This Terms and Conditions of Use Agreement (the “Terms of Use”) is a legal agreement between World CopperSmith, Inc., a Minnesota corporation whose notice address is contained below and/or any of its affiliates (“CopperSmith” or “Company”) and each user who has completed the registration process, provided information and/or is using the Company’s website (“User” or “you”) located at the domain name https://www.worldcoppersmith.com (“Website”). 

By using this Website; visiting or shopping with the Company, or utilizing any service or business offered by the Company, including, but not limited to gift cards, each User agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you or any User does not wish to be bound by the Terms of Use, you or such User must exit the Website now and may not use the Website or any services offered through the Website.

Please read the terms of this Agreement carefully.

TERMS

You must be at least eighteen (18) years or older to access the Website or Company’s products and services. Company provides the Website and various related services subject to User’s compliance with these Terms of Use and all the terms, conditions and notices contained or referenced herein, including the shipping and return policy available at https://www.worldcoppersmith.com/shipping-returns/, the privacy policy available at https://www.worldcoppersmith.com/privacy-policy/, as well as any other written agreement between the Company and User and any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services or materials which are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use.

MODIFICATION AND CHANGES

Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, change these Terms of Use from time to time without notice to User. User acknowledges and agrees that it is User’s responsibility to review this Website and these Terms of Use periodically and to be aware of any modifications. User’s continued use of this Website after such modifications will constitute User’s acknowledgment of the modified Terms of Use and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Terms of Use. If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition is deemed severed and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition. Company reserves the sole right to modify or discontinue the Website, including any features included, at any time with or without notice to User. Company shall not be liable to User or any third party if the Company chooses to exercise such right. Modifications may include, without limitation, changes in the pricing structure, warranty, shipping, returns, the addition of fee-based services or changes to limitations on allowable file sizes. Any new features that augment or enhance the services on the Website are also subject to the Terms of Use. The Website is provided “AS IS” with no warranty of any kind associated with the performance of the Website.

PAYMENT OF FEES

Fees due by the User for using certain services or purchasing products are either set out in a separate membership agreement or described elsewhere on the Website and are the sole responsibility of the User (“Fee”). Any such agreement is incorporated by reference. If User incurs a Fee, User agrees to pay all Fees. Company may utilize a third-party payment processor. Each User hereby authorizes Company to share any User information with third-parties for the purposes of processing payment of any Fee.

Company will bill all Fees to User’s credit card or other automatic payment options available and provided to Company by User. User agrees to provide Company with accurate and complete billing information, including valid credit card information, User’s name, address and telephone number and to provide Company with any changes in such information within five (5) calendar days of the change. If for any reason, User’s credit card company refuses to pay the Fee, User agrees that Company may require User to pay any unpaid amount due upon demand (“Default”) by other means acceptable to Company. If legal action is necessary to collect any Fees due, User agrees to reimburse Company for all expenses incurred to recover Fees due, including collection fees, attorney fees, and other expenses. 

CANCELLATION POLICY

Orders canceled within 24 hours after being placed will be 100% refunded. After the 24-hour window, orders will be subject to a minimum 10% production fee without exception. Orders canceled in the design phase (after 24-hour window, but prior to CAD drawing approval), will be refunded only 50% of the total sale price. Once the customer approves the CAD drawing, the order is placed into production and ALL SALES ARE FINAL, meaning that all order will not be eligable for cancelation or a refund.

PRIVACY 

Registration Data. In order to access some of the Services on the Website, User will require a separate account, password and/or other information and data provided to Company in connection with the use of the Website (“Registration Data”).

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR PRODUCT PURCHASES

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

In-stock products ordered with CopperSmith have an estimated transit time of five (5) to twelve (12) business days. This does not include weekends or holidays as deliveries are conducted on business days only.

Custom or made-to-order products can take up to twelve (12) weeks for delivery from the date the CAD drawing is approved by the customer, depending on the type of product ordered. For custom or made-to-order products, production and delivery lead times are estimates. In the unlikely case of a custom or made-to-order product(s) exceeding 24 weeks from the CAD approval date, the customer has the right to cancel the custom or made-to-order product(s) for a full refund.

