Conditions of Use

Welcome to Handmade Products Directory. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Conditions of Use. These terms apply to visitors, shoppers, makers, artisans, businesses, and anyone submitting or maintaining a listing on Handmade Products Directory.

Purpose of Handmade Products Directory

Handmade Products Directory is an online directory designed to help shoppers discover independent makers, artisans, crafters, and creative small businesses by craft, specialty, and location.

Handmade Products Directory does not manufacture, sell, ship, or fulfill the products offered by businesses listed in the directory unless specifically stated otherwise. Listings may contain links that direct visitors to a maker's own website, online shop, marketplace store, social media page, or other third-party service.

Transactions With Listed Businesses

Any purchase, payment, order, shipping arrangement, return, refund, warranty, or other transaction made with a listed business is between the customer and that business.

Handmade Products Directory is not a party to transactions completed on third-party websites and is not responsible for a seller's products, pricing, availability, shipping, customer service, return policies, or business practices.

Business Listings

Businesses submitting listings are responsible for providing accurate and current information about their business, products, services, website, location, and contact information.

Submitting a listing does not guarantee acceptance, continued publication, search placement, traffic, sales, or customer inquiries.

Handmade Products Directory reserves the right to review, edit, reject, suspend, or remove listings that violate these Conditions of Use, contain misleading information, appear fraudulent, are no longer active, or are otherwise considered inappropriate for the directory.

Acceptable Use

You may not use Handmade Products Directory to submit false or misleading information, impersonate another person or business, distribute spam, interfere with the operation or security of the website, or engage in fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive activity.

Automated activity that places an unreasonable load on the website, attempts to collect protected information, bypasses security measures, or interferes with normal website operation may be restricted or blocked.

Intellectual Property

Business owners are responsible for ensuring that photographs, logos, descriptions, trademarks, and other content submitted with their listings may legally be used and published.

Submitting content to Handmade Products Directory gives Handmade Products Directory permission to display that content as necessary to operate and promote the directory and the submitted business listing.

Content owned by Handmade Products Directory, including original website text, design elements, branding, and other materials, may not be copied or redistributed without permission except where permitted by law.

Third-Party Websites

Handmade Products Directory may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties. These websites have their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and business policies.

Handmade Products Directory does not control third-party websites and cannot guarantee their availability, accuracy, security, products, services, or content. Visitors should review the policies of a third-party website before making a purchase or providing personal or payment information.

Directory Information

We make reasonable efforts to maintain useful and accurate directory information, but we cannot guarantee that every listing, link, business description, location, product offering, or other piece of information will always be complete or current.

Visitors should verify important information directly with the listed business before making purchasing or other decisions.

Availability of the Website

Handmade Products Directory may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, security measures, upgrades, or circumstances beyond our control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the website.

Limitation of Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Handmade Products Directory is not responsible for losses, damages, disputes, or claims resulting from transactions or interactions between visitors and independently operated businesses listed in the directory.

Changes to These Conditions

These Conditions of Use may be updated as Handmade Products Directory grows, new features are introduced, or policies change. Updated conditions become effective when published on this website.

Continued use of Handmade Products Directory after changes are posted indicates acceptance of the updated Conditions of Use.
