TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: September 1, 2026

1. Overview

This website is operated under the name Kailash Spirit. Throughout this website, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the merchant operating Kailash Spirit.

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website, content, products, services, and any purchases made through the website.

By visiting our website, creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service and to any policies referenced in them, including our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Returns and Refund Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website or purchase our products.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any mandatory consumer right that applies to you under applicable law.

2. Eligibility and Account Responsibilities

You must be at least the age of legal majority in your place of residence, or have the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, to use this website or place an order.

If you create an account, you are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and current information;

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your login details;

  • Restricting access to your account and devices; and

  • Informing us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless prohibited by applicable law.

3. Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to present our products, materials, dimensions, colors, condition, origin, and other details as accurately as possible.

However:

  • Colors and textures may appear differently depending on your screen and lighting;

  • Dimensions and weights may contain minor measurement differences;

  • Photographs may not show every surface detail;

  • Packaging may change without notice; and

  • Product descriptions may be updated when additional information becomes available.

Please review all product photographs, descriptions, dimensions, condition notes, and care instructions before placing an order. If you require additional information, please contact us before purchasing.

4. Handmade, Natural, Aged, Antique, and One-of-a-Kind Objects

Many Kailash Spirit pieces are handmade, naturally finished, aged, antique, vintage, or one of a kind.

Variations may include differences in:

  • Color, tone, texture, and surface finish;

  • Shape, proportions, weight, and dimensions;

  • Hand-painted or hand-carved details;

  • Clay, mineral, textile, wood, metal, or other natural materials;

  • Patina, oxidation, fading, wear, restoration, or previous use; and

  • Other characteristics resulting from craftsmanship, age, storage, environment, or material behavior.

When these characteristics are disclosed in the product description or reasonably visible in the photographs, they form part of the object’s individual character and are not automatically considered defects.

One-of-a-kind, antique, vintage, and specially identified final-sale pieces cannot be replaced with an identical object. Please select these pieces carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.

5. Provenance, Age, Origin, and Documentation

Where we describe an object’s age, origin, maker, materials, cultural context, ritual context, ownership history, or provenance, the description is based on information reasonably available to us at the time of listing.

This information may come from:

  • Makers or workshops;

  • Previous owners or suppliers;

  • Existing records and documentation;

  • Physical examination;

  • Established artistic or material characteristics; or

  • Other information disclosed with the product.

The degree of certainty may vary between objects. Where relevant, we may use language such as “attributed to,” “believed to be,” “reported as,” “in the style of,” or “circa” to communicate these limitations.

We do not guarantee any fact that is not expressly stated in the product description or supporting documentation.

6. Cultural and Spiritual Information

Our website may contain information about Himalayan art, Buddhist traditions, sacred objects, artists, symbols, rituals, historical practices, or spiritual beliefs.

This information is provided for cultural, historical, educational, and storytelling purposes. It does not constitute medical, psychological, legal, financial, or professional advice.

No description, story, symbol, blessing reference, spiritual tradition, or customer experience should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of:

  • Healing or medical benefit;

  • Protection from harm;

  • Wealth, luck, or prosperity;

  • Relationship or career outcomes;

  • Spiritual attainment; or

  • Any other specific personal result.

Individual beliefs and experiences vary. Customers are responsible for deciding whether and how a product is appropriate for their personal practice, collection, display, or intended use.

Unless expressly documented in the individual product listing, we do not claim that an object was made, used, consecrated, blessed, or owned by any particular monastery, teacher, practitioner, or historical person.

7. Prices, Taxes, and Currency

Prices are displayed in the currency selected or shown on the website and may change without notice.

The final price presented at checkout may include applicable taxes depending on your location. Currency conversion rates and charges applied by banks, card issuers, or payment providers are outside our control.

For international orders, the recipient may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, handling fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country. Unless expressly stated at checkout, these charges are not included in the product price or shipping fee.

Refusal to pay customs or import charges does not automatically entitle the customer to a full refund. Any refund will be handled according to our Shipping Policy, Returns and Refund Policy, and applicable law.

