CraftMall.com is a service of Visual Dynamics® LLC. By registering for an
account on CraftMall.com, you are bound by the terms and policies described
within this agreement.
EMAIL POLICY
Due to the nature of Internet commerce, you are required to frequently check
your email when opening an account on CraftMall.com. Providing a timely response
to customer inquires and order processing is paramount to running a successful
business on the web.
SHIPMENT TRACKING NUMBERS
While we do not require you to provide a tracking number when shipping orders to
your customers, we highly advise you to do so. Providing a shipment tracking
number has become a standard for 99.9% of all Internet based sales and sellers
who do not provide shipment tracking numbers are often considered by many as
"unprofessional". It is also important to note that in the event that a customer
files a complaint that they never received their item or items, and you did not
ship with a tracking number, there is no way to verify the arrival of the
shipment. In such an event, you will be required to either refund their money or
reship the item or items.
BILLING POLICY
There are no contracts or required time commitments to open an account on
CraftMall.com. All service fees are billed monthly and will show on your bank
statement as "CraftMall.com". You are required to keep your credit card
information up-to-date for your account on CraftMall.com for proper monthly
billing. In the event that your credit card has expired or is declined, we will
notify you via the email address provided for your account. It is common
courtesy to reply to us in a timely manner in order to resolve the situation. If
your account becomes overdue, your account will be suspended and your products
will no longer be available for sale on CraftMall.com.
Due to the resources required to provide this service and the costs associated
with electronic processing, all sales are final. You can close your account at
any time, however, if your account closure occurs after your account has been
billed for the next month of service, the charge will not be refunded.
Furthermore, our accounting system is maintained by humans. Account closures can
take up to 3 business days to process. It is your responsibility to provide
adequate time for your account closure to be processed and a 3 business day
advance notice is required. If in the event that your account closure is
initiated after your monthly billing date or is initiated without adequate time
to process the closure and you are billed, the charge will not be refunded.
PRIVACY POLICY
All crafters must abide by the privacy policy set in place for this web site as
a whole. Any and all customer information collected on this web site will be
kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, disclosed, or
loaned. Any information provided by the customer will be held with the utmost
care and will not be used in ways that the customer has not consented to.
SERVICE USAGE
