Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern all purchases made through the Raesirvasbua website. By placing an order, the buyer agrees to these terms. The terms were last updated on November 1, 2026.

Parties and scope

The seller is Margaret Elaine Thorn, a sole proprietor operating under the trading name Raesirvasbua, offering macrame cord, wooden rings, and wooden dowels to buyers in Canada. These terms apply to every order placed through the website. The buyer is the individual or entity placing the order. These terms do not apply to resale arrangements unless a separate written agreement is in place. The seller reserves the right to refuse an order at any stage before dispatch.

Products and specifications

Product specifications — including cord thickness, color code, dye lot reference, ring diameter, and dowel dimensions — are published on the product page at the time of listing. The seller makes reasonable efforts to keep listings accurate and up to date. Natural variation in wood grain color and texture, and minor dye lot variation within the same lot reference, are inherent properties of natural materials and are not defects. The buyer is responsible for reviewing the product specification before placing an order.

Pricing and payment

All prices shown on the website are in Canadian dollars and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. Prices are final at the time the order is confirmed. Bulk pricing is applied automatically at checkout when the minimum quantity threshold is reached. Payment is due in full at the time of order. The seller does not offer payment by instalment or deposit arrangements. The seller reserves the right to update prices at any time; updated prices apply to new orders only.

Order confirmation and dispatch

An order confirmation email is sent to the buyer's email address after payment is processed. This confirmation constitutes acceptance of the order. The hand-over date — the date on which the parcel is dispatched by the seller — is noted in the dispatch confirmation email. Standard dispatch times are two to three business days from order confirmation. The seller does not guarantee specific delivery dates, as transit time is controlled by the courier service.

Review window and defect reporting

The buyer has 14 days from the hand-over date to review the delivered order and report any discrepancy between the items delivered and the items listed on the order confirmation. This is the review window. The buyer has 30 days from the hand-over date to report a confirmed defect — a wrong thickness, a short quantity, or a wrong color code — for correction at no additional charge. This is the fix window. Reports must be submitted in writing through the contact form and must include the order reference, the delivery date, a description of the discrepancy, and a photograph where the issue is visible.

Defects and corrections

A defect is defined as an item delivered that does not match the specification on the order confirmation: wrong thickness, quantity less than invoiced, or wrong color code. A preference for a different product after delivery is not a defect. Natural material variation in color or texture within the same product line is not a defect. Confirmed defects reported within the 30-day fix window are corrected by dispatching the missing or correct item at no additional charge. Corrections for reports submitted after the fix window are treated as new orders and quoted separately.

Limitation of liability

The seller's liability is limited to the value of the items subject to a confirmed defect report submitted within the fix window. The seller is not liable for delays caused by third-party courier services, for changes made by raw material suppliers to dye lots or product specifications after an order is dispatched, or for losses arising from the buyer's use of the delivered items in a project. Nothing in these terms limits the buyer's rights under applicable Canadian consumer protection legislation.

Complaints

Complaints about the handling of a defect report or about the service generally may be submitted in writing through the contact form. The complaints procedure is published on the Complaints page of the website. Every written complaint is acknowledged within two business days and receives a full response within seven business days. If a complaint is not resolved to the buyer's satisfaction, the buyer may escalate to the relevant provincial consumer protection authority. The seller's complaints process does not affect the buyer's statutory rights.

Governing law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any dispute arising from a purchase that cannot be resolved through the complaints process may be referred to the courts of Ontario or to the applicable provincial consumer protection authority. The buyer retains all rights provided under Canadian consumer protection legislation, and nothing in these terms is intended to limit those rights.
