Terms of Service
Effective Date: October 7, 2026 Location: Iowa, United States
Welcome to our website. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website, including our e-commerce store and our blog page (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by our independent wood crafts business based in Iowa, USA.
By accessing or purchasing from our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access the website or use our services.
1. Overview and Eligibility
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. Our website is designed to showcase informational blog content and offer custom or pre-made physical wood crafts for sale.
2. Products, Custom Orders, and Pricing
-
Handmade Variations: You acknowledge that our products are handmade wood crafts. Due to the natural characteristics of wood, variations in grain, color, knots, texture, and final dimensions are normal and are not considered manufacturing defects.
-
Pricing and Corrections: All prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any product at any time. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, we reserve the right to cancel or refuse any orders placed for that product, even if the order has been confirmed and your payment processed. If your payment has been processed, we will promptly issue a refund.
-
Sales Tax: Orders shipped to destinations within the State of Iowa are subject to applicable Iowa state and local sales taxes.
3. Purchases and Payment Processing
When you make a purchase on our website, you will be using a third-party payment processor, Square, that collects your payment information and processes your payment. We are not responsible for the collection, use, sharing, or security of your billing information by Square. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide, and that the information you supply to us and to Square is true, correct, and complete.
4. Cancellation Policy
We offer cancellations on standard, non-custom orders, so long as your request reaches us before your order ships. Contact us to cancel. We reserve the right to cancel your order for any reason, at our sole discretion, including fraud, inaccuracies, or unavailability of the item purchased. We will notify you promptly if we cancel your purchase, and you will receive a full refund of the purchase price paid.
5. Deposits
Custom orders placed through our Design Your Own tool require a 50% deposit at the time of order to begin work, with the remaining balance due before the piece ships. If you cancel before work on your piece has begun, your deposit is refunded in full. Once work has begun, your order is treated as a custom order under the final sale terms in our Return and Refund Policy, and the deposit becomes non-refundable. If we cancel your order for any reason, your deposit is refunded in full.
6. Orders and Billing
-
Right to Refuse Service: We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order.
-
Accuracy of Information: You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
7. Shipping and Risk of Loss
-
Shipping Policy: All physical items purchased from our website are made pursuant to a shipment contract.
-
Risk of Loss: This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the shipping carrier. We are not responsible for delivery delays or transit damages caused by third-party carriers.
