Terms of Service
Welcome to AETHER, a jewelry brand owned and operated by HKS Technology Limited. HKS Technology Limited is the legal company responsible for operating aetherpieces.com. These Terms of Service govern use of the website and purchases made through it. By placing an order, you agree to the terms presented at checkout, subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. For order-related questions, contact [email protected].
1. Eligibility and Website Use
You agree to use this website lawfully, provide accurate information when placing an order, and refrain from interfering with its operations or attempting unauthorized access. You must have legal capacity to enter a purchase agreement in your jurisdiction or act with any consent legally required.
2. Products and Descriptions
We aim to describe products accurately, including their materials, dimensions, and care information. Product appearance may vary slightly due to lighting and device displays. If an item is materially different from its description, applicable consumer rights are unaffected.
3. Prices, Shipping and Taxes
Prices are displayed in the currency shown on the site or at checkout. Eligible U.S. orders have an $8 standard shipping rate, with free standard shipping for eligible orders of $100 or more; international shipping, where offered, is priced at checkout. Applicable taxes, shipping fees, and other payable charges are displayed before payment. Pricing and promotions may change for future orders, but do not alter a completed order except as permitted by law.
4. Placing and Accepting Orders
Submitting an order creates a request to purchase the selected items. We send an order acknowledgment by email. We may contact you about inventory or payment problems and may refuse or cancel orders for lawful reasons, such as suspected fraud, inaccurate pricing, or unavailability. Any refunds owed for canceled orders will be processed appropriately.
5. Payments
Available payment methods appear at checkout. HKS Technology Limited operates the AETHER brand and its website. Depending on the payment provider, the transaction or bank-statement descriptor may refer to HKS Technology Limited or a name identified during checkout rather than AETHER. Check the checkout disclosures and receipt for the merchant and payment details. If a charge is unfamiliar, contact [email protected]. We do not ask customers to send full payment-card details by email.
6. Shipping
Shipping processing, estimated transit times, destinations, tracking, and delivery concerns are described in our Shipping Policy. Delivery estimates are not guaranteed unless specifically agreed otherwise, and mandatory customer protections apply.
7. Returns, Care, and 2-Year Warranty
Returns and exchanges are governed by our Returns & Exchanges Policy. Eligible jewelry purchased on aetherpieces.com includes a 2-year limited craftsmanship warranty against manufacturing defects (such as faulty clasps, structural failure, or loose settings under normal use and recommended care). Warranty coverage excludes standard wear and tear, scratches, accidental damage, mishandling, unauthorized alterations, or failure to follow our published care guidelines. Remediations are determined upon inspection and subject to non-waivable statutory rights.
8. Accounts and Security
You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and notifying us of suspected unauthorized use. We may suspend accounts or orders where reasonably necessary to protect the site and customers, consistent with applicable law.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise noted, website text, photography, designs, graphics, and trademarks are owned by or licensed to their respective rights holders. You may use the site for personal shopping purposes but may not reproduce or exploit protected materials without permission or another lawful basis.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
Some services, such as payment pages, shipment tracking, or externally linked websites, may be provided by third parties. Their services may have separate terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for third-party content to the extent permitted by law.
11. Disclaimers and Liability
We aim to keep this website accurate and available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free content. Any exclusions or limitations of liability apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law; they do not limit non-excludable statutory remedies for consumers, fraud, or other liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Disputes and Applicable Law
Please contact [email protected] first if you have concerns about an order. Any disputes will be handled in accordance with applicable law, including consumer protections that cannot be waived. We will not use these Terms to deprive consumers of protections that cannot lawfully be waived.
