beadweaver's Shop Policies

Payment

Payment by Paypal only. Please contact me if you live outside the U.S. and wish to purchase an item.
Payment must be received within 72 hours of purchase or the transaction will be cancelled and the item relisted. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sales tax applies to California residents; Paypal will calculate these during checkout.

Shipping

Standard shipping rates apply to all U.S. purchases.

I use the US Postal Service's Priority Mail service for kits but can arrange for alternative shipping if needed (note: the cost will vary depending on your shipping preference). When checking out, please leave a comment in your Paypal transaction and we can arrange for other shipping.

I use First Class mail for patterns.

Please contact me if you live outside the U.S. to arrange for country-specific shipping charges.

Refunds and Exchanges

All sales on kits and patterns are final (no returns, no exchanges).
Refunds and exchanges offered on finished items only. Items must be returned unused within 2 weeks of receipt. A 20% restocking fee will apply for missing, removed, or tampered with tags.

Additional Policies and FAQs

DO YOU SHIP TO.... Europe, Africa, Japan, Asia...?
Yes! Convo me and I will let you know the price.

CAN YOU SEND ME THE PDF OVER THE INTERNET?
No. I don't do this because it makes it too easy for my patterns to be "shared" with non-buyers and my sales suffer as a result. Thank you for your understanding.

CAN I SELL THE ITEM I MADE FROM YOUR PATTERN?
Yes, you may sell the (one) item from the (one) pattern you purchased for "pin money"*. I ask that you give me credit for the design. Any alterations to the original design (change in colors, change in materials used) are still technically under my copyright, so credit should still be given to me for the original design. NO SMALL SCALE OR MASS PRODUCTION. NO COPYING OR SHARING OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.

WHAT IS "Pin Money"?
"Originally a small allowance given to a woman in order to purchase clothes etc. for herself. More recently it is used to describe any small amount of money which might be earned".

CAN I TEACH THE PATTERN AS A CLASS?
No.

WHAT IS YOUR POLICY REGARDING REPRODUCTION OF YOUR WORK?
I don't allow reproduction of my work. I make part of my living from my craft. It can take months to sometimes a year or longer to produce an item in its final form (from design concept and tens of trials and errors to a satisfactory end product to instructional booklets). I do everything I can to protect my investment while still sharing this wonderful & beautiful craft with fellow weavers.

Thank you for your inquiries, I hope that answers all your questions.
