**Returns
As the majority or my items are made to order, I do not accept returns. In the circumstance where an agreement has been made, there is a 30% restocking fee, not including the cost of shipping (which is non refundable).

In a circumstance where a refund is agreeable on a missing package sent with no tracking, in the US only, the refund will not be issued for 21 days to allow time for the package to arrive.
In the event of a return, Buburuby will supply one prepaid return shipping label to be printed within 24 hours or receiving it, as they expire. The label is to be attached to the package and returned in a similar way as it was received. If the label expires, or the package is not shipped in a sufficient way, or delivery is incomplete, it is the buyers responsibility to cover the cost and/or loss. Buburuby is not responsible for mishandled return items.

Terms and Conditions related to usage of jewelry made or sold by Buburuby are as follows:

"Please contact Buburuby regarding any allergies prior to purchase or usage if you have any know allergies or allergy concerns.

*Allergy Disclaimer - Buburuby including any/all of its affiliates will not be held responsible for any allergic reaction to jewelry either made by or sold by Buburuby. With proven hypoallergenic reactions or severe reactions to jewelry it is highly likely that your sensitivity response is different to the next person. Some people can react to any form of metal, whether it is precious or not, while others may have no reaction and/or don't even realize they have an allergy.
It is common to confuse precious metal allergies with irritation from some other source which are often overlooked including dirty or ill-fitting jewelry. If your jewelry has been plated, it may be that the plating metals are causing an allergic reaction, not the precious metal under it. For example, some rhodium and gold plating has a barrier-plate of nickel - a common metal which can trigger allergies. You may have an allergic reaction to the nickel content in a layer of the plating but not the precious metal underneath it. Sterling silver is "alloy" based, of which 92.5% is pure silver and the remaining 7.5% of the alloying made of other metals. This is why a Sterling silver hallmark can read "925", meaning (at least) 925 parts of a 1000 parts. It is this ratio of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals which essentially enables silver to be hallmarked "Sterling". Medical research indicates that once you have developed an allergy to nickel, your body's immune system can occasionally (rarely) mistakenly identify palladium and cobalt as nickel whereby your body reacts as if these metals were nickel.

*Parents and guardians should only allow children over the age of twelve to wear any type of jewelry. Children over the age of twelve should only wear jewelry items under constant supervision of the parent or guardian supervision and only for special occasions.

In no event will Buburuby including any/all of its affiliated be liable for any loss, damage, injury or death whatsoever, including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss, damage, injury or death arising from the ownership, usage, handling or wearing of any jewelry piece sold, repaired, redisigned or worked on in any way by us.

In no event will we be liable for any loss, damage, injury or death whatsoever, including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss, damage, injury or death arising from the ownership, usage, handling or wearing of any jewelry piece sold, repaired, redesigned or worked on in any way by Buburuby including any of its affiliates which may contain magnetism."
