About These Supplemental Terms

These Arts & Crafts Supplemental Vendor Terms apply to Vendors, artisans, craftspeople, artists, workshops, cooperatives, family businesses, traditional craft communities, makers, designers, and other approved sellers who create, produce, source, customize, or sell Arts & Crafts Products through Daivavarna.

Daivavarna intends this category to support genuine craftsmanship, traditional arts, cultural practices, artisan livelihoods, handmade production, meaningful creative work, small-scale production, and Products whose identity depends materially upon the skill, design, workmanship, or creative participation of the maker.

The category is not intended to serve as a disguised general resale category for mass-produced merchandise falsely represented as handmade, artisan-made, village-made, traditional, hand-painted, hand-carved, handwoven, or personally created.

At the same time, Daivavarna recognizes that authentic craftsmanship may involve tools, looms, sewing machines, kilns, wheels, molds, presses, cutting equipment, woodworking equipment, digital design tools, assistants, workshops, and other forms of appropriate production support. A Product does not cease to be handmade merely because a tool or machine was used.

The relevant question is whether the Listing accurately represents the meaningful role of the artisan or workshop in the Product’s design, making, finishing, assembly, customization, or production.

These Supplemental Terms supplement the General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement, Marketplace Policies, Product Safety and Recall Policy, Intellectual Property Policy, Prohibited and Restricted Products, Services and Activities Policy, Shipping, Delivery, Local Pickup and International Orders Policy, Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy, and other applicable Supplemental Category Terms.

Nothing in these Supplemental Terms permits unlawful Products, intellectual-property infringement, unsafe production, deceptive origin claims, or other conduct prohibited by Applicable Law.

1. CATEGORY APPROVAL REQUIRED

A Vendor may be required to receive separate approval before listing Products within Arts & Crafts.

General Vendor approval does not automatically authorize every craft Product.

Daivavarna may review:

Product types;

materials;

production methods;

artisan involvement;

workshop information;

photographs;

design process;

sourcing;

traditional claims;

Product safety;

or other relevant information.

2. CONTINUING CATEGORY ELIGIBILITY

Approval to participate in Arts & Crafts is conditional and continuing.

Daivavarna may review the Vendor where:

production methods materially change;

the Vendor begins substantial third-party sourcing;

Listings appear to contain mass-produced resale;

handmade claims are questioned;

Customer complaints raise authenticity concerns;

materials change;

or other reasonable Marketplace concerns arise.

3. PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE

Subject to approval, Products may include:

paintings;

traditional paintings;

sculpture;

pottery;

ceramics;

terracotta;

wood carving;

stone carving;

metal craft;

handwoven goods;

embroidery;

textile crafts;

handmade decorations;

baskets;

fiber arts;

natural-material crafts;

jewelry where separately appropriate;

handmade stationery;

traditional dolls;

decorative objects;

festival crafts;

sacred artwork;

folk art;

handmade household goods;

custom artwork;

handmade gifts;

artisan accessories;

and other approved creative Products.

Some Products may be governed principally by another category.

4. GENUINE ARTISAN PARTICIPATION

A Product represented as handmade or artisan-made must involve meaningful human creative or craft participation in its production.

The nature of that participation may vary by craft.

5. HANDMADE DOES NOT REQUIRE HANDS-ONLY PRODUCTION

Daivavarna does not interpret “handmade” to mean that every physical action must be performed without tools or machines.

Authentic makers may use:

sewing machines;

looms;

pottery wheels;

kilns;

drills;

saws;

lathes;

cutting tools;

presses;

molds;

engraving equipment;

sanding equipment;

printing tools;

digital design tools;

or other appropriate equipment.

The Listing must nevertheless accurately represent how the Product is produced.

6. MEANINGFUL MAKER CONTRIBUTION

Where a Product is represented as handmade by the Vendor, the Vendor or disclosed artisan should ordinarily make a meaningful contribution to one or more aspects such as:

design;

forming;

carving;

painting;

weaving;

stitching;

sculpting;

assembling;

finishing;

printing;

engraving;

decorating;

customizing;

or another material production activity.

7. ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS

Products assembled from commercially available components may be considered handmade or artisan-made where the artisan’s assembly, design, finishing, or customization represents a meaningful part of the finished Product.

The Vendor should not overstate the level of handmade production.

8. COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS

Use of commercially manufactured components does not automatically disqualify a craft Product.

Examples may include:

clasps;

frames;

hooks;

cords;

beads;

fasteners;

bases;

blanks;

findings;

or other components.

Where such components are material to Customer understanding, their use should not be deceptively concealed.

9. PRE-MADE BLANKS

A Vendor may decorate, paint, engrave, embroider, print, or otherwise transform a commercially manufactured blank.

The resulting Product may be eligible where the Vendor’s creative contribution is genuine.

The Vendor should not falsely represent the underlying blank as being entirely handmade by the Vendor if it was commercially manufactured elsewhere.

10. MASS-PRODUCED RESALE

Mass-produced commercial Products purchased from manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, marketplaces, or distributors shall not be represented as handmade by the Vendor where the Vendor did not materially make or transform them.

11. DISGUISED RESALE

Disguised resale is prohibited.

Examples may include:

buying finished commercial Products and describing them as personally handmade;

removing manufacturer packaging and claiming artisan production;

using another manufacturer’s factory photographs while claiming local handmade production;

claiming imported mass-produced goods were made in the Vendor’s own workshop;

or creating fictional artisan stories to disguise ordinary resale.

12. RESALE MAY BE ALLOWED ELSEWHERE

A Product does not necessarily become prohibited merely because it is resold.

Where Daivavarna permits commercial or sourced Products in another appropriate category, the Vendor may sell them there subject to applicable terms.

The problem is false representation, not resale itself.

13. ARTISAN-SOURCED PRODUCTS

A Vendor may sell Products made by other genuine artisans where Daivavarna approves the sourcing model.

The Listing should accurately represent who made the Product.

A reseller or collective shall not falsely state that the Vendor personally created each Product.

14. ARTISAN COOPERATIVES

Cooperatives, community enterprises, artisan groups, women’s groups, family workshops, and similar organizations may participate where approved.

The organization should accurately describe the maker relationship.

15. FAMILY WORKSHOPS

Products made within a family workshop may be represented as family-made or workshop-made where accurate.

The Vendor need not identify every individual who participated unless such identification is material to the Listing.

16. EMPLOYEES AND ASSISTANTS

An artisan business may use employees or assistants.

The involvement of assistants does not automatically make the Product ineligible.

