Last Updated: August 5, 2026

Welcome to LumiSerene. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, products, and services.

Throughout these Terms, “LumiSerene,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the business operating the LumiSerene brand. Additional information about our business is available on our About Us page.

Please read these Terms carefully before using our website or placing an order.

Any additional policies or product-specific conditions displayed on our website.

You are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction; or

You are using the website with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian;

The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete; and

You will use the website only for lawful purposes.

We may refuse, restrict, or cancel orders when reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, payment abuse, unauthorized resale, violations of these Terms, or other unlawful activity.

  1. Account Information

You may be able to create a customer account to view orders, save addresses, or access other website features.

You are responsible for:

Providing accurate account information;
Maintaining the confidentiality of your password;
Restricting access to your account; and
Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.

You are responsible for activities conducted through your account unless the activity resulted from a security failure caused by LumiSerene.

We may suspend or restrict an account if we reasonably believe that it is being used fraudulently, unlawfully, or in violation of these Terms.

  1. Acceptable Use

You may not use our website or services to:

Violate any applicable law or regulation;
Commit fraud or submit false payment information;
Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or malicious code;
Interfere with the security or operation of the website;

We may restrict access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect our customers, business, payment providers, or technology systems.

  1. Products and Jewelry Information

LumiSerene specializes in pearl jewelry and accessories, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, handmade jewelry, and related products.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, measurements, photographs, colors, materials, and prices are accurate.

However, the appearance of colors and details may vary depending on:

Screen settings;
Lighting conditions;
Photography;
Device type; and
Natural variations in materials.

Product photographs may be enlarged or arranged to show detail. Customers should review the measurements, materials, and specifications provided on each product page before ordering.

Product availability is not guaranteed. We may modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of a product at any time before an order is accepted.

  1. Naturally Unique Freshwater Pearls

Many LumiSerene products contain genuine freshwater pearls.

Freshwater pearls naturally vary in shape, size, surface texture, luster, color, and tone. These subtle variations are part of each pearl’s individual character and make every piece unique.

Minor natural variations are not considered defects solely because a pearl differs slightly from product photographs, another pearl, or another piece of the same design.

This provision does not exclude products that are materially damaged, incorrectly made, defective, incorrect, or materially different from the product ordered.

  1. Prices, Taxes and Currency

Unless otherwise stated, all prices displayed on our website are in U.S. dollars.

Standard shipping is provided free of charge for orders accepted for delivery to supported addresses within the United States.

Product prices do not include taxes, customs duties, import charges, brokerage fees, or other government-imposed charges unless expressly stated or included at checkout.

Applicable taxes or other required charges will be displayed during checkout whenever required and reasonably available.

We may:

Update product prices;
Correct typographical, technical, or pricing errors;
End promotional pricing;
Limit the quantity of products purchased; or
Cancel an order affected by an obvious pricing or technical error.

If we cancel a paid order because of a pricing or technical error, we will issue a full refund to the original payment method.

Price changes do not affect orders that have already been accepted and shipped.

  1. Payments

Payments are processed through the payment methods displayed during checkout, which may include PayPal or other authorized third-party payment providers.

By submitting a payment, you represent that:

You are authorized to use the selected payment method;
The billing information provided is accurate; and
The payment does not violate any applicable law.

We do not directly store complete payment card information on our website servers. Payment information is processed according to the applicable payment provider’s security and privacy practices.

An order may be delayed, restricted, or canceled if payment cannot be verified, is declined, is reversed, appears unauthorized, or is associated with suspected fraud.

  1. Orders and Order Acceptance

After placing an order, you may receive an automated confirmation email. This email confirms that we received your order but does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted or shipped.

An order is generally accepted when we send a shipping confirmation or otherwise confirm that the order has entered fulfillment.

We may refuse, limit, or cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including:

Product unavailability;
Incorrect pricing or product information;
Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment;
Shipping restrictions;
Violation of purchase limits; or
Violation of these Terms.

If we cancel an order after payment has been received and before the order has been fulfilled, we will issue a full refund to the original payment method.

  1. Shipping and Delivery

We currently ship to supported delivery addresses within the United States.

Most in-stock orders are processed within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation.

During holidays, promotional events, new product launches, or other high-volume periods, processing may take approximately 3–7 business days.

Standard U.S. delivery is estimated to take 7–12 business days after the order has been processed and shipped.

Under normal circumstances, the estimated total time from placing an order to receiving it is approximately 8–15 business days.

All orders accepted for delivery to supported U.S. addresses include free standard shipping and online tracking. No minimum purchase amount is required.

Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delays may occur because of:

Customs processing;
Carrier disruptions;
Severe weather;
Public holidays;
Peak shipping periods;
Remote delivery locations;
Incorrect or incomplete addresses; or
Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If we learn that we cannot ship an order within the stated processing period, we will notify the customer and provide an updated estimated shipping date.

The customer may agree to the revised shipping date or cancel the unshipped order for a full refund.

If the customer declines the delay, or if consent to the delay cannot be obtained when required, we will cancel the unshipped order and promptly issue a full refund.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping information. Additional costs caused by an incorrect or incomplete address, customer refusal, or failure to collect a package may be charged or deducted from an eligible refund where permitted by law.

Risk of loss and ownership of the products pass to the customer upon confirmed delivery by the shipping carrier, subject to applicable consumer protection laws and our policies concerning lost or misdelivered packages.

Complete shipping terms are provided in our Shipping Policy.

  1. Customs, Duties and Import Charges

Products may be shipped from China and may be subject to customs processing, import duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or other government-imposed charges.

Unless an order is expressly identified at checkout as duties-paid, tax-inclusive, or otherwise inclusive of such charges, fees assessed directly to the recipient by customs authorities or delivery carriers are the customer’s responsibility.

We do not control customs decisions, inspection times, or the amount of government-imposed charges.

Customs processing may delay delivery.

If a shipping service is identified as duties-paid or tax-inclusive at checkout, the customer will not be required to pay those included charges again upon delivery.

Nothing in this section requires a customer to pay a fee that applicable law requires LumiSerene to pay.

  1. 30-Day Returns

Eligible products may be returned by contacting us within 30 calendar days after the recorded delivery date.

To qualify for a standard return, the product must be:

Unworn and unused;
Undamaged;
In its original condition;
Returned in its original packaging;
Accompanied by its original accessories, complimentary gifts, care materials, and other included items; and
Supported by a valid order number or proof of purchase.

Customers must contact LumiSerene and receive return authorization and the correct return instructions before mailing a product.

Unauthorized returns may not be accepted or processed.

Approved returns are currently sent to our authorized return facility in China. The exact return address will be provided after the return request has been approved.

For standard returns based on preference, fit, style, or change of mind:

The customer is responsible for international return shipping costs;
Customer-paid return shipping costs are non-refundable; and
The customer should use a trackable shipping service and retain proof of shipment.

Because standard U.S. shipping is provided free of charge, there is no standard outbound shipping fee to refund.

Earrings and other pierced-ear jewelry are not eligible for standard returns or exchanges for hygiene reasons.

Customized, personalized, engraved, made-to-order, gift card, and clearly marked Final Sale products are also not eligible for standard returns or exchanges.

These restrictions do not apply when a product arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or materially different from the item ordered. Eligible issues will be reviewed under our 30-Day Quality Promise.

We may reject a return or reduce the refund, where permitted by law, if the product does not meet the eligibility requirements stated in these Terms or our Refund & Return Policy.

Nothing in this section limits any consumer rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

For complete return conditions and instructions, please review our Refund & Return Policy.

  1. Non-Returnable Products

For hygiene, safety, or customization reasons, the following products are not eligible for standard returns or exchanges:

Earrings and other pierced-ear jewelry;
Personalized products;
Engraved products;
Customized products;
Made-to-order products;
Gift cards;
Products clearly marked “Final Sale” before purchase; and
Products damaged through improper use, storage, handling, cleaning, or care.

Products that have been worn, used, damaged, altered, improperly stored, contaminated, or improperly cared for are also not eligible for standard returns or exchanges.

Any applicable customization, made-to-order, or Final Sale restriction will be disclosed on the relevant product page before purchase whenever appropriate.

These restrictions do not apply when a product arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or materially different from the item ordered.

Eligible issues will be reviewed under our 30-Day Quality Promise.

These restrictions do not limit any consumer rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

  1. 30-Day Quality Promise

LumiSerene provides a 30-Day Quality Promise covering:

Products that arrive damaged;
Products with eligible manufacturing defects;
Incorrect products; and
Products materially different from the item ordered.

Customers must contact us as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 30 calendar days after the recorded delivery date.

When submitting a quality claim, customers may be required to provide:

The order number;
A clear description of the issue;
Clear photographs or videos of the product; and
Photographs of the packaging and shipping label, when applicable.

Customers should retain the product, original packaging, and shipping materials until we complete our review.

After reviewing and confirming the issue, we may provide an appropriate remedy, including:

A replacement;
A full or partial refund; or
Another reasonable solution agreed with the customer.

For a confirmed quality issue covered by this promise, LumiSerene will be responsible for reasonable replacement or return shipping costs.

