8. User Content and Interactive Features or Areas

The Sites may include discussion forums, blogs, profiles, product reviews or other interactive features or areas (collectively, “Interactive Areas”), in which you or other users create, post, transmit or store any content, such as text, music, sound, photos, video, graphics or code on the Sites (“User Content”). User Content is publicly-viewable and includes your profile information and any content you post pursuant to your profile, but it does not include your JDJS.com account information “) or information you submit in order to make a purchase. You agree that you are solely responsible for your User Content and for your use of such Interactive Areas, and that you use the Interactive Areas at your own risk.

By using any Interactive Areas, you agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish or send through the Sites any of the following:

  • User Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;
  • User Content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law;
  • User Content that displays, describes or encourages usage of any product we sell in a manner that could be offensive, inappropriate or harmful to JDJS or any user or consumer or that is contrary to any instructions or warnings relating to the product (safety concerns can be reported to info@jennygems.com);
  • User Content that may impinge upon or violate the publicity, privacy or data protection rights of others, including pictures, videos, images or information about another individual where you have not obtained such individual’s consent;
  • User Content that makes false or misleading statements, claims or depictions about a person, company, product or service;

JDJS encourages our users to report User Content that violates these Terms (either by using a flagging or reporting mechanism provided within the Sites or, for content that infringes copyright or trademark rights, by following the instructions in Sections 4 and 5 of Part One of these Terms). Enforcement of the Terms, however, is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Sites will not contain any content that is prohibited by such Terms. Although JDJS has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted on the Sites, JDJS reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense.

Any use of the Sites in violation of these Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Sites.

9. Rights in User Content

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Sites or in a separate agreement with us, JDJS claims no ownership or control over any User Content. However, by submitting or posting User Content on the Sites, you grant JDJS and our subsidiaries and affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such User Content on the Sites and on third-party sites and mobile applications and in all other media or formats, whether currently known or hereafter developed, for any purpose and without any compensation to you. You also grant users of the Sites the right to access your User Content in connection with their use of the Sites. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire; however, you acknowledge that there may be exceptions (for example, you cannot delete a vote you submitted that has already been counted or your purchase history).

If you take advantage of such a Product Review opportunity, you agree to state your opinions lawfully, honestly and in good faith and to reveal to others any conflict of interest or relationship that might influence your views (e.g., if someone is paying or giving you something for free to encourage you to comment, you agree to make appropriate disclosures). All Product Reviews are strictly the opinion of the user posting such reviews, and JDJS does not endorse or approve any such reviews or have any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, appropriateness or content of such reviews. Finally, we may use a third party to “power” or provide the opportunity to review products or services. In that case, you will also need to review the terms of service for that third party’s website, including its privacy policy, to determine whether they are acceptable to you. If they are not, do not use its site or provide Product Reviews.

JDJS shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to such Feedback and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of the Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.

Part Two – Terms for Users Making Purchases

APPLIES IN ADDITION TO PART ONE IF YOU PURCHASE A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH THE SITES.

1. Pricing and Availability

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars; taxes, shipping and handling charges are additional. All items are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to change without notice and you agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the billing screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. Additionally, many products displayed on our Sites are also available at the showroom while supplies last. Prices displayed on the Sites may vary from those in the showroom.

2. Errors

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on the Sites; however, we do not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the Sites, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or service or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.

3. Out-of-Stock Items; Backorders

Although items listed are generally available, sometimes we will not know in advance that product is unavailable, so when you place items in your Shopping Cart you will be asked if you would like to backorder them. If you indicate yes, the item will be sent to you once it becomes available. Note that some items may be backordered or unavailable even if the Sites indicate that they are in-stock, and adding an item to your cart does not guarantee the availability of that item. We will not charge your payment card until the item ships to the designated delivery address. If the backordered item is no longer available, we will cancel the item from your order and notify you, usually via e-mail. If you have items on backorder that you would like to cancel, please contact us at info@jennygems.com.

4. Agreement to Conduct Transactions Electronically; Recording; Copies

You agree that all of your transactions with or through the Sites may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will still be governed by the remainder of these Terms unless you enter into different terms provided by us. You are responsible to print or make an electronic a copy of these Terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.