The Vendor must not falsely imply that one individual personally performed every production step where that claim is materially inaccurate.

17. WORKSHOP PRODUCTION

Small workshop production may qualify as artisan production where meaningful craftsmanship remains involved.

Daivavarna may distinguish such production from fully automated industrial mass manufacturing.

18. LIMITED-SCALE PRODUCTION

A craft Product does not have to be unique or one-of-a-kind.

An artisan may make repeated versions of the same design.

Production volume alone does not determine whether a Product is handmade.

19. BATCH PRODUCTION

Artisans may produce Products in batches.

Batch production remains eligible where the Product description accurately reflects the production method.

20. MOLDS

Use of molds may be permitted.

Products may be:

mold-cast;

slip-cast;

pressed;

formed;

or otherwise produced using reusable forms.

A Vendor shall not falsely describe a molded Product as individually hand-sculpted from beginning to end where that is materially inaccurate.

21. DIGITAL DESIGN TOOLS

Digital tools may be used in genuine creative work.

For example, an artisan may use software to:

design patterns;

prepare print files;

create cutting guides;

develop typography;

or plan a Product.

The Product should be described accurately where digital production is material to Customer expectations.

22. COMPUTER-CONTROLLED MACHINERY

Products made with computer-controlled cutting, engraving, or similar equipment may be eligible where the Vendor’s design or craft contribution is meaningful.

A laser-engraved commercial blank, for example, should not be described as fully hand-carved.

23. 3D PRINTING

Daivavarna may permit selected artisan-designed 3D-printed Products where they fit the Marketplace’s category and material standards.

Such Products should be described as 3D printed where that fact is material.

A 3D-printed Product shall not be represented as hand-sculpted merely because the original design was created by the Vendor.

24. AI-ASSISTED DESIGN

Artificial intelligence may be used as a design aid where lawful.

A Vendor remains responsible for:

intellectual property;

authorship representations;

Product accuracy;

and compliance.

AI-assisted artwork must not be falsely represented as entirely hand-painted or manually illustrated where that is materially inaccurate.

25. HAND-PAINTED CLAIMS

A Product may be described as hand-painted only where meaningful painting has actually been applied by hand.

Printed, transferred, digitally printed, or factory-applied images shall not be represented as entirely hand-painted.

26. HAND-CARVED CLAIMS

A Product may be described as hand-carved where human carving forms a meaningful part of its production.

Machine-cut or molded Products shall not be falsely represented as entirely hand-carved.

27. HANDWOVEN CLAIMS

Handwoven Products must genuinely involve hand-operated weaving or an appropriate traditional weaving process consistent with the representation.

Power-loom or fully industrial woven fabric shall not be represented as handwoven.

28. HAND-EMBROIDERED CLAIMS

Hand embroidery must involve meaningful manual embroidery.

Machine embroidery shall not be represented as entirely hand embroidered.

A Product may accurately state that it combines machine and hand embroidery where applicable.

29. HAND-STITCHED CLAIMS

A Product shall not be described as entirely hand stitched where the principal seams were machine sewn.

Use of sewing machines is permitted; the description simply must be accurate.

30. HAND-THROWN POTTERY

A Product described as hand-thrown should genuinely involve pottery-wheel forming by an artisan.

Slip-cast or industrially molded ceramic shall not be described as hand-thrown.

31. HAND-BUILT POTTERY

Hand-built pottery claims should accurately reflect techniques such as:

coiling;

pinching;

slab building;

or other manual forming.

32. HAND-FORGED METAL

A Product represented as hand-forged should involve meaningful forging or shaping by an artisan.

Factory-cast metal finished by hand should not be described as entirely hand-forged where misleading.

33. BLOCK PRINTING

Products described as hand block printed should genuinely involve manual block-printing techniques.

Machine-printed imitation patterns shall not be represented as hand block printed.

34. SCREEN PRINTING

Hand screen printing may be accurately described where applicable.

Automated industrial screen printing shall not be misrepresented as manually printed.

35. HAND-DYED CLAIMS

Products described as hand dyed should genuinely involve manual dyeing processes.

The Vendor should accurately disclose natural or synthetic dyes where relevant.

36. NATURAL DYE CLAIMS

Claims such as:

plant dyed;

vegetable dyed;

natural dye;

indigo dyed;

or mineral dyed

must have a reasonable factual basis.

The use of one natural colorant does not justify describing the entire Product as naturally dyed where substantial synthetic dyes are also used and the claim would be misleading.

37. TRADITIONAL CRAFT CLAIMS

A Vendor may identify Products with traditional craft names where the Product genuinely corresponds to the represented tradition.

Traditional craft claims may concern:

technique;

region;

community;

materials;

style;

or method.

38. REGIONAL CRAFT NAMES

A Vendor shall not falsely use the name of a particular region, village, artisan center, or traditional craft merely because a Product visually resembles that tradition.

39. GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS

Certain traditional craft or regional names may be legally protected through geographical indications, certification marks, collective marks, or other rights.

Vendors remain responsible for lawful use.

40. COMMUNITY ORIGIN CLAIMS

Claims that Products are made by a particular:

tribal community;

village;

artisan group;

women’s cooperative;

religious community;

traditional caste craft;

family lineage;

or other identifiable community

must have a reasonable factual basis.

41. NO FABRICATED ARTISAN STORIES

Vendors shall not invent fictional artisan biographies, villages, cooperatives, social projects, or community stories to increase perceived Product value.

42. ARTISAN ATTRIBUTION

Where the identity of the actual artisan is material to the Product’s marketing, attribution should be accurate.

A Vendor should obtain appropriate permission before publicly using an artisan’s Personal Information where required.

43. SOCIAL-IMPACT CLAIMS

Claims such as:

supports rural artisans;

empowers women;

fairly paid artisans;

preserves traditional craft;

supports village communities;

or artisan direct

must have a reasonable factual basis.

44. FAIR-TRADE CLAIMS

Formal fair-trade certification claims require proper authorization.

Informal statements about equitable payment or direct sourcing must also be truthful.

45. MATERIAL STANDARDS

Arts & Crafts Products should generally favor materials consistent with Daivavarna’s traditional, natural, artisan, and cultural purpose where reasonably appropriate to the Product.

46. NATURAL MATERIALS

Qualifying materials may include:

wood;

bamboo;

cane;

rattan;

cotton;

linen;

wool;

silk;

jute;

hemp where lawful;

clay;

terracotta;

ceramic;

stone;

glass;

paper;

natural fibers;

brass;

bronze;

copper;

iron;

silver;

other lawful metals;

natural dyes;

plant materials;

and other approved materials.

