LEASE TERMS & CONDITIONS



READ THESE LEASE TERMS & CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

All rentals are subject to the following Terms and Conditions. Please review thoroughly before accepting the Terms and Conditions. “We”, “us” or “our” means The Adorn Group, Inc. doing business as Adorn, and/or its legal affiliates; “you” or “your” refers to the client leasing the jewelry.

EVENT DATE. The desired starting date submitted with your rental order should be your wedding date. The jewelry will be shipped to arrive at least one day before your wedding date and in most cases two days before your wedding date. Because of shipping times and limited weekend delivery options, all jewelry will be shipped to arrive during the business week (Monday – Friday) in most casees by 10:30am.

RESERVATION PAYMENT:  A payment for the total rental price of the jewelry will be charged to your credit card account at the time you place your reservation. Please note that 25% of this payment is non-refundable.

RETURN DATE.  The Return Date is the date you deliver the jewelry to UPS as described in this paragraph. Unless otherwise authorized by Adorn, the Return Date is always the first business day following your event. The jewelry must be re-packaged in its Adorn jewelry box and placed into its corresponding Adorn jewelry packer box. The jewelry box(es) must then be placed and sealed in the pre-paid / pre-addressed shipping package included with the initial shipment. The package may then be presented for overnight shipment to any UPS Office or UPS Store in your area for return shipment. Remember to request a receipt for proof that you delivered the package, without the receipt you can be held responsible if it does not get delivered. We prepay the to/from shipping, including delivery insurance, and the cost is reflected in the transaction amount that will be charged to your credit card. You are not required to purchase insurance from UPS and, for security reasons, you should not discuss the contents of the package with UPS personnel.

LATE FEES. If you do not deliver the jewelry item for return shipment by the required Return Date, late fees will be assessed as to that item as follows:

  • One (1) Day Late – 20% of the rental fee for that item will be added to the total fees
  • Two (2) to Seven (7) Days Late – 100% of the rental fee for that item will be added to the total fees
  • Eight (8) to Fourteen (14) Days Late – 200% of the rental fee for that item will be added to the total fees.
  • Over Fourteen (14) Days Late – Liquidated Damages apply (see “Liquidated Damages” below).

Late fees will be charged to your credit card account in addition to all other applicable fees. You agree and acknowledge that the late fees provided for by this paragraph are intended as compensation to us, and are not intended to be a punishment or penalty, because the damages that we would suffer by way of late return are incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation because of factors including, without limitation, our recovery of anticipated profits, our loss of sales and reputation due to unavailability of items, fluctuations in the value of gems and precious metals, and changes in our insurance rates. You further agree and acknowledge that (i) our ability to make jewelry available for rent to other customers depends greatly on our ability to secure return of that jewelry by the second business day following your event, as return after such date may prevent us from having sufficient time to clean, repair and re-ship the jewelry to the next customer; (ii) because of that lack of time we cannot commit to have jewelry available to upcoming customers until such time as the jewelry is in our possession and capable of cleaning (and where applicable, repair) for upcoming events; and, (iii) that while we may be able to re-ship jewelry on a rush basis if it is returned by the third business day following your event, jewelry returned on the fourth business day after your event, or later, cannot be processed and re-shipped in time for the upcoming weekend. For the foregoing reasons, you agree with us that the amounts reflected in the schedule of late fees above are a reasonable forecast of just compensation to us in the event of late return. Further, if any jewelry items are not returned within fourteen (14) days after the Return Date, as liquidated damages for your failure to timely return the item(s) we will have the right to charge your credit card account as provided under “Liquidated Damages” below.

BACKGROUND AND CREDIT CHECK:  You understand investigative consumer reports may be obtained in connection with your placing a jewelry The Adorn Group, Inc. order. We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with your personal information. For example, we may receive credit information from a national credit bureau when you initially place an order or at a later point in time prior to shipment of your order.  You understand these reports may contain information about your background, to include but not limited to criminal and credit history.  The information may be obtained from Federal, State and Local government agencies or other private databases.  You acknowledge this information may be used to make The Adorn Group, Inc. decisions, including but not limited to adjustements in the security deposit form or amount required up to 50% of the retail value of the jewelry being rented as a condition of jewelry shipment, all at our sole discretion.

SECURITY DEPOSITS:  To help protect us against loss, damages or theft of the jewelry, we require a Security Deposit approximating 5 - 10% of the retail value of all jewelry items rented. We do reserve the right to require up to 50% of the retail value at our sole discretion. Clients will be notified if an increase in their Security Deposit is required. If you do not agree to the increase in your security deposit we will cancel your order and you will receive a full refund. The retail value of the jewelry, and therefore the amount of the Security Deposit, will be determined by us in our sole discretion and will be reserved against your credit card, but will be released upon return of the jewelry in the same condition as when delivered to us as provided in these Terms & Conditions. Any late fees/damage fees/additional fees or charges due us as provided in these Terms & Conditions will be charged to your credit card upon our receipt of the jewelry or the expiration of eight (8) days after the Return Date, whichever is earlier.

