The manufacturers are a small family business, specializing in hand made hand tools for various purposes such as food processing, and wood carving, hand made in traditional techniques. We are aware of the challenges faced by our customers when purchasing online and do our best to ensure that the experience of purchase, use and service is to your satisfaction. We do everything in our power to ensure that the products you purchase will serve you well for a long time.

1. No sale to minors. We reserve the right to ask any client to present proof of his or her identity and age at any time. Refusal to comply with this demand will lead to the cessation of the ordering process, and even to its immediate cancellation. We reserve the right to refuse a sale and / or service and / or contact with any person or company without any need to provide reasons or explanations to anyone.

2. We sell to private individuals only, and not to wholesalers and / or companies and / or purchasing groups.

3. All transactions are final, except in cases where the manufacturer decides otherwise, without forfeiting any of his rights.

All in accordance with the sole discretion of the manufacturer and the merits of each case separately.

4. Transactions can be cancelled with no consequence up to 21 business days from the date of placing the order. Transactions cancelled after 21 business days shall incur a 30% cancellation fee of the entire volume of the transaction.

Incomplete orders will be cancelled within 48 hours. There will be no notification of cancellation of incomplete orders. For the avoidance of doubt – payment for an order will be made in advance and in full within 48 hours of invoice’s issue. Customers who have not completed their order within the specified time (48 hours) and whose order has been cancelled will lose their place in queue for the production of their order.

7. A completed order will be sent to the customer by registered mail without delay, except in cases where it has been made clear to the customer that there may be a certain delay in the delivery of the order – for example, if special materials need to be sourced, or a complex design execution which requires more time (Example: work that includes carving or engraving).

8. Payment for shipping is included in the order invoice as a detail item, even where “100% free shipping” is offered. This is a matter of book keeping, and required of us by law.

9. No refunds for shipping fees once items have been shipped. Ever.

10. Orders will be provided to customers by registered mail delivery, in special cases, under very special circumstances we may opt for orders to be provided in other ways.

14. Wood carving as an occupation or a hobby is dangerous. Knives and carving axes as well as other carving tools of all kinds are very dangerous tools that can cause injury and even death.