47. SYNTHETIC MATERIALS

Limited or appropriate synthetic materials may be permitted depending upon Product function and craft type.

Daivavarna may restrict Products principally made from conventional synthetic or petroleum-derived material where they do not reasonably fit the Marketplace’s curated purpose.

48. MIXED-MATERIAL PRODUCTS

Mixed-material crafts may be eligible.

The Vendor should accurately disclose principal materials where material to Customer expectations.

49. RECYCLED MATERIALS

Recycled-material crafts may be eligible.

Claims concerning recycled content must be truthful.

50. UPCYCLED PRODUCTS

Upcycled Products may be eligible where the Vendor meaningfully transforms existing materials into a new Product.

The Vendor should not use “upcycled” merely to disguise ordinary resale of used goods.

51. RECLAIMED WOOD

Claims concerning reclaimed wood must have a reasonable factual basis.

Reclaimed material should be reasonably safe and appropriate for the Product’s intended use.

52. UNKNOWN MATERIAL HISTORY

Where reclaimed materials may have previous chemical, industrial, painted, treated, or contaminated uses, the Vendor must consider whether the material is suitable for its new purpose.

53. WOOD PRODUCTS

Wood craft Listings should accurately distinguish, where material, between:

solid wood;

plywood;

engineered wood;

laminated material;

veneered material;

or composite wood.

54. PROTECTED WOODS

Certain wood species may be legally protected or restricted.

The Vendor is responsible for lawful sourcing, possession, import, export, and sale.

55. SANDALWOOD

Products represented as sandalwood must have a reasonable basis for that claim.

Sandalwood and similar regulated woods may require additional documentation.

56. RED SANDALWOOD

Red sandalwood or other highly regulated species may be restricted or prohibited depending upon sourcing and Applicable Law.

Daivavarna may require documentation or decline such Products entirely.

57. STONE

Stone craft Products should accurately identify the material where reasonably known.

Natural stone variation may occur.

Synthetic or resin imitation stone shall not be represented as natural stone.

58. CLAY AND TERRACOTTA

Clay and terracotta Products must be appropriate for their represented use.

A decorative Product shall not be marketed as food-safe, cookware-safe, or flame-safe without an appropriate basis.

59. CERAMICS

Ceramic Products involving food contact must comply with applicable food-contact requirements.

Glazes, pigments, and finishes must be appropriate for intended use.

60. METAL CRAFT

Metal Products must accurately identify principal materials where material.

A plated Product shall not be represented as solid precious or traditional metal.

61. BRASS, COPPER AND BRONZE CLAIMS

Claims that an object is:

solid brass;

pure copper;

bronze;

or a specific traditional alloy

must have a reasonable factual basis.

62. PRECIOUS METALS

Silver, gold, and other precious-metal claims must be accurate.

Plating, filling, alloy, or base-metal construction should be disclosed where material.

63. GLASS

Hand-blown, hand-cut, fused, stained, or other glass craft claims must accurately reflect the actual production process.

64. PAPER CRAFTS

Handmade paper, calligraphy, paper cutting, book arts, stationery, and related Products may be eligible.

Claims that paper is handmade, recycled, tree-free, or otherwise specialized must be accurate.

65. TEXTILE CRAFTS

Textile crafts may also be subject to Clothing & Textiles Supplemental Terms where appropriate.

Principal material, handmade claims, dyeing, weaving, and embroidery must be accurately represented.

66. BASKETRY

Basketry and woven natural-fiber crafts may use bamboo, cane, reed, rattan, grasses, leaves, or other lawful materials.

Products should accurately identify principal materials where reasonably known.

67. SHELLS, FEATHERS AND ANIMAL MATERIALS

Products containing shells, feathers, horn, bone, leather, fur, coral, ivory, or other animal-derived materials may be subject to wildlife and environmental restrictions.

Traditional use does not override Applicable Law.

68. IVORY

Unlawful ivory Products are prohibited.

Daivavarna may prohibit ivory Products entirely where legality or provenance cannot reasonably be managed.

69. CORAL

Coral and coral-derived Products may be subject to wildlife and international-trade restrictions.

Daivavarna may require documentation or prohibit such Products.

70. FEATHERS

Protected bird feathers may not be sold where prohibited.

The Vendor is responsible for species and sourcing legality.

71. LEATHER

Where leather is permitted, it should be accurately disclosed.

Daivavarna may establish additional standards concerning leather Products.

72. SACRED ART

Paintings, sculptures, prints, carvings, or other art depicting:

Deities;

sacred personalities;

temples;

mantras;

yantras;

scriptures;

or other devotional subjects

may be subject to Deity Worship standards or additional review.

73. RESPECTFUL SACRED REPRESENTATION

Sacred imagery should be represented appropriately for Daivavarna’s devotional and traditional Marketplace purpose.

Daivavarna may reject Products whose presentation is materially degrading, obscene, mocking, or inappropriate for the curated Marketplace.

74. FALSE SACRED PROVENANCE

A Vendor shall not falsely claim that artwork or craft Products were:

temple-used;

blessed;

consecrated;

offered to a Deity;

made by a temple;

made by an ashram;

or authorized by a spiritual institution.

75. SPIRITUAL TEACHER IMAGES

Use of a spiritual Teacher’s likeness, name, signature, or branding must comply with intellectual-property, publicity, privacy, and endorsement requirements.

76. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Arts & Crafts Products must comply with the Intellectual Property Policy.

A Product being handmade does not permit copying another person’s protected work.

77. ORIGINAL ARTWORK

A Vendor may sell original artwork that the Vendor owns or is lawfully authorized to sell.

The Listing should accurately identify reproductions where applicable.

78. REPRODUCTIONS

Prints, reproductions, posters, photographs, cast copies, or other reproductions must not be represented as the original work.

79. LIMITED EDITIONS

Limited-edition claims must be genuine.

The Vendor should accurately state edition size where represented.

80. NUMBERED EDITIONS

A Vendor shall not deceptively continue producing additional copies beyond the represented edition limit.

81. SIGNED ARTWORK

Signed-artwork claims must be genuine.

A Vendor shall not forge an artist’s signature.

82. COPIED ARTWORK

A Vendor shall not reproduce another living artist’s protected artwork without sufficient authorization merely because the Product was manually painted.

Hand copying can still infringe intellectual-property rights.

