Terms and Conditions
Last updated:
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of birch-lantern.com and any purchase you make from Birch Lantern LLC. By browsing our website or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Products and Availability
All products offered on birch-lantern.com are subject to availability. We make every effort to keep product listings accurate and up to date, including descriptions, dimensions, materials, and imagery. However, we cannot guarantee that every item displayed is in stock at the time you place your order. If a product becomes unavailable after your order is confirmed, we will notify you by email and offer a full refund or, where possible, an estimated restock date.
Product images are provided for illustrative purposes and are as accurate as photographic reproduction allows. Colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen's calibration and display settings. If you have questions about the appearance or specifications of a specific product, please contact us at hello@birch-lantern.com before purchasing.
Birch Lantern reserves the right to discontinue any product at any time without prior notice. We also reserve the right to limit quantities available for purchase per customer or household, particularly during high-demand periods or promotional events.
2. Orders and Payment
When you place an order on birch-lantern.com, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products at the stated price. Your order is confirmed once you receive an order confirmation email from us. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, or product unavailability.
Payment is processed securely at checkout through our third-party payment provider. We accept major credit and debit cards as well as any additional payment methods displayed at checkout. Your payment details are transmitted directly to our payment provider using industry-standard encryption and are never stored on our own servers.
By submitting an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that the billing information you supply is accurate. In the event of a payment failure or dispute, we will contact you at the email address associated with your order to resolve the issue before your order is processed further.
3. Prices and Taxes
All prices on birch-lantern.com are listed in US dollars (USD) and are exclusive of applicable sales tax unless otherwise stated at checkout. Sales tax is calculated based on the delivery address and applicable state and local tax rates, and the final tax amount will be displayed before you complete your purchase.
Birch Lantern reserves the right to change product prices at any time without prior notice. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been confirmed. If a pricing error is identified on a confirmed order, we will contact you to discuss the options, which may include canceling the order and issuing a full refund.
Promotional discounts and coupon codes are subject to their own terms and expiration dates and may not be combined with other offers unless explicitly stated. Birch Lantern reserves the right to cancel orders that exploit pricing errors or unauthorized discount combinations.
4. Shipping
Birch Lantern ships to addresses within the contiguous United States (the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C.). We do not currently ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, or international destinations. Orders are typically processed within 1-2 business days of payment confirmation, and standard delivery takes 4-7 business days from the date of shipment.
Once your order has shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing a tracking number so you can monitor your delivery. Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed; occasional delays may occur due to carrier capacity, weather events, or other circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for delays caused by the carrier once the package has left our facility.
All shipments within the contiguous United States are delivered duty-free; no additional customs or import fees apply. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us at hello@birch-lantern.com within 5 business days of delivery with photographs of the damage so we can arrange a resolution promptly.
5. Returns
We want you to be satisfied with every purchase from Birch Lantern. If you are not completely happy with your order, you may return eligible items within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions set out in our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Please review our Refund Policy at birch-lantern.com/refund-policy for full details on return eligibility, how to initiate a return, refund timelines, and how return shipping costs are handled. Returns that do not comply with the conditions stated in that policy may not be accepted.
Birch Lantern reserves the right to refuse returns that are received outside the 30-day window or that do not meet the condition requirements described in our Refund Policy. If you have any questions before initiating a return, please contact us at hello@birch-lantern.com.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on birch-lantern.com — including but not limited to text, product descriptions, photographs, graphics, logos, and the overall site design — is the property of Birch Lantern LLC or its content suppliers and is protected by US copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may browse and use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, or create derivative works from any content on birch-lantern.com without our prior written consent. Unauthorized use of our content may give rise to a claim for damages and could constitute a criminal offense.
The Birch Lantern name, logo, and product names are trademarks of Birch Lantern LLC. Nothing on this site should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademark without our prior written permission.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Birch Lantern LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of our website 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 relating to a purchase shall not exceed the amount you paid for the product in question.
Birch Lantern makes no warranties, express or implied, beyond those required by applicable law, regarding the fitness of our products for any particular purpose. We do not warrant that the website will be available at all times, free of errors, or free of viruses or other harmful components, though we take reasonable steps to maintain a secure and functional site.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
8. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions and any dispute arising out of or related to them or your use of birch-lantern.com shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any legal action or proceeding relating to your access to, or use of, this website or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. By using this site, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall not affect their validity and enforceability.
9. Changes to These Terms and Contact
Birch Lantern LLC reserves the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of birch-lantern.com after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
