Terms & Conditions
Made by Marie Designs
Welcome to Made by Marie Designs.
By placing an order, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
1. Handmade & Personalised Items
All items are handmade and many are personalised or custom-made to order. Due to the handmade nature of products, slight variations in colour, placement, fabric pattern and finish may occur. This makes each item unique.
2. Personalised Orders
Customers are responsible for checking:
- spelling
- dates
- names
- colours
- sizes
- custom details
before confirming an order.
Made by Marie Designs cannot accept responsibility for errors supplied by the customer once production has begun.
3. Memory Keepsakes & Supplied Clothing
When supplying clothing or fabrics for memory keepsakes:
- all items should be clean before posting
- customers should ensure treasured items are packaged securely
While every care is taken when handling sentimental items, Made by Marie Designs cannot be held responsible for:
- existing wear or weakness in fabrics
- damage caused by delicate, aged or unstable materials
- items lost or damaged in transit
Some fabrics may not be suitable for keepsakes due to stretch, wear, thickness or delicate construction. If any concerns arise, options will always be discussed before work begins.
4. Turnaround Times
Turnaround times may vary depending on:
- order size
- seasonal demand
- custom requirements
Estimated times are provided where possible but may occasionally change.
5. Payments
Full payment may be required before work begins on personalised or custom orders.
Orders will not be started until payment has been received unless otherwise agreed.
6. Cancellations & Returns
Under UK consumer law, personalised and custom-made items are generally exempt from cancellation and return rights unless faulty.
Due to the personalised nature of products:
- returns
- exchanges
- cancellations
cannot usually be accepted once work has started.
If there is an issue with your order, please get in touch as soon as possible and every effort will be made to help.
7. Colours & Photographs
Colours may appear slightly different depending on:
- screen settings
- lighting
- fabric availability