83. TRADITIONAL SUBJECTS

Traditional motifs, Deities, sacred stories, folk patterns, and public-domain cultural subjects may be available for creative use where lawful.

A specific modern artist’s original expression of those subjects may nevertheless be protected.

84. “INSPIRED BY” CLAIMS

Describing a Product as inspired by another style does not automatically make unauthorized copying lawful.

Vendors remain responsible for intellectual-property compliance.

85. TRADEMARKS AND LOGOS

Unauthorized use of commercial:

logos;

brand names;

sports marks;

entertainment characters;

institutional marks;

or other protected identifiers

may violate Marketplace requirements.

86. CUSTOM FAN ART

Commercial fan art involving protected characters or brands may require authorization.

The fact that the Vendor personally drew the artwork does not necessarily provide the right to commercially exploit the underlying protected character.

87. PHOTOGRAPHS

Vendors should use photographs that they created, commissioned with appropriate rights, or are otherwise authorized to use.

88. OTHER VENDORS’ PHOTOGRAPHS

A Vendor shall not copy another Daivavarna Vendor’s Product photographs without authorization.

89. STOCK IMAGES

Where stock or illustrative images are lawfully used, they must not materially misrepresent the actual handmade Product supplied.

90. PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHS

Images should reasonably represent:

materials;

size;

finish;

color;

quantity;

variation;

and Product configuration.

91. ARTISAN PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHS

Vendors may show photographs of artisans or production processes where accurate and appropriately authorized.

A Vendor shall not use photographs of another workshop while presenting them as the Vendor’s own production.

92. VIDEO OF PRODUCTION

Videos showing Product production should accurately reflect the Vendor’s actual method.

Demonstration content shall not be staged in a manner that materially misrepresents mass-produced resale as artisan production.

93. COLOR ACCURACY

Colors may vary between physical Products and screens.

Vendors should make reasonable efforts to represent actual colors accurately.

94. HANDMADE COLOR VARIATION

Hand-dyed, hand-painted, fired, natural-material, or handmade Products may vary in color.

Expected variation should be disclosed where material.

95. DIMENSIONS

Listings should provide reasonably accurate dimensions where size materially affects Customer use.

96. HANDMADE DIMENSIONAL VARIATION

Reasonable dimensional differences may occur in handmade Products.

Where expected variation is significant, the Vendor should state an appropriate approximate range or tolerance.

97. WEIGHT

Where Product weight is important to use or shipping, the Vendor should provide reasonably accurate information.

98. WHAT IS INCLUDED

Listings should clearly identify what the Customer receives.

Decorative props shown in photographs must not create a materially false impression that they are included.

99. ONE-OF-A-KIND PRODUCTS

Where a Product is represented as one-of-a-kind, the claim must be accurate.

The Vendor shall not sell materially identical copies while representing each as the sole unique original where that would be misleading.

100. UNIQUE VERSUS SIMILAR

An artisan may create multiple similar Products.

The Vendor should distinguish appropriately between:

one-of-a-kind;

made-to-order;

limited edition;

similar handmade variation;

or standard repeated design.

101. MADE-TO-ORDER PRODUCTS

Made-to-order Listings should explain expected processing time.

The Product may be represented using a sample photograph where Customers are clearly informed that the final handmade Product may vary reasonably.

102. CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Custom Products may include:

names;

portraits;

dimensions;

colors;

motifs;

inscriptions;

materials;

or other Customer specifications.

The Vendor should clearly describe customization options and limitations.

103. CUSTOMER APPROVAL OF DESIGNS

Where appropriate, a Vendor may provide a proof, sketch, or design preview before production.

If Customer approval is required before final production, the Listing or communication should make that process reasonably clear.

104. CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED ARTWORK

Customers providing photographs, logos, text, designs, or other materials for customization are responsible for having lawful rights to use them.

Vendors should not knowingly reproduce obviously infringing materials merely because a Customer supplied them.

105. PERSONALIZED TEXT

Vendors may refuse personalization that would violate Applicable Law or Daivavarna Marketplace Policies.

106. CUSTOM PRODUCT RETURNS

Custom and personalized Products may be excluded from ordinary change-of-mind returns where lawful.

Customer remedies remain for Products that are:

defective;

unsafe;

materially misdescribed;

incorrectly personalized;

or materially inconsistent with agreed specifications.

107. ARTISAN VARIATION

Reasonable variation is an expected characteristic of many handmade Products.

Variation may include:

minor shape differences;

surface texture;

brush strokes;

wood grain;

stone patterns;

weave;

stitching;

glaze;

metal patina;

or dimensions.

108. VARIATION IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A DEFECT

A reasonable variation consistent with the Listing and nature of the craft is not necessarily a Product defect.

109. DEFECTS ARE NOT “HANDMADE CHARACTER”

A Vendor shall not use the term “handmade variation” to excuse:

dangerous cracking;

major structural failure;

missing components;

severe contamination;

substantial damage;

incorrect customization;

unsafe sharp edges;

or another material defect.

110. POTTERY FIRING VARIATION

Handmade pottery may show reasonable differences in:

glaze;

firing marks;

tone;

shape;

or surface texture.

Where materially relevant, Customers should be informed.

111. CERAMIC CRACKS

Decorative glaze crazing may differ from dangerous structural cracking.

A Vendor shall not knowingly sell structurally unsafe ceramic as ordinary handmade variation.

112. WOOD VARIATION

Wood grain, knots, tone, and minor natural features may vary.

Known serious splits, instability, infestation, or structural defects should not be concealed.

113. METAL PATINA

Handmade metal Products may develop patina or oxidation.

Where relevant, the Vendor should provide appropriate care information.

114. TEXTILE VARIATION

Handwoven or hand-dyed textiles may vary in:

weave;

tone;

pattern alignment;

and dimensions.

Such variation should remain within reasonable Customer expectations.

115. ART MATERIAL SAFETY

Artists and artisans remain responsible for safe and lawful use of:

paints;

pigments;

glazes;

dyes;

adhesives;

sealants;

solvents;

coatings;

and other materials.

116. LEAD AND HEAVY METALS

Unsafe or unlawful concentrations of lead, cadmium, mercury, or other dangerous substances are prohibited.

This is particularly important for Products intended for:

children;

food contact;

body contact;

or frequent household use.

117. CHILDREN’S CRAFT PRODUCTS

Products marketed specifically for children may require additional Product-level approval.

Relevant concerns may include:

small parts;

choking;

sharp edges;

paint;

coatings;

cords;

magnets;

flammability;

and material safety.

