What do these Terms of Service cover, and who operates The Maker's Map?
Brief takeaway: These Terms regulate the use of shopthemakersmap.com and transactions with The Maker's Map, a brand managed by The Rusty Nail Home Market, LLC based in Rincon, Georgia.
A: These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of shopthemakersmap.com, related webpages, online services, and purchases from The Maker's Map.
By accessing our website, signing up, ordering, buying a subscription or digital product, or using our services in any way, you accept these Terms and any related policies.
If you do not agree, do not use the website or purchase our products or services.
The website and online store are run by The Rusty Nail Home Market, LLC. This is a Georgia limited liability company that operates under the brand names The Maker's Map, DIY with Amber Strong, and Amber Strong DIY.
Throughout these Terms, “The Maker's Map,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to The Rusty Nail Home Market, LLC and its brands.
The Maker's Map is a craft and creative-products business based in Rincon, Effingham County, Georgia. We offer products and services that may include unfinished laser-cut DIY wood craft kits, interchangeable seasonal décor pieces, craft supplies, apparel, digital downloads, tutorials, classes, courses, memberships, subscriptions, workshops, events, and laser-cutting services. Availability varies.
Our business operates on Eastern Time. Deadlines, sale end times, event times, and customer-service hours shown without another time-zone label refer to Eastern Time.
1. Who may use The Maker's Map website and online store?
Brief takeaway: Users must have legal capacity or appropriate parental involvement and may not misuse, damage, or compromise the website or its systems.
A: You must be at least the age of majority where you live to make a purchase or create an account, or you must use the website with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. You may not use the website, our services, or our products for an illegal or unauthorized purpose.
You must not introduce viruses, malware, destructive code, automated attacks, or other material that could damage the website, interfere with another user's access, or compromise data or security. We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated.
2. What products and services does The Maker's Map offer?
Brief takeaway: The Maker's Map offers a changing selection of craft products and creative services, and customers should rely on each listing for the exact contents and details.
A: Product photographs, mockups, descriptions, measurements, materials, colors, and availability are provided to help customers make informed purchasing decisions. We work to make this information accurate, but screen settings, lighting, handmade finishing, natural material variation, and manufacturing tolerances may cause reasonable differences between an image and the product received.
Unless a listing expressly states otherwise, unfinished DIY craft kits and wood blanks may arrive unpainted and unassembled. Paint, glue, brushes, tools, stands, embellishments, protective equipment, and other supplies are not included unless the listing specifically says they are included. Read the full product description before purchasing.
We may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue products, product options, services, discounts, or features at any time. Product limits may be applied by customer, household, account, payment method, shipping address, geographic area, or order when reasonably necessary to manage inventory, fraud, resale, safety, or legal restrictions.
3. When is an order accepted?
Brief takeaway: An order confirmation acknowledges receipt but does not guarantee acceptance, inventory, production, or shipment.
A: Submitting an order is an offer to purchase. An automated order confirmation acknowledges that we received the order; it does not guarantee acceptance, inventory, production, or shipment. We may accept, reject, limit, or cancel an order for reasons including inventory errors, pricing errors, suspected fraud, payment authorization problems, prohibited resale, shipping restrictions, or violation of these Terms.
If we cancel an order after payment has been captured, we will refund the amount charged for the canceled item or order, subject to any separate lawful adjustment explained to you. We may contact you using the email address, telephone number, billing address, or shipping information supplied with the order.
4. How do prices, taxes, promotions, and payments work?
Brief takeaway: The checkout total controls, payment is due at checkout, and obvious pricing errors or unapplied promotions may be handled under the stated rules.
A: Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. Product prices generally do not include shipping, handling, or applicable taxes. The total available at checkout controls, subject to correction of an obvious error.
If a price or product description is clearly incorrect, we may correct the information before fulfillment. When required, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to accept the corrected price or cancel the affected item. We will not retroactively apply a sale price, discount, promotional code, credit, or refund to an order placed before the promotion began or without the applicable code, except where required by law or expressly stated in the promotion.
