This Agreement sets the terms and condition under which you will rent and/or buy jewelry or other accessories owned by Breath of Jewelry (each a “Product” or collectively, “Products”), receive related services and submit information to us via the website located at Breathofjewls.com (the “Website”).
All rentals and purchases are subject to the following Terms and Conditions. Please review thoroughly before accepting the Terms and Conditions. “Breath of Jewelry”, “BOJ”, “we”, “us” or “our” means Bartolini Inc., doing business as Breath of Jewelry, and/or its legal affiliates; “you” or “your'' refers to the client renting the jewelry.

By using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Terms, and other content and agreements governing your use of the Services, including our Privacy Policy.
These general rental conditions set out how Breath of Jewelry offers its subscription and limited rentals for jewelry. Breath of Jewelry may change its policy from time to time by updating this page. You should periodically check this page to ensure that you are happy with any changes.
SUBSCRIPTION MEMBERSHIP: A member is charged a monthly membership fee (“Membership Fee”), in exchange for which he or she can rent a Product or Products for the duration of his or her membership. We offer several membership plans you may avail of. Your membership plan dictates your Membership Fee and the number of Products you can rent at any one time.
ELIGIBILITY. Only adults over the age of 18 may become Members and only Members may rent or purchase Products. Our Products may be rented by a Member for use by other individuals, including an individual under the age of 18. However, the renting Member remains fully responsible for other individuals’ use of the Products or Services, including all legal liability he or she may incur. If you are under 18 years of age, you may only use the Services with the approval of your parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
DELIVERY OF JEWELRY: Shipping is based on 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). 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, for special occasion rentals 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 event 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 the designated courier 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.
RETURN SHIPPING: The jewelry must be repackaged in its BOJ jewelry box and placed into its corresponding BOJ jewelry packer box. Each jewelry box being returned must then be placed and sealed in the pre-paid / pre-addressed shipping package included with the initial shipment. The package may then be sent for return to any USPS Office or Store in your area. We prepay the shipping charges, 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.
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).
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.
RETURNS. Start date for your rental term will be the day you receive your package, return date shall be on the day after the end of your rental term, a due for return notice shall be sent to you via email and/or text on the last day of your rental which will prompt you to ship back items the following day.
BACKGROUND AND CREDIT CHECK: You understand investigative consumer reports may be obtained in connection with your placing a jewelry rental 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 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. You acknowledge this information may be used to make rental decisions, including but not limited to adjustments in the security deposit amount required up to 50% of the retail value of the jewelry being rented as a condition of jewelry shipment or cancellation of the order, 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% 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. 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: Breath of Jewelry will retain title to all rented jewelry 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 Retail Value of the jewelry. 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 equal to 50% 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 50% 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.
