Site Content and Product Postings

James Avery in its sole discretion, and without notice or liability to you, may update, modify, correct, or delete Site content, including, but not limited to, price changes, changes to descriptions of product, the removal of product from the website, and the addition of a limitation in the quantity of specific products that one customer may order.

James Avery strives to ensure that accurate prices are posted on the Sites but does not warrant that the price displayed is the correct price. Pricing on the Sites should always be the same as prices in any James Avery retail store, but in the event of a conflict, the price given at a James Avery retail store will prevail. Pricing is in US Dollars. Additionally, James Avery does not warrant that Site product descriptions or depictions are accurate. For example, the descriptions may contain typographical errors or the photos or depictions may be enlarged to show detail.

James Avery does not warrant that every item you view on the Site is currently available. For example, some items may be temporarily out-of-stock while other items may have been discontinued but not yet removed from the Site. There is no guarantee that items you view on one visit to the website will be available the next time that you visit the website.
