2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By using AddisDesign.com, the Addis Design application, or any associated ordering system, you agree to these Terms.
You may be required to affirmatively accept these Terms during checkout by selecting a checkbox or similar electronic acknowledgment.
Your electronic acceptance has the same intended contractual effect as signing a written agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
You should save or print a copy of these Terms for your records.
3. AGE AND AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to place an order unless a parent or legal guardian completes the transaction on your behalf.
By placing an order, you represent that:
you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement;
all information you provide is accurate and complete;
you are authorized to use the payment method submitted;
you have authority to approve any customization or content submitted with the order.
We may cancel or reject orders if we reasonably believe these requirements have not been satisfied.
4. PRODUCT INFORMATION
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product:
descriptions;
dimensions;
prices;
photographs;
colors;
specifications;
materials;
availability;
shipping estimates.
However, product information may occasionally contain errors, omissions, differences, or inaccuracies.
We reserve the right to correct such information at any time.
An error displayed on the website or application does not obligate Addis Design or AddisSolutions LLC to fulfill an order at an incorrect price, quantity, size, description, or specification.
5. PRODUCT COLORS AND VISUAL DIFFERENCES
Customers acknowledge that photographs and digital previews are representations of physical products.
Colors may appear differently depending on:
monitor calibration;
phone or tablet displays;
screen brightness;
lighting;
printing equipment;
printing materials;
canvas texture;
framing;
acrylic or metal surfaces;
ink;
production processes.
Minor color, texture, cropping, positioning, sizing, print, or finishing variations are normal and are not considered defects.
Such variations do not qualify an order for refund, cancellation, exchange, or charge reversal.
6. WALL ART — ALL SALES FINAL
IMPORTANT FINAL SALE POLICY
ALL WALL ART SALES ARE FINAL.
By purchasing wall art from Addis Design, you expressly understand and agree that:
Wall art products are NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-RETURNABLE, and NON-EXCHANGEABLE after an order has been submitted and accepted, except where otherwise expressly required by applicable law.
This policy applies to wall art orders placed through:
AddisDesign.com;
the Addis Design mobile application;
any Addis Design checkout system;
an embedded website ordering system;
a payment link provided by Addis Design;
an authorized Addis Design representative;
any future Addis Design digital ordering platform.
Once your wall art order is submitted, the order is considered a final order.
7. NON-REFUNDABLE ONLINE AND APP ORDERS
Orders submitted through the Addis Design website or mobile application are considered confirmed orders once the order submission and applicable payment process have been completed.
Unless required otherwise by applicable law:
ALL WALL ART ORDERS SUBMITTED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
Customers should carefully review their:
selected artwork;
image;
product;
dimensions;
material;
frame;
personalization;
quantity;
shipping address;
billing information;
name;
phone number;
email address;
before clicking Submit, Place Order, Purchase, Pay, or any similar checkout button.
Once submitted, an order may immediately enter production or fulfillment.
Because of this, we cannot guarantee cancellations or changes after submission.
8. ORDER REVIEW RESPONSIBILITY
Where Addis Design provides a review screen before final submission, the customer is responsible for carefully reviewing all information.
By approving the order review and submitting the purchase, the customer confirms that the order information is correct.
Addis Design and AddisSolutions LLC are not responsible for mistakes submitted or approved by customers, including:
incorrect names;
misspellings;
incorrect dates;
incorrect shipping addresses;
incorrect artwork selections;
incorrect sizes;
incorrect quantities;
incorrect personalization;
incorrect phone numbers;
incorrect email addresses.
9. CUSTOM AND PERSONALIZED PRODUCTS
Custom and personalized products are specially created based on customer instructions.
Unless required otherwise by applicable law:
All personalized and custom products are final sale and non-refundable.
This includes products containing:
names;
dates;
Amharic text;
Ge’ez text;
personal messages;
family names;
wedding information;
memorial information;
religious verses;
uploaded photographs;
submitted artwork;
requested colors;
custom dimensions;
custom designs.
Customers are responsible for checking spelling, language, dates, images, and personalization details before submitting the order.
Addis Design is not responsible for errors entered, uploaded, reviewed, or approved by the customer.
10. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
Because products may enter production shortly after purchase, orders generally cannot be changed or canceled after submission.
You may contact Addis Design immediately after placing an order to request a modification.
However:
Submitting a modification or cancellation request does not guarantee that the order can be changed or canceled.
If production, printing, fulfillment, customization, packaging, or shipping has already begun, the order will remain final.
