Please read these terms and conditions carefully before purchasing. By placing an order you indicate to us your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

CUSTOM DESIGN WORK

Refunds & Deposits

All deposits paid to Lily Maree Designs are strictly non-refundable. By securing your booking and paying a deposit, you are reserving time in our production schedule and agreeing to the commencement of services, which include but are not limited to: design work, communication, proofing, sampling, custom material orders, and setup for print production.

Due to the bespoke and handcrafted nature of our work, substantial time and resources are invested from the outset of each project. This includes time spent on client communication, custom design development, physical mock-ups, database preparation, sample production, ordering of materials, and the use of non-reusable items such as photopolymer plates and letterpress setup.

Please note that out-of-pocket expenses for materials are additional to the value of the deposit, which also covers professional service time. Time is a billable resource, and as such, payment for time spent on design, consultation, and coordination is non-refundable.

By paying an invoice, you acknowledge and agree to this clause.

Handcrafted Item Disclaimer

All items created by Lily Maree Designs are handcrafted, and as such, variations may occur. These may include, but are not limited to: differences in the width or fraying of hand-torn silk ribbon, the opacity or impression depth of letterpress ink, the shape and finish of wax seals, and the precise alignment or placement (adhesion) of envelope liners and other applied embellishments. These variations are inherent in the handmade process and are considered part of the character and uniqueness of each piece.

By placing an order, the client acknowledges and accepts that differences may occur between individual items or batches. These are not deemed faults or defects and do not constitute grounds for a refund, return, or exchange. Refunds will not be issued for such variances under any circumstances. 

By paying an invoice, you are agreeing to this clause and all terms outlined herein.

Questions about our Terms and Conditions should be sent to us at danielle@lilymareedesigns.com.au

Production Timeline Disclaimer

All production timelines provided by Lily Maree Designs are estimates only and are subject to change. While every effort is made to meet the advised timeframes, delays may occur due to the nature of handcrafted work and personal circumstances. As a mother of two young children, a wife, and a legally disabled individual, there may be times when production or delivery timelines are extended.

By placing an order, the client acknowledges and accepts that timelines are approximate and may vary. Delays do not constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, or compensation under any circumstances.

By paying an invoice issues by Lily Maree Designs, you are agreeing to this clause and all terms outlined herein.
