In the instance an item is faulty, the item must be returned for inspection.

It is our aim that you never receive a faulty item however with handmade items we do from time to time run into human error in the manufacturing process. If this is the case we will try our best to rectify as quickly as possible.

Not 6 months, not a year later, 30 days.
