K&M will not file an accessible copy of each version of these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Normally, it takes 3-5 working days for standard delivery and 1-2 working days for delivery by express courier for available items, provided payment is received before 3:00 PM on the day the order is made. In any event, delivery shall be made within 30 days of receipt of the Shipment Confirmation Email. Deliveries are made only in Italy. K&M reserves the right to substitute the courier assigned to deliver the order. If an express courier is requested, please select that delivery method when ordering.  Each delivery shall be preceded by its invoice sent by email. If the customer, for no apparent reason, postpones delivery or delays the receipt of a delivery after K&M has given notice that delivery of the items ordered by the customer was attempted, or if the customer provided an incorrect delivery address leading to delivery failure, the parcel will be returned to K&M. At that point, K&M will be relieved of its obligation to deliver the items within the delivery period. Orders are filled with shipping by BRT (standard and express delivery). A signature will be required for delivery. If no one is available to sign for the delivery, the parcel will be returned to the warehouse and a delivery notice will be left, with BRT contact numbers and details, in the recipient’s mailbox. BRT will try to deliver the parcel a second time on the next working day. If the package is not delivered on the second attempt, the BRT delivery person will leave a notice with BRT contact numbers and details so that recipients may organize delivery based on their requirements. Please note that the parcel to be delivered will remain available at the BRT warehouse for 10 working days after the first delivery attempt. K&M shall not be liable for delay or non-delivery if said delay or non-delivery is caused by circumstances beyond K&M’s control, including but not limited to acts of war or terrorism, strikes, states of emergency at a national or local level, failure of transport infrastructure, power or other utility outages, earthquakes or other natural disasters, postponements or delays in delivery caused by the recipient. 

8. Product Availability

If the product that the customer wishes to order is no longer available, the customer will be technically prevented from carrying out the ordering process. Furthermore, in a few exceptional and unpredictable cases, a product indicated on the website as available may no longer be available after the order has been placed. If this occurs, the contract between the customer and K&M will NOT be concluded. The customer will then be notified and the product will not be included in the Shipment Confirmation Email that will be sent to the customer. If payment is made prior to confirmation that the product is not available, (e.g. PayPal), K&M will refund the sums paid by the customer as quickly as possible and in any event within thirty days of K&M's notification that the product was not available. 

9. Compatibility and Product Information

At the time of the order, the customer should verify that the products purchased are compatible with their intended use. Please, use the KEEP ME JEWELS website as a final reference when checking compatibility. If there are any discrepancies between the content of the KEEP ME JEWELS website and any other website (or any other information source), the product compatibility indicated on the KEEP ME JEWELS website at the time of purchase shall prevail. Please, note that due to the limitations of on-screen reproduction, the exact colour, size and design of the items shown on a computer display may differ from the actual product features. If the products the customer has received do not match those ordered, if a delivery is incomplete, or if the products are damaged during shipping, please, contact the K&M Customer Service Centre immediately, by email or telephone, for assistance. 

10. Product Ownership

Ownership of the product and all related risks are transferred from K&M to the customer upon receipt of the product. 

11. Withdrawal within the prescribed period, Returns and Refunds

Policy on exercising the right to withdraw within the prescribed time limit - For customers in Italy
Right of withdrawal - Right to withdraw. The customer has 14 (fourteen) days to withdraw from the contract with K&M for the item/s purchased on the KEEP ME JEWELS website. No explanation is required. The customer must make a clear, unambiguous statement using the Withdrawal Statement Form available on the website, sent by letter or email.
The fourteen-day period commences when the item purchased on the KEEP ME JEWELS website is received or, if a contract for delivery of more than one item is in effect, from the time the last item in that contract is received or, in the case of recurring deliveries of similar items, not before receipt of the first part of the delivery, and not before K&M has fulfilled its reporting obligations. To meet the fourteen-day deadline, transmission of the Withdrawal Statement is sufficient. The Statement must be sent to: K&M srl, via Paolo Soprani, 2 - 60022 Castelfidardo (AN), or by email to: info@keepme.it Legal consequences of withdrawal In case of valid withdrawal, with the obligations met and compensation obtained, e.g. interest, the products must be returned within 14 (fourteen) days. If, with the obligations met and the compensation obtained, e.g. benefits arising from use, the products cannot be returned, or can only be returned in part or only in a deteriorated condition, the customer will be required to compensate K&M accordingly. The customer is obligated to compensate K&M for product deterioration and compensation obtained only to the extent that the product's compensation or deterioration was caused by an act not dependent on verification of the product’s properties or function. “Verification of the product’s properties or function” means acceptance testing and assessment of the respective product’s features as would be possible and normal in a retail shop (not online). Items that can be sent as a parcel must be returned as a parcel. The costs and risks of return shipment will be borne by K&M, if the customer uses BRT, K&M's logistics partner, to manage the return. If the customer chooses to return the item using a different method, the costs and risks of shipping the return shall be borne by the customer. The obligation to reimburse the amount paid (including initial delivery costs) shall be met within 14 (fourteen) days using the same payment method used by the customer when the order was placed. For the customer, the fourteen-day period starts on the date the Withdrawal Statement is sent. For K&M, this period starts on the date the Withdrawal Statement is received. Nevertheless, the customer may only assert his or her right to a refund once K&M has received the returned item or if proof can be provided that the item was returned within the fourteen-day period.  Exceptions to exercising the right to withdraw within the prescribed time limit The right of withdrawal will not be valid for custom items manufactured to the customer’s specifications or those clearly adapted to meet the customer’s personal needs. 
End of the policy on exercising the right to withdraw within the prescribed time limit
Returns and Claims Policy Without prejudice to the customer’s right to withdraw from the purchase, if, for any reason, the customer is not completely satisfied with the purchase made on KEEP ME JEWELS, the customer may return any item purchased on KEEP ME JEWELS within 30 days of receipt of the article and obtain a full refund of the purchase price (excluding the initial delivery costs).  If all items purchased are returned, the return shipping costs shall be borne by K&M, if the customer uses BRT, K&M's logistics partner, for the return shipping. If the customer chooses to return only part of the purchase and/or articles using a different method, the cost of shipping the return shall be borne by the customer. For the return of items purchased according to this additional right to return, the customer should contact the K&M Customer Service Centre by email or ordinary post sent to the address K&M srl, Via Paolo Soprani, 2 - 60022 Castelfidardo (An) or by telephone, and request authorization to return product using a Return Form, according to the return procedure. If the customer does not return the product, according to this additional right to return, K&M reserves the right to directly charge for the costs incurred to ensure the return is completed. K&M reserves the right to request compensation from the customer for those products returned that are damaged or have been used. Once K&M has received and approved the articles to be returned, K&M shall confirm the receipt of those products to the customer by email, and shall make reimbursement, which will also be confirmed by email. K&M shall provide for the reimbursement, as a general principle, within thirty (30) days after receiving the customer’s email, except during the Christmas Holiday and other high volume periods. If the customer wishes to return more than one product received in the same shipment, those product/s must be returned together in a single shipment, which will not be subject to shipping charges.  K&M may also propose the following optional alternatives to the customer’s exercising the right to reimbursement:
The exercise of these rights is optional and is subject to the customer's express discretion and consent. 

