Terms of Service
Last updated: January 1, 2024
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Terra Studio's website, purchasing products, or participating in classes, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access our services.
2. Products and Orders
Handmade Nature: All our pottery is handcrafted. Each piece is unique and may vary slightly in size, color, and texture from photographs. These variations are part of the handmade character and are not defects.
Pricing: All prices are in USD and subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue products without prior notice.
Order Acceptance: Your order constitutes an offer to buy. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to product availability, errors in pricing, or suspected fraud.
Payment: Payment is due at the time of purchase for standard orders. Custom orders require a 50% deposit with the balance due before shipping or pickup.
3. Shipping and Delivery
Processing Time: Standard orders ship within 3-5 business days. Custom orders follow the timeline discussed during consultation (typically 4-12 weeks).
Shipping Carriers: We ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx depending on package size and destination. Tracking information will be provided via email.
Risk of Loss: All items are shipped insured. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier. If your package is lost or damaged in transit, contact us within 48 hours.
International Shipping: International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or fees imposed by their country.
4. Returns and Refunds
Damage in Transit: If your item arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours with photos. We will replace the item or issue a full refund.
Change of Mind: Due to the handmade nature of our products, we do not accept returns for change of mind. Please review product photos and dimensions carefully before ordering.
Custom Orders: Custom orders are non-refundable once production has begun. Deposits are non-refundable.
Refund Processing: Approved refunds will be processed within 5-7 business days to your original payment method.
5. Classes and Workshops
Registration: Class registration is complete upon receipt of full payment. Spots are not reserved until payment is processed.
Cancellation by You: Full refunds are available up to 48 hours before class. Within 48 hours, we offer class credit valid for 6 months. No-shows forfeit their registration fee.
Cancellation by Us: We reserve the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment, instructor illness, or unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.
Class Materials: All materials are included in class fees unless otherwise noted. You may keep pieces you create (subject to firing and glazing, which adds 2-3 weeks to pickup).
Liability Waiver: Participants must sign a liability waiver before class. Working with clay and kilns involves some inherent risks. Participants assume responsibility for following safety instructions.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Terra Studio, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your use of our services, violation of these terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
9. Governing Law
