PRODUCT DISCLAIMER

51. Underlyn’s products are handcrafted one at a time by skilled artisans with limited use of machinery for some parts of the process. It is therefore extremely rare to create identical items. The textile art and the frames are creations of artisans and are based on craft styles. There may be natural blemishes/variations that are not product flaws. Such variations are inherent in the manufacturing of handmade products. Therefore, minor distinctions that make your buys special and truly one-of-a-kind.

52. The hardware we provide with our framed pieces such as hooks, nails etc. are provided by external vendors. The hardware is complementary and its use is at your discretion. We do not guarantee or warranty such hardware and shall not be responsible if there is any damage or loss caused to you or the product due to use of such hardware.

53. Due to the nature of the products available on the Website, we try to ensure that the products displayed at the time of placing an order are as close to the end product received by you. However, there may be variations in the product’s images against the product(s) which you may receive due to variations in electronic screens settings (computer/laptop/tablet/Smartphones). The details of the products or product specifications (weight, colour, handwork details, size, etc.) as mentioned on the Website, are only approximate values. The hue and colours of the product, in print and physical form may also vary from a displayed picture of the product on your screen.

54. As far as possible, our products are eco-friendly to promote sustainable and responsible use of raw materials. For the sake of clarification, we use sustainably sourced wood, lead-free paint, recyclable paper as packaging boxes in our packaging and minimal water during production. We also strive to restrict the usage of single use plastic to a bare minimum.

55. The artwork is the sole creation of the artist based on their source of inspiration. We make no representation that any products on sale on the Website are appropriate in nature whether morally or otherwise. We do not represent or promote any particular line of thought, inspiration, ideas or creativity and disclaim any liability with respect to the artist’s originality/inspiration for the artwork/product and also do not bear any responsibility for art or product that may offend, disparage or hurt your or any other person’s sentiments. The expression of art form is subjective and may vary with your views. If you find the products or any related services to be of inappropriate nature or not in consonance with your moral or ethical views, please refrain from using the Website.
