4. COVETT STRUCTURE

Covett Members. We will only accept Subscriber Application Forms to apply for a vault subscription if you agree to become a subscriber in accordance with these terms and have registered as a ‘Covett Member’ on our website. You become a Covett Member by registering on the registration page on our website. As a Covett Member, you will have the opportunity to view our vault of luxury jewellery pieces which are available for subscription and discuss with other members about what luxury pieces should be in our vault.

4.1 Possession of your item. Whilst the jewellery piece is in your possession, the item must either be worn or hand carried by you, under your close personal custody and control, or locked in a safe (value must exceed £10,000 RRP) which meets minimum specifications, which will be verified by a member of the Covett team (see clause 5.4). You are not permitted to let any other person wear the item while it is in your possession and to do so will be in breach of these terms.

5. COVETT JEWELLERY

5.1 Jewellery may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the jewellery on our website have been taken by a professional jewellery photographer who has made every effort to display the colour, clarity, and details of each piece of jewellery accurately. We cannot guarantee that the actual item accurately reflects the colour of the jewellery. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our items are individual pieces, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 3% tolerance. All written information about the jewellery is provided from the seller to and is provided for the purposes of understanding the piece with as much detail as available.

5.2 Jewellery presentation may vary. The presentation of each piece of jewellery may vary from that shown on images on our website, although all presentation boxes or cases will be chosen to ensure that the jewellery item is received by you in the safest way, preserving the integrity of the jewellery piece.

5.3 Measurements. Where we provide details of any measurements of the jewellery pieces, these are provided as accurately as possible, however you are responsible for ensuring that the measurements will allow you to wear the jewellery piece in the manner you wish.

5.4 Storage. All items, while not being worn. For items deemed replaceable under £10,000 RRP the jewellery must not be left in the home or hotel room unattended and should be worn or hand carried.

The jewellery can be stored in a jewellery box at home, as long as the member is home with the piece.

Jewellery pieces with a value over £10,000 RRP should be stored in a safe approved by us (see clause 4.3). Generally, we require each safe to have a ‘cash rating’ of ten times the market value of each item of jewellery stored within it. We permit you to store items in a hotel safe, if you are staying in that hotel, provided that hotel safe meets the relevant safe requirements.

5.5 Cleaning. Before you receive your jewellery item for your possession period, we will check it for any loose stones or damage and ensure it is professionally cleaned and sanitised. Should an item require cleaning whilst in your possession, you are only permitted to clean each item with mild hand soap only. In the event that you use any other cleaning products or any cleaning of the jewellery item causes any damage to the jewellery item, then you will be responsible for any damage caused to the jewellery item, including making good any damage caused and restoring the jewellery piece to the same standard that you received it.

5.6 Maintenance. Each item of jewellery will go through bi-annual maintenance whereby the item will be professionally cleaned and checked for weaknesses, and if required, repaired.

5.7 What happens if the item is lost, stolen or damaged. Jewellery items that are lost or stolen are covered by our insurance, subject to any exclusions in the insurance policy. We require you to report any lost or stolen items to both us and the police as soon as possible.

5.8 Negligent Damage. If whilst in your possession, the item is damaged through owner negligence, for example, failing to wear the item properly or using chemical cleaners, you will be responsible for the cost of any professional repair or cleaning we undertake to repair the damage. If the damage is irreparable, you will be liable for the cost of a similar replacement item.

5.9 Insurance. All our jewellery is fully insured for loss or damage subject to each subscriber agreeing to and abiding by these terms and conditions. All jewellery, whilst in your possession, should either be worn, hand carried under your control or locked in an approved home or hotel safe. Items over £10,000 must be locked in an approved safe when not worn. You are not required to insure any item yourself.

Exclusions from our insurance policy:

5.9.1 Loss or Damage occurring outside of the United Kingdom if You have been, or intend to be, away from the United Kingdom for more than 60 consecutive days.

5.9.2 Any routine repair, servicing, inspection, maintenance, cleaning, alteration or restoration costs.

We can deliver your item to your place of work as long as it is in London.

5.12 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If delivery of the item of jewellery is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event.

5.13 If you are not at home when the item is delivered. If you are not available at your home or work address to take delivery of the item, we will text you informing you of how to rearrange delivery. Any further delivery attempt will be at your own expense. You can arrange to pick up your item if that is more convenient.

5.16 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

5.17 Collection. When your period of possession is over, a member of the Covett team will pick the item up from the address you have provided, and each item will be assessed for any damage and tested to ensure any stones have not been replaced or altered.

10. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

10.1 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

10.2 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

10.3 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, but we continue to provide the items, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

10.4 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the items in the English courts.

10.5 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact an alternative dispute resolution provider.

10.6 Credit card Pre-authorisation. With new customers, we may ask for a pre-authorisation on your credit card for an amount of 50% of the retail value of the loaned piece(s).  This is to ensure that nothing untoward happens to the Covett jewellery piece(s) on loan to you while in your care. You are covered for any loss, theft or damage; however, we are not covered if you do not return the piece. We will keep your credit card details on file, and if the piece is not returned to us on time in pristine condition, we will put a credit memo for the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of the jewellery piece(s) until such time as the issue is resolved. If the loaned piece(s) is/are not returned to us within a reasonable amount of time, we have the right to charge your credit card the full RRP.
