Availability and Pricing.
All products offered for sale are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order or reject all or any part of an order without prior notice.

Taxes.
You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, duty, customs or other governmental taxes, levies or fees (“Taxes”) due with respect to your purchase of products or services through our Services. We will collect applicable Taxes if we determine we have a duty to collect Taxes. We will present an estimate of Taxes we collect at checkout, except where we have clearly stated in writing that a price includes Taxes. The actual Taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. We are not required to, and do not, collect Taxes in all states. You may have a duty to directly report and pay Taxes if we do not collect such Taxes.
Payment.
Only valid payment methods acceptable to us may be used to complete a purchase via the Services. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your designated payment method.

Shipping; Risk of Loss.
You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the changes applicable to you before you make your purchase. Any delivery dates or times shown as part of the checkout process are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Unless we state otherwise in writing via the Services, risk of loss or damage to a product passes to you upon delivery of the product to our designated carrier.
Errors.
In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct the error and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU INSOFAR AS THEY RELATE TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES APPLIES ONLY TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND DOES NOT APPLY TO VITAJUWEL PRODUCTS. INFORMATION CONCERNING THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR VITAJUWEL PRODUCTS CAN BE FOUND BELOW IN SECTION B.
INFORMATION ON PRODUCTS
CRYSTAL HEALING SHOULD BE USED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS PART OF A HOLISTIC TREATMENT PLAN. IT IS NOT MEANT TO TAKE THE PLACE OF STANDARD MEDICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT, BUT TO ACCOMPANY & WORK ALONGSIDE IT. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS METAPHYSICAL IN NATURE & DOES NOT CLAIM TO HEAL OR CURE.
VITAJUWEL HAS CONDUCTED A NUMBER OF TESTS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE EFFECT OF OUR PRODUCTS ON WATER. THESE TESTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY INTERNATIONAL LABS. WHEREAS THESE TESTS HAVE BEEN MADE UNDER CERTIFIED CONDITIONS, RESULTS HAVE VARIED. AT TIMES THE PH VALUE HAS EVEN STAYED UNCHANGED. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NOT TWO GEMS THE SAME. APPLYING SCIENTIFIC MEASURES ON NATURAL PRODUCTS ALMOST NECESSARILY LEADS TO VARYING RESULTS
13. Limitation of Liability
The VitaJuwel Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental or special damages arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or our Services (including the products purchased via our Services), even if VitaJuwel or the other VitaJuwel Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
The total liability of the VitaJuwel Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to any product purchased via the Services will not exceed the greater of $100 or the purchase price of that product. For all other claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, the total liability of VitaJuwel Parties is limited to $100.
The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for personal injury or property damage caused by a product you purchased via the Services or the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional, willful, or reckless misconduct of the VitaJuwel Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
14. Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release the VitaJuwel Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, or damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
15. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with VitaJuwel and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except as specified in Section 16(f) below, you and VitaJuwel waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. The arbitration will be held in the county in which you reside, provided that if the claim is for $25,000 or less, either you or VitaJuwel may choose to conduct the arbitration through a telephonic hearing. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and VitaJuwel agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and VitaJuwel and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and VitaJuwel agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"). As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and VitaJuwel agree that for any arbitration you initiate, the party filing the claim will pay the filing fee and the parties will split the remaining JAMS fees and costs. You and VitaJuwel agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Utah and the United States sitting in Summit County, Utah have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and VITAJUWEL will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 16 by emailing legal@VitaJuwel.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 17.
This Section 15 will not apply to (i) small claims disputes in which you or VitaJuwel may seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or (ii) disputes in which you or VitaJuwel seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property.
16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Contra Costa County, California.
17. Export Compliance
All or part of our Services or the products purchased via our Services may be subject to U.S. export control, customs or economic sanctions laws (“Export Controls”). You agree to comply with all Export Controls as they relate to your receipt and use of our Services and the products purchased via our Services. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
18. Government Users
This section applies only if you are acting on or behalf of an agency of the U.S. government. If acquired by any agency of the U.S. government, such agency acknowledges that: (a) any software obtained in connection with the Services (such as our mobile apps) constitute “commercial computer software” or “commercial computer software documentation” for purposes of 48 C.F.R. §12.212 and 48 C.F.R. §227.7202, as applicable; and (b) such agency's rights are limited to those specifically granted under these Terms.
19. Termination
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use our Services or to discontinue all or a part of the Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
20. Miscellaneous
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and any applicable Additional Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and VitaJuwel relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of VitaJuwel to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
21. Changes to Terms
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending an email notification, providing notice through our Services, or posting the amended Terms to our Services and updating the “Last Updated” date above.

C. LIMITED WARRANTY
Since 2013, VitaJuwel has been committed to offering the finest products, using only the best materials and applying strict quality control standards. VitaJuwel products are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 12 months from date of purchase. Our warranty is an expression of our confidence in the material and workmanship of our company's products, and assures unsurpassed quality for dependable glass products. This, however, is not a guarantee against normal wear and tear. Nor does it apply to product that has been damaged by misuse, neglect, accident, modification or unauthorized repair or product purchased from an unauthorized dealer or seller.
Bear in mind that most of our products are hand-made and contain semi-precious stones. Those stones – being natural products – vary in size, shape and color. Hand-crafted products like our Gemstone Vials vary slightly in size. The product you purchased will not look exactly as the one depicted on the pages of this website and might not be of the exact same size as your friend’s VitaJuwel product. These variations do not qualify as a product defect.
Due to these variations in the manufacturing process, it might be possible that one or more of the stones get stuck in the stem of the Gemstone Vial or the Gemstone Droplet. That does not impact the usability of the product and does also not qualify as a manufacturing defect.
If you believe your product is defective, please send an email with a description of the defect, a close-up photo and a purchase receipt to contact@vitajuwel.com. Our support team will get back to you as soon as possible to guide you through the next steps.
If, upon inspection, we determine that the product is defective, we reserve the right to replace the product or issue you a credit, depending on the nature of the defect. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
