Vintage Ceylon reserves the right to update product information, modify listings, or discontinue products where necessary.

Where a material issue affecting an order is identified before fulfilment, Vintage Ceylon may contact the customer to discuss an appropriate solution.

Any applicable delivery charges, taxes, or other charges will be communicated or displayed as applicable to the order.

Product-Specific Limitations

Certain Vintage Ceylon products may be handmade, artisan-produced, naturally sourced, or created using traditional methods. Such products may contain natural variations and individual characteristics that are part of their nature and should not automatically be considered defects.

Where a product has specific care instructions, usage limitations, material characteristics, or other relevant conditions, customers are responsible for following the information provided with the product or on its product listing.

Damaged, Incorrect or Missing Products

If a customer receives a product that is damaged, defective, incorrect, or missing from the confirmed order, the customer should contact Vintage Ceylon as soon as reasonably possible and provide relevant order details and, where appropriate, photographs or other information that may assist us in assessing the issue.
