4. Delivery Locations

The Pandora Online Store currently only ships to addresses within New Zealand.  We regret that we cannot deliver elsewhere.

5. Order Processing and Contract Formation

Once you have submitted and confirmed your order using the Pandora Online Store, Pandora will send an email to the email address you provided, acknowledging receipt of the order and setting out details of the ordered Products (Order Receipt Confirmation Email).

The products on the product pages of the Pandora Online Store are not an offer to sell but an invitation to treat only.  Pandora may choose to reject all or part of an order in Pandora’S sole discretion for any reason, including without limitation in the case of abnormal orders and orders which Pandora suspects are not placed in good faith or for personal use, or orders in response to incorrect offers on the Pandora Online Store made as a result of human, system or technology error (including errors in the image, description or price).

Pandora may from time to time impose quantity restrictions or limits on the Products you can order.  Any quantity or total value restrictions will be stated on the Pandora Online Store or communicated to you at the time of placing your order or otherwise communicated to you.  If Pandora rejects an order Pandora will refund any money paid for that order.

After receiving your order, Pandora will check that the ordered Products are available.  A separate contract for the sale of the ordered Products between you and Pandora on these Sales Terms will be formed when Pandora emails you confirming that all or part of the order is available and has been dispatched (Shipment Confirmation Email).  The contract is formed on sending the Shipment Confirmation Email whether or not you receive such email.  You are encouraged to download, save and print a copy of your Order Receipt Confirmation Email, Shipment Confirmation Email and these Sale Terms for your records.

The contract will only relate to those Products which have been despatched and are listed in the Shipment Confirmation Email.  Pandora will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Shipment Confirmation Email.

If you would like to cancel your order after you have received your Shipment Confirmation Email, please see the Returns and Refunds section below.

6. Prices, Shipping and Handling, Charges and Taxes

The price charged for a Product will be the price in effect at the time your order is placed and will be set out in the Order Receipt Confirmation Email and in your Shipping Confirmation Email.  If you place additional or separate orders after receiving the Order Receipt Confirmation you will incur additional shipping and handling charges for such additional orders.

The Products, prices and promotional offers (if any) made on the Pandora Online Store only apply to orders placed on the Pandora Online Store and may be different from those available in physical stores selling Pandora products.

If there is a pricing error, whether on the Pandora Online Store or in an Order Receipt Confirmation Email or otherwise, then to the extent permitted law Pandora has the right to correct such error and charge the correct price or cancel the order.  If the actual price is more than the amount shown on your Order Receipt Confirmation Email Pandora will contact you with the correct price before processing your order, and your sole remedy if such error occurs is to cancel your order.

You acknowledge that even after Pandora has sent you a Shipping Confirmation Email, if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a misprice, then Pandora is under no obligation to provide a Product to you at an incorrect (lower) price.

Prices for the Products include GST or other applicable taxes but do not include charges for shipping and handling.

Separate charges for shipping, handling and their related GST or other taxes will be shown in your Order Receipt Confirmation Email and can be viewed on a summary screen prior to finalizing your order.

Prices for Products and for shipping and handling may be changed at any time without notice to you, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Shipping Confirmation Email (save in the case of a manifest pricing or other error as described above).

Promotional Codes

From time to time promotional codes may be offered to the public or individual customers. To redeem a promotional code, the code should be entered during check out (of a valid transaction) when prompted. Unique promotional codes can only be used by intended recipient and cannot be transferred to another customer.  Discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer including other promotional codes and/or gift with purchase promotions. Promotional codes cannot be used for the purchase of a Pandora Gift Card or eGift Card. Promotional codes are not valid for redemption in Pandora stores and cannot be exchanged for cash. Promotional codes cannot be used retroactively on orders that have already been placed. Delivery charges are excluded from the calculation of % off discount promotional codes.  

7. Payment

Payment must be made by one of the methods you have selected during the checkout process (being VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or PayPal).  The name on the credit card must be the same as the name of the person placing the order.  

If Pandora does not receive the authorization that the payment has been processed Pandora reserves the right to cancel your order.

The value of your purchase will be settled from the applicable card when the order is placed.

If your credit card payment cannot be processed you will be notified of this on the Pandora Online Store.  You will then need to contact the card issuer and endeavour to resolve the issue.

8. Delivery

You should allow approximately 3 - 11 business days for in stock items, provided that your payment is received before 4pm on the day that the order is placed.  Pandora reserves the right to substitute another carrier of equal or lesser cost to deliver your order.

Currently Pandora will cover all taxes and duties which may be applied by customs in New Zealand, but has the right to change this policy at any time.

In accordance with Australian export regulations we are required to declare the exact value of all items and identify the order as dutiable “merchandise”. We are also prohibited by law from identifying an order as a “gift” for export purposes, even if a customer has placed the order with the intention of delivery to a gift recipient.

If Pandora cannot deliver your order within the period specified in your Shipping Confirmation Email then Pandora will endeavour to contact you and you may choose to cancel your order and receive a full refund.

If you unreasonably defer delivery or delay the receipt of delivery after the shipping provider has notified you that they have tried to deliver the ordered items to you, or if you have provided them with an incorrect delivery address which results in an unsuccessful delivery, the delivery package will be returned to Pandora.

9. Events Outside Pandora’s Control

Pandora shall not be responsible for delay or failure to perform, if the delay or failure is caused by any act, event, non-happening, omission accident or circumstance beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to:

  • civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war;
  • strikes or lock-outs (or other industrial action);
  • national or local states of emergency;
  • failure of transportation facilities, power or utility outages, earthquake, fire, explosion, storm, flood, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster;
  • impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or
  • the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.

