Spearmint and Thyme accept payment via PayPal which is a secure online method of payment for both parties.
If you don't have a PayPal account they are easy, safe and free to set up with a debit or credit card.

I am more than happy to cater to Custom Orders - once we have decided on your order, a reserve listing will be created summarising the order. The reserve will be for 25% of the order cost, excluding postage.
Full payment will be required upon completion of the order, once photos have been sent and you are happy, prior to postage.

If the delivery varies from the below it will be clearly stated in the product description.

**IF YOU ARE ORDERING FOR AN UPCOMING EVENT please contact us and let us know. We will strive to prioritise your order so it gets to you on time. We recommend placing orders two weeks in advance for domestic orders, four weeks in advance for international. Please double this estimate during peak seasonal periods (eg. Christmas)**

All items are dispatched via STANDARD delivery. You can upgrade to tracked or express delivery at the checkout.
Please note that we do NOT have tracking details for parcels unless you have selected the postage upgrade.

Delivery Times
Within Europe: 3-5 working days
Outside of Europe: 5-8 working days

International customers are responsible for duties, taxes, and other fees incurred on international packages. Also, please be advised that I will not falsify customs documents by marking a package as a "gift" on customs forms.

Please note that I am not responsible for postage once it has been dispatched from the studio, the postal service is a third party company and I have no control over it :)
For postage enquiries after dispatch please contact your local sorting office.

All Paypal shipments will go to the Paypal address on file unless notified previously.

*Please note that delivery times can be significantly longer during the busy holiday periods as the postal service becomes slower*

Whilst all designs are created with use and rough and tumble in mind, in order to get the most life out of your product please store it in a cool, dark and dry area away from anything that could crush or otherwise damage it.
Handle your item with care and, where possible, handle only the metal, rather than by the embellishment.

Every item comes with care instructions written to help the buyer prolong the life of their item.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a customisation, for example), if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

*as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
*when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
*if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

*Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
*Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
*Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
*Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
