Terms & Conditions

  • Introduction: The purpose of this document is to specify the Terms and Conditions through which Mountain Maiden Made Paper Crafts sells physical items online. By using this website for purchasing products, the buyer agrees to these terms. Hereafter in this document the term "Seller" refers to Michelle Rypinski, DBA "Mountain Maiden Made" in California, USA; the term "Buyer" refers to any and all customers purchasing physical items through this website; the term "Goods" refers to physical items for sale on this website; and the term "Price" refers to the advertised monetary value charged for each physical product and for various shipping methods necessary to deliver physical products purchased via this website to remotely located buyers.

  • Products and Orders:

    • Product Descriptions: As items are handmade, slight variations in color, size, or design may occur compared to website photos. This is a normal and necessary circumstance with handmade paper crafted items which, by nature, are one-of-a-kind despite the use of identical, digital file templates used to create them.

    • Pricing and Payment: Accepted payment methods, prices, and any additional costs such as shipping, packaging, and taxes are specified per product on our Product Pages and Checkout Carts.

    • Order Acceptance: Mountain Maiden Made has the right to accept or decline any order.

    • Minimum Orders/Wholesale: Mountain Maiden Made has no minimum order requirements. We do not presently service wholesale accounts.

  • Shipping and Delivery:

    • Processing and Shipping Times: Estimated timelines for order processing and delivery are 2-3 days for physical production (hand making of) Pop-up or Layered Card orders and 3-5 days for physical production (hand making of) 3D layered 8" x 8" Wood Framed wall art. An additional 3-5 days mailing/shipping time is necessary after physical production of an order is completed. Therefore, buyers can expect an estimated 5 - 10 days' timeline between the initial placing of their online order with complete payment and their receiving physical products purchased through their chosen shipping/mailing method. Potential variations for custom orders will be discussed at times of purchase.

    • Risk of Loss: The risk of loss for items passes to the buyer in the event of completed, physically produced purchases successfully mailed/shipped to buyers with package received verification by shipping providers (e.g., USPS certified mail, FedEx and/or UPS photo "Proof of Delivery", etc.).

  • Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations:

    • General Returns: Mountain Maiden Made's Return Policy, timeframes for returns, and conditions for accepted items (e.g., undamaged) are clearly stated in the "Return Policy" page of this website.

    • Custom Orders: Custom or personalized cards are non-returnable/non-refundable. Buyers will understand, acknowledge, and agree to this condition upon their placing a custom or personalized order.

    • Return Shipping Costs: The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs if they simply changed their mind about purchasing a non-custom/non-personalized Mountain Maiden Made Paper Craft. 

  • Intellectual Property & Copyright: This is crucial for creative businesses.