12. Guarantees and Legal Rights

The customer shall be covered by a legal warranty of the articles purchased that are found to be defective. In such cases, the customer may:
The purchased item is free from significant defects if, when delivered, it has the agreed quality. To the extent that no quality has been agreed, the purchased item shall be deemed free from significant defects if:  1. it is suitable for the use for which it was intended under the contract; and/or   2. it is suitable for the normal use for which it was intended, its quality is that normally found in articles of the same type, and the buyer can expect this quality given the type of article. The term “quality” includes those characteristics that the buyer can expect based on statements made publicly by the seller, manufacturer or his representative about the specific features of the purchased item. This includes but is not limited to, advertising or identifying material, unless the seller was not aware of those statements and was not even required to be aware of them, if, at the time of the execution of the contract, the quality was changed, but remained at the same level, or if that change was not significant for the decision to purchase the article. K&M shall bear all expenses necessary to remedy the defect, specifically, shipping, staff travel, and labour and materials costs. K&M may refuse to implement a remedy chosen by the user, if it is only possible at a disproportionate cost. In this context, specific consideration shall be given to, by way of example but not limited to, the value of the defect-free article, the extent of the defect and the possibility of recourse to alternative remedies without causing substantial damage to the customer. In this case, the claim shall be restricted to the alternative remedy. K&M's right to refuse the alternative remedy shall also remain, notwithstanding the requirements in sentence 1 above. If K&M provides a defect-free article as remedy, K&M may request that the defective article be returned. The customer has the right to make a claim against the defect of the purchased item only if the defect is reported to K&M immediately after it has been detected, or immediately after it might reasonably be detected. Reports of defects made within two months of their discovery are still considered timely. Legal disputes, based on facts that justify the non-conformity of the purchased item with the contract, are time-barred after two years from the date of the claim. This is notwithstanding the customer’s right to request a price reduction or compensation for damages, as an exception in legal actions aimed at obtaining payment of the price of the purchased items.  Customers should keep their order/invoice confirmation or send it to the gift recipient as original proof of purchase giving them title to the warranty.
Attaching counterfeit or other brand charms on the KEEP ME JEWELS bracelet may damage the exclusive processing system. K&M shall not be liable, under warranty or otherwise, for defects caused by such use. 

13. Responsibilities

In particular, K&M shall not be obligated to guarantee that the products are suitable for the user’s purposes.  Nothing in these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be construed as excluding or limiting K&M's statutory liability for death or personal injury caused intentionally by K&M or its employees fault, for damages caused intentionally by K&M or its employees’ gross negligence, nor shall it limit any essential rights or obligations inherent in the nature of the contract, insofar as the achievement of the purpose of the contract might be compromised, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law. K&M shall have no contractual, extra-contractual or other liability for loss of assets (including, but not limited to, loss of profits, revenues, contracts, expected business or savings), loss of data, loss of goodwill or reputation or loss or damage of any kind, or for claims by the customer and/or third parties, except as expressly provided for herein. This is also except for damages arising from K&M's liability for death or personal injury caused intentionally by K&M or through the fault of K&M or its employees, for damages caused intentionally by K&M or through gross negligence on the part of K&M or its employees, and except for those acts which limit the essential rights or obligations inherent in the nature of the contract, insofar as the achievement of the purpose of the contract is compromised. 

14. Severability

If any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Sale are deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such provision shall be deemed divisible from these Terms and Conditions of Sale and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
