Your use of this Website constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). We reserve the right to update or modify this agreement, at any time, without prior notice.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use this Website.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

By accessing NeofotisAndCo.com (“Website”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. Our digital gallery, estate collections, and services are intended solely for residents within the continental United States who are at least eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under the age of 18 or located outside the continental United States, you must exit this site immediately. By using this Website, you warrant that you meet these eligibility criteria.

2. Proprietary Rights and Content Protection

All content on this Website—including jewelry designs, archival photography, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and the overall look and feel of the digital experience—is the sole intellectual property of Neofotis & Co. (“the Company”) and its licensors.

  • Personal Use: You are granted a limited license to view, download, and print content solely for your personal, non-commercial, and informational use.
  • Prohibited Use: You may not modify, reproduce, distribute, display, or create derivative works from our jewelry designs, archival descriptions, or photography without our prior express written consent.
3. Standards of Conduct and AI Crawling Restrictions

You agree to use our Website strictly for lawful purposes. You are expressly prohibited from using automated systems, scripts, scrapers, crawlers, or data-harvesting tools to ingest, extract, or index our proprietary jewelry designs, imagery, or descriptions. Any use of our content for the training, testing, or development of generative artificial intelligence models or derivative machine-learning tools is strictly forbidden.

4. Orders, Product Authenticity and Inventory
  • Estate and Vintage Nature: Many items showcased in our collections are unique, one-of-a-kind estate, antique, or vintage pieces. While we endeavor to describe condition, provenance, sizing, and details with exact precision, natural wear consistent with age is to be expected.
  • Color and Renderings: We strive to display the finishes and colors of our jewelry accurately; however, monitor calibrations vary, and we cannot guarantee that your display will render textures or stone colors identically to the physical artifact.
  • Pricing and Typographical Errors: In the event that an item is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical or system error, we reserve the right to cancel or refuse any orders placed for that item, even if the order has been confirmed and payment processed (in which case a full refund will be promptly issued).
5. Shipping Territory and Anti-Reselling Policy
  • Territory: We fulfill and deliver orders to physical street addresses within the continental United States (the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia). We do not ship to freight forwarders, PO boxes, or addresses outside this territory.
  • Personal Use Only: Merchandise offered through our digital home is intended exclusively for personal use and collection. Suspected resale for commercial profit is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to decline or cancel orders exhibiting reselling indicators (e.g., bulk quantities, recurring dealer transactions, or forwarding addresses) and to restrict future transactions from associated accounts.
6. Shipping, Delivery and Risk of Loss

All shipments are subject to our Shipping Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. Title and risk of loss for all physical items pass to you upon our delivery of the merchandise to the designated carrier (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx). We are not responsible for delays caused by the carrier, weather events, or incorrect shipping details provided at checkout.

7. Returns, Refunds and Condition of Items

Purchases are subject to our Return and Refund Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. Due to the rare and unique nature of estate, antique, and vintage jewelry, all returns must strictly adhere to the conditions, timeframes, and security-tagging requirements set forth in that policy.

8. Third-Party Links and WooPayments

Our Website integrates with trusted third-party providers (including WooPayments, Stripe, and SiteGround) and may provide external links for your convenience. Neofotis & Co. does not control or assume liability for the practices, products, or privacy policies of third-party platforms.

9. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

This Website and all items sold through it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Neofotis & Co. disclaims all warranties (including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose) and shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your purchase or use of the Website shall not exceed the actual purchase price paid for the specific item in dispute.

10. Governing Law and Mandatory Arbitration

These Terms are governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or purchases made through the Website shall be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration conducted in Rockbridge County, Virginia. You and Neofotis & Co. mutually agree to waive any right to initiate, join, or participate in class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, or representative proceedings.

11. Account Termination and Order Cancellation

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to our Website and to cancel pending orders at our sole discretion, without prior notice, if we determine that you have breached these Terms or engaged in conduct detrimental to the security, integrity, or reputation of Neofotis & Co.
