5. LIMITED WARRANTY

  • 5.1 Michael Hill offers a minimum twelve-month limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material and/or workmanship on all of the products its sells.
  • 5.2 Michael Hill offers a lifetime limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material and/or workmanship on all diamond jewelry (including diamond and colored stone jewelry) with a minimum retail price (listed price and excluding tax, shipping and other costs) of US$999 and with the exception of watches and silver jewelry, provided that the diamond jewelry is inspected at any one of Michael Hill's stores at least once every twelve months and that the inspection has been verified in writing in the space allowed on the guarantee ("Certificate of Purchase"). This lifetime warranty does not cover any further rhodium plating for gold jewelry.
  • 5.3  Fees will be imposed on any repair/service not covered by this three-year guarantee or where the guarantee has expired.
  • 5.4 GEMELLI  will, at its sole option, repair or replace a defective product or provide a refund of the purchase price.
  • 5.5 Repair, replacement, or refund as set forth above, are without prejudice to your rights at law, including: relevant consumer protection legislation; and the exclusive remedies under the twelve-month limited warranty, three-year watch limited warranty and the lifetime diamond limited warranty.
  • 5.6 The twelve-month limited warranty, the three-year watch limited warranty and the lifetime diamond limited warranty, each exclude, to the extent permitted in the legislation, damage due to ordinary wear and tear, misuse, accident, abuse, alteration, substitution, improper repair or warranty service performed by someone other than GEMELLI  or its authorized repairers, theft, disappearance, loss (including lost stones) and/or any other type of use causing deterioration. Loose diamond stones supplied by GEMELLI and assembled by someone other than GEMELLI or its authorized agents can be damaged during jewelry assembly. Such damage will not be covered by the twelve-month limited warranty, the three-year watch limited warranty and/or the lifetime diamond jewelry warranty, and Michael Hill will not be liable for any such damage.
  • 5.7 GEMELLI  reserves the sole right to judge whether or not the jewelry has been subject to ordinary wear and tear, misuse, abuse, alteration, substitution, improper repair or warranty service performed by someone other than GEMELLI  (or its authorized repairers), theft, disappearance, loss (including lost stones) or any other type of use causing deterioration. If, in GEMELLI  sole discretion, the jewelry shows signs of any of the foregoing, the twelve-month limited warranty; three-year watch limited warranty; and/or the lifetime diamond limited warranty will be entirely void.
  • 5.8 To obtain any limited warranty service, the customer must bring with them their original Certificate of Purchase. This Certificate of Purchase must be fully completed and signed on behalf of us by an authorized person at the time of purchase. If this Certificate of Purchase has been altered in any fashion, the warranty is void to the full extent permitted by law.
  • 5.9 White gold jewelry is rhodium plated to enhance its appearance. This plating is not permanent and will require further plating to maintain the enhanced appearance. The twelve-month limited warranty, three-year watch limited warranty and/or the lifetime diamond warranty do not cover any further rhodium plating.
  • 5.10 When a product is returned for repair under the original guarantee term, only the remaining term of the original guarantee will continue to apply (e.g. if a product is purchased under the twelve-month limited guarantee and returned for repair after eleven months from the date of purchase, once the repaired product is handed back to the customer, the remaining guarantee term will be only one month and any other repairs after this term will be outside the original guarantee period and will be charged accordingly).