While the large majority of our orders arrive within the lead times shown, all delivery dates provided to the customer are good faith estimates due to multiple variables during transit and therefore are not guaranteed by CopperSmith. The handmade nature of our products does not allow us to make delivery date guarantees, only estimates. Our number one priority is quality and some orders may require more time to ensure the highest quality is met.

Free shipping does not pertain to orders being shipped to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico or any foreign countries. Standard Shipping includes delivery to, and not beyond, the threshold or lobby/service area of a high-rise building. Please note that stairs to the front door or first dry area are not included with this delivery service. 

CopperSmith is not responsible for any additional shipping charges or fees thereafter and shipping charges are subject to change without prior notification to the customer. Any additional charges accrued with the delivery company will be transferred to the customer. These include, but are not limited to, isolated zip or postal codes (e.g. back road, islands, etc.), missed attempt delivery charges, storage fees, additional delivery services and/or other potential charges to the product(s) ordered. Once an order has been set up for shipment, we cannot accept any changes to the product(s) ordered. It is the customer's responsibility to keep track of the order from shipment to delivery.

RISK OF LOSS

All items purchased from Company are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to User upon our delivery to the carrier.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

The Company attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Company does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this Website are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error‐free. If a product offered by Company itself is not as described, User’s sole remedy is to return the product in unused condition.

PURCHASE ORDERS AND FORM ISSUES

These Terms of Use supersede all prior proposals, negotiations, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties, including those contained in any confidentiality agreements, and all terms and conditions contained in any Customer-provided purchase orders or other provided documents and constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between Customer and Company regarding the subject matter hereof, and the Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of the Company which is not set out in these Terms of Use. 

Any reference to a purchase order or similar documentation on an invoice or other acceptance thereof is solely for Customer's convenience in record keeping, and no such reference or the provision of Services to Customer shall be deemed an acknowledgement of or agreement to any terms or conditions associated with any such purchase order or other Customer-provided documentation. Any such associated terms and conditions shall be of no force and effect, and shall not in any way be deemed to amend, modify, supersede, alter or supplement these Terms or Use.

RETURNS, REFUNDS & CLAIMS

  • Any item that is not in resalable condition

  • Any item without a prior return authorization

PLEASE NOTE that copper, bronze, steel and nickel products are fabricated from natural elements and are therefore subject to imperfections and/or inconsistencies in color, texture, and patina. Variations are normal and should be expected. Variations are not considered defects and are not eligible for return.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RETURN MY PRODUCTS?

If you are not satisfied with your order, we will accept a return up to 15 business days from the receipt of goods. Please note that all return requests must be completed within this 15 day period. Under no circumstances will merchandise be accepted for return after 15 days of the delivery date. Therefore, we ask that you check your order immediately upon receipt.

HOW DO I RETURN MY PRODUCTS?

All returns must be authorized prior to shipping. To request a return, please fill out the Return of Merchandise Authorization Request form and our customer service team will assist you with the return. Any product returned without authorization, returned to the incorrect location, or returned in a damaged or unsaleable condition are subject to additional fees that will be deducted from your final refund.

PLEASE NOTE that returned products must include all original documentation, parts and associated pieces, and must be returned in new condition, with no missing hardware. All items must be returned in their original packaging, or the return will not be accepted. We cannot, under any circumstance accept returns that have been installed.

WHO PAYS FOR RETURN SHIPPING?

The shipment of a return is to be independently arranged and covered by the customer. Just like most return policies we are only able to accept returned items that are in-stock items, in original packaging and new condition. This means that products with any scratches, stains, damages, or modifications cannot be returned. Please note that any shipping charges incurred from the original order are not able to be refunded once these services have been provided by the carrier.

HOW DO I GET A REFUND?

To request a refund, please fill out the Return of Merchandise Authorization Request and our customer service team will assist you. Any product returned without authorization, returned to the incorrect location, or returned in a damaged or unsaleable condition are subject to additional fees that will be deducted from your final refund.

