Please check this webpage on a regular basis and familiarise yourself with any changes as they are binding on you. We will update the 'last revised' date at the top of this page when changes are made.

2. OUR PRODUCTS

Product descriptions, pricing and availability

2.1. We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products on our Site are accurate and kept up to date. Please consider, however, that due to features and traits of goods sold, product images may not always fully correspond to actual appearance of the products.

2.2. We may change products shown on our site from time to time:

2.2.1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

2.2.2. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

2.3. Errors may sometimes occur in our pricing. If we have made an error in the price of a product you have ordered, we will contact you with the correct price. You will have the option to reconfirm your order at the correct price, or the order will be cancelled. Prices may change and offers on products may be withdrawn at any time. Offers and promotions may be available online only or in-store only. Please check the terms of the relevant offer on the Site.

2.4. All orders are subject to availability. Once a product is sold out, it will be taken off the Site as soon as reasonably possible and may not be available again. If products that you order are out of stock we will not accept the order but will contact you and you may decide to cancel the whole or part of your order. If we are unable to contact you, we may, after a period of time, cancel the whole order or the relevant part of the order and process the remainder of the order at our discretion.

Except in respect of bespoke or personalised items, the amount of the purchase price will be blocked on your payment card until your order has been shipped, when your payment card will be charged the purchase price for your item(s).

In respect of items collected in-store, the amount of the purchase price will be taken at the point at which the item becomes ready for collection.

3.5. We take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure. However, unless we are fraudulent negligent, we will not, where allowed by law, be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of any unauthorised access to this data by a third party.

3.7. Prior to order confirmation, De Beers may contact you to ask for additional information or confirmation of identification for fraud prevention purposes. For information about how we process your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy

4. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

4.1. For the purposes of these T&Cs, “International Order” means an order in respect of which the shipping origin and the shipping destination are in two separate countries.

5. DELIVERY

Delivery options

5.1. Different delivery policies and options may apply depending on where your order is being delivered. Please visit the Delivery Options page or our FAQs for further information.

5.2. We do not charge for our standard shipping and handling option, but this option may not be available for International Orders or orders for certain products. At checkout you will be provided with an estimated delivery date for your items. Please refer to the Delivery Options page for further information.

5.3. The costs, delivery times and service levels of any non-standard shipping and handling options (including International Orders) can be found on the Delivery Options page. Please note that there may be a longer lead time between order confirmation and dispatch of your order if your items are bespoke or personalised (including products which are engraved). We will not be responsible if our supply of the products is prevented or delayed by an event outside our control (for example, a delay caused by a shipping carrier), but we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. We will inform you of any such event within 7 days and will arrange a new delivery date with you.

5.4. De Beers will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver products on time but cannot guarantee any time-sensitive requests.

Delivery process

5.5. Once your order has been processed and confirmed, De Beers will email you with the relevant courier name and courier tracking number (if applicable) and expected delivery date. We will aim for the delivery date to be no later than 30 days following the email date unless De Beers advises otherwise.

5.6. For security, all our products are sent by secure courier delivery, where original photographic proof of identity (such as a passport or identity card) and signature are required on delivery to show that the person taking receipt of the order is the same person named in the order details.

5.7. In case of a failed delivery attempt, the package will not be left with an alternative person or at an alternative delivery location. Instead, an attempt to re-deliver will be made by the courier company. Repeated failed delivery attempts will result in the package being returned to De Beers, the order cancelled and a refund being issued.

5.8. If De Beers does not have a store in the country you are based, our third party logistics provider may require your specific authorisation to clear your order through customs on your behalf. Where allowed by law, you hereby provide such authorisation to the relevant third party logistics provider (see https://www.dhl.com/ for details of the relevant third party logistics provider in respect of your country).

In-store collection

5.9. We may, at our discretion, allow you to collect any product you have ordered from one of our local retail stores. If you have opted to collect an order in-store (where such option is available), you will be required to bring to the relevant store, original photographic proof of your identity (such as a passport or identity card) together with your payment card used to place the order. You will be able to collect your order during the normal trading hours of the store concerned. Your product will be held at the store for 7 days after we have notified you the product is available for collection. If you do not collect the product within the 7 day period, the product will be returned to our storage facility and we will notify you how to arrange delivery to your address.

5.10. If you do not collect the product from us as arranged (or having failed to collect the item you subsequently fail to arrange delivery of the item to your address), we will attempt to contact you for further instructions. If we are unable to contact you or arrange delivery or collection within 30 days of the original collection date we may cancel your order and issued a refund (where payment has already been taken).

Your responsibilities in relation to delivery

5.11. The product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the delivery address you gave us or from the time you collect it from us.

5.12. Subject to clause 5.13, you own the goods once we deliver the product to the delivery address you gave us or from the time you collect it from us.

5.14. Should you wish to return an item, all products are sent out with information and materials to assist you with your return. Packaging should also be kept for the period you are able to return the goods, as this will help to ensure safe and secure return delivery. See 'Returns' below for more information.

5.15. You agree that you shall be responsible for complying with any applicable legal requirements once you have collected your product, including requirements which may arise when transporting your product to another country (such as completing any required customs declarations and paying any applicable taxes and/or customs duties).

There is no legal right to change your mind in respect of products which are made to your specifications or are personalised (including by engraving and bespoke items) (Non-Returnable Products), and (except where the products have been damaged or lost in transit where delivery is made by our shipping carrier) and other than in accordance with a statutory guarantee we will not accept returns of such products nor will we issue refunds in respect of such products.
