Terms of Use

Effective Date: January 29, 2014

Welcome to the website of Half Moon Etching LLC ("Half Moon Etching," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this website, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use.

Please read these Terms carefully before using our website. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this website.

1. Use of Our Website

This website is provided to give customers information about Half Moon Etching LLC, our products and services, custom engraving and etching options, and ways to contact us or request a quote.

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not:

  • Violate any applicable federal, state, or local law.
  • Infringe upon the rights of another person or business.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our website or systems.
  • Introduce malicious software, viruses, or other harmful material.
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website.
  • Misuse our website, forms, services, or information.

2. Products and Custom Orders

Half Moon Etching LLC specializes in personalized and custom products, which may include hand sand-etched or sandblasted glass and crystal, laser-etched wood, leatherette, coated metals, acrylic, and other laserable or etchable materials.

Because many of our products are individually customized, the final product may have minor variations from photographs, examples, or digital representations.

Factors such as the material, surface, grain, texture, color, lighting, and engraving or etching process may affect the final appearance.

We reserve the right to decline a custom project when we determine that the requested design, material, image, wording, or process is unsuitable or cannot reasonably be completed.

3. Quotes and Pricing

Requests submitted through our website may be used to prepare a custom quote.

A quote is not necessarily an acceptance of an order. Pricing may depend on factors including:

  • Product or material selected
  • Size and quantity
  • Artwork preparation
  • Design complexity
  • Engraving or etching requirements
  • Special finishing or packaging
  • Shipping or delivery requirements

A custom project is not considered accepted until Half Moon Etching LLC confirms the order and any required payment or deposit arrangements.

We reserve the right to correct pricing, description, typographical, or other errors.

4. Customer-Supplied Artwork and Content

Customers may provide photographs, logos, artwork, text, names, dates, or other materials for use in a custom project.

By submitting materials to Half Moon Etching LLC, you represent that:

  • You have the legal right or permission to use and provide the materials.
  • The materials do not knowingly violate another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
  • Your requested design does not knowingly contain unlawful or prohibited material.

You authorize Half Moon Etching LLC to use the submitted materials solely as reasonably necessary to prepare and complete your requested project.

We reserve the right to refuse a project if we believe the requested use of submitted material may violate another person's rights or applicable law.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content on this website, including text, photographs, graphics, logos, designs, product descriptions, layout, and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Half Moon Etching LLC.

You may view the website and use its content for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit our website content without our prior written permission.

6. Custom Designs

Some designs created by Half Moon Etching LLC may be original designs, customer-requested designs, or designs created using customer-supplied materials.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Half Moon Etching LLC retains ownership of original design concepts, artwork, templates, layouts, and production files created by Half Moon Etching LLC.

A customer purchasing a physical finished product does not automatically receive ownership of the underlying digital design or production files.

7. Customer Approval

For certain custom projects, Half Moon Etching LLC may provide a design proof, mockup, or description for customer approval before production.

Customers are responsible for carefully reviewing any proof provided to them, including:

  • Names
  • Dates
  • Spelling
  • Numbers
  • Wording
  • Symbols
  • Images
  • Placement
  • Design details

Once a customer approves a design for production, changes requested afterward may result in additional charges or may not be possible depending on the stage of production.

8. Personalized and Custom Products

Because personalized products are made specifically for individual customers, custom products may not be eligible for return or exchange solely because the customer changes their mind.

If a product arrives damaged, contains a production error, or otherwise does not match the confirmed order, please contact Half Moon Etching LLC promptly so that we can review the issue and determine an appropriate resolution.

Any return, replacement, refund, or remake will be handled according to the circumstances of the individual order and any applicable law.

9. Product Appearance

Photographs displayed on our website are intended to provide examples of our work.

Actual colors and appearance may vary depending on:

  • Screen and monitor settings
  • Photography and lighting
  • Material characteristics
  • Natural variations in wood, glass, crystal, or other materials
  • The engraving, etching, or laser process

We cannot guarantee that the appearance of a product on your screen will exactly match the finished physical product.

10. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping and delivery times may vary depending on the product, customization requirements, production schedule, shipping method, carrier, and destination.

Any estimated delivery date is an estimate and is not guaranteed unless specifically agreed to in writing.

Once an order has been transferred to a shipping carrier, delays caused by the carrier are outside our direct control.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping information.

11. Third-Party Services and Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, marketplaces, payment services, social media platforms, or other services.

Third-party websites operate under their own terms and policies.

Half Moon Etching LLC is not responsible for the content, availability, security, privacy practices, or policies of third-party websites.
