TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions apply to the Astteria site located at www.astteria.com, and all associated websites linked to www.astteria.com by Astteria, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, including Astteria’s sites around the world. Please read these terms and conditions (the 'Terms and Conditions) carefully. BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of any purchase from Astteria and serve as an agreement between you and Astteria. Astteria reserves the right to change or modify any of these Terms and Conditions or any policy or guideline of the site at any time, and at its sole discretion. Any change or modification will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions on the site. Your continued use of the site following the posting of these changes or modifications will act as your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Therefore, you should frequently review these Terms and Conditions and any other applicable policies from time to time to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the site. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you must stop using the site.
Product Availability
On occasion, you may be able to place a product in your shopping cart and submit your order for processing, but your order is subsequently canceled due to the unavailability of a product. You acknowledge that products may sell quickly and there may be a short period after an order has been submitted when a product can suddenly become unavailable. According to these terms, you agree that we may cancel your order after you have received an Order Confirmation without penalty in such cases.
On very rare occasions, you may receive a Shipping Confirmation from us, but the product is no longer available in our or our third-party fulfillment provider's inventory. In cases such as these, you agree that we may revoke our acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if we are unable to ship the product you ordered due to its unavailability.
If you're interested in a piece of jewelry that is currently on backorder, you may call us and we can tell you when the item will be restocked. There are times, due to the high number of orders that we receive, when an item may go out of stock before we can post a notification on the Site. Should this happen, we will contact you directly to discuss alternative options.
Pricing
A great deal of effort has been made to make sure that all of the prices listed on the Astteria website are precise. However, on rare occasions, there may be instances where an error in pricing has been made as a result of a technical glitch. When this occurs, Astteria reserves the right to alter or change the product price at any time. Any and every change which appears on the site is considered applicable and effective immediately.
Similarly, the availability of our items is subject to approval as products can be acquired before there has been time to remove them from the website.
