If We do not receive an e-mail or phone call from You within this period, the Jewelry will be processed (i.e., melting and/or refining) and, accordingly, will not be recoverable.

We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion and with notice to You, to reject any inbound package that appears to have been tampered with prior to delivery. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, any inbound package that we reject will not be deemed to have been “received” by Us.
