description, suspected fraudulent order (e.g., abnormal payment information, mismatched shipping and billing addresses), or failure to verify your identity or payment information. If your order is rejected, we will notify you promptly and refund any payment you have already made (excluding any transaction fees incurred, which will be borne by us if the rejection is due to our reasons).
- Payment Terms:
- You shall pay for the order in full according to the price and payment method specified on the Website (e.g., credit card, PayPal). All prices displayed on the Website are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and include applicable sales taxes (unless otherwise stated; for orders shipped to regions with different tax rates, the final tax amount will be calculated based on the shipping address at checkout).
- You guarantee that the payment method you use is legal and that you have the right to use it. If the payment is rejected, delayed, or reversed (e.g., chargeback due to unauthorized use), we may suspend or cancel your order, and you shall be responsible for any losses incurred by us (e.g., logistics costs, bank fees). We will notify you to resolve the payment issue within a reasonable period; if the issue is not resolved within that period, we may cancel the order and retain the right to pursue further legal remedies.
- Shipping and Delivery:
- We will arrange the shipment of your order within the time specified on the product page (usually 1-5 business days after order confirmation, excluding weekends and holidays) and use authorized logistics providers (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx) to deliver the products to the shipping address you provided. The estimated delivery time depends on the shipping destination and selected shipping method; we will provide you with a tracking number via email once the order is shipped, allowing you to track the logistics status.
- You shall be responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. If the product is lost, delayed, or returned due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we will assist you in tracking or reshipping (if possible), but you may need to bear additional costs (e.g., reshipping fees). Risk of loss or damage to the products passes to you upon delivery of the products to the shipping address (as confirmed by the logistics provider's delivery record).
