Website & Service Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the CN Appraisals website and any services, information, or materials provided through it. By accessing or using this site, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Professional Scope

CN Appraisals provides independent jewelry appraisal and related consulting services. Information on this website is for general informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as legal, tax, or financial advice. You should consult with your own professional advisers for those matters.

2. Appraisal Engagements

All appraisal work is performed only after a written or confirmed appointment. The specific purpose, intended use, and type of value (for example, insurance replacement, fair market value, or liquidation value) will be defined in the engagement and in the appraisal report. Fees are quoted based on the complexity and number of items, not as a percentage of value.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this site current and accurate, but we do not warrant that descriptions, pricing examples, or educational content are error-free or complete. Market conditions, gemstone pricing, and industry standards may change without notice.

4. Client Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate information about the ownership, history, and condition of the items presented for appraisal. You are also responsible for using appraisal reports only for their stated purpose and within the effective date indicated in the report.

5. Appraisal Engagements

Fees paid do not include the services of the appraiser for any future services. In particular, fees paid to date do not include any of the appraiser’s time or services in connection with any statement, testimony or other matters before an insurance company, its agents, employees or any court or other body in connection with the property herein described.

If the appraiser is requested to testify or to make any such statements to any third party concerning the described property and/or appraisal, the applicant shall pay the appraiser for all such time and services so rendered at the appraiser’s then current rates.
