3. Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

3.1 Users may place orders for Goods, which Gemsforhealing may accept or reject. Whether or not Gemsforhealing  accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Gemsforhealing for the Goods.

3.2 Placing Goods in a wishlist or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold Gemsforhealing liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.

3.3 Gemsforhealing will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after you have placed an order, Gemsforhealing will refund of the amount already paid by you for such Goods. 

3.3.1 If we accidentally miss a product that you ordered, please notify us and we will refund the purchase price of the product. We will not resend the product, but will refund you the purchase price of the missed product if it is determined that it has actually been missed by us.

3.4 NOTE: Gemsforhealing will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and Gemsforhealing come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Gemsforhealing  stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Gemsforhealing will indicate the rejection of your order (by Gemsforhealing) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

3.5 We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid.

3.6 When purchasing crystals from Gemsforhealing, please note that the images we have on our website represent the quality & sizing you can expect to receive, not the actual stones as seen in image. Each stone is unique & one of a kind so there will be variations in colour and shape. We often add more than one item on the picture so that you as client can see the difference that might be found in that item, this does not mean you get all items in the picture, unless it specifically says that it is a set. Some stone products including chip & bead products are selected at random and may differ from picture (this excludes specimens, balls, eggs, free form stones, & stone points & sterling silver jewelry).

3.7 Crystals and salt lamps are naturally formed and often have imperfections and veins that look like faults but are not. Selenite pieces are salt which will dissolve if placed in water, and often have imperfections and veins that look like faults but are not.

3.8 Some glass bottles used in essences, anointing oils, spiritual waters and bath foam products may differ from the picture.