As soon as the product(s) are received back to our warehouse and upon inspection of the returned product(s) our team will issue your refund minus a restocking fee equal to 25% of the purchase price. Please note that a minimum 25% restocking fee applies to all returns. Per inspection, as long as the product is found in new condition and received in its original packaging, you will be issued the refund you are due. If a returned product is determined to be in a damaged or unsaleable condition, it will be subject to additional fees being deducted from the credit, or the credit may be denied completely. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to appear on your account after issuance.

MY PRODUCT ARRIVED DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE. WHAT DO I DO?

We stand behind the quality of products we sell. While cases are rare, damages and defects do happen once in a while. It is imperative that you inspect your package for damage before signing the delivery receipt or proof of delivery. 

You must note the damages with the driver or shipping company at the time of delivery. If the package is damaged in transit, please refuse the delivery and SIGN THE DELIVERY RECEIPT AS DAMAGED.

DO NOT DESTROY ORIGINAL PACKAGING. Products not shipped in the original packaging will not be covered by CopperSmith and will NOT BE ELIGIBLE for return, exchange or DAMAGED REPLACEMENT if applicable.

To file a claim you must contact us via email at [email protected] within three (3) calendar days of delivery and our customer service team will assist you.  Claims received in excess of three (3) calendar days beyond the delivery will not be accepted. Photographs must be clear and attached to your claim within three (3) calendar days. Please note that photographs are required to process damage claims and we will not be able to process your claim without photographs. Take photographs of the damaged item and packaging for your records, and e-mail a copy to [email protected] along with your damage claim information.

CopperSmith’s products are for indoor use only, unless explicitly specified, and as such will not cover the cost for damaged or defective items in the event that the product(s) was made damaged or defective as a result of customer negligence. 

If you have any questions concerning your order or delivery please call CopperSmith directly at 1-888-431-4677 or email us at [email protected].

PRODUCT WARRANTY

CopperSmith offers a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturer defects including mechanical malfunctions, leaking, structural damage, finishes, welds and basin slopes. All products must be inspected for warranty or defects prior to installation. If a defect is found, CopperSmith will, at its election, repair, replace or make appropriate adjustments to the warranted product. We do not offer a money-back warranty. 

Normal wear and tear or damage from daily use are not warranted. Copper, bronze, steel and nickel products can be expected to naturally change over time with normal use. Products are fabricated from natural elements and are therefore subject to imperfections and/or inconsistencies, or variances in color, texture, and patina, which are not covered under our warranty. Other exclusions include damages incurred as a result of installation, misuse or abuse of the product, replacement or repair, alteration of product, and damages due to improper cleaning or neglect.

CopperSmith warranty claims cover the product only and do not cover the following: product modifications by the User, client or installer, expedited shipping or production costs, installation costs resulting from the removal of the defective product, or reinstallation costs of a replacement.

If you would like to make a warranty claim, please contact us directly by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-431-4677.

WRITING GUIDELINES

CopperSmith is interested in publishing product reviews that you provide, so please comply with the following guidelines:

  • Keep your review focused on the product.
  • Avoid writing about customer service, contact us instead if you have issues requiring immediate attention.
  • Refrain from mentioning competitors or the specific price you paid for the product.
  • Do not include any personally identifiable information, such as full names.

Because this is a public site, we moderate all reviews before posting them. Reviews containing any of the following types of content may be rejected or removed:

  • Reviews that are not about the product. Feedback about customer service or shipping issues is not a product review and should instead be handled by our Customer Service Team. Please contact us, or call 1-888-431-4677 for assistance.
  • Please contact us directly at 1-888-431-4677 if you have safety concerns about a product you are reviewing. We flag reviews with these concerns and share them with our Product Safety Team to investigate and react accordingly.
  • Reviews that contain offensive or inappropriate content: Profanity, obscenities, discriminatory language or other languages not suitable for public forums.
  • Advertisements, “spam” content or references to other products, offers or websites.
  • E-mail addresses, URLs that take customers off worldcoppersmith.com, phone numbers, physical addresses or other forms of contact information.
  • Critical or spiteful comments on other reviews posted on the page or their author.
  • Promotional reviews – we do not permit vendors to submit reviews about their products (or negative reviews about their competitor’s products) in order to maintain the integrity of our product reviews content.
  • Fake Reviews – We do not permit reviews posted by people that have been compensated (financial or otherwise) for their feedback.
