Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Worthit! By using our website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.

These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") are entered into by and between Worthit, a company registered and operating under the laws of [State of Texas], and you, the user, whether an individual or entity, who accesses and uses our website located at Worthit and the services provided therein.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By shipping your jewelry to Worthit, you agree to send your jewelry by mail to Worthit for appraisal and to have it submitted to auction for potential sale. You also agree to the following terms:

Appraisal and Auction Process: Once Worthit receives your jewelry, we will appraise the items to determine their estimated value. Based on this appraisal, we may submit your jewelry to an auction for sale. The sale price will be determined by the auction process, and Worthit is not responsible if the final sale price does not meet your expectations or the price you were hoping for.
Payment for Sale: If your jewelry is sold at auction, Worthit will send payment for the sale price to the account information you provide. It is your responsibility to ensure that the account details you provide to us are accurate and complete. Worthit will not be held responsible for any failure to receive payment due to incorrect or incomplete account information. If the account information you provide is incorrect, we are not liable for any lost payments, and you may be required to correct the details and resubmit them before we can process any payments.
No Guarantee of Sale: Worthit makes no guarantee that your jewelry will be sold or that it will sell for any specific price. The auction process is subject to factors beyond our control, and pricing is ultimately determined by market demand and the auction's participants.
Non-Responsibility for Sale Price: Since the items are sold through an auction, Worthit is not liable if your jewelry does not sell at the price you desire or at all.

By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge and consent to the auction process and the potential variability in the sale price of your jewelry.

However, you may cancel the sale process at any time before we make a final offer by contacting us via email at worthitjewel@gmail.com. Please note that if you cancel the sale after sending us your jewelry, a $55 cancellation fee will apply. This fee covers the shipping and handling costs incurred by Worthit.