Pandora's performance is deemed to be suspended for the period that the above continues.

10. Product Availability

Pandora uses reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of Products you order from the Pandora Online Store.  However Products are made available to purchase on a "first in-first out" basis and are only available whilst stocks last.

11. Product Information

Please take care when placing your order to ensure that the Products you purchase are suitable for the intended use.  Please use the Pandora Online Store as your final point of reference when checking the kind of product that you are ordering.  If there is a difference between the Pandora Online Store content and any other website (or any other source of information) the Products as shown on the Pandora Online Store at the time of purchase will take precedence.

If the Products you have received do not correspond to the ones you have ordered, or if your delivery is incomplete or damaged during transportation, please immediately contact Pandora Customer Support Centre either by email or phone for assistance.

12. Title to Products

Pandora retains full legal title to Products until it has received all amounts due on the ordered Products in full and you have received your Shipping Confirmation Email.  The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

13. Return and Refund if You Change Your Mind

As a goodwill gesture, we have a 30 day return and refund policy for unused and undamaged Products if you change your mind and return them, at your cost, within 30 days of delivery with a valid proof of purchase.  This policy only applies to Products purchased on the Pandora Online Store.  It is offered in New Zealand and may not be available in other international markets.  Independent jewellery stores that sell Pandora jewellery will have their own exchange policy for change of mind which may be different from that set out above.  If you did not purchase from the Pandora Online Store then contact your retailer for further information.  You have additional rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law that are not limited by this policy.

In addition to your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law and subject to the conditions set out below, if for any reason you change your mind and no longer want the Products, you can return any unused and undamaged Product purchased from the Pandora Online Store to the location notified by Pandora within 30 days of delivery for a refund.   You must pay your own shipping and transport costs.  Your legal rights in respect of defective goods are unaffected.   If you wish to return the Products you will need to telephone the Pandora Customer Support Centre (see clause 17 for contact details) or complete Pandora’s online return request form.

If you do not return the Products within 30 days of delivery or do not have proof of purchase, Pandora may refuse to give you a refund.  If you return any Products in a used or damaged condition, Pandora may deduct from any refund due to you (or otherwise seek to recover from you) an amount equivalent to the reduction in value of the Products, which might be 100% of the purchase price.

Once Pandora has received and validated your returned Products, Pandora will send you an email to confirm the validation.  Your refund will then be processed by Pandora and confirmed to you by email.

Gift with Purchase

If you received a gift with the purchase of your Product and wish to return the gift or product for a refund, both the gift and the Product must be returned unless the total value of the Products not returned and purchased as part of the same transaction is equal to or greater than the amount that you were required to spend in order to be eligible for the gift.   Please refer to individual Gift with Purchase Terms and Conditions.

Gift with purchase promotional offers are:

  • only available during the promotion period specified and while the stock is available;
  • limited to one gift per customer;
  • not valid in conjunction with any other promotional offer; and
  • exclude sale items. 

When you order Products as part of a gift with purchase promotion you will be required to confirm your acceptance of any applicable and additional Gift with Purchase Terms and Conditions that may apply to the promotion at the time of placing your order.  If applicable such terms and conditions will form part of these Sales Terms.

14. Jewellery Warranty Against Defects

Pandora will at our option, repair or replace, jewellery proven by our jewellers to be defective due to the manufacturing process within 12 months after the date of purchase.

This warranty is offered in Australia and New Zealand and may differ in other international markets.

Jewellery warranty exclusions

This warranty against defects does not cover loss, damage, breakage, changes in appearance, kinks, or the gradual degradation of all or part of the goods due to: normal wear (including tarnishing); mishap; careless handling; improper use; the use of charms or items not manufactured by Pandora; or use outside Pandora’s care instructions.  Tarnishing occurs naturally and therefore, cleaning is not covered by this warranty against defects.

Proof of purchase

Proof of purchase in the form of a Jewellery Authenticity Card (unless otherwise agreed by us), plus a receipt, gift receipt, credit card, bank statement or tax invoice or other evidence of purchase which is satisfactory to us is required before we will process any warranty claim.

How to make a warranty claim and access our jewellery maintenance service

** Do not send your jewellery directly to Pandora head office**

You will need to take your jewellery and your proof of purchase, at your cost, to your local Pandora Concept Store,  being a fully branded store which only sells Pandora products (Note: Stores selling other brands of jewellery are not Concept Stores.)  If you are unable to take your jewellery to your local Concept Store you may be charged transport and postage costs by the retailer.  If Pandora is satisfied that the warranty claim is valid Pandora will at its option arrange for either the repair or replacement of the jewellery.  Pandora will advise you of your repair options (if any) and the retailer’s charges if your warranty claim is not accepted by Pandora.

Consumer Guarantees Act 1993

The Pandora warranty against defects provides benefits in addition to the rights and remedies to which you are entitled under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and does not exclude or limit those rights.

If Pandora breaches any term, condition, guarantee or warranty which cannot lawfully be excluded but can be lawfully limited, then to the extent permitted by law and without limiting your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, Pandora’s liability for such breach is limited to either, at Pandora’s election to: (a) resupplying of the Products (or equivalent goods) you have purchased in respect of which the claim arises; or (b) paying the amount you paid us for those Products.

To the fullest extent permitted by law and except to the extent (if any) provided in these Sales Terms Pandora has no liability to you or any other person for any loss of or anticipated profit, loss of data, loss of use, damage to goodwill or loss due to delay, or other direct or indirect loss or damage however caused which may be suffered or incurred or which may arise from or in connection with your use of the Pandora Online Store or your use of or reliance upon any of the information, services and/or materials contained in it or provided by it to you or our negligence or our breach of our obligations under these Sales Terms.