118. TOYS

Handmade toys may require specialized children’s Product compliance.

Daivavarna may limit or require individual approval for toys.

119. DECORATIVE PRODUCTS ARE NOT TOYS

A decorative figure or craft object should not be marketed as a children’s toy unless it satisfies requirements applicable to that intended use.

120. FOOD-CONTACT CRAFTS

Handmade:

bowls;

plates;

cups;

spoons;

pottery;

cutting boards;

or similar Products

represented for food use must be reasonably suitable for that use.

121. DECORATIVE VERSUS FOOD-SAFE

A decorative ceramic, painted vessel, wooden piece, or metal Product must not be represented as food-safe without an appropriate basis.

122. FLAME-USE CRAFT PRODUCTS

Handmade:

candle holders;

diyas;

incense holders;

camphor holders;

or other flame-use objects

must be reasonably suitable for the use represented.

123. FIRE-SAFETY CLAIMS

Claims such as:

fireproof;

flameproof;

heatproof;

or completely fire-safe

must have a reasonable factual basis.

124. ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS PROHIBITED AT LAUNCH

Electrical, electronic, plug-in, rechargeable, battery-powered, USB-powered, illuminated, motorized, or otherwise powered craft Products are prohibited during Daivavarna’s initial launch unless Daivavarna later establishes a specialized approval program.

125. EXCLUDED POWERED CRAFTS

Examples may include:

electronic art;

battery-powered décor;

LED craft Products;

powered lamps;

motorized sculptures;

electronic toys;

or similar Products.

Daivavarna may revise this restriction later.

126. NON-ELECTRICAL DECORATIVE PRODUCTS

Non-electrical handmade decorations may be eligible where otherwise compliant.

127. SHARP PRODUCTS

Craft Products containing blades, exposed sharp metal, cutting edges, or other injury hazards may require additional review.

Products principally designed or marketed as weapons are prohibited.

128. GLASS AND BREAKABLE PRODUCTS

Glass, ceramic, stone, and other breakable Products should be reasonably packaged and appropriate for the represented use.

129. STRUCTURAL CRAFT PRODUCTS

Products intended to:

support weight;

hang from walls;

hold Deity forms;

serve as shelves;

support plants;

or perform another structural function

must be reasonably safe for that function.

130. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Where installation affects safety, the Vendor should provide reasonable instructions.

131. WEIGHT LIMITS

Where a structural craft Product has a material weight limitation, that limitation should be disclosed where reasonably necessary.

132. OUTDOOR PRODUCTS

Products represented as suitable for outdoor use should reasonably tolerate the conditions claimed.

Claims such as waterproof, weatherproof, UV-resistant, or rust-proof must have a reasonable basis.

133. BODY-WORN CRAFTS

Wearable artisan Products may also be subject to Clothing or other category requirements.

Materials should be appropriate for the represented body-contact use.

134. ALLERGEN OR SENSITIVITY CLAIMS

A Vendor shall not claim that a Product is hypoallergenic or guaranteed safe for all users without an appropriate basis.

135. SCENTED PRODUCTS

Craft Products containing fragrances, incense, essential oils, herbs, or other scented materials may require additional disclosure or category review.

136. HERBAL OR BODY-USE CRAFTS

A craft Product becomes subject to Ayurveda or body-use requirements where it is marketed for topical, medicinal, oral-care, therapeutic, or ingestible use.

The Arts & Crafts category cannot be used to avoid those requirements.

137. EDIBLE CRAFTS

Edible Products belong principally under Sattvic Foods or another applicable food category.

A Product does not become an Arts & Crafts Product merely because it is artistically decorated.

138. DEITY WORSHIP PRODUCTS

Craft Products principally intended for puja, altar use, or Deity worship may also be subject to Deity Worship Supplemental Terms.

139. HOME & LIVING PRODUCTS

Furniture, kitchenware, household storage, home textiles, or other functional household Products may also be subject to Home & Living requirements.

140. CLOTHING PRODUCTS

Wearable garments and textiles may also be subject to Clothing & Textiles Supplemental Terms.

141. BOOKS AND PRINTED ART

Books and substantial printed publications are governed by the Books category.

Posters, prints, cards, and individual artwork may remain within Arts & Crafts where appropriate.

142. ARTS & CRAFTS SERVICES

Custom artistic work may sometimes constitute a Service rather than a Product.

Daivavarna may determine the appropriate category based upon whether the Customer principally purchases a physical finished Product or personalized labor/Service.

143. COMMISSIONED ARTWORK

Commissioned paintings, portraits, sculptures, or other custom works may be eligible.

The Vendor should clearly disclose:

scope;

size;

medium;

revision limits;

processing time;

shipping;

and customization conditions.

144. PORTRAITS

A Vendor creating portraits from Customer photographs should treat supplied images responsibly.

The Customer remains responsible for having sufficient rights to request the reproduction.

145. SACRED COMMISSIONED ART

Commissioned sacred art may be subject to additional Deity Worship and intellectual-property standards.

146. REVISION POLICIES

Where commissioned work includes a defined number of revisions, that limit should be disclosed before purchase.

147. FINAL APPROVAL

Where a Customer is required to approve a proof before final production, the Vendor may reasonably rely upon that approval, subject to Product defects or Vendor deviations after approval.

148. CANCELLATION AFTER WORK BEGINS

Custom commissions may have different cancellation rights after significant work or material expenditure has begun.

Any such rules must comply with the Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy and Applicable Law.

149. SHIPPING

Arts & Crafts Vendors must comply with the Shipping, Delivery, Local Pickup and International Orders Policy.

150. FRAGILE PACKAGING

Fragile artisan Products should be packaged reasonably for ordinary transportation.

151. LARGE ARTWORK

Large paintings, sculpture, furniture-like craft Products, or oversized objects may require special shipping.

Material delivery conditions should be disclosed.

Local pickup may be offered where supported.

A Vendor shall not disguise restricted wood, wildlife, antiques, or other regulated material as ordinary craft material to avoid inspection.

155. CULTURAL PROPERTY

Archaeological, sacred, historic, or culturally significant objects unlawfully removed from communities, temples, archaeological sites, museums, or cultural institutions are prohibited.

156. ANTIQUES

Antique art and craft Products may require additional review.

Claims concerning age, provenance, origin, or historical importance must have a reasonable factual basis.

157. REPRODUCTION ANTIQUES

Modern reproductions shall not be marketed as authentic antiques.

158. VINTAGE PRODUCTS

Where vintage craft or art Products are permitted, condition and approximate age should be accurately described.