8. Orders and Order Acceptance

Submitting an order does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

We may refuse, limit, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including when:

  • A product is unavailable or was sold elsewhere;

  • Product or pricing information contains a material error;

  • Payment cannot be authorized;

  • Billing, shipping, or account information appears inaccurate;

  • Fraudulent, unauthorized, or unlawful activity is suspected;

  • Quantity limits apply;

  • Delivery to the selected destination is unavailable or restricted; or

  • Fulfilling the order would violate applicable law.

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the affected amount to the original payment method unless another method is required by law or agreed with you.

Because some objects are one of a kind, it is possible for an item to become unavailable before inventory records are updated. In that event, we will notify you and issue the appropriate refund.

9. Billing and Payment Information

You agree to provide complete, current, and accurate billing, payment, contact, and delivery information.

You confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their terms and privacy practices may apply separately to the payment transaction.

We are not responsible for fees charged by your bank, card issuer, currency provider, or payment service.

10. Custom, Commissioned, and Personalized Orders

Custom, commissioned, made-to-order, altered, reserved, or personalized products may require additional production time and may be subject to special payment, cancellation, and return conditions.

Once materials have been sourced or work has begun, deposits or payments may become non-refundable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Unless defective, damaged, incorrectly supplied, or otherwise required by law, custom and personalized products are generally not eligible for change-of-mind returns.

Any estimated completion date is an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date. Handmade work, material availability, artist schedules, cultural observances, transport conditions, or events outside our reasonable control may affect production time.

The applicable details will be communicated in the product listing, invoice, order confirmation, or written correspondence.

11. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping options, estimated delivery times, costs, tracking, customs information, and delivery conditions are explained in our Shipping Policy.

Delivery dates are estimates unless expressly confirmed as guaranteed.

We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including:

  • Customs inspections;

  • Carrier disruptions;

  • Severe weather or natural events;

  • Incorrect or incomplete delivery information;

  • Import restrictions;

  • Labor disruptions;

  • Government actions; or

  • Other events that could not reasonably have been prevented.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address. Additional costs caused by an incorrect address, refused delivery, unclaimed parcel, or repeated delivery attempt may be deducted from any available refund where permitted by law.

12. Returns, Refunds, Repairs, and Cancellations

Returns, refunds, repairs, exchanges, cancellations, return shipping costs, restocking fees, and final-sale exclusions are governed by our Returns and Refund Policy.

Damaged, defective, or incorrectly supplied products must be reported according to the instructions and timeframes in that policy.

Nothing in our Returns and Refund Policy or these Terms limits any mandatory legal right available to you.

13. Care and Use of Products

Customers are responsible for following any care, display, storage, handling, cleaning, or safety instructions supplied with a product.

Many handmade, antique, textile, clay, mineral, wood, metal, or painted objects may be sensitive to:

  • Moisture and humidity;

  • Direct sunlight;

  • Extreme temperatures;

  • Smoke, oils, chemicals, and cleaning agents;

  • Impact, pressure, abrasion, or repeated handling; and

  • Improper mounting, storage, or transportation.

We are not responsible for deterioration or damage resulting from misuse, accidents, neglect, improper care, unauthorized repair, unsuitable environmental conditions, or normal wear, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Our products are not toys unless expressly identified as such. Small objects should be kept away from children and pets where they may present a choking or breakage hazard.

14. Intellectual Property

All content available through this website—including photographs, product descriptions, articles, designs, graphics, logos, branding, video, audio, layout, and original written material—is owned by or licensed to Kailash Spirit unless otherwise stated.

You may access the content for personal, non-commercial use.

Without prior written permission, you may not:

  • Copy, reproduce, republish, or distribute our content;

  • Use our photographs or descriptions to sell or promote other products;

  • Remove copyright, trademark, or attribution notices;

  • Create derivative commercial materials;

  • Scrape or systematically collect website content;

  • Misrepresent yourself as affiliated with Kailash Spirit; or

  • Use our branding, name, or content in a misleading manner.

Nothing on the website grants a license to use our trademarks, trade names, visual identity, or other intellectual property except as expressly permitted.

