Artisanal Heritage Statement

By purchasing from Soham Crafts, you support traditional rural artisans in Bengal. You acknowledge that hand-hammered singing bowls and Dokra castings naturally possess organic variations that enhance their acoustic beauty and individuality.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Soham Crafts. By accessing our website, browsing our catalog, or purchasing any handcrafted singing bowls, Dokra bronze sculptures, or Bankura terracotta artifacts, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website or purchase our products. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the website following changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Artisan Craftsmanship & Natural Variations

Every product sold by Soham Crafts is genuinely handmade by rural master artisans in West Bengal, India, using centuries-old traditional techniques including lost-wax Dokra casting, bell-metal hammering, and wood-fired kiln terracotta firing.

Due to the nature of authentic handmade crafts, slight variations in dimensions, weight (±5%), surface textures, organic patina shades, and hammer markings are expected and celebrated. These variations are not defects, but the indelible hallmarks of handcrafted heritage.

Acoustic singing bowl frequencies and tonal overtones are tested individually; however, room acoustics, striker material, and playing technique can slightly influence perceived sound resonances.

3. Pricing, Currencies & Payment Processing

All prices on the website are displayed in Indian Rupees (INR) or your localized currency equivalent where available. Applicable goods and service taxes (GST) are calculated at checkout.

We accept major credit/debit cards, UPI, Net Banking, and secure international gateways. We do not store your complete payment credentials on our servers; all transactions are processed via PCI-DSS certified third-party payment gateways.

In the rare event of a typographical pricing error on our website, Soham Crafts reserves the right to cancel or refuse orders placed at the incorrect price.

4. Custom Tuning & Made-to-Order Commissions

Orders for custom frequency-tuned singing bowls (e.g., 432 Hz, specific chakra fundamentals) or customized Dokra statues require dedicated artisan forging and tuning time (typically 3–7 business days prior to dispatch).

Because custom items are forged to individual client specifications, custom orders cannot be cancelled once forging has commenced and are non-refundable unless there is a verifiable manufacturing defect.

5. Intellectual Property & Artisan Rights

All content on this website—including brand names, photography, product descriptions, audio recordings of singing bowls, and graphics—is the intellectual property of Soham Crafts and protected by copyright laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or exploit any content from this website for commercial purposes without prior written consent from Soham Crafts.

6. User Account Responsibilities

If you create an account on our platform, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and restricting unauthorized access to your devices.

You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. Soham Crafts reserves the right to terminate accounts or cancel orders at our sole discretion for fraudulent or abusive behavior.

7. Limitation of Liability & Warranties

Our singing bowls and craft items are provided with a 1-year warranty against structural alloy defects and authentic material integrity under normal, recommended care.

Soham Crafts shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from improper handling, dropped items, chemical exposure, or unauthorized modifications.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or transactions conducted through Soham Crafts shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in West Bengal, India.
