Terms of Service
Welcome to Madoido Africa. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and the purchase of our handcrafted accessories and lifestyle collections. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. General Overview & Eligibility
Madoido Africa is a United States-based brand offering handcrafted jewelry, accessories, and cultural adornments created in partnership with skilled artisans across Africa. By placing an order, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
2. Product Characteristics & Artisan Disclaimer
Due to the authentic, handmade nature of our collections:
-
Unique Variations: Natural materials (including brass, beads, wood, bone, and textiles) feature inherent variations in color, texture, shape, and weight. These differences are intentional characteristics of ancestral craftsmanship, not manufacturing defects.
-
Display Accuracy: We strive to display product colors and dimensions accurately. However, actual colors may vary depending on your display screen or monitor settings.
-
Availability: Products are often produced in limited artisan batches. We reserve the right to limit order quantities or discontinue any product at any time without notice.
3. Orders, Pricing, and Payment
-
Pricing: All prices are listed in US Dollars ($ USD) unless explicitly stated otherwise. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors or update pricing at any time.
-
Taxes: Customers are responsible for applicable sales tax based on their US shipping destination, calculated automatically at checkout.
-
Order Acceptance: Your receipt of an order confirmation does not signify our final acceptance. We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel any order for reasons including inventory shortages, suspected fraudulent activity, or listing errors.
4. Shipping, International Delivery, and Customs
-
Domestic & International Shipping: Shipping costs and estimated delivery windows are calculated at checkout. Madoido Africa is not liable for shipping delays caused by carrier disruptions, severe weather, or postal strikes.
-
Customs, Duties, & Import Fees: For orders shipped outside the United States, the recipient is the importer of record. You are solely responsible for any local import duties, customs clearance charges, and foreign value-added taxes (VAT) incurred upon arrival.
