3. Products: Electronics & Hand‑Built Tolerances

3.1 Small‑Batch Craft. Many Products are hand‑assembled or printed in small batches. Minor cosmetic variations, color differences between batches/screens, and normal manufacturing tolerances are expected and not defects.

3.4 Not for Critical Use. Products are not designed for life‑support, safety‑critical, or mission‑critical applications.

4.1 Offer & Acceptance. Your order is an offer to purchase. We may accept or reject any order. Order confirmation emails acknowledge receipt; acceptance occurs when we dispatch the Product.

4.2 Preorders/Backorders. Preorders and backorders are charged at checkout. Estimated ship dates are good‑faith estimates, not guarantees, and may change due to supply conditions.