159. CONDITION DISCLOSURE

Used, vintage, or antique Products should disclose material:

damage;

repairs;

cracks;

stains;

missing pieces;

corrosion;

or other significant condition issues.

160. REPAIRED PRODUCTS

A Product that has undergone substantial restoration or repair should not be represented as completely original and unrestored where that would be misleading.

161. RESTORATION WORK

Art restoration or craft restoration may require specialized skill.

If offered as a Service, it may be subject to Services terms in addition to Arts & Crafts requirements.

162. PRODUCT CARE

Where special care is necessary, Vendors should provide appropriate instructions.

This may include guidance concerning:

water;

sunlight;

cleaning;

polishing;

washing;

storage;

heat;

humidity;

or handling.

163. CARE CLAIMS

Claims that a Product is:

washable;

dishwasher-safe;

waterproof;

outdoor-safe;

food-safe;

heat-safe;

or similar

must have a reasonable basis.

164. ARTWORK DISPLAY

Where artwork requires special mounting, framing, protection, or environmental conditions, appropriate information should be provided where material.

165. PRODUCT SAFETY

All Arts & Crafts Products remain subject to the Product Safety and Recall Policy.

Handmade status does not exempt a Product from safety requirements.

166. RECALLS

Vendors must promptly cooperate with Product recalls, stop-sale actions, Customer notifications, refunds, or other corrective measures where applicable.

167. CUSTOMER SAFETY REPORTS

Daivavarna may investigate reports concerning:

unsafe coatings;

sharp edges;

structural failure;

child hazards;

food-contact problems;

flammability;

contamination;

or other Product-safety concerns.

168. DOCUMENTATION

Daivavarna may request information concerning:

production method;

artisan identity;

supplier;

materials;

workshop;

Product origin;

certifications;

traditional craft claim;

wildlife source;

wood species;

testing;

or other material representations.

169. WORK-IN-PROGRESS EVIDENCE

Where handmade authenticity is reasonably questioned, Daivavarna may request evidence such as:

work-in-progress photographs;

workshop photographs;

tools;

process descriptions;

videos;

supplier information;

or other reasonable documentation.

170. NO REQUIREMENT TO DISCLOSE TRADE SECRETS UNNECESSARILY

Daivavarna will not ordinarily require artisans to publicly disclose confidential techniques merely to participate.

However, reasonable private verification may be required where authenticity is questioned.

171. FALSE WORKSHOP EVIDENCE

Staged, stolen, or fabricated workshop photographs or process videos are prohibited.

172. THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTION

A Vendor using another artisan, workshop, production partner, or manufacturer should accurately describe the relationship where necessary to avoid misleading Customers.

173. PRODUCTION PARTNERS

Daivavarna may require disclosure of significant production partners.

Use of a production partner does not necessarily make a Product ineligible.

174. DESIGNER WITH PRODUCTION PARTNER

A Vendor who designs a Product that is produced by another workshop may be eligible where the Listing accurately describes the Vendor’s role and the production method.

The Vendor must not falsely claim personal handmade production.

175. OUTSOURCED FINISHING

Limited outsourced steps such as:

kiln firing;

metal plating;

printing;

professional cutting;

or other specialized processes

may be permitted.

The Product description should remain accurate.

176. FACTORY PRODUCTION

Products substantially made through industrial mass manufacturing may be ineligible for the handmade Arts & Crafts category even where the Vendor designed them.

Daivavarna may determine whether another Product category is appropriate.

177. WHITE-LABEL PRODUCTS

Generic white-label Products with only minimal rebranding ordinarily do not qualify as handmade Arts & Crafts merely because the Vendor adds a logo or packaging.

178. MINIMAL MODIFICATION

Adding a simple sticker, tag, packaging, or minor decorative feature to a finished mass-produced Product does not necessarily convert it into a handmade craft Product.

Daivavarna may evaluate the significance of the transformation.

179. MEANINGFUL TRANSFORMATION

A commercially sourced component may become part of an eligible artisan Product where the Vendor’s work meaningfully changes its:

design;

function;

appearance;

construction;

or character.

180. DROP-SHIPPING

Anonymous mass-market drop-shipping is generally inconsistent with the handmade Arts & Crafts category.

Daivavarna may permit third-party fulfillment only where the Vendor can reasonably verify the Product, maker, authenticity, quality, and fulfillment process.

181. WHOLESALE ARTISAN PRODUCTS

A Vendor may sell genuine artisan Products sourced wholesale from approved makers where the relationship is honestly disclosed and Daivavarna permits that model.

182. IMPORTED ARTISAN PRODUCTS

Imported handmade Products may be eligible.

The Vendor must accurately represent:

country of origin;

maker;

craft;

materials;

and sourcing.

183. LOCAL-MADE CLAIMS

A Product shall not be described as locally made merely because it is stored or shipped locally.

The claim should reflect actual production.

184. “MADE IN INDIA” AND OTHER ORIGIN CLAIMS

Country-of-origin statements must be accurate.

A Product manufactured in one country and merely packaged in another shall not be falsely represented as made in the packaging country.

185. HANDMADE IN A PARTICULAR REGION

Claims such as:

handmade in Rajasthan;

made in Kanchipuram;

made in Kashmir;

made in Odisha;

or another specific place

must have a reasonable factual basis.

186. CULTURAL ATTRIBUTION

Traditional designs should not be attributed to the wrong cultural or regional tradition where that misidentification materially affects Customer expectations.

187. AUTHENTICITY CLAIMS

Claims such as:

authentic;

traditional;

original;

heritage;

museum quality;

master artisan;

temple art;

or similar

must have a reasonable factual basis.

188. “MASTER ARTISAN”

A Vendor shall not describe a person as a master artisan where the term is used as a formal credential or substantial status claim without a reasonable basis.

189. AWARDS

Claims that an artisan or Product received:

government awards;

craft awards;

national recognition;

museum recognition;

or other honors

must be genuine.

190. GOVERNMENT-RECOGNIZED ARTISAN CLAIMS

A Vendor shall not falsely claim governmental artisan recognition, certification, registration, or award status.

191. CERTIFICATIONS

Formal certification claims must be accurate.

This may include certifications concerning:

materials;

organic content;

fair trade;

forest sourcing;

geographical origin;

or other formal standards.

192. ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS

Claims such as:

eco-friendly;

sustainable;

biodegradable;

plastic-free;

zero waste;

recycled;

upcycled;

or responsibly sourced

must have a reasonable factual basis.