Payment is due at checkout through the payment methods then displayed. Payment providers may perform authorization, identity, address, and fraud checks under their own terms. We are not responsible for a payment provider's decision to approve or decline a transaction.
How do installment payments work?
Brief takeaway: Any installment option is governed by the provider's terms and does not change The Maker's Map's fulfillment, return, cancellation, or intellectual-property policies.
A: If Sezzle or another installment-payment provider is offered at checkout, that provider's eligibility rules, payment schedule, fees, privacy practices, and terms apply. Installment payment may not be available for subscriptions or certain products. Choosing installments does not change our fulfillment, return, cancellation, or intellectual-property policies.
5. What billing, account, and shipping information must customers provide?
Brief takeaway: Customers must provide accurate information, review the delivery address before ordering, and follow the Shipping Policy for shipping-related issues.
A: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete contact, billing, payment, and shipping information. You are responsible for reviewing your order and delivery address before submitting payment and promptly contacting us if you discover an error.
Orders are sent to the shipping address submitted at checkout. Address changes are not guaranteed after an order is placed. Responsibility for an incorrectly addressed, returned, refused, lost, or stolen package will be determined under our Shipping Policy, carrier procedures, applicable law, and the specific circumstances. Nothing in these Terms eliminates rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
For processing estimates, shipping methods, delivery issues, address corrections, and carrier claims, review our Shipping Policy.
6. How do processing times, delivery, and events beyond our control affect an order?
Brief takeaway: Processing time is separate from carrier transit time, and delays caused by events outside the business's reasonable control are handled subject to applicable law.
A: Processing time is the period required to prepare or produce an order before the carrier receives it. Processing time is different from carrier transit time. Current estimates should be displayed on the product page, cart, announcement bar, checkout, or Shipping Policy. Seasonal demand, made-to-order production, preorders, customization, and product launches may lengthen processing times.
We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including carrier disruptions, severe weather, natural disasters, fire, equipment failure, labor disputes, supply shortages, customs delays, epidemics or pandemics, internet or utility outages, governmental action, or other force-majeure events. We will communicate material delays when reasonably practical and will comply with any cancellation or refund rights required by law.
7. What rules apply to returns, refunds, exchanges, and damaged orders?
Brief takeaway: The Return and Refund Policy and product-specific terms control, and customers should promptly document and report damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect orders.
A: Eligibility for a return, refund, exchange, replacement, cancellation, or store credit is governed by the Return and Refund Policy in effect when the order is placed, together with any product-specific terms disclosed before purchase. Review that policy before ordering.
Contact us promptly if an order arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or materially different from what was ordered. Include the order number and clear photographs of the packaging, shipping label, damage, and affected items when requested. We may require reasonable information to evaluate the claim and determine the appropriate remedy.
No provision stating that a sale is final limits any non-waivable rights or remedies available under applicable law.
8. How may DIY craft kits, wood blanks, and finished crafts be used?
Brief takeaway: Standard purchases are for personal use unless written commercial permission is granted, and unfinished kits or blanks may not be copied or resold without authorization.
A: Our DIY craft kits and wood blanks are intended for creative use. Unless the listing grants additional permission, a standard retail purchase permits personal use, including completing the project for yourself or giving the completed project as a personal gift.
You may not resell an unfinished kit or blank, copy its design, reproduce its components, create templates or cutting files from it, or use it for commercial production unless we give you written permission or the listing expressly includes a commercial license.
What rules apply to commercial-use blanks and workshops?
Brief takeaway: Approved commercial use requires written authorization, prohibits resale of unfinished blanks, and includes the stated minimum resale-price condition for finished crafts.
A: We may offer approved blank-kit purchasing for customers who want to paint and finish projects for resale or use them in a paid workshop. Commercial-use availability, minimum quantities, pricing, designer restrictions, permitted sales channels, and license scope must be confirmed in writing before purchase. Permission to sell a completed project does not include permission to resell unfinished blanks, redistribute files, manufacture copies, sublicense the design, or claim ownership of the design.
