Legal Notice
Cursed Covenant
Warranties, liability, who owns what, and not setting your house on fire.
Last Updated 02 June 2026
This is the armor. Every shop needs one page of legal boilerplate that keeps a one-person operation from being sued into the void over a $20 coaster — this is mine. I've kept it short and in plain English, because I'd rather you actually read it than glaze over a wall of "heretofore."
The short version: my stuff is made by hand and sold as-is, you use it sensibly, and if something goes sideways my responsibility is capped at what you paid. I'm a real person being fair — not a corporation hiding behind fine print.
None of this is me expecting the worst of you. It's just the line that lets me keep making weird, beautiful things without one freak accident or one bad-faith claim ending the whole shop.

What this covers
This Cursed Covenant sets out the warranty disclaimers, liability limits, intellectual-property terms, and product-safety notices for everything sold by Wicked Wicks and More. It works alongside my other policies: the rules for shopping and conduct live in Malevolent Mandates (Terms), how returns and defects are handled lives in Remorseful Remedies (Returns), and your data is covered in the Private Pact (Privacy). Where those overlap, each policy governs its own subject.
Handmade, by hand
Everything here is made and packed by one person in small batches. That means small variations — slight differences in color, finish, alignment, or texture — are normal and are part of what you're buying, not flaws. Natural handmade variation is not a defect. If something arrives genuinely defective or damaged, that's a different thing and it's covered in Remorseful Remedies.
Product safety & use
My products are decorative and household goods meant to be used sensibly and for their intended purpose. You're responsible for using them safely. In particular:
- Candles involve an open flame. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it away from anything flammable, children, and pets, and follow any burn instructions provided. Burning a candle is done at your own risk.
- Ceramics, coasters, and tile are durable but breakable, and can have firm edges. Follow the care notes on each product listing — they tell you what each piece can and can't handle.
- Small items like keychains and magnets are not toys and can pose a choking or ingestion hazard; keep them away from small children and pets.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wicked Wicks and More is not liable for injury, loss, or damage resulting from misuse, careless use, or use of a product other than as intended. Product-specific care instructions live on each product's own listing, so they stay accurate as products change.
Warranties
Products are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, I disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. I don't warrant that any product will meet a specific expectation beyond what's described on its listing. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this may not apply to you — in which case those warranties are limited to the shortest period and narrowest scope the law allows.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wicked Wicks and More is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, data, or goodwill — arising from your purchase or use of any product or this website. My total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you actually paid for the item the claim is about. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they apply to you only to the extent permitted by law. This doesn't limit any liability that legally can't be limited.
Intellectual property
All designs, graphics, artwork, text, and brand assets associated with Wicked Wicks and More are my original work and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property law. You're buying a product for personal use and gifting — not a license to the design. You may not reproduce, copy, resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit any design or brand asset without my written permission.
Your submitted content
If you send a photo or other content for a custom order, you keep ownership of it — I don't claim it. By submitting it, you confirm you have the rights to use it and you grant me a limited license to use it solely to make your order. The full content rules, your representations, and what's prohibited are in Malevolent Mandates; how I store and delete your photos is in the Private Pact.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to cover and hold me harmless from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your misuse of a product or from content you submitted for a custom order — for example, a claim that your submitted content infringed someone's rights or was used without consent.
Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them or from a purchase are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the courts located in the District of Columbia are the proper venue for any dispute, to the extent permitted by law.
Severability & changes
If any part of this Cursed Covenant is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. I may update this notice from time to time for legal or operational reasons; the "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the latest version, and continued use of the store after changes constitutes acceptance.