193. “BIODEGRADABLE”

A Product shall not be described as fully biodegradable where significant non-biodegradable material is present and the claim would be materially misleading.

194. “PLASTIC-FREE”

A Product shall not be described as plastic-free where significant plastic components are intentionally included.

Minor packaging or functional components should be considered before making absolute claims.

195. PACKAGING CLAIMS

Claims concerning recycled, compostable, plastic-free, or reusable packaging must be truthful.

196. RETURNS

Returns and refunds are governed by the Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy.

Eligible non-customized craft Products may be subject to the Marketplace return period displayed in the Listing.

197. ARTISAN VARIATION AND RETURNS

A Customer should not treat reasonable disclosed artisan variation as a defect merely because the exact Product differs slightly from the photograph.

Material deviations may nevertheless support a remedy.

198. DAMAGED PRODUCTS

A Customer may be entitled to an appropriate remedy where a Product arrives materially damaged.

199. INCORRECT PRODUCTS

Shipping a materially different design, size, material, customization, or Product from the one purchased may qualify as an incorrect Product.

200. CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Custom and personalized Products may have restricted ordinary return rights where lawful.

Mandatory remedies remain for Vendor error, defects, safety issues, or material misdescription.

201. INTELLECTUAL-PROPERTY DISPUTES

Daivavarna may suspend disputed craft Products while investigating credible intellectual-property complaints.

202. COPYCAT CLAIMS

Similarity between two Products does not automatically establish infringement.

Traditional motifs, common techniques, functional designs, and independently created Products may resemble one another.

Daivavarna may consider evidence before taking Marketplace action.

203. ARTISAN DISPUTES

Where artisans dispute authorship or originality, Daivavarna may request:

design sketches;

creation dates;

process photographs;

publication history;

sales records;

or other relevant information.

Daivavarna is not required to conduct a judicial determination of ownership.

204. CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Arts & Crafts Vendors must comply with the Reviews and Community Content Policy.

Vendors shall not suppress legitimate negative feedback merely because a Customer criticizes workmanship or handmade variation.

205. REVIEW MANIPULATION

Vendors shall not:

buy reviews;

submit self-reviews;

create fake Customer accounts;

pressure Customers for five-star ratings;

or condition valid remedies on removal of negative reviews.

206. CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION

materials;

dimensions;

customization;

processing time;

care;

production method;

or Product variation.

207. FALSE PRIVATE REPRESENTATIONS

A Vendor shall not provide false material information in private messages that contradicts or conceals the actual Product.

208. PROCESSING TIME

Handmade Products may require longer processing than mass-produced goods.

The Vendor should provide realistic processing estimates.

209. CUSTOM PRODUCTION DELAYS

Where custom or handmade production is delayed, the Vendor should communicate material delays promptly.

210. CUSTOMER DEADLINES

If a Product is needed for:

a wedding;

festival;

ceremony;

birthday;

event;

or another fixed date,

the Vendor should not guarantee delivery by that date unless reasonably able to do so.

211. SEASONAL CRAFTS

Products associated with festivals or seasonal events should have realistic production and delivery timelines.

212. INVENTORY

One-of-a-kind and small-batch Vendors should maintain reasonably accurate inventory.

A Vendor shall not repeatedly sell the same unique Product to multiple Customers where only one exists.

213. MADE-TO-ORDER INVENTORY

Made-to-order Listings may remain available where the Vendor can reasonably fulfill new Orders.

214. SCARCITY CLAIMS

Claims such as:

only one available;

limited edition;

last piece;

rare craft;

or no longer made

must not be fabricated to create false urgency.

215. PRICING

Artisans are free to set lawful prices subject to Marketplace rules.

Daivavarna does not require handmade Products to be priced according to mass-market alternatives.

216. FALSE DISCOUNTS

A Vendor shall not fabricate inflated former prices solely to create misleading discounts.

217. COMMISSIONS

Custom commissions should clearly state the agreed price and material scope.

Significant changes requested by the Customer after work begins may reasonably require additional payment where agreed.

218. DEPOSITS

Where deposits are permitted for custom work, the amount and cancellation consequences should be clearly disclosed.

219. DIRECT-PAYMENT SERVICES

Where a transaction is treated as an approved custom Service under Daivavarna’s Direct-Payment model, the applicable Services and payment requirements may also apply.

220. DAIVAVARNA-PROCESSED PRODUCT SALES

Ordinary physical Arts & Crafts Product transactions processed through Daivavarna remain subject to the applicable commission, payout, refund, and protection rules.

221. TAXES

Vendors remain responsible for applicable taxes except where Daivavarna is legally required to collect, remit, or withhold particular amounts.

222. BUSINESS LICENSES

Artisans remain responsible for any business registrations, permits, sales licenses, home-business requirements, workshop permissions, or other authorizations required by Applicable Law.

223. WORKSHOP SAFETY

Vendors remain responsible for workplace and production safety.

Daivavarna category approval does not certify the safety of the Vendor’s workshop or manufacturing practices.

224. LABOR PRACTICES

Forced labor, trafficking, unlawful child labor, or other exploitative production practices are prohibited.

225. CHILD ARTISANS

Traditional family craft education involving minors must comply with Applicable Law.

A Vendor shall not use traditional craft status to justify unlawful or exploitative child labor.

226. FAIR ARTISAN REPRESENTATION

A reseller claiming to support artisans should not knowingly misrepresent who receives payment or how Products are sourced.

227. CUSTOMER SAFETY AND RECALLS

Arts & Crafts Products remain subject to the Product Safety and Recall Policy.

A Vendor must promptly report serious known Product-safety concerns or recalls.

228. PROHIBITED PRODUCTS

Products prohibited by the Prohibited and Restricted Products, Services and Activities Policy remain prohibited regardless of whether they are handmade.

Handmade weapons, prohibited wildlife goods, hazardous Products, or other restricted items do not become eligible merely because an artisan made them.

229. CATEGORY MISCLASSIFICATION

A Vendor shall not place a Product in Arts & Crafts merely to avoid:

Clothing;

Home & Living;

Deity Worship;

Ayurveda;

Sattvic Foods;

or another category’s requirements.

Daivavarna may apply multiple category standards where appropriate.

230. PRODUCT-LEVEL REVIEW

Daivavarna may require individual review for Products involving:

children;

food contact;

flame;

sharp components;

wildlife materials;

protected woods;

sacred objects;

structural use;

body contact;

antiquities;

or other elevated risks.

