Terms of Service
Last updated: October 27, 2026
Welcome to Coastal Summit Studio! These terms explain how things work when you visit my website or buy from me. By using this site or placing an order, you agree to these terms.
1. About Coastal Summit Studio
Coastal Summit Studio is a small handmade jewelry business based in Novato, California. Throughout these terms, “I,” “me,” and “my” refer to Coastal Summit Studio, and “you” refers to anyone visiting the site or making a purchase.
2. Handmade products
Every piece is made by hand, so small variations in size, shape, and finish are part of its charm. Gemstones are natural, which means color, pattern, and inclusions vary and no two stones are exactly alike. I photograph my pieces as accurately as I can, but colors may look slightly different depending on your screen.
3. Pricing and payment
All prices are in U.S. dollars and may change without notice. If a product is listed at the wrong price or with incorrect information, I reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund. Payments are processed securely through Squarespace and its payment providers. I never see or store your full card details.
4. Orders
I reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order, for example if an item is unavailable or an order appears fraudulent. If your order is canceled, you’ll receive a full refund.
5. Shipping, returns, and exchanges
Details on processing times, delivery, returns, and exchanges are on my Shipping & Processing and Returns & Exchanges pages, which are part of these terms.
6. Jewelry care and use
Gold-filled jewelry is durable but needs a little care to stay beautiful. Please follow the guidance on my Jewelry Care page. I’m not responsible for damage caused by misuse, accidents, or normal wear over time. Jewelry contains small parts and isn’t intended for young children.
7. Intellectual property
All designs, photos, text, and graphics on this site belong to Coastal Summit Studio. Please don’t copy, reproduce, or use them without my written permission. Sharing links to my site or tagging me on social media is always welcome!
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Coastal Summit Studio isn’t liable for any indirect or incidental damages arising from the use of this site or my products. My total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the product involved.
9. Privacy
Your privacy matters to me. Please see my Privacy Policy to learn how I collect and use your information.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
11. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
12. Questions
If you have any questions about these terms, get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.
