Business Name: Thorn & Thread
Website: thornandthread.com.co

1. Overview

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website, products, and services offered by Thorn & Thread (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By visiting our website, creating an account, or purchasing from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our website or purchase our products.

2. Eligibility

By using this website, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are using the site with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Products and Handmade Item Variations

We sell handmade jewelry and related goods. Because many of our items are handmade and may include natural materials, each piece may vary slightly in color, shape, texture, finish, or pattern. These small variations are normal and are not considered defects.

We make reasonable efforts to display our products and product colors accurately, but we cannot guarantee that your device’s display will reflect the exact appearance of the item.

We reserve the right to:

  • modify or discontinue products at any time;

  • limit the quantities of any products offered;

  • refuse or cancel orders at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, inventory issues, or misuse of the website.

4. Pricing and Payment

All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information for all purchases. By submitting payment information, you authorize us to charge the selected payment method for your order total, including any applicable taxes and shipping fees.

If we discover an error in pricing or product information after an order is placed, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a refund.

5. Order Acceptance and Cancellation

Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order for any lawful reason, including but not limited to:

  • product unavailability;

  • suspected fraud or unauthorized activity;

  • errors in pricing, descriptions, or inventory;

  • violation of these Terms.

If your order is canceled after payment has been processed, we will refund the amount paid to the original payment method unless otherwise required by law.

6. Shipping and Delivery

We will make reasonable efforts to process and ship orders within the timeframe listed on our website, but shipping times are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

Once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, we are not responsible for delays caused by the carrier, weather, customs, or other circumstances outside our control.

It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a complete and accurate shipping address. We are not responsible for lost packages, delays, or additional shipping charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address provided at checkout.

Risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to you upon our delivery of the order to the shipping carrier, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Returns, Refunds, and Exchanges

We provide return and refund request functionality through the customer’s user profile/account on our website. If you wish to request a return, refund, or exchange, you must do so through the return/refund service available in your profile, subject to our return policy and any eligibility requirements shown there.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • return, refund, and exchange requests must be submitted through your user profile where the return/refund service is provided;

  • approval of any return, refund, replacement, store credit, or exchange is subject to our posted return policy and item eligibility;

  • items may be excluded from return or refund eligibility, including but not limited to custom items, made-to-order items, final sale items, worn items, damaged items, or items returned outside the permitted return window, if stated in our return policy.

If a return is approved, the refund method, exchange process, or store credit terms will be determined according to the return option selected and our applicable return policy.

8. Custom, Personalized, and Made-to-Order Items

If we offer custom, personalized, or made-to-order jewelry, you are responsible for reviewing all custom details before placing your order.

Unless otherwise required by law or specifically stated by us in writing, custom, personalized, and made-to-order items are final sale and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or refund once production has begun.

We are not responsible for errors in customer-provided customization details, including names, initials, dates, ring sizes, addresses, or design instructions submitted with the order.

9. Jewelry Care and Product Use

Our jewelry should be worn and cared for responsibly. Exposure to water, chemicals, perfumes, lotions, sweat, friction, improper storage, or rough handling may affect the finish or longevity of the item.

We are not responsible for damage caused by:

  • improper care or storage;

  • normal wear and tear;

  • accidental damage;

  • misuse, alteration, repair, or modification by anyone other than us;

  • failure to follow any care instructions we provide.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and other jewelry items are used safely and appropriately.

10. Allergies and Materials Disclaimer

Some jewelry may contain metals, coatings, stones, adhesives, or other materials that may cause irritation or allergic reactions in certain individuals. It is your responsibility to review item descriptions and material information before purchasing.
