GemShowOnTheWeb.com site - Terms & Conditions of Use

 

YOUR USE OF THE GEMSHOWONTHEWEB.COM WEB SITE (THE "WEB SITE"), CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, YOU MUST NOT USE OR MUST IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THIS WEB SITE.

  1. Purpose of Web Site. This Web Site is a service made available by GemShowOnTheWeb, LLC ("Provider" or "GemShow"). The information in the Web Site is for jewelers, gemstone and mineral dealers of various types, and members of the public to find dealers and jewelers who may have the products or services they are searching for. The Web Site also provides a method for listing items for sale and searching for items which have been listed for sale.

  2. Gem Dealer or Jeweler Listings within Product and Service Categories. This Web site also contains a searchable directory (the "View All Dealers" link or "Dealer Directory") and ("Find A Gem Dealer by Category" tab) of gem show dealers and jewelers (hereinafter referred to as "Dealers"). Some of the information in these sections was provided by the dealers themselves and some was entered by GemShow from industry sources. Provider does not warrant the validity of the information, nor does it guarantee the quality of the work product of the Dealers. The choice of Dealers are important decisions and should not be based solely upon listings or a dealer's self-proclaimed area of expertise. Provider cannot review all of the content of the listings that are provided by the Dealers or all of the links to the Web site. Provider is not responsible for any material or information contained in the linked sites or provided by Dealers. A description or indication of expertise by a Dealer does not mean that any agency or board has certified such Dealer as a specialist or expert in any indicated field, nor does it mean that such Dealer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other Dealer. All users of the Web Site are encouraged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any Dealer they might consider purchasing from.
