We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or restrict access to our website if we believe someone is misusing the site or violating these Terms.
Products and Availability
We do our best to accurately describe our products, including photos, pricing, scents, sizes, colors, and other details. However, because many of our products are handmade, slight variations may occur.
Product availability may change at any time. We may limit quantities, discontinue products, update pricing, or make changes to product descriptions without notice.

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse an order if there is an issue with payment, product availability, suspected fraud, incorrect pricing, or another reasonable business concern.
Shipping, Pickup, and Delivery
Shipping, pickup, or delivery options may vary depending on the products ordered and the services available at the time of purchase.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping or pickup information. The Wax Artist is not responsible for delays or delivery issues caused by incorrect customer information, carrier delays, weather, or other circumstances outside of our control.
If an order is damaged during shipping, please contact us as soon as possible with your order information and photos of the damaged item and packaging.
Returns, Refunds, and Exchanges
Because many of our products are handmade, seasonal, limited-run, or scent-based, returns and exchanges may be limited.
We want customers to be happy with their purchase, so if there is a problem with your order, please contact us within 7 days of receiving it. We may offer a replacement, store credit, refund, or another reasonable solution depending on the situation.
We may not be able to accept returns or exchanges for:

Unless otherwise stated, event bookings may be subject to limited availability and may require advance payment.
Event Cancellations and Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule an event booking, please contact us as soon as possible.
Because event supplies, staffing, and preparation may be arranged in advance, cancellation and refund options may depend on the timing of the cancellation and the type of event booked.
Suggested policy language you can adjust:
-
Cancellations made at least 48 hours before the event may be eligible for a refund, credit, or rescheduling.
-
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may not be eligible for a refund.
