By using any Company-related software, or by using or visiting the keirfinejewellery.com Website (collectively the “Website Service”), you agree to both these Terms and Conditions (“Terms of Use”) and the Terms and Conditions of the Company Privacy Policy, which are incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to any of these terms, please do not use the Company Website Service.

(iii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Website Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Website Service for its intended purpose; and
(iv) you will otherwise comply with these Terms of Use.