15. Reviews, Feedback, and User Content

If you submit a review, photograph, testimonial, comment, suggestion, or other content, you confirm that:

  • You have the right to submit it;

  • It does not infringe another person’s rights;

  • It is not unlawful, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or misleading;

  • It does not contain malicious code or unauthorized advertising; and

  • It does not contain another person’s private information without permission.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, translate, publish, and display content that you voluntarily submit for publication, promotion, or review purposes.

This license does not apply to private customer-service communications, payment information, or personal information except as permitted by our Privacy Policy.

We may remove public content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

16. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the website or our services:

  • For an unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose;

  • To violate intellectual property or privacy rights;

  • To submit false or misleading information;

  • To transmit viruses, malicious code, or harmful technology;

  • To interfere with the website’s security or operation;

  • To collect information about other users without authorization;

  • To impersonate another person or organization;

  • To make unauthorized commercial use of our content;

  • To place orders using stolen or unauthorized payment information; or

  • To resell products in a manner that falsely suggests authorization, partnership, or endorsement by Kailash Spirit.

We may suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe these restrictions have been violated.

17. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may include links to, integrations with, or services provided by third parties, including payment providers, delivery companies, social media platforms, analytics providers, and other websites.

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, availability, security, or actions, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

A link to a third-party website does not necessarily represent our endorsement of that website or its products.

18. Shopify

Our online store is hosted using Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to offer products and services online.

Your purchase is made from the merchant operating Kailash Spirit, not from Shopify, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Shopify and its service providers may process certain information as described in the applicable privacy notices and platform terms.

19. Website Availability and Accuracy

We may update, correct, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website without prior notice where reasonably necessary.

We do not guarantee that:

  • The website will always be available or uninterrupted;

  • Every error will be corrected immediately;

  • All content will remain available indefinitely; or

  • The website will be compatible with every device or browser.

We may correct typographical errors, inaccuracies, product information, availability, or pricing even after an order has been submitted. If a correction materially affects an accepted order, we will contact you and provide any remedy required by applicable law.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its general informational content are provided on an “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from every harmful component.

Product warranties, conformity rights, and remedies remain subject to the product description, our published policies, and any mandatory rights provided by applicable law.

Nothing in this section excludes warranties or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Kailash Spirit and its owners, employees, representatives, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from the use of the website or products where such loss was not reasonably foreseeable.

We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for:

  • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

  • Death or personal injury caused by negligence;

  • Intentional misconduct;

  • Mandatory product liability; or

  • Statutory consumer rights that cannot be excluded.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, our total liability relating to an individual purchase will not exceed the amount paid for the product giving rise to the claim, except where applicable law requires a different remedy.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, or reasonable costs resulting from your unlawful misuse of the website, infringement of another person’s rights, or material violation of these Terms.

This provision does not require a consumer to compensate us for losses caused by our own breach, negligence, or unlawful conduct.

23. Privacy

Our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.

By using the website, you acknowledge that your personal information may be processed by service providers required to operate the store, process payments, fulfill orders, provide support, and maintain website security, subject to applicable privacy law.

24. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the website where reasonably necessary because of fraud, misuse, security threats, unlawful conduct, or a material violation of these Terms.

Obligations that by their nature should continue after termination—including payment obligations, intellectual property provisions, liability limitations, and dispute provisions—will continue to apply.

25. Governing Law and Consumer Rights

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the merchant operating Kailash Spirit, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply in the customer’s place of residence.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of protections that cannot legally be waived under the laws applicable to your purchase.

Before beginning formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us so that we can make a reasonable effort to resolve the issue directly.

26. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or removed where necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

27. No Waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, this does not mean that we waive the right to enforce it later.

Any waiver must be made in writing and applies only to the specific matter for which it was given.

28. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Returns and Refund Policy, and any product-specific terms presented at checkout, form the agreement between you and Kailash Spirit concerning your use of the website and purchases.

If product-specific terms conflict with these general Terms, the product-specific terms will apply to that product to the extent of the conflict, subject to applicable law.

29. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our business, services, technology, policies, or legal obligations.

The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Changes will apply from the date of publication unless applicable law requires additional notice.

Terms that applied when an order was accepted will generally continue to govern that order unless otherwise required by law.
