Last Updated: August 9, 2026
Welcome to MARS PALACE. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the MARS PALACE website and your purchase of products through our online shop.
By accessing or using the MARS PALACE website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms & Conditions. By placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, as well as the MARS PALACE Privacy Policy and Return & Exchange Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms & Conditions, please do not use the website or place an order.
About MARS PALACE
MARS PALACE is an Ohio-based, woman-owned and operated business offering thoughtfully designed apparel and handmade goods inspired by traditional craftsmanship, nostalgic beauty, historical techniques, and enduring stories.
Many MARS PALACE garments are produced in small batches using traditional hand-block printing techniques. Because of the handmade nature of our products, subtle variations in print placement, color, texture, pattern, and other details may occur from one piece to another.
These variations are natural characteristics of the craftsmanship and contribute to the individuality of each piece.
Products & Availability
MARS PALACE products are often produced in small quantities, and some fabrics, designs, and collections may be available only for a limited time.
Product availability is subject to change without notice. Adding an item to your shopping cart does not guarantee that the item will remain available until checkout is completed.
We reserve the right to limit quantities, discontinue products, or modify product offerings at any time.
Product Descriptions
We make reasonable efforts to accurately represent the colors, materials, measurements, construction, and other characteristics of our products.
Because colors may appear differently depending on your device, monitor, or screen settings, we cannot guarantee that the color displayed on your screen will exactly match the physical product.
Measurements may vary slightly, particularly with handmade garments and textiles.
Small variations inherent to traditional hand-block printing and other handmade processes are not considered defects.
Orders & Order Acceptance
When you place an order through the MARS PALACE website, you are submitting a request to purchase the selected products.
After your order is submitted, you will receive an order confirmation. This confirmation acknowledges that we have received your order; it does not necessarily mean that your order has been finally accepted.
MARS PALACE reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order when reasonably necessary, including in circumstances involving:
-
An item becoming unavailable
-
An apparent pricing, product, or listing error
-
Suspected fraudulent or unauthorized activity
-
An inability to process or authorize payment
-
An incorrect or incomplete shipping address
-
Circumstances that prevent us from fulfilling the order
If MARS PALACE cancels an order after payment has been received, we will issue a refund for the amount paid for the canceled order.
Pricing
All prices displayed on the MARS PALACE website are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices may be changed at any time. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been accepted.
Although we make every effort to ensure that product information and prices are accurate, occasional typographical, pricing, or listing errors may occur.
If an order has been placed at an incorrect price due to an obvious error, MARS PALACE may contact you regarding the error and may cancel the affected order and issue a full refund.
Payment
MARS PALACE offers payment methods made available through our website, which may include credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and other payment services.
By submitting an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method selected.
Payment must be successfully authorized before an order can be processed and shipped.
Payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers. Your use of those services may also be subject to the provider's own terms and privacy policies.
Shipping
MARS PALACE ships orders to destinations made available at checkout.
Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. MARS PALACE is not responsible for delays, failed deliveries, or additional shipping charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer.
Once an order has been shipped, delivery times may vary depending on the destination, shipping carrier, customs processing, weather, and other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Shipping estimates are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates unless expressly stated otherwise.
International Orders
International customers may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.
These charges are determined by the destination country and are separate from the product price and shipping charges paid to MARS PALACE.
Customers are responsible for understanding and paying any applicable customs, duties, taxes, or import charges.
MARS PALACE cannot guarantee how a destination country's customs authority will classify or assess an order.
Returns & Exchanges
Returns and exchanges are governed by the MARS PALACE Return & Exchange Policy, which forms part of these Terms & Conditions.
Customers are encouraged to review the Return & Exchange Policy before placing an order.
Handmade Products & Traditional Craftsmanship
MARS PALACE values the human hand and the traditional techniques behind our products.
Hand-block printed textiles may contain subtle variations in print alignment, color, texture, pattern, or application. Handmade items may likewise contain small variations that distinguish one piece from another.
These characteristics are inherent to the process of making by hand and are not, by themselves, considered defects.
We believe these details are part of the beauty, character, and individuality of handmade work.
