We will not be liable if for any reason this Website is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts or all of this Website.

Prohibitions:

You must not misuse this Website. You will not: commit or encourage a criminal offense; transmit or distribute a virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb or any other material which is malicious, technologically harmful, in breach of confidence or in any way offensive or obscene; hack into any aspect of the Service; corrupt data; cause annoyance to other users; infringe upon the rights of any other person’s proprietary rights; send any unsolicited advertising or promotional material, commonly referred to as “spam”; or attempt to affect the performance or functionality of any computer facilities of or accessed through this Website. Breaching this provision would constitute a criminal offense and https://steelfxpatinas.com will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and disclose your identity to them.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of this Website or to your downloading of any material posted on it, or on any website linked to it.

Ordering by Phone:

We understand that some customers prefer to order by phone, and although we don’t have a large staff, we welcome all orders, whether by email, phone or directly from the website: steelfxpatinas.com. On any single item orders, or product orders that total less than $100.00, beginning 06/2015, there will be a processing fee of $15.00 added to your order.  This is only to cover our in-house product fulfillment, which is much more complicated on a phone order.  

Also, payment information (Credit Card) that is declined by our payment processor is subject to a $10.00 fee per declination, part of which is assessed by our processor for a declined card.  We’re unable to continue to lose money on orders with invalid payment information given by you, the customer.  Of course, if the mistake, such as a typo, is on our end, there is No Surcharge.

It is much better for you to order from the site, as the automated paper-flow & order fulfillment (pulling, packaging, labeling & shipping) is much more streamlined with a website order.   We thank you for your patronage & your understanding in this matter.  This will give me additional R&D Time For New Patinas & Products & I appreciate you, the customer…more than you could ever know.   Thanks!   Bill