Minimum resale-price condition. As a condition of purchasing discounted blanks for approved commercial use, you may not sell a finished craft made from those blanks at a price lower than the current retail price charged by The Maker's Map for the corresponding product. The Rusty Nail Home Market, LLC adopts this reseller condition independently and may decline or discontinue commercial-use sales to a reseller that does not follow it. This condition does not authorize the resale of unfinished blanks or kits.
Some products use designs licensed from independent designers. Those products may have narrower commercial-use rights. The product listing or separate written license controls if it conflicts with a general permission stated here.
For commercial-use inquiries, designer collaborations, wholesale orders, group orders, or paint-party purchasing, contact info@themakersmap.com before ordering.
9. What rules apply to laser-cutting services?
Brief takeaway: Laser-cutting work may require separate specifications and agreements, and customers must have the rights to every submitted design or file.
A: Laser-cutting services, if offered, may require a separate quote, proof approval, production schedule, material specification, file requirement, deposit, and service agreement. You represent that you own or have permission to use every design, trademark, image, font, file, or other material you submit for production. We may decline work that appears unlawful, unsafe, infringing, technically unsuitable, or inconsistent with our production standards.
10. What safety responsibilities apply to craft materials and tools?
Brief takeaway: Customers are responsible for following product-specific warnings, instructions, supervision requirements, ventilation guidance, and safe handling practices.
A: Crafting may involve sharp edges, small parts, adhesives, paints, heat tools, power tools, dust, chemicals, or other hazards. Read product labels, manufacturer instructions, safety data, age recommendations, and warnings before use. Use appropriate ventilation, protective equipment, supervision, and safe handling for the particular material or tool. Keep products that present choking, cutting, ingestion, or chemical hazards away from children and pets.
What safety rules apply to epoxy resin?
Brief takeaway: Resin users must follow the manufacturer's label and safety data, including the specific ventilation and protective-equipment requirements for that product.
A: Epoxy resin is a chemical product that may cause irritation, sensitization, allergic reaction, or other harm when handled improperly. Before use, review the manufacturer's label and safety data sheet. Use the specific protective equipment and ventilation required by the manufacturer; do not rely on a general equipment list as a substitute for product-specific instructions. Do not use resin products if you cannot follow the manufacturer's precautions.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume the ordinary risks associated with your chosen use of craft materials. This provision does not exclude liability that cannot legally be limited or waived.
11. What terms apply to apparel purchased through Whatnot?
Brief takeaway: Whatnot's mandatory marketplace and Buyer Protection rules control apparel transactions where applicable, while buyer's-remorse purchases remain final to the permitted extent.
A: The Maker's Map currently sells apparel through Whatnot. Apparel orders placed through Whatnot are also governed by Whatnot's terms, Buyer Protection Policy, seller requirements, payment rules, cancellation procedures, and dispute processes. If these Terms conflict with a mandatory Whatnot marketplace rule, the applicable Whatnot rule controls for that transaction.
Apparel is made or fulfilled according to the size, color, garment, and design options selected during the Whatnot purchase. Review the Whatnot listing, live-sale presentation, available size information, color information, mockup notes, and care instructions before purchasing.
Digital screens and lighting may affect color appearance. Product mockups show the intended design placement, but the printed design may appear proportionally larger on a smaller garment and smaller on a larger garment. Print dimensions and placement may vary reasonably by design, garment, and size.
To the extent permitted by law and Whatnot's mandatory policies, all apparel sales are final. We do not offer voluntary reprints, exchanges, returns, credits, or refunds for customer-selected size, garment color, or design combinations. Dislike of a selected size, color, garment, or design combination is not a product defect. This final-sale policy does not eliminate a remedy required by law or available under Whatnot's Buyer Protection Policy for an incorrect, damaged, defective, counterfeit, or materially misrepresented item.
Follow the provided care instructions; damage caused by improper washing, drying, ironing, bleaching, or other care is not a manufacturing defect. Apparel-order questions, return requests, and transaction disputes should be submitted through the applicable Whatnot order and support process.
12. What terms and license apply to digital downloads?
Brief takeaway: Digital sales are final as stated, and each purchase provides only a limited personal, noncommercial license rather than ownership of the design or copyright.
