3. Customer Account

In order for you to use the services at The Site, you must register at our website and obtain an account.  By registering online through our website, you give us permission to obtain credit information from credit agencies before and after you open an account with us.  You agree to provide complete, accurate, and current information in your account and agree to promptly update and keep the information current and accurate online.  You are solely responsible for any activity in your account.  If you provide untrue, inaccurate, dated, or incomplete information, or we come to suspect that you have provided such information, we reserve the right to suspect or cancel your account and not to extend any future services to you.  If you suspect any unauthorized use of your account, contact us immediately.  To increase ease of use for your account, we may place a cookie on your computer to help us assist your use of the account and the website.          

Our products may be rented for use by individuals under 18 years old, but we rent only to adults 18 years of age or older, who may purchase the service with a credit card or other approved methods provided on the site.  If you are under 18 years old, you may not accept the Terms and Conditions on this side and order our products directly without approval of your parent or legal guardian.

4. Services

The Site allows registered members to browse and borrow products according to these Terms and Conditions.  With an up front payment of one month rent, the customer can borrow products from our online selections, and the products will be shipped to the customer’ address.  There are no due dates or limits on the number of times a customer can borrow.  The minimum rental period is 1 month, and after that, the price is charged by month and we do not prorate the last month rent.  However, we reserve the right to ask for a deposit or limit the number of items that a member may borrow at any time, at our sole discretion, in the event that the customer fails to make required payments on time or other factors which at our sole opinion may decrease the customer’s ability to pay on time.  

The shipping and return policies governing delivery and returns of products are stated on our website.  We don’t guarantee the delivery time for your products, because it’s based on product availability, the distance between your location and our warehouse, the weather, acts of God, and other circumstances.  You should place your order well in advance of any event date you are planning for.  We will send you an email when your product is shipped, but plan your orders for minimum 6-10 days ahead. The shipping days are not included in your rental period.  The risk of loss for items shipped passes to you upon the carrier’s acceptance of the product from us for delivery.

You are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address.  When the product is shipped to the address and is lost for reasons including but not limited to an inaccurate address, theft, damage at the destination, or negligence, you will be liable for the missing product.

You agree to treat the rental products with due care, same as how you would treat your own beauty and jewelry products that you want to preserve and protect.  When you return a product that is in damaged or soiled condition which is beyond normal wear and tear, as determined by The Site’s administration at its sole discretion, you agree that we may charge your credit card to either repair or replace product, up to the full retail value of the product.  

You explicitly agree that you rent the product(s) and do not purchase them; the ownership remains exclusively with The Site’s owners and operators and they may terminate the rental agreement at their discretion and require immediate return of the product.  You agree the liability for improper, illegal, immoral, or otherwise damaging to persons or property behavior rests with you for the duration of the rental period.

5. Billing

When you first use The Site’s service, you will be asked for name, street address, phone number, a valid credit card number, information about the card, and other personal information.  By using our service, you authorize The Site to bill your credit card for monthly rents, shipping charges, applicable taxes, repair and replacement fees, and any and all other charges associated with the service.  If the product is not returned before the next “anniversary date” (30 days since the beginning of the rental), the applicable rent will be charged to your credit card on the anniversary date of renting the product.  When the postmark says you returned the product within 30 days of the rental period, it is still considered as a full month’s rent.  The anniversary date will initially appear as the date you placed your order.  When the shipment is delivered, the anniversary date will be updated to the delivery date, and it will roll forward every 30 days.

If The Site does not receive payments from your credit card provider or if your credit card expires or is rejected, you agree to pay full amount immediately unless the item is returned.  We may require you to provide another valid credit card in order to continue the service and you authorize The Site to charge applicable fees and any amounts due to any valid credit card you have on file with us.  If you fail to make the payment, The Site reserves the rights to use all means necessary to collect amount due from you, including but not limited to taking legal action and using third party collection agencies.

The Site’s owner reserves the right to check and determine if your credit card is pre-authorized to accept a minimum charge.  If your credit card does not have sufficient credit to cover the minimum charge of the retail values of the items you want to rent, we may request you to provide another valid credit card or deny the services to you.  If your credit card will expire in two months or less, we may also request you to provide another valid credit card or deny the services to you.

You are solely responsible for any fees charged to your credit card from the issuer or banks.  You agree to notify us about any billing issues within 90 days after they first appear on your credit statement.  If you do not bring any billing issues to our attention within 90 days, you agree to waive your rights to dispute on these issues.

We may modify the content, type, and price of services at any time.  We may at our discretion notify you of the changes either via email or by publishing updated information on the website.  

6. Cancellation of an order

If you return an order within two days of receiving it with the postmark to prove it, upon receiving the product back from you, you will get a full refund, less shipping charges, in the form of store credit, so long as in our sole discretion the product has not been worn.

7. Collections

If an item is in your possession, but you do not have a valid credit card on your account with us and you are not paying any rent for the item, you no longer have the right to continue using or keeping the item.  Since The Site’s administration spends a significant amount of resources to collect items from customers, and recovering losses from customer non payments, if you keep any items wrongfully in your possession due to negligence, lack of payment, or other similar fraudulent acts, you will be billed the full retail value of all the items you retain and an additional $400 per item charge to compensate The Site for the recovery efforts.  You understand this sum is not a penalty but a reasonable and necessary amount to compensate The Site for its lost future rental revenue and resources spent to recover the items and the payment.  

If any legal actions are needed to recover the items wrongfully possessed by you, you agree that if The Site prevails, we will be entitled to recover from you the attorney fees and other legal expenses.  The Site expressly reserves the rights to seek additional compensations other than those mentioned above.
