Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 2025 | Last Updated: 2025

 

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before using acdesshop.com or placing an order. By accessing our Site or making a purchase, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site.

 

1. About Us

This Site is owned and operated by Amanda Christine Designs and Built Different Co., both based in Pasadena, Maryland. References to "we," "us," or "our" refer to both brands collectively. Each brand operates under the same ownership and is accessible through acdesshop.com.

 

2. Use of This Site

By using this Site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, or that you are using the Site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. You agree to use this Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others.

 

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its systems

  • Transmit any harmful, offensive, or disruptive content

  • Reproduce, duplicate, copy, or resell any part of the Site or its content without our express written permission

  • Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to collect data from our Site

 

We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or terminate access to the Site at our sole discretion for any violation of these terms.

 

3. Products & Availability

Amanda Christine Designs:

All jewelry, lanyards, wristlets, and accessories sold under the Amanda Christine Designs brand are handmade. Because each piece is crafted by hand using natural gemstones and materials, slight variations in color, size, or pattern are normal and expected. These variations are not defects — they are a hallmark of handmade quality.

 

Built Different Co.:

All apparel sold under the Built Different Co. brand is made to order using DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing. Colors may vary slightly from screen to screen due to monitor calibration. We make every effort to represent our products accurately in photos and descriptions.

 

Product availability is subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. In the event that a product becomes unavailable after your order is placed, we will contact you promptly to offer a substitute, store credit, or full refund.

 

4. Pricing & Payment

All prices on our Site are listed in U.S. dollars (USD) and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time. If a pricing error is discovered after your order is placed, we will contact you before processing the order.

 

Payment is due in full at the time of purchase. We accept all major credit and debit cards and any additional payment methods offered through our payment processor. By submitting your payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.

 

We do not store your full payment card details. All payment processing is handled securely by our third-party payment processor.

 

5. Orders & Order Confirmation

Placing an order on our Site constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason, including but not limited to product availability, errors in pricing or product information, or suspected fraud.

 

You will receive an order confirmation email after your purchase. This confirmation is an acknowledgment that we have received your order — it does not constitute acceptance of the order. Acceptance occurs when your order ships and you receive a shipping confirmation.

 

You are responsible for providing accurate shipping information at checkout. We are not liable for orders delayed or undelivered due to incorrect addresses provided by the customer.

 

6. Shipping & Delivery

Shipping terms, processing times, and delivery estimates are outlined in our Shipping Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By placing an order, you agree to the terms of our Shipping Policy.

 

Title and risk of loss for products pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. We are not responsible for delays, damage, or loss caused by the shipping carrier once the package has been handed off.

 

7. Returns, Refunds & Exchanges

Our return and refund terms are governed by our Refund & Return Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Because both Amanda Christine Designs and Built Different Co. sell handmade or made-to-order products, all sales are generally final except in cases of damage, defect, or error on our part.

 

By placing an order, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Refund & Return Policy.

 

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including but not limited to product photos, graphics, designs, logos, text, branding, and the Built Different Co. and Amanda Christine Designs names and marks — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

 

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, display, or use any of our content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent. Personal, non-commercial use (such as sharing a product link on social media) is permitted.

 

If you believe any content on our Site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us at amanda.baker@acdesshop.com.

 

9. User Content & Reviews

If you submit a review, comment, photo, or any other content to our Site or social media pages tagged with our brand, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, and display that content for marketing and promotional purposes. We will credit you where possible.

 

You represent that any content you submit is your own, does not infringe any third-party rights, and does not contain false, defamatory, or harmful information. We reserve the right to remove any user content at our discretion.

 

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our Site and products are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

 

Gemstone and crystal products sold under Amanda Christine Designs are intended for decorative and accessory purposes. Any references to metaphysical or healing properties of stones are based on tradition and personal belief — we make no medical or therapeutic claims.

 

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Amanda Christine Designs and Built Different Co. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of our Site or products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or your purchase shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific product giving rise to the claim.

 

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Amanda Christine Designs, Built Different Co., and their owner, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

 

13. Third-Party Links & Services

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms and payment processors. These links are provided for your convenience only. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party sites. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk.

 

14. Promotions & Discount Codes

From time to time, we may offer promotional discounts, coupon codes, or special offers. These are subject to the specific terms stated at the time of the promotion. Unless otherwise stated:

  • Discount codes are single-use and non-transferable

  • Codes cannot be combined with other offers

  • Codes have no cash value and cannot be applied retroactively to past orders

  • We reserve the right to cancel or modify any promotion at any time

 

15. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of our Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

 

Before initiating any legal action, you agree to contact us first at amanda.baker@acdesshop.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the dispute informally.

 

16. Changes to These Terms