A: Digital products may include printables, SVG files, templates, patterns, tutorials, videos, curriculum, or other downloadable or online content. All digital-product sales are final. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, credits, or substitutions after purchase, except where required by law. If a purchased file is inaccessible or does not work as delivered, contact info@themakersmap.com so we can help restore access or correct the file.
Purchasing or downloading a digital product gives you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license for personal, noncommercial use only, unless the listing or a separate written license expressly grants commercial use. The purchase does not transfer ownership of the copyright or design.
What personal uses of digital products are permitted?
Brief takeaway: Customers may use digital products for their own personal projects and gifts and may share finished-project photos without sharing the underlying files.
A: Download and store the file for your own personal use.
Print or cut the file as reasonably needed for your own personal projects.
Use a printed project to make a noncommercial personal gift.
Share photographs of your completed project and link others to the official product page or tutorial, without sharing the underlying file.
What uses of digital products are prohibited?
Brief takeaway: Digital files and designs may not be redistributed, sold, shared, converted, commercially exploited, stripped of rights information, or sent for unauthorized production.
A: Do not sell, sublicense, distribute, forward, upload, post, share, trade, or give away a digital file or printed template.
Do not place files on websites, blogs, social media, file-sharing services, hosting platforms, shared drives, USB drives, discs, or other distribution systems.
Do not use the file, design, template, curriculum, or any extracted element for products sold commercially, paid workshops, giveaways, promotions, monetized content, or business use without written permission.
Do not modify, trace, digitize, convert, or use the file to create a competing or derivative design, cutting file, laser file, template, or product.
Do not remove copyright, trademark, attribution, watermark, or rights-management information.
Do not send the file to another person or service provider for unauthorized manufacturing or cutting.
13. What rules apply to classes, courses, tutorials, memberships, and events?
Brief takeaway: Access is limited to the purchaser, and protected content may not be shared, copied, taught, resold, redistributed, or monetized.
A: A purchase of a class, course, tutorial, membership, workshop, event, or community grants access only to the purchaser for the stated access period and permitted use. Access credentials, private group posts, videos, curriculum, documents, recordings, and member-only content may not be shared with family members, friends, employees, assistants, customers, nonpaying members, or the public.
You may not record, copy, download except as expressly allowed, teach, relabel, resell, sublicense, distribute, publicly perform, or monetize our class, course, tutorial, membership, or event content. Cancellation, transfer, attendance, replay access, and refund terms disclosed in the listing or event-specific agreement also apply.
14. How do subscriptions, automatic renewal, cancellation, and refunds work?
Brief takeaway: Subscriptions renew as disclosed, customers must use the provided management method to cancel, and paid subscription periods are nonrefundable except where required by law.
A: A subscription renews and charges the payment method on file at the frequency, price, and duration disclosed before enrollment, unless you cancel before the next renewal date. Product-specific subscription terms presented on the listing or at checkout are incorporated into these Terms.
You are responsible for managing and canceling your subscription through the account or subscription-management method identified at enrollment and in your account communications. Cancellation stops future renewals after the already-paid period. Subscription, membership, and subscription-box payments are final and nonrefundable, including monthly and annual payments, except where required by law. Canceling does not create a refund or credit for the remaining portion of a paid period; access continues through that paid period when the service permits.
An email asking us to cancel does not itself complete cancellation unless we expressly confirm that the subscription has been canceled. You must use the provided self-service cancellation method. If that method is unavailable or does not work, contact info@themakersmap.com promptly with the account email and subscription details so we can provide reasonable assistance.
We may suspend or terminate membership access for material violations of these Terms, nonpayment, misuse, unlawful conduct, credential sharing, infringement, or conduct that threatens the safety or operation of the community or service. Any effect on prepaid access or refunds will be determined by applicable law and the specific circumstances.
15. Who owns The Maker's Map's intellectual property, and how may it be used?
Brief takeaway: The Maker's Map or its licensors retain ownership, and protected content may be used only within the permissions expressly granted.
