Terms & Conditions
SHARPENING
imPECKably Sharp LLC is offering a professional sharpening service. By submitting your knives and other items for sharpening to us, you explicitly approve the discretion of the professional sharpener at imPECKably Sharp LLC to decide how to best sharpen and shape your items before returning them to you. This applies to all items, including knives, scissors, and surgical tools, etc. No considerations will be made to other sharpening techniques than the ones used by us on a daily basis.
The service we provide is to sharpen the edge of the blade of your items. Thus, polishing the items or trying to remove aesthetic deficiencies is not part of the service and will incur a separate fee. In order to achieve a professional sharpened edge of the blade, we may need to remove a greater part of the blade than you envisioned. We are unfortunately not able to provide detailed information about this in advance, but will always strive to limit the part of the blade being removed. In order to limit the part of the blade being removed, we may alter its shape and thus return your item with a different shape than what it was when you submitted it to us.
To ensure the appropriate function of your knives, the heel of all knives sent to us is reduced in equivalent measure to the rest of the blade, to ensure that all of the blade can make contact with the cutting surface as well as securing that we are able to sharpen the whole item. This alters the shape of the heel. If you do not want us to alter the heel of your knives, you must advise us thereof before dropping off the items for sharpening. By specifying during correspondence before drop off, items should only be delivered to us after you have received confirmation we are able to fulfil your request.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. WE PROVIDE THE WEBSITE, THE PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS, THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES, ITS USE, ANY INFORMATION ON IT: (I) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE, (II) WILL BE FREE OF DEFECTS, INACCURACIES OR ERRORS, (III) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR (IV) WILL OPERATE IN THE CONFIGURATION OR WITH OTHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE YOU USE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE MADE EXPRESSLY IN THIS TERMS OF SERVICE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES RELATING TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE WEBSITE OR PRODUCTS/SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION ON WHICH THEY ARE BASED, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.
FINANCIAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, OR THE PRODUCTS/SERVICES) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES.
imPECKably Sharp is not liable for delays or any additional costs related to arrival time of the sharpened items and we do not provide monetary compensation for delayed arrival of the items. We strongly recommend our customers to drop off items for sharpening well ahead of the time which they are needed in return.
Items with visible cracks may not be sharpened but will returned unsharpened or partially sharpened. Sharpening of items with hidden cracks, which may pose a risk for the sharpener due to breaking or loosening of the blade, will be immediately interrupted and returned in the state they are in at the time of interruption of the sharpening. imPECKably Sharp LLC does not charge a fee for the sharpening of the item but no additional compensation will be provided. If items arrive with visible cracks, a significant part of the blade will be removed to eliminate the crack or a new edge will be sharpened on the blade leaving the crack in place. The appropriate course of action for each item is solely and fully at the discretion of imPECKably Sharp LLC.
When extreme discoloration, oxidization or other alteration to the original state of the blade is apparent, imPECKably Sharp will at its discretion decide on the appropriate course of action, including the option to sharpen a new edge with one or several indentations.
imPECKably Sharp LLC is not responsible for and does not accept liability for the full removal of sharpening wax and steel particles from items upon sharpening. Please be sure to thoroughly clean each item prior to use.
No compensation is provided for scratches, blemishes or other alterations to the previous state of items while in the care of imPECKably Sharp LLC. When a blade is sharpened and polished, the side of the blade is also affected to a certain degree, including the polishing. Thus, previous scratches will be significantly more visible.
imPECKably Sharp LLC will attempt to straighten bent items, e.g. crooked blades or tips to a reasonable extent. During these efforts, the blade or the tip may break. In such situations, imPECKably Sharp LLC will attempt to sharpen a significantly smaller/shorter blade from the remaining part of the blade or return it in its broken state in discussion with the Customer. imPECKably Sharp LLC will not compensate the Customer for damage occurring as part of straightening or reparation attempts.
SPECIAL REQUESTS: Should you have special requests regarding the sharpening of your items, this shall be communicated via e-mail to peck@impeckablysharp.com before the items are submitted for sharpening. Requests must be confirmed in writing by imPECKably Sharp LLC to be considered received. Unless confirmation has been provided by imPECKably Sharp LLC, regular sharpening will be applied to the items if they are submitted. In the message, the full name and contact details including cell phone number of the Customer shall be provided, together with specifications on which item is referred to and a marking shall also be applied to the item at drop off to imPECKably Sharp LLC (or pickup for medical sharpening).
RETURNING INCORRECT ITEMS
If a Customer should receive items different from the ones submitted by the Customer for sharpening, imPECKably Sharp LLC shall immediately be notified by e-mail or text. Upon receipt, the incorrect items shall be returned to imPECKably Sharp LLC no later than 5 business days.
Should the Customer not return the incorrect items on the later date of 5 business days upon receipt, imPECKably Sharp LLC has the right to charge the customer for the equivalent of current new purchase value of such items unlawfully being retained.
imPECKably Sharp LLC shall return the correct items to the Customer and shall as compensation for the Customer’s assistance in returning the incorrect items refund the cost for the Customer’s own sharpening on this occasion.
gUARANTEE
imPECKably Sharp LLC guarantees your satisfaction with the sharpening service. Should you for any reason not covered by these Terms not be fully satisfied with the service performed, imPECKably Sharp LLC offers one (1) resharpening for the items in question free of charges for the Customer. Should you wish to take advantage of this guarantee, an e-mail should be sent to peck@impeckablysharp.com explaining the reasons for your dissatisfaction in detail, along with a minimum of one photo supporting your claim as well as stating the fact that you wish to take advantage of the guarantee. imPECKably Sharp LLC will, at its sole discretion decide if the guarantee is applicable to the claim and should it consider it not to be so, will explain the reason for its decision. Should imPECKably Sharp LLC decide that the guarantee is applicable to your claim, they will schedule a new appointment to have these items resharpened at no cost to the customer.
Any claim under the guarantee must be filed within five (5) business days from receipt of the item by the Customer. The guarantee exclusively relates to the sharpening and thus is limited to the state in which the items were received in return to the Customer. Claims relating to items losing sharpness within a time considered to be too fast will not be considered as these are dependent on numerous factors, including the material used in the blade, cutting techniques, the items being cut as well as any supporting surfaces that the blade comes into contact with.