The 30-Day Quality Promise does not cover:

Normal wear and tear;
Accidental damage occurring after delivery;
Improper use, handling, cleaning, or storage;
Damage caused by water, perfume, lotions, sweat, cosmetics, or harsh chemicals;
Unauthorized repair, alteration, or modification;
Failure to follow our jewelry care instructions; or
Minor natural variations in pearl shape, size, surface texture, luster, color, or tone.

The 30-Day Quality Promise is separate from the standard 30-Day Return Period.

Standard returns cover eligible returns based on preference, fit, style, or change of mind. The Quality Promise covers confirmed damaged, defective, incorrect, or materially different products.

This Quality Promise is provided in addition to any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

  1. Refunds

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method unless another method is agreed with the customer or required by the payment provider.

LumiSerene will generally initiate an approved return refund within seven business days after the returned product has been received, inspected, and accepted.

Refunds for canceled, unshipped orders will be initiated promptly after cancellation.

After a refund is initiated, additional processing time may be required by PayPal, the customer’s bank, card issuer, or another payment provider.

Unless the return is caused by a confirmed LumiSerene error:

Customer-paid return shipping costs are non-refundable; and
Customs duties, import charges, taxes, or fees paid directly to government authorities or delivery carriers cannot be refunded by LumiSerene.

Because standard U.S. shipping is provided free of charge, there is no standard outbound shipping fee to refund.

Refunds will not be issued as store credit unless the customer agrees to receive store credit.

For complete refund requirements and procedures, please review our Refund & Return Policy.

  1. Promotions, Coupons and Discounts

Promotional codes, coupons, gifts, and discounts may be subject to additional conditions displayed with the offer.

Unless otherwise stated:

Only one promotional code may be used per order;
Promotional codes cannot be exchanged for cash;
Discounts cannot be applied retroactively;
Promotions may have expiration dates or product restrictions; and
Complimentary gifts may be subject to availability.

If an order is returned, the refund will be calculated based on the amount actually paid after applicable discounts.

If a returned order no longer meets the conditions of a complimentary gift or promotional offer, the complimentary item may also need to be returned in unused condition.

If the complimentary item is not returned, we may deduct its disclosed value from the refund where permitted by law and where the condition was disclosed with the promotion.

Promotional codes, discounts, and complimentary benefits have no separate cash value.

We may cancel or correct a promotion when reasonably necessary because of an error, misuse, fraud, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Spam or unrelated material;
Obscene, threatening, discriminatory, or abusive language;
Personal or confidential information;
False or misleading claims;

Reasonable indications that the content is fraudulent or inauthentic.

We will not remove or suppress an otherwise compliant review solely because it is negative or critical.

LumiSerene will not create, purchase, or knowingly publish fake or false consumer reviews or testimonials.

Any incentive offered for submitting a review will not be conditioned, expressly or implicitly, on the review being positive or expressing any particular sentiment.

Any material incentive or relationship connected to a review or testimonial must be clearly disclosed when required.

We will not materially alter a review in a way that misrepresents the customer’s opinion or experience.

Breach of an express product promise; or
Any liability or consumer remedy that cannot legally be excluded.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability relating to a particular order will not exceed the amount paid for that order.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, these limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

  1. Force Majeure

We will not be responsible for a delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including:

Natural disasters;
Severe weather;
Pandemics or public health emergencies;
War, civil unrest, or terrorism;
Government actions;
Customs interruptions;
Transportation or carrier disruptions;
Labor disputes;
Cyberattacks; or
Utility, telecommunications, or internet failures.

This section does not remove any customer right to receive notice of a shipping delay, cancel an eligible unshipped order, or receive a refund when required by applicable law.

  1. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, payment providers, shipping carriers, package-tracking services, social media platforms, applications, or other services.

These third-party services are not controlled by LumiSerene and may have their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

Please review the Privacy Policy to understand how we process personal information and the rights or choices that may be available to you.

  1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the business operating LumiSerene and the transaction, subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws that apply to the customer.

Nothing in these Terms deprives a U.S. consumer of any mandatory protection available under applicable federal or state law.

Jurisdiction and venue for a dispute will be determined according to applicable law.

Before beginning formal legal proceedings, you and LumiSerene are encouraged to contact each other and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking a remedy that cannot legally be waived or restricted.

  1. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

  1. No Waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that we waive the right to enforce it later.

A waiver is effective only when expressly confirmed in writing.

  1. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the policies referenced herein and any product-specific conditions displayed before purchase, constitute the agreement between you and LumiSerene regarding use of the website and purchase of our products.

If a product-specific condition conflicts with these Terms, the more specific condition will apply to that product, except where prohibited by law.

  1. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when our products, services, shipping methods, legal obligations, or business practices change.

Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective or last-updated date.

Updated Terms will apply to orders placed after the new version becomes effective.