231. DOCUMENTATION REQUESTS

Daivavarna may request reasonable evidence concerning:

production method;

artisan source;

supplier;

materials;

origin;

workshop;

intellectual property;

certification;

safety;

or other material Listing claims.

232. FALSE DOCUMENTATION

Forged artisan certificates, fabricated workshop records, altered invoices, false origin documents, fake awards, fraudulent certifications, or other deceptive documentation are prohibited.

233. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS

Daivavarna may investigate complaints concerning:

false handmade claims;

mass-produced resale;

counterfeit artwork;

unsafe Products;

incorrect materials;

false artisan origin;

intellectual-property infringement;

or material quality issues.

234. CORRECTIVE ACTION

Daivavarna may require a Vendor to:

correct a Listing;

change a handmade claim;

disclose a production partner;

provide documentation;

remove a Product;

refund a Customer;

change packaging;

correct safety information;

or take another reasonable corrective measure.

235. MARKETPLACE ENFORCEMENT

Listing correction;

Listing rejection;

Product suspension;

Product removal;

authenticity verification;

additional documentation requirements;

loss of Arts & Crafts category approval;

payment holds where appropriate;

Customer refunds;

Vendor suspension;

or termination.

236. SERIOUS MISREPRESENTATION

Daivavarna may take stronger action where a Vendor intentionally:

disguises mass-produced goods as handmade;

fabricates artisan identities;

steals workshop photographs;

forges authenticity documents;

copies protected artwork;

sells prohibited wildlife materials;

misrepresents factory production as village craft;

or repeatedly deceives Customers concerning Product origin.

237. GOOD-FAITH CLASSIFICATION ERRORS

A genuine misunderstanding concerning whether a production method qualifies as handmade does not necessarily require severe enforcement.

Daivavarna may first require correction where the Vendor acted in good faith and no serious deception occurred.

238. MARKETPLACE CURATION

A Product may be lawfully sold elsewhere but still be declined where Daivavarna determines that it does not sufficiently fit the Arts & Crafts category or broader Marketplace purpose.

239. CATEGORY STANDARDS MAY EVOLVE

Daivavarna may develop more specific standards for:

pottery;

painting;

woodworking;

textiles;

traditional regional crafts;

jewelry;

sculpture;

children’s crafts;

sacred art;

or other subcategories.

240. CHANGES TO THESE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS

Daivavarna may update these Arts & Crafts Supplemental Vendor Terms as craft practices, Marketplace operations, technologies, Product categories, safety requirements, or legal obligations evolve.

Material changes may require Vendor reacceptance.

241. CATEGORY TERMS VERSIONING

Daivavarna may maintain an electronic record identifying:

Vendor identity;

category;

Category Terms Version;

date and time of acceptance;

and other reasonable acceptance information.

Acceptance of Version 1.0 does not automatically constitute acceptance of a later materially revised version.

242. REACCEPTANCE AFTER MATERIAL CHANGES

Where these Supplemental Terms are materially revised, Daivavarna may require the Vendor to review and accept the updated version before creating, editing, publishing, or continuing to offer Arts & Crafts Products.

243. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER CATEGORY TERMS

Certain Arts & Crafts Products may also be governed by another category.

For example:

handmade clothing may also be subject to Clothing & Textiles terms;

cookware and household crafts may also be subject to Home & Living terms;

devotional crafts may also be subject to Deity Worship terms;

body-use herbal crafts may be subject to Ayurveda requirements;

and food Products remain subject to Sattvic Foods requirements.

Daivavarna may apply relevant requirements together.

244. RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL VENDOR TERMS

These Supplemental Terms supplement rather than replace the General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement.

The Vendor must comply with both.

Where these Supplemental Terms establish a more specific Arts & Crafts requirement, the more specific requirement ordinarily governs the category-specific issue unless Applicable Law or another expressly controlling Marketplace rule provides otherwise.

245. CONTACT

246. VENDOR CATEGORY ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By accepting these Arts & Crafts Supplemental Vendor Terms, the Vendor confirms that the Vendor has reviewed and understands the authenticity, handmade, artisan, material, safety, intellectual-property, sourcing, and Marketplace requirements applicable to Arts & Crafts Products offered through Daivavarna.

The Vendor understands that a Product does not have to be created entirely without tools or machinery in order to qualify as handmade and that genuine artisans may use sewing machines, looms, kilns, pottery wheels, molds, woodworking equipment, cutting tools, digital design tools, assistants, workshops, and other reasonable production methods.

The Vendor agrees, however, that all descriptions of production methods must be materially accurate and that machine-made, printed, molded, factory-produced, or commercially manufactured components shall not be falsely described as entirely hand-painted, hand-carved, handwoven, hand-embroidered, hand-forged, hand-thrown, or otherwise handmade where such a description would materially mislead Customers.

The Vendor agrees not to purchase finished mass-produced Products and deceptively present them as Products personally handmade by the Vendor.

The Vendor understands that resale or third-party sourcing may be permitted in appropriate circumstances, but the Vendor must accurately identify the Vendor’s role and must not fabricate artisan identities, village origins, workshop stories, cooperative relationships, social-impact claims, or handmade production.

The Vendor acknowledges that genuine artisan workshops, cooperatives, family businesses, employees, assistants, and production partners may participate where their roles are accurately represented.

The Vendor agrees to accurately describe materials, dimensions, production methods, customization, artisan origin, country or region of origin, handmade status, natural variation, condition, certifications, and other material Product characteristics.

The Vendor agrees not to unlawfully copy another artist’s protected artwork, design, photograph, logo, or other intellectual property merely because the copy is made manually.

The Vendor understands that traditional motifs, sacred subjects, and public-domain cultural themes may coexist with protected modern artistic expressions and that the Vendor remains responsible for intellectual-property compliance.

The Vendor acknowledges that handmade or traditional status does not exempt a Product from Product-safety, wildlife, food-contact, children’s Product, flame, customs, environmental, or other legal requirements.

The Vendor further acknowledges that electrical, electronic, rechargeable, plug-in, battery-powered, and other powered craft Products are prohibited during Daivavarna’s initial launch unless Daivavarna expressly establishes a future approval program.

The Vendor understands that category approval does not guarantee approval of every Product and that Daivavarna may require Product-level review or evidence concerning the maker, production process, workshop, materials, sourcing, safety, or authenticity.

The Vendor agrees to comply with these Supplemental Terms, the General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement, Marketplace Policies, Product Safety requirements, Intellectual Property Policy, and Applicable Law for so long as the Vendor offers Arts & Crafts Products through Daivavarna.
