By accessing or using Renova's website, services, or participating in our trade-in program, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.

These Terms apply to all users of our website, including customers, visitors, and participants in our eco-credit program.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice.

3. Trade-In Program & Eco-Credit System

3.1 Eligibility: The trade-in program is available for jewelry made of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) or containing genuine gemstones. We reserve the right to refuse any item that doesn't meet our quality standards.

3.2 Valuation: All valuations are performed using our AI-powered system and verified by certified appraisers. Valuations are estimates and may vary based on current market conditions.

3.3 Eco-Credit Terms:

  • Eco-credits never expire
  • Credits are non-transferable between accounts
  • Credit application limits vary by collection as disclosed at time of purchase
  • Credits can be combined from multiple trade-ins
  • Credits may only be applied to purchases made on renova.com

3.4 No Cash Value: Eco-credits (also referred to as "trade-in credits," "store credits," or "account credits") have no cash value and cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or refunded for cash under any circumstances. Credits may only be used as payment toward the purchase of merchandise from Renova. Upon account closure, any remaining credits will be forfeited and will not be paid out. Credits are not property and confer no ownership rights. Renova reserves the right to modify the terms of the credit program at any time.

3.5 Credit Calculation: The credit amount offered for trade-in items is determined by Renova at its sole discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, metal type and purity, gemstone quality, current market prices, and item condition. Credit offers are valid for 14 days from the date of appraisal.

3.6 Shipping: We provide prepaid shipping labels for trade-in items. Items are insured during transit up to the estimated appraisal value. Risk of loss transfers to us upon receipt at our facility.

3.7 Final Sale: Once you accept a credit offer and credits are applied to your account, the transaction is final. Items shipped to Renova become the property of Renova upon credit issuance and will not be returned.
