TERMS & CONDITIONS

OWNERSHIP OF SITE & AGREEMENT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

These terms and conditions of use (“Terms of Use”) apply to the Fresh Recollection website at freshrecollection.com, its affiliated businesses and Fresh Recollection websites across the world (collectively the “Site”) as well as our jewellery retail services (the “Services”) provided by Fresh Recollection. The Site is the property of Fresh Recollection and the Site is operated by Fresh Recollection. Fresh Recollection controls the Site from its offices in Hong Kong. The Site can be accessed from other countries around the world. By accessing the Site, you agree that all matters relating to access to, or use of, the Site, or any other hyperlinked website, shall be governed by the laws of Hong Kong. You also agree and hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Hong Kong and acknowledge that you do so voluntarily and are responsible for complying with the laws.

 

BY USING/ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND YOU ASSENT TO THE PRIVACY POLICY. AS LONG AS YOU COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, FRESH RECOLLECTION GRANTS YOU A PERSONAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE, NON-TRANSFERABLE, LIMITED PRIVILEGE TO ENTER AND USE THE SITE AND SERVICES. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.

REQUESTS & ORDERS

Fresh Recollection offers information on our products and the ability to request for quotation for such products.  No online orders can be made directly from our Website without a Request for Quotation and acceptance of our Detailed Quotation.  Requests for Quotation can be made directly by adding products from our Website into the Wish List or contacting us directly using the Contact Form at the bottom of our Website.

 

Order acceptance and the completion of a contract between you and Fresh Recollection (“Contract”) will take place only when you make full or part payment at checkout, unless we do not accept your payment, your requests, or later cancel the order in accordance with our terms below. For orders placed at our retail store, a contract of sale occurs at the point of full or part payment. You agree to pay the amounts displayed to you at the time of purchase, as well as any applicable custom duties, taxes and fees.

 

In order to access the Services, you must provide personal information about yourself, such as name identification, email address and recipient mailing address details. You warrant that any information you give to Fresh Recollection in the course of placing orders will always be accurate, correct and up to date.

​

All orders are generally packed & dispatched within 3 to 5 working weeks. Our acceptance of your order will take place when a confirmation email together with an assigned order number is sent to your registered email address with us, generally within 2 working days of your payment. Our craftsman starts production immediately once the order is confirmed. If you request for a Rush Order, please contact us separately.

 

We reserve the right to accept or decline any and all orders received from or through the Site in our sole and absolute discretion.  Each fully-paid order accepted by us shall constitute a separate and individual contract governed by these Terms and Conditions. If we are unable to process your order, we will inform you of this. This might arise because the product is out of stock; because of unexpected limits on our resources for which we could not reasonably plan; because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements; because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product; or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. The price payable by you for the product shall be the price of the product listed for sale as stated on the Site at the time your order is transmitted to us through the Site. All payments will be processed in Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). We reserve the right to amend the price of any product at any time without giving any reason or prior notice. Please complete payment within 48 hours from the time you accept our Quotation. All unpaid orders after this payment time-frame will be cancelled automatically. Due to the made-to-order nature of our products & services, all deposits are non-refundable.

​

​

DELIVERY SERVICES

You acknowledge that the Services offered by Fresh Recollection integrate delivery (the ‘ Delivery Services‘) through the use of third party delivery companies (the ‘ Delivery Service Providers‘). In providing the Services, Fresh Recollection may provide you with a variety of delivery and insurance options offered as part of the Delivery Services by the Delivery Service Providers. You acknowledge and agree that Fresh Recollection is not the provider of these delivery and insurance options and merely facilitates your interaction with the Delivery Service Providers in respect to providing the Delivery Services. In the event that an item is lost or damaged in the course of the Delivery Services, Fresh Recollection asks that you:

a. contact the Delivery Service Provider directly to request a refund or to claim on any insurance options available; and

b. contact us by sending an email to info@freshrecollection.com outlining in what way the Products were damaged in transit so we are able to determine if the Delivery Service Provider should be removed from the Purchase Services.
