Gianna Violins reserves the right to change all information in the Site, including prices, at any time
without prior notice to anyone, including after an order is placed.  Information on the Site may not
be current or complete and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information including
but not limited to typographical or printing errors, incorrect manufacturer's specifications,

Gianna Violins denies responsibility for all circumstances beyond our control which might affect

Advice and value estimates

Gianna Violins staff and consultants are not responsible for damage that appears to result from
suggestions or recommendations we make by e-mail, phone, or on the Site.  Visitors and
customers are responsible for figuring out whether something we suggest is suitable for you.  For
concerns about a particular product, especially a product needing cleaning, call the
manufacturer.   We can help find the manufacturer.

Gianna Violins will provide our best estimate of the value of instruments described to us via
images or words.  Any such estimates are based on our knowledge of the current market and
represent what we would price such an item for in our retail store.  WE COULD BE WRONG.  For
formal estimates on products we do not carry or did not sell, Gianna Violins urges contacting a
professional appraiser at one of the large, national firms.

List and minimum advertised prices

The suggested retail selling price of a product provided the manufacturer is the “list price.”  
Gianna Violins often sells products for less than list price.  Gianna Violins does not warrant that
any sales of any products have occurred at list price.  List price only provides a point of
comparison between Gianna Violins’ pricing and other retailers.  Manufacturers or wholesalers
may change list prices without notifying us.  For certainty on a current list price, please contact
the manufacturer.

Many products on the Gianna Violins Site fall under a manufacturer's Minimum Advertised Price
(MAP) policy.  These policies prevent authorized dealers of specific products from advertising a
selling price lower than their set minimum advertised price.  Gianna Violins frequently sells items
at a lower price than the MAP price, but we cannot advertise this price.  You must call or email us
for this lower price.

Permission to use submissions

All information and communication from visitors to Gianna Violins become the outright property of
Gianna Violins, including comments on products and service, other remarks, ideas, graphics,
suggestions, data, personal information and resumes, questions, and all other information,
whether  reaching Gianna Violins through electronic mail, fax, regular mail, or otherwise, unless
excluded from this provision under our privacy policy.   Gianna Violins will not treat information
and communication as confidential or proprietary and will not be liable for use of any ideas,
graphics, or other information in its business including, without limitation, service or promotion
ideas.  Gianna Violins will exclusively own all present and future rights to information and
communication from visitors for all purposes, including commercial purposes, without
compensation to visitors or any other party sending the information or communication.  By

information or communications submitted and that they retain full responsibility for information and
communications, including the information or communications’ reliability, appropriateness, legality,
originality, and copyright ownership.
