Any information you provide is used solely for the stated purpose unless you agree in advance to additional use. You may request at any time to be removed from our lists. Refreshed Design's website may use "cookies" to collect information, but basic information about your computer and its connection to the Internet (for example, the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access the website, etc.). The generic information collected by cookies is used only to assist in site management and development for statistical purposes. See cookie policy. This website contains links to other websites and Refreshed Designs is not responsible for the privacy policies of third party websites.

Information contained in these pages is not intended to be, and should not be taken as, advice. All information provided through this website, on our blog or through Refreshed Design's email subscription are provided "as-is, where-is" and without any warranties of any kind, including the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Your use of this website does not constitute or establish a contractual relationship with Refreshed Designs. 

(3) Third Party Information Disclaimer - Certain links on this site lead to websites controlled by other parties over whom Refreshed Designs has no control. Therefore, Refreshed Designs makes no representation or warranty concerning the content or accuracy of third party information and expressly disclaims any liability therefore.

(4) Copyright & Trademark - This site and all the information it contains, including, but not limited to, articles, blog posts, designs, drawings, illustrations, photographs, videos, opinions, text, guides, trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos ("Protected Information") are the property of Refreshed Designs, its contributors, and licensors and is protected from unauthorized use, copying, distribution and dissemination by Canadian Copyright law, trademark law, international conventions, and other intellectual property laws. All rights reserved. You may not use our Protected Information without Refreshed Design's express written consent.

(5) Use of Images & Downloads

Most of the images and all of the downloadable/printable products on this site and my social media sites are my own, and I'm very happy to share these with you, but please give credit and link back. The images and downloads are not for commercial use or redistribution. While I have taken care on this site to credit others' images properly when used, if I have not done so correctly, please let me know and I’ll make it right.

(6) Payments

You represent and warrant that if you are purchasing something from us, (i) any credit information you supply is true and complete, (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your bank or credit card company, (iii) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes, and (iv) if your initial payment method is dishonored, you will still pay the incurred charges, including any surcharge we may incur due to the dishonored payment.

(7) Refund and Return Policy

Since all products are immediate-access online courses and electronic downloads, we do not provide refunds.

(8) Affiliate Links

I sometimes work with affiliates and receive affiliate income from products I promote. These companies and products will always be from craftspeople, artists and brands that I genuinely admire and feel good about. They will align with the natural, simple and sustainable standards I adhere to. Using affiliate links does not cost you anything; but it does help support my efforts in providing you quality information.
