Vanessa R Williams Contemporary Jewellery reserves the right to ask you to demonstrate that you did not cause or create the fault or damage to the item.  

If you do not notify us of the fault or return the item within reasonable time, you will not be entitled to a refund of the purchase price, but you may be entitled to exchange the goods or have them repaired.
