TermsofService

Please carefully read all terms and conditions of service (advertising) before becoming an advertising member of the Down the Handmade Path marketplace.

Naturally, your products must be handmade by you in America; not purchased/foreign. It is understood that you may provide accessories (on a small scale) needed to complete your patterns/designs, and this is acceptable. Otherwise, all of your products must be handmade/designed by you.

What constitutes handmade? For the purpose of this marketplace, handmade includes anything that you make by hand. "By hand" includes items that are created digitally; products such as clipart, graphics, printables, and web designs that are your unique creations within copyright.

Down the Handmade Path is a website that promotes handmade/designed primitive, folk art, and craft items. Please be advised that your website must coincide with these intensions. If you are unsure if your website coincides with DtHP’s intentions, please feel free to browse the listing categories and contact DtHP for more information/guidance.

You must be a family-friendly website. Therefore, any inappropriate content within your site, or links to inappropriate content from your site, must not be contained on your website in order to advertise with DtHP. We thank you for abiding by this guideline!

Down the Handmade Path has the sole right and discretion to make advertising changes/decisions and to deny a listing for reason of content.

Down the Handmade Path reserves the sole right and authority to deny any advertising that does not meet the terms and conditions of service before postings are made. All decisions will be made by DtHP unilaterally and in its sole discretion. If you are denied for some reason, before any listings have been posted to DtHP, you will be notified and a refund of fees will be issued.

DtHP reserves the sole right and authority to remove any advertising that does not meet terms and conditions of service after postings have been made. All decisions will be made by DtHP unilaterally and in its sole discretion. Periodic checks will be made to ensure that the content of DtHP remains appropriate and fulfills its mission. In the case that a member has not fulfilled the terms of service, and it has been brought to DtHP’s attention, such advertising will be removed, membership will be lost, and no refund will be given.

Down the Handmade Path will do periodic checks to ensure that links are active. If a “dead” (inactive) link is found by DtHP, you will be notified by e-mail. If you are experiencing temporary difficulties, your link will remain on the site. If the link does not become active within 30 days of e-mail notification, the link will be removed. If DtHP receives notification from you that the link is permanently inactive, your link will be removed. If DtHP does not receive an e-mail response from you regarding your inactive link, within 10 days, your link will be removed. No refunds will be given in the case of temporary or permanently inactive links to your site.

If a violation of the terms and conditions of service is deemed accidental, Down the Handmade Path may reinstate advertising membership, but DtHP has the sole right and discretion to make this decision. In the case that DtHP deems a violation accidental, and advertising is reinstate, no further violations can be made to retain advertising membership. If further violations are made, advertising will be immediately removed without appeal.
