These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Website, including any purchases of our products, use of our services, or interaction with our content (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you (“you” or “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Return & Refund Policy, and any other policies referenced herein. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

- If you are using the Services on behalf of a business, organization, or other entity, you warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
- We reserve the right to refuse access to the Services to any individual or entity at our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable laws.
2. Account Registration & Security
- To make purchases or access certain features (e.g., order tracking, custom orders), you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update this information as needed.
- You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (username, password) and for all activities conducted under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at service@wtigg.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
- We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials or monitor your account activity.
3. Product Information & Availability
- We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about our jade jewelry products, including descriptions, images, prices, and specifications (e.g., jade type, dimensions, craftsmanship). However, we do not warrant that product information is error-free, complete, or current.
- Product colors may vary slightly from images on the Website due to differences in device displays, lighting, or jade’s natural variations (a characteristic of genuine jade).
- All jade jewelry is labeled as “natural Grade A jade/jadeite” unless otherwise stated, meaning it is 未经人工染色、处理或优化 (untreated, undyed, and unenhanced) in accordance with industry standards.
- Products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to discontinue products, limit quantities, or modify prices at any time without prior notice. If a product you ordered is unavailable, we will notify you promptly and offer a refund or exchange (if applicable).
4. Orders & Payments
4.1 Order Placement & Acceptance
- When you place an order through the Website, you submit a binding offer to purchase the selected products. We reserve the right to accept or reject your order at our sole discretion (e.g., if product information is incorrect, payment is invalid, or the product is out of stock).
- An order is considered confirmed only when we send you an order confirmation email with details of your purchase. This email constitutes our acceptance of your offer.
4.2 Payment Terms
- You agree to pay the full purchase price (including applicable taxes, shipping fees, and insurance) at the time of order placement.
- We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Apple Pay, and other payment methods indicated on the Website. All payments are processed through third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), and we do not store your full payment details (see our Privacy Policy for more information).
- You warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that the payment information is accurate. We reserve the right to cancel orders if payment is declined, fraudulent activity is suspected, or billing information cannot be verified.
4.3 Taxes & Duties
- U.S. orders: Sales tax is applied based on the shipping address and applicable state/local tax laws.
- International orders: You are responsible for paying all customs duties, import taxes, or fees imposed by your country’s customs authorities. These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping fees, and we have no control over them. Please check with your local customs office for details before placing an order.
5. Shipping & Delivery
- We offer worldwide shipping as outlined on the Website. Shipping times are estimates and may vary due to carrier delays, customs processing (for international orders), or other factors beyond our control.

- Risk of loss or damage to products passes to you upon delivery by the carrier. You agree to inspect packages upon receipt and notify us within 7 days of delivery of any damage or discrepancies (see Return & Refund Policy for details).