If you do not have enough credit available on your credit card account to allow the reserve to for the Security Deposit to be applied, we will regard the order cancelled as set forth under “Cancellation” below.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. We do not offer product for sale. Title to the jewelry shall remain in Adorn at all times except as specifically provided in this paragraph. We will prepay shipping insurance for delivery to and from you and we’ll provide insurance for loss or damage while the jewelry is in your custody.  The insurance of the jewelry while in your custody will be subject to a deductable of 33% of the current Retail Value of the jewelry as stated on the Adorn website at the time of shipment. Any claims against the insurance coverage for damage or loss while in your custody is subject to adherence to our Insurance Claim Filing process which may require filing of police reports and/or other legal affidavits.  If any of the jewelry is damaged during this period, you will be responsible for the damage as provided under “Damage to Jewelry” below. If any of the jewelry is lost, stolen it is subject to the Insurance Claims Filing process.  If it is returned other than within fourteen (14) days of the Return Date for any reason under these Terms & Conditions, as Liquidated Damages we will have the right to charge your credit card account an amount up to 100% of the Retail Value attributable to each such item plus any due rental fees, shipping fees and taxes. If we exercise our right to require payment of up to 100% of the retail value of any item due to failure to timely return that item, we will waive all applicable late fees and damage fees otherwise chargeable with respect to those items, we will refuse return of the item(s) in question, and you will acquire title in such item(s) from us. You agree and acknowledge that the Liquidated Damages provided for by this paragraph are intended as compensation to us, and are not intended to be a punishment or penalty, because the damages that we would suffer by way of failure to return our items other than within fourteen (14) days after the Return Date are incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation because of factors including, without limitation, our recovery of anticipated profits, our loss of sales and reputation due to unavailability of items, fluctuations in the value of gems and precious metals, and changes in our insurance rates or the availability of insurance coverage. For the foregoing reasons, you agree with us that the amounts fixed above are a reasonable forecast of just compensation to us in the event of failure to return the items other than within fourteen (14) days after the Return Date. If debts are not able to be collected normally and it is collected through the use of a collection agency, an attorney, or through other legal proceedings, you agree to pay all reasonable costs or fees, including attorney fees and court costs, incurred in connection with such collection effort.

CARE OF THE JEWELRY. We will inspect and clean every piece of jewelry before delivery to you. While in your possession, we expect you to handle the jewelry with the utmost of care.

DAMAGE TO JEWELRY. Even though you are renting jewelry, you acknowledge that each item of jewelry rented from us is a high value item and you covenant to treat it as if you own it. Our rental rate assumes a minimal amount of wear which may occur with a rental use consistent with wearing high quality jewelry to a formal event. Unusual wear or any damage, abnormal dirt or foreign substances on any item of jewelry will give us the right to charge your credit card account for the cost of repair or cleaning or up to 50% of the full Retail Value attributable to that item of jewelry. The amount to be charged is left to our sole discretion based on our assessment of the damage.

SHIPPING. Shipping is based on next-day shipping from our facility to your designated point of delivery, and the return to our facility from that area. Your designated point of delivery should be your office or home address or other address where you are assured that someone trustworthy will be present to sign for and receive delivery of the jewelry item(s). We prepay the to/from shipping, including delivery insurance, and the cost is reflected in the transaction amount that will be charged to your credit card. When returned by you, the jewelry must be re-packaged in its Adorn jewelry box and placed into its corresponding Adorn jewelry packer box. The jewelry box(es) must then be placed and sealed in the pre-paid / pre-addressed shipping package included with the initial shipment. The package may then be presented for shipment to any UPS Office or UPS Store in your area for return shipment. You are not required to purchase insurance from UPS and, for security reasons, you should not discuss the contents of the package with UPS personnel.

DELIVERY OF JEWELRY.  A signature is required for delivery or pickup of the jewelry. Any refused or returned deliveries will be processed as a completed rental transaction, with the full rental and other fees assessed.

Every effort is made to deliver the jewelry to your designated valid address no later than the day before your event date. In most cases, we will plan to ship your jewelry to arrive two days prior to your event. In any case, we will notify you by e-mail to confirm your projected delivery date the day we ship it to you. If through our fault the jewelry is not delivered at least one day before your wedding date, we will return all rental fees and, upon return of the jewelry as provided above, return your Security Deposit. The return of these amounts will be our sole liability to you in the event of non-timely delivery or non-delivery; in no event will we be liable for any other damages whatsoever including without limitation direct, indirect, special or consequential damages. If we timely deliver the jewelry to UPS with delivery pre-paid for delivery to you at least one day prior to the Event Date, any late delivery or non-delivery will be deemed to be not our fault and we shall have no liability under this paragraph. Further, non-availability of items, even where reserved, shall be deemed to be not our fault.

Applicable use or other transaction taxes imposed on you in connection with your order or The Adorn Group, Inc. of the jewelry are solely your responsibility to report and pay.

LIABILITY. You recognize and acknowledge that having valuable jewelry in your possession or use can be inherently dangerous and unpredictable. We are not responsible for any accidents or harm that may arise from your possession or use of our jewelry, and in addition to our other rights and remedies pursuant to these Terms & Conditions, you hereby agree to indemnify us from any claims, charges or costs arising from your possession or use of our jewelry or any related activities.
