Privacy and security policy

We realise that shopping on the internet can be worrying and you may be concerned about using your credit cards online. That's why all our payments are handled through RBS Worldpay for your protection. You may have heard of the padlock icon that appears on some websites to reassure the internet buyer of online security in place - well once you have checked out from our site you will enter the RBS Worldpay system which is quite separate from our own servers and displays the padlock icon. You will not be asked for your credit card details whilst browsing minejewellery.co.uk and will only enter your details when entering the RBS Worldpay secure payment system. This means Mine will never see your credit card details as these are dealt with via the RBS Worldpay website and not through our servers. We do not hold your credit card details after a purchase.

Errors and omissions

Mine makes every effort to ensure that all prices and descriptions quoted on its website are correct and accurate. However, the frenetic tempo of e-commerce makes it inevitable that mistakes will occasionally occur. In the case of a manifest error or omission, Mine will be entitled to rescind the contract, notwithstanding that it has already accepted the Customer's order and/or received payment from the Customer. Mine' liability in that event will be limited to the return of any money the Customer has paid in respect of the order. In the case of a manifest error in relation to price, the Customer will be entitled to purchase the goods by paying the difference between the quoted price and the correct price, as confirmed in writing by Mine after the manifest error has been discovered.

A 'manifest error', as the term is used in sub-paragraph a) above, means, in relation to an incorrect price, a price quoted in error by Mine which is more than 10% less than the price that would have been quoted had the mistake not been made.
