1. OBJECT

The object of the ZAPATA JOYEROS Website is to provide access in good faith to the services and information contained therein.

Joyería Skandia S.A. is a company with legal address at Calle Mandri 20, 08022, Barcelona, and inscribed in the Barcelona Mercantile Registry in Tome 22589, Sheet 88, Page B-39.378, and holding C.I.F. number A-08451676.

The present Conditions are applicable to the following modalities and features defined in this Website: Online Purchase, Online Purchase / In Store Pickup, Online Selection / In Store Purchase, and Barcelona Express Purchase.

2. QUALITY

Since its founding in 1981, ZAPATA JOYEROS has belonged to the Barcelona Guild of Jewelers and Watchmakers and is inscribed as member number 2300 in the Official Catalonian College of Jewelers, Goldsmiths, Watchmakers and Gemologists.

The articles offered in this Website are guaranteed from manufacturing defects, and all of the jewelry articles are hallmarked.

For jewelry items, all gold pieces are made from 18 carat gold (750 thousandths). Silver pieces are made from Law Silver (925 hypoallergenic thousandths). All articles bear an incorporated hallmark seal. Precious metals are exclusively gold, silver and platinum that, for their commercialization, tend to be mixed with other metals (alloys). The term “law” regarding these objects refers to the quantity of pure precious metal that enters into an alloy. This is expressed in thousandths with a 3-digit number.

The expression ‘750 thousandths’ means that the jewel has 750 parts per 1000 of pure gold and 250 parts of other metals to create the alloy and generate the desired color of the gold. This proportion corresponds with 18 carat gold, the most commonly used quantity.

The quality of the objects manufactured with precious metals is guaranteed with hallmarks that are marks made on them with a stamp. All objects made from precious metals that are sold must bear marks from 2 different hallmarks: a) the origin hallmark that identifies the manufacturer or importer and b) the guarantee hallmark stamped by official hallmark laboratories that indicates the class of metal and the quality of the same.

Hallmark punches or stamps fulfill the function of guaranteeing the purity of each article made from gold or silver. This marking system serves to protect customers from falsifications or other adulterations, and it constitutes a secure quality control mechanism for each piece by accrediting its origin and identifying its artisan, manufacturing date and metal content and purity.

Despite the fact that ZAPATA JOYEROS makes its utmost efforts to ensure quality, it is possible that these efforts may not meet with the precise personal expectations of those who access the contents of the Website. As such, ZAPATA JOYEROS does not grant any guarantee of idealness with respect to the items offered for personal ends. ZAPATA JOYEROS stands exonerated of any responsibility in the cases where, on occasion, there are technical or human errors that bring about discrepancies or variations between the photograph, the technical description and/or the price of the item offered.

The photos of products published in this Website are examples that may not coincide with the actual size of the product or that may be represented in a smaller scale. The photos are merely for orientation, and there may be variations with regard to the physical object that should not diminish the integrity or features of the solicited product.

All of the items purchased online also come with an additional quality tag for security and satisfaction.

3. GUARANTEE

ZAPATA JOYEROS stands by the quality of its products, jewels and watches by means of its quality controls, offering all the guarantees set forth by Spanish Law.

In turn, customers are subject to the terms and conditions specified in the guarantees of product providers that are objects of sales via ZAPATA JOYEROS. These guarantees apply if and only if the product is used under the normal conditions of use determined by the providers. ZAPATA JOYEROS is not obligated to indemnify users or third parties for consequences resulting from product use, whether direct or indirect, damages, accidents suffered by persons, damages to goods unrelated to the product, profit losses, or damages stemming from product loss or deterioration.

6. DISCLAIMER

The maximum period allowed for making returns and exercising rights of refund on a purchase exclusively for the Online Purchase and Barcelona Express Purchase features is 14 calendar days from the time the order is received.

The right of disclaimer will not be permitted if: a) it involves the purchase of precious metal subject to fluctuating market prices; b) the item is not returned with the security tag intact along with the original packaging or case and any instructions for us or guarantees; c) the merchandise has been used, altered or is not in perfect condition; d) an item has been custom ordered, personalized, engraved or otherwise fit exclusively for the customer’s own specifications; e) the purchase receipt is not included; and f) the disclaimer document attached with the shipment is not filled out or an unequivocal declaration of disclaimer is not delivered with the return.

Upon receiving the product, the purchaser must verify the existence and condition of the security tag and, without removing it, check carefully to ensure the item received matches the item ordered.
