CaratShelf Terms of Use

1. Business Use Only

The Platform is intended solely for business users, including resellers, jewelry business operators, and brand operators. By using the Platform, you represent that you are acting for commercial or professional purposes and not primarily as an individual consumer.

2. Account Registration

To use most Platform features, you must register a seller account and provide accurate, current, and complete information, including your name, brand or company name, a chosen storefront subdomain, a working email address, and at least one working contact method. New accounts are reviewed before approval; we may approve, decline, or request more information about any application at our discretion. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.

3. Use of the Platform

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Platform for your own jewelry-selling business, subject to these Terms. You may not use the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful, that infringes the rights of others, or that is inconsistent with these Terms.

4. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its text, graphics, product imagery, 3D design references, and underlying software, is owned by CaratShelf or its licensors and partner factories and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of that content to you. You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, or create derivative works from Platform content except as necessary to operate your own storefront through the Platform as intended.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Platform other than through functionality we provide for that purpose;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform, other accounts, or our systems;
• interfere with or disrupt the Platform's operation, security, or availability;
• copy, misappropriate, or misrepresent the origin of Platform content, product imagery, or 3D designs; or
• submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information when registering or using the Platform.

6. Platform Changes and Availability

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time. We do not guarantee that the Platform will be available at all times or free of interruption.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CaratShelf will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Platform.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent People's Courts at the Company's domicile in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China.
