GAIA FINE JEWELS VOLUNTARY WARRANTY
Subject to the terms of this warranty, Gaia Fine Jewels offers a warranty against manufacturing defects for genuine Gaia Fine Jewels items, 6 months from the date of purchase, directly from us online and instore, as well as from our stockist.

This excludes items where the pearl does not match a photo seen in a banner, advertisement, or online website, as every pearl is individual and pearls might  appear different in shape or colour to those pictured.

Gaia Fine Jewels will only replace items where the jewellery has a defect. 

Gaia Fine Jewels will offer a replacement* or a refund whenever it's eligible to do so. If an identical replacement is not available, we will offer a replacement item of equivalent value. Certain exclusions set out below apply. All faults deemed as the result of wear and tear are not covered by this warranty.

*Note: You may have other rights and remedies (including the right to receive a refund) under the Australian Consumer Law. Depending on the relevant circumstances, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law may in some circumstances continue to apply after the end of Gaia Fine Jewels’ Warranty Period.

• Any repairs or modifications made to your Gaia Fine Jewels jewellery that are not performed by Gaia Fine Jewels will void the voluntary warranty.

Relevantly, the Australian Consumer Law contains certain statutory automatic guarantees (consumer guarantees) which provide you with a basic guaranteed/automatic level of protection when you purchase Gaia Fine Jewels jewellery in Australia.  For example, there is a consumer guarantee that our jewellery is of acceptable quality (that is, free from defects, safe, durable, acceptable in appearance/finish, and fit for wearing based on what a reasonable consumer would regard as acceptable given the type of goods, price of goods (if relevant), description/statements on packaging/labels, statements made by supplier/manufacturer about the goods and other relevant circumstances).  

If your Gaia Fine Jewels jewellery fails to comply with the applicable consumer guarantees you are entitled to certain remedies under the Australian Consumer Law. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Australian Consumer Law: Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.  Note: “major failure” has a specific meaning under the Australian Consumer Law.