A: The website and its content—including text, photographs, videos, graphics, logos, branding, product presentation, original designs, illustrations, templates, tutorials, course materials, downloads, and compilations—are owned by or licensed to The Maker's Map and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property or a third-party designer's intellectual property. Except for the limited personal-use permissions expressly stated above, you may not reproduce, copy, republish, distribute, display, perform, transmit, scrape, sell, license, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit protected content without prior written permission.
If you want to feature our content, request a collaboration, license a design, sell approved finished projects, or work with us as a designer, email info@themakersmap.com. Permission is valid only when confirmed in writing and may be subject to additional terms.
16. What rules apply to user content, reviews, and feedback?
Brief takeaway: Customers remain responsible for submitted content, grant a limited business-use license, and retain the right to publish lawful, honest reviews.
A: If you submit a review, photograph, comment, contest entry, suggestion, or other content (“User Content”), you represent that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate another person's rights or applicable law. You remain responsible for your User Content.
You grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, format, and share User Content for operating, improving, and promoting our business, subject to applicable privacy and consumer-protection laws. This license does not transfer ownership of your honest review to us or prevent you from using your own content.
We welcome honest reviews, including critical reviews. Nothing in these Terms prohibits or penalizes a lawful, honest consumer review. We may report, decline to publish, or remove content that is unlawful, knowingly false, threatening, harassing, obscene, discriminatory, fraudulent, unrelated to the product or service, contains private information, infringes intellectual property, includes malware or spam, or violates a platform's published review rules.
We encourage customers to contact us and allow us a reasonable opportunity to address an order or product concern before posting a review. This request does not restrict a customer's right to publish an honest review.
17. What conduct and uses are prohibited?
Brief takeaway: Unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, abusive, disruptive, deceptive, or security-threatening behavior may result in blocked communications, canceled orders, or restricted access.
A: You may not use the website or services to:
violate a law, regulation, court order, or another person's rights;
infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
submit fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, obscene, or unlawful material;
impersonate another person or misrepresent the origin of a communication;
upload malware or interfere with website, account, payment, or security systems;
collect personal information about others without authorization;
spam, phish, scrape, crawl, probe, reverse engineer, or use automated systems in a manner that disrupts the service or violates applicable law;
circumvent access controls, membership restrictions, purchase limits, licensing terms, or security features; or
use our products, content, or services for unauthorized resale, commercial production, or redistribution.
We do not tolerate abusive, threatening, obscene, harassing, fraudulent, or persistently disruptive communications; trolling; intellectual-property theft; impersonation; or interference with our website, email, or social-media communities. We may refuse service, block communications, restrict accounts, cancel orders, or suspend access because of such conduct or when reasonably necessary to protect customers, employees, intellectual property, systems, community safety, or legal rights. We will not refuse service for an unlawful discriminatory reason or penalize a customer for a lawful, honest review.
18. How do promotional email and text messages work?
Brief takeaway: Marketing requires separate consent and can be unsubscribed from, while permitted transactional communications may continue.
A: If you separately consent to receive marketing email or text messages, we may send promotions using the contact information you provided. Consent to marketing is not a condition of purchase unless clearly and lawfully disclosed for a specific program. Message and data rates may apply to text messages.
You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the unsubscribe link in the message. You may opt out of marketing text messages using the instructions in the message. Transactional communications about orders, accounts, subscriptions, security, or customer service may still be sent when permitted by law. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.
19. How does The Maker's Map address personal information and security?
Brief takeaway: The Privacy Policy governs personal information, and reasonable safeguards are used without guaranteeing absolute security.
A: Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used or disclosed, available privacy choices, and how to contact us. Shopify and other service providers may process information under their own terms and privacy notices.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to our operations. However, no internet transmission, electronic storage method, or security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Do not include sensitive payment or identity information in ordinary email.
20. What rules apply to third-party services and links?
Brief takeaway: Third-party providers operate under their own terms and are responsible for their independent services, content, security, and practices.
