We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – PAYMENT

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Square will store your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Each piece is unique and imperfections are considered part of the beautiful handmade process.

CHANGING YOUR ORDER

If you discover that you need to make changes to your order, such as the size or material, please contact us as soon as possible. Manufacturing begins 1 – 3 days after your purchase, depending on the season + current workload, so the sooner the better. Beyond this time-frame, changes may no longer be possible; however, there’s still a chance minor changes can be made, so getting in touch before shipping is always better than not at all.

SHIPPING

All available shipping methods, with time-frames, can be found on our shipping information page. During peak seasons, expedited and rush shipping may not be available. International shipping can take 3 – 6 weeks and we are not responsible for items held up in customs. Once orders are handed over to shipping services, we are no longer responsible for it; however, we do purchase insurance, and in the rare event that any package is lost, we will do everything we can to help locate it, and if it is lost, we do purchase insurance and can file it to get a replacement piece created for you.

PAYMENTS

The Chestnut Forge accepts credit card and PayPal payments via PayPal checkout processors. Direct credit card payments can be made securely via Square.

Please leave any special information in the order notes at checkout, when applicable. This will save time trying to track down any specifics (special gift notes, messages on any letter jewelry, etc).

Accepted payment methods:

SIZING

While making your purchase, please keep in mind that each item is handmade to order, and size matters. If you receive your item, and it turns out to be the incorrect size, I’ll be happy to help you get the right size; fees may apply for resizing. If you have any questions regarding sizing, please don’t hesitate to email [email protected]

IMPERFECTIONS ON YOUR PIECE

Due to the nature of handmade items, pieces may vary from time to time, including stone number for wire wrapped items (birthstone bangles may have 3 or 4 stones, depending on stone size variations, etc) to accommodate a preferable design quality. These imperfections are considered beautiful and part of the charm of the handmade piece.

Shipping

SHIPPING TIME ESTIMATES

USPS + UPS are used for all orders. Shipping times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed. Please keep in mind that the shipping times should be added to the current order production time to estimate time of arrival. Shipping charges include insurance. If you choose any of the expedited shipping, please be aware that the order processing time still applies.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING

USPS First Class Mail | 3 – 10 business days
USPS Priority | 2 – 5 business days
UPS Ground | 4 – 5 business days
UPS 2-Day | 2 – 4 business days

CANADA SHIPPING

USPS First Class | Can vary, but generally between 7 – 14 days
USPS Priority | 6 – 10 days

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

USPS International First Class Mail is used to ship international packages. Please allow 2 – 6 weeks for shipping. Shipping charges include shipping costs and insurance. Please keep in mind that I cannot track an international package, nor can I control if or how long it gets held up in customs. I do purchase insurance, so if packages do get lost, we can file insurance and recreate your piece for you.

CUSTOMS FEES

Buyer is responsible for any customs fees. Unfortunately, I cannot mark the customs form as a gift or for a value less than the item’s purchase price, as it is illegal to do so.

GIFT PACKAGING

All orders come beautifully packaged in an eco-friendly recycled box. If you need some other form of packaging, please let me know, and I’ll do what I can to accommodate. You may also include a brief message with your gift; just leave me a note of what to write in order notes.

SHIPPING ADDRESS

It is important that you verify your shipping address at checkout, since this is the address that I will be using to ship your purchase. If you would like me to ship your item to a friend as a gift, please enter their address as the shipping address, and I will ship it to them directly.

MISSING PACKAGES

Shipping times can vary greatly. Please contact me if you haven’t received your package in the US within 3 weeks, and within 8 weeks for international packages. I will do everything I can to help you find your package!!
