This is the current version of the Terms and Conditions for karinamercier.com, updated June 6, 2024.
Prices, sales taxes and currency
Please note that, as a small-scale artisan, I am not required to charge taxes at this time. Therefore, no sales tax will be added to the prices on this site.
All prices displayed on karinamercier.com are in Canadian dollars. If you pay in another currency, the conversion will be done by Square, the payment processing service, at the time of payment. You will not see the converted amount before proceeding.
If you buy in one of my Etsy shops (karinamercier.etsy.com and atelierkarinamercier.etsy.com), the platform will add the applicable sales taxes on your order. Etsy will display prices in the currency you have chosen for your account.
Product prices, as well as shipping prices, displayed on karinamercier.com and on my Etsy stores can be changed at any time, without notice.
Accuracy of information
Despite the measures taken to ensure the accuracy of the information published on the site, I cannot guarantee that it is free of errors or omissions. Karina Mercier reserves the right to modify, update, or delete any information on her website without notice, including descriptions and prices of items, shipping prices, and product availability. I reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order that includes an item with an incorrect product description or price.
In the event of an inventory error and an ordered item is no longer in stock, a refund will be issued unless a replacement agreement is made with the customer. An item that cannot be delivered, for any reason, will never be replaced with another product without the explicit consent of the customer.
If there is a discrepancy between the characteristics of a received product and its description, you will be fully refunded after returning the item.
Order error
If you receive a damaged or defective product or a product that is different from the one ordered, or if there’s any other error in your order, please contact info@karinamercier.com as soon as possible. I will do everything in my power to correct the situation. Depending on the case, a replacement product will be sent to you or a refund will be issued. Photos of the received product may be requested.
Returns
If a product you received is not the right size or color, or if you prefer not to keep it, it is usually possible to return it for an exchange or refund. Certain conditions apply. For general terms and conditions regarding returns and refunds, see the return policy.
