Terms of service
Last updated: June 2025
Welcome to Lush & Lit Candle Co. (“Lush & Lit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or purchasing from lushandlitcandle.com (the “Site”), or from our related sales channels (pop-ups, social links, affiliate referrals), you agree to the following Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully.
If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Online Store Terms
By using our Site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province, or you have consent from a parent/guardian. You agree not to use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, and not to violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, copyright laws).
2. Handcrafted Products & Availability
All of our candles and wax products are hand-poured in Georgia in small batches. Natural variation in color, minor surface texture differences, or scent intensity between batches are normal and not defects.
We reserve the right to limit quantities, discontinue scents, or update formulas at any time.
3. Processing & Shipping
Processing Time: Orders typically ship within 7–10 business days (Mon–Fri; excludes holidays). During launches, promotions, or high volume periods, processing may extend slightly. We’ll notify you if delays occur.
Shipping Methods: We primarily ship via USPS, UPS, FedEx. Transit time is typically 2–5 business days after your order leaves our studio, depending on destination and carrier volume.
Tracking: You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking once your order ships. Didn’t get one after 10 business days? Contact us at [EMAIL].
Lost / Stolen Packages: Once a package is marked Delivered by the carrier, we are not liable for loss or theft. We’ll gladly assist you in filing a claim with the carrier and, when possible, help with a discounted replacement.
4. Shipping Address Accuracy
Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. Orders returned to us due to an incorrect or undeliverable address may require additional shipping fees to reship.
5. Returns, Exchanges & Damages
Please review our full Return & Refund Policy here: /policies/refund-policy (update link if different).
Damaged in Transit? Email photos of the damaged product + packaging within 5 days of delivery to Lushcandle@Lushandlitcandle.com so we can assist.
Because candles are consumable and custom-poured, many items are final sale unless damaged or defective. See refund policy for details.
6. Heat Sensitivity & Seasonal Shipping
Soy candles and wax melts can soften or sweat in extreme heat (common in summer shipping). This does not affect burn performance. If a product arrives softened, allow it to cool and re-solidify at room temperature before use.
7. Product Use & Safety
Always follow candle safety:
- Burn within sight & keep away from drafts, pets, children, and flammables.
- Trim wick to ~¼ inch before lighting.
- Allow full melt pool on first burn for best performance.
- Do not burn more than 4 hours at a time.
- Stop burning when ~¼ inch wax remains.
Misuse of candles or failure to follow safety instructions may result in fire hazard or injury; by purchasing, you assume responsibility for safe use.
8. Pricing, Promotions & Changes
Prices are shown in USD and may change without notice. Promotional codes, affiliate links, bundles, or discounts may not be stackable unless specifically stated. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and cancel orders affected by obvious mispricing.
9. Affiliate & Referral Links
We offer an affiliate program where registered partners earn commissions for qualified sales made through their unique referral link or code. Affiliate payouts, eligibility, and tracking are governed by our Affiliate Program Terms (if you publish a separate page, link it here: /pages/affiliate-terms). We reserve the right to approve, pause, or terminate affiliate accounts at any time.
10. Accuracy of Billing & Account Information
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all orders placed with us. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email and shipping address, so we can complete transactions and contact you as needed.
11. Optional Tools & Third-Party Apps
We may provide access to third-party tools (like payment, tracking, reviews, or affiliate portals) over which we have no control. You acknowledge access is “as is” and “as available” without warranties. Your use of such tools is at your own risk and subject to the third party’s terms.