11. DAMAGED OR INCORRECT PRODUCTS
Our final-sale policy does not mean that Addis Design intentionally leaves customers without assistance when a verified fulfillment error occurs.
If you receive a product that is materially damaged during delivery or materially different from the product you ordered due to an error attributable to Addis Design or its fulfillment provider, contact us promptly.
We may request:
photographs of the product;
photographs of the packaging;
shipping labels;
order number;
description of the problem;
additional supporting information.
Customers should report shipping damage within 48 hours of confirmed delivery, whenever reasonably possible.
Failure to report visible damage promptly may limit our ability to verify a shipping claim.
After reviewing the circumstances, Addis Design may, at its discretion and subject to applicable law:
replace the damaged product;
reproduce the product;
issue store credit;
provide another reasonable resolution.
A replacement or corrective remedy does not automatically entitle the customer to a cash refund.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable consumer protection law.
12. SHIPPING INFORMATION
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
Addis Design is not responsible for:
incorrect addresses provided by customers;
missing apartment or unit numbers;
incorrect ZIP codes;
packages delivered to an address supplied by the customer;
refused deliveries;
packages returned because of customer address errors;
delays caused by carriers;
customs delays;
weather conditions;
natural disasters;
labor disruptions;
transportation interruptions;
events outside our reasonable control.
Additional shipping or reproduction costs resulting from incorrect customer information may be charged to the customer.
13. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY ESTIMATES
Any delivery timeframe displayed on the website, application, product page, advertisement, email, or order confirmation is an estimate only unless specifically stated otherwise.
For example, a reference to delivery within approximately 5–7 business days is an estimated delivery period and not a guaranteed delivery date.
Production and delivery may be affected by:
order volume;
customization;
printing schedules;
carrier availability;
weekends;
holidays;
weather;
location;
customs;
inventory;
fulfillment delays.
Addis Design and AddisSolutions LLC are not liable for losses arising solely from reasonable shipping or carrier delays.
14. LOST OR STOLEN PACKAGES
Once a shipment is transferred to a shipping carrier, certain aspects of delivery are outside our direct control.
Where tracking indicates a package has been delivered, the customer is responsible for securing the package from the delivery location.
Addis Design is not responsible for theft occurring after confirmed delivery.
Where a shipment appears lost in transit, we may assist the customer in contacting the shipping carrier or filing a carrier claim where appropriate.
15. PRICES
All prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the website or application.
Prices may change without notice.
We reserve the right to:
change pricing;
offer promotions;
discontinue promotions;
correct pricing errors;
cancel orders affected by obvious pricing errors.
Applicable taxes, shipping charges, customs charges, duties, or fees may be added where appropriate.
16. TAXES, DUTIES, AND IMPORT CHARGES
Customers are responsible for any applicable:
sales taxes;
VAT;
import taxes;
customs duties;
brokerage fees;
government fees;
unless Addis Design expressly states that those amounts are included.
International customers are responsible for understanding applicable import rules in their country.
17. PAYMENT PROCESSING
Payments may be processed by third-party providers such as:
Stripe;
PayPal;
Apple Pay;
Google Pay;
banking providers;
credit card processors;
other payment platforms.
Addis Design and AddisSolutions LLC do not necessarily directly store complete payment-card information.
Payment processing may be governed by additional terms imposed by the payment provider.
We are not responsible for:
payment processor outages;
bank declines;
card authorization failures;
payment provider errors;
unauthorized actions caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.
18. CHARGEBACKS AND PAYMENT DISPUTES
Customers agree to contact Addis Design before initiating an unnecessary payment dispute or chargeback where the issue can reasonably be addressed directly.
Initiating a chargeback does not automatically cancel the customer’s obligations under these Terms.
For final-sale products, a customer’s disagreement with a clearly disclosed final-sale policy does not itself establish that a transaction was unauthorized or fraudulent.
We reserve the right to provide:
order records;
checkout acceptance records;
payment confirmations;
shipping confirmations;
tracking information;
product information;
communications;
proof of acceptance of these Terms;
to payment processors, financial institutions, or dispute-resolution providers when responding to a payment dispute.
Nothing in this section restricts a consumer from exercising lawful credit-card or payment-dispute rights.
19. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
Products may become unavailable before or after an order is placed.
If we cannot fulfill an order because of circumstances within our control, we may:
cancel the affected item;
offer an alternative;
issue appropriate credit;
issue a refund for the unavailable item where necessary.
This is separate from the customer’s voluntary cancellation of a final-sale order.
