In rare circumstances, data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on our Site due to system and typographical errors which may occur. Inadvertent errors or inaccurate advertised prices are not binding on The Aye & Co. , and may be adjusted by The Aye & Co. at any time. The Aye & Co. reserves the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur. If an order is placed with a lower product’s listed price than the actual price, The Aye & Co. will, at its discretion, either advise the customer before shipping the product or cancel the order and notify the customer of such cancellation. The Aye & Co. apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Information that we communicate is not a binding contract, and should not be treated as such. The sole remedy of a customer acting on incorrect information is to request a cancellation of the order placed as a result of this incorrect information. If an order has been shipped, the customer agrees to either return the product for full credit or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Please review our Return Policies.
The Aye & Co. holds a dynamic and high volume inventory. The stock availability on our website is listed "as is" and is subject to change. If a product in an order is out of stock, we will advise the customer immediately with possible options. Products may appear on The Aye & Co. website larger or smaller than their actual size. Given the variation in computer monitor settings, color and size may vary slightly when viewing product photography. In compliance with industry standards, carat total weight may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. For gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of 0.25mm shall be acceptable. For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated.
The Aye & Co. retains the full unrestricted rights to all jewelry designs, whether custom or standard, and may choose to market or sell jewelry based on such designs.