A: The website may use or link to third-party services, including Shopify, payment providers, installment-payment providers, shipping carriers, social-media platforms, embedded media, analytics, applications, marketplaces, or websites. Third parties operate under their own terms, policies, and practices. We are not responsible for a third party's independent content, availability, security, acts, or omissions, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
Review third-party terms before using their services or completing a transaction through them. Questions about a third party's product or service should be directed to that provider, while questions about an order placed directly with us should be directed to The Maker's Map.
21. What happens if website information is inaccurate or the website is unavailable?
Brief takeaway: The Maker's Map may correct errors and modify or suspend website features and does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
A: We may correct typographical errors, pricing errors, product-description errors, promotion terms, shipping charges, transit estimates, availability, or other inaccuracies. Historical articles and archived information may be retained for reference and may not describe current products or policies.
We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We may maintain, update, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the website or service. These Terms do not require us to preserve a particular feature indefinitely.
22. What warranties are disclaimed?
Brief takeaway: The website and services are provided as-is to the maximum lawful extent, without limiting rights or warranties that cannot legally be waived.
A: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, DURABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE EXTENT SUCH DISCLAIMERS ARE LAWFUL.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS A WARRANTY OR CONSUMER RIGHT THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED.
23. How is liability limited?
Brief takeaway: Liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law, including the stated exclusion of certain damages and purchase-related liability cap.
A: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE MAKER'S MAP AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR REPLACEMENT COSTS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, CONTENT, OR PRODUCTS, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES MAY OCCUR.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR A CLAIM RELATED TO A PURCHASE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.
24. When does indemnification apply?
Brief takeaway: Customers may be responsible for qualifying third-party claims caused by unlawful use, material breach, infringement, or unauthorized submitted materials.
A: To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Maker's Map and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, service providers, and licensors from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the website or services, your material breach of these Terms, your infringement of another person's rights, or materials you submit for laser cutting or publication. This obligation does not require you to indemnify a party for that party's own unlawful conduct where such indemnification is prohibited.
25. When may access be suspended or terminated?
Brief takeaway: Access may be suspended or terminated for stated violations or risks, while surviving obligations and previously accrued rights remain effective.
A: You may stop using the website at any time. Account, membership, course, subscription, and purchase obligations that by their nature should survive termination—including payment obligations, licenses, intellectual-property restrictions, disclaimers, liability limitations, and dispute provisions—remain effective as applicable.
We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary because of nonpayment, fraud, security threats, unlawful activity, intellectual-property violations, credential sharing, harassment, or a material breach of these Terms. Termination does not eliminate amounts lawfully due or rights and remedies that arose before termination.
26. Which law and courts govern these Terms?
Brief takeaway: Georgia law and courts with jurisdiction over Effingham County generally govern, subject to non-waivable consumer protections and legally required forums.
A: These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except when another jurisdiction's non-waivable consumer law applies. Subject to any legally required forum or process, the parties consent to the state and federal courts with jurisdiction over Effingham County, Georgia.
Before filing a claim, we encourage you to contact info@themakersmap.com with the order number and a clear description of the issue so the parties can attempt to resolve it informally. This informal-resolution request does not shorten or waive a legal deadline or a non-waivable consumer right.
27. How may these Terms change?
Brief takeaway: Revisions are posted with a new effective date and generally apply prospectively rather than automatically changing completed-purchase terms.
A: We may update these Terms by posting a revised version and changing the effective date. Changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date unless applicable law permits otherwise. Your continued use of the website after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Terms that applied to a completed purchase remain subject to applicable law and any product-specific agreement made at the time of purchase.
28. What general provisions apply?
Brief takeaway: These Terms work with incorporated policies and product-specific terms, and standard severability, waiver, interpretation, and assignment rules apply.
A: These Terms, together with the policies and product-specific terms incorporated by reference, form the agreement governing your use of the website and covered purchases. If a product listing or separately signed agreement expressly conflicts with these general Terms, the more specific term controls for that product or service.
If a provision is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience and do not change the meaning of these Terms. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written permission; we may assign our rights as part of a merger, reorganization, sale, or transfer of the business, subject to applicable law.
29. How can customers contact The Maker's Map?
Brief takeaway: Customers may contact The Maker's Map by email or mail using the listed Rincon, Georgia contact information.