5. Shipping & Handling; No Export by You

When we ship to you or per your directions, you agree to pay the shipping and any handling charges shown on the Sites when your order is placed. We reserve the right to increase, decrease and add or eliminate charges from time to time and without prior notice, so you agree to check all charges before placing an order or signing up for a service. Any shipping or handling charges may or may not reflect actual costs. All orders are shipment contracts, not destination contracts, including orders shipped to the JDJS showroom for pick-up. Any shipping times shown on the Sites are estimates only – actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain or direct shipment of product for export.

6. Payment; Credit for Refunds

Only valid credit cards or other payment method acceptable to us may be used and all refunds will be credited to the same card or, in our discretion, other method. By submitting your order, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated card or method and authorize us to charge your order (including taxes, shipping, handling and any other amounts described on the Sites) to that card or other method. If the card (or other method) cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not otherwise acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. Regarding “Your Account,” you agree to keep all payment cards or other payment method information current and that we may submit charges for processing even if the card (or other method) has expired or changed by the time we submit it. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

7. Returns and Exchanges

JDJS has a 10-day satisfaction guarantee on all products we sell on our Sites. You may: (1) return or exchange new product purchases by mail or at our showroom within ten days of receipt of goods for any reason. Returns mailed or returned to our showroom after ten days will not be accepted and credit will not be given for the returns.

Returns may make you ineligible for promotions and we reserve the right to require identification, proof of purchase, or additional verifiable information to help JDJS locate the purchase in our records. If a gift certificate or card, voucher, coupon or payment mechanism other than a credit or debit card was used to pay the original price, or if the purchase was part of a special offer that is not in effect when the return is made, we may give you a merchandise credit. After we have received your valid return, we will provide one of the following within a reasonable time: an exchange of merchandise for the item returned, a non-transferable merchandise credit, a non- transferable gift certificate or gift card, a credit to the payment card used to pay for the product, a check, or another remedy that we determine in good faith is appropriate in the circumstances. If you do not comply with any of the above conditions, we reserve the right to refuse the return or exchange, or to impose different or additional conditions, including (without limitation) basing our response on the current sales price.

If you believe a product sold by JDJS has a condition or defect that might make it unsafe, please report this safety concern immediately calling 844-967-3748 or email jennifer@jennygems.com.

8. Complaints and Legal Notices

All complaints and legal notices should be mailed to JDJS, 21348 Cedar Creek Avenue Georgetown, DE 19947.

9. JDJS-branded Products Limited Warranty; No Warranty on Used Gear

JDJS warrants that new JennyGems® branded products will be free from defects in materials and JDJS workmanship at the time of sale.

All used products, whether JennyGems® branded or not, are sold AS-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. JDJS makes no other express warranties and this warranty supersedes any prior representations and understandings regarding the products, including any warranty arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. Manufacturers of non-JennyGems® branded products may provide other warranties, and you agree that your remedy for any defects in such products will be based solely on the warranty(s), if any, provided by those manufacturers. Products eligible for warranty return may be returned or service fees refunded in accordance with Section 7.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from State to State.

10. Exclusivity of Remedy; Limitation of Liability

Your sole and exclusive remedy, and JDJS’ sole and exclusive liability, for any breach of warranty shall be your right to return the product, or receive a refund for the service under the applicable JDJS returns and exchanges policies. IN NO EVENT SHALL JDJS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE JDJS PARTIES (JOINTLY), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITES EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE.

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10 WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE JDJS’ LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PRODUCTS YOU PURCHASE THROUGH THE SITES, OR FOR JDJS’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, INTENTIONAL, WILLFUL, MALICIOUS OR RECKLESS MISCONDUCT.

Emissions Standards for Engineered Wood Products

We are dedicated to producing the highest quality wood products through sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. We ensure all our applicable products are certified under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations, including: hardwood plywood, composite panels, and particle board.

As of June 1, 2018, all composite wood products must be compliant with the EPA’s Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) Title VI regulation. This certification and our compliance statements are also included in all our invoices and order acknowledgements. The EPA established Title VI of TSCA to regulate the chemical emissions produced by three important composite wood products: hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particle board. 

We ensure that our wood suppliers obtain compliance for TSCA Title VI by maintaining records of their purchases and utilization of TSCA Title VI compliant cores in their product fabrication.

All of our products are labeled in accordance with the requirements set forth by the EPA. Products are labeled to certify that they meet federal emissions standards. The label includes manufacturing information, date of manufacturing and compliance information.
