Terms & Conditions

  1. Business Identity & Scope

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Gift Bubbles, an online commercial business legally registered and operated from Athens, Greece. By browsing, accessing, or purchasing from our platform, you unconditionally agree to comply with and be bound by these legal rules. Our inventory consists of a curated mixture of commercially sourced items, ready-made party favours and highly specialised, handcrafted artisan treasures.

  1. Nature of Inventory: Handcrafted vs. Commercially Sourced

Gift Bubbles clearly distinguishes its product offerings to manage customer expectations transparently:

  • Commercially Sourced & Ready-Made Items: Certain party favours, gifts, and treasures available in our catalogue are pre-manufactured, bought or curated from external suppliers. These items conform to uniform technical and aesthetic specifications.
  • Handcrafted & Special Treasures: Select designated premium items are meticulously handcrafted by us using bespoke artistic techniques (including plaster-casting, clay-casting and découpage). Customers explicitly acknowledge that minor variations in design, dimension, colour hue, texture and finish are organic characteristics of artisanal craftsmanship. These unique variances are features of artistic value, not faults or defects, and do not qualify the product as ‘damaged’ or ‘faulty’.
  1. Production, Drying and Processing Timelines

Because our special handcrafted treasures require specific physical creation phases, processing times vary dynamically depending on order volume and the organic requirements of the materials:

  • Standard Processing Window: Regular orders containing handcrafted goods typically ship within 7 to 10 business days, unless the item is already made and available for immediate dispatch as a listing on the e-shop. This timeline accounts directly for the mandatory drying and curation cycles required by specific media, such as plaster or clay work and multi-layered découpage application.
  • Peak Holiday Processing Window for handcrafted goods: During high-demand seasonal periods (including, but not limited to, the Christmas and Easter shopping seasons), the creation and dispatch window might scale up to 10 to 13 business days.
  • Ready-made or commercially sourced orders may be dispatched sooner at our absolute discretion subject to inventory availability.
  1. Event Planning & Third-Party Courier Disclaimers

Party favours and themed treasures are inherently tied to rigid event deadlines. The customer bears sole and absolute responsibility for placing orders well in advance of their scheduled social events to comfortably accommodate production and transit variables. Gift Bubbles utilises reliable independent postal and courier networks to execute deliveries; however, we strictly limit our liability and state that we cannot be held responsible or legally liable for any logistical delays, disruptions, or delivery failures directly caused by third-party shipping carriers.

  1. Product Care and Material Disclaimer

5.1 Delicate Mediums: Our specialised handcrafted treasures include items made from delicate mediums such as plaster-casting, clay-casting and découpage. These pieces are intended for decorative indoor use only unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product description.

5.2 Care Instructions: To preserve the longevity, structural integrity and colour of your items, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Avoid Water and Moisture: Plaster-casting and clay-casting materials are porous and water-soluble. Do not submerge these items in water, wash them, or expose them to high-humidity environments. Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat: Prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight or intense heat sources can cause materials to crack, wrap, fade or discolour over time.
  • Handle with Care: These items are fragile and may chip, shatter or break if dropped, knocked or mishandled.

5.3 Limitation of Liability: Gift Bubbles is not responsible or liable for any damage, deterioration, fading or breakage that occurs after the item has been successfully delivered and accepted. Post-purchase wear and tear or damage caused by a failure to follow these care instructions, does not qualify for a refund, return or replacement.
