Refund policy

This website is operated by ALALUCK LLC (5830 E 2ND ST, STE 7000 #32723, Casper, WY 82609, United States). Throughout the site, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to ALALUCK LLC. Email: hello@alaluck.com.

1. Why all sales are final for change-of-mind

Every piece in the studio is hand-knotted once. There is no second example of the same talisman, and we cannot restock, resell, or transfer a piece between buyers without compromising both the integrity of the edition and the energetic specificity each piece was built for. For these reasons, we do not accept returns for change-of-mind, fit reconsideration, or style preference. We ask buyers to read each product page carefully and contact us with any fit or material questions before purchase.

2. What we do cover — the Artisan Promise (14 days)

While we are firm on the change-of-mind question, we are equally committed to standing behind our craft. If your piece arrives damaged in transit, has a structural or knot fault, or shows a material defect, contact us at hello@alaluck.com within 14 days of the delivery date on your tracking, with photos of the issue.

You do not need to ship the piece back across borders. Our resolution paths:

• Transit damage — we file the carrier claim, you keep the damaged piece, and we offer a remake (7–14 business days bench time) or a full refund (initiated within 5 business days; bank settlement adds 2–5 business days).
• Craftsmanship fault — we make a newly knotted replacement, you keep the original, plus a small gift to honor the inconvenience. Refund alternatives are available on request.
• Response SLA — 48 hours from your email.

3. Lifetime Knot Guarantee — long-term care

Cord wears. Knots loosen. The Lifetime Knot Guarantee covers re-knotting and structural rebuilds for the life of your piece. The first rebuild within 12 months of purchase is complimentary (you cover return shipping both ways). After year one, rebuilds are offered at or near cost. Stones cannot be replaced — every piece is one of one. Full terms at our Returns & Exchanges page.

4. EU & UK buyers — your right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your piece, for any reason. This right is granted under the EU Consumer Rights Directive and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

To exercise it, write to us at hello@alaluck.com within 14 days of delivery. You may use the model withdrawal form below, but you are not required to — any clear statement of your decision to withdraw is enough.

To be eligible for a full refund, the piece must be returned in its original, unworn condition with all packaging. Because each talisman is hand-knotted once, we may reduce your refund to reflect any diminished value if the piece has been handled beyond what is necessary to examine its nature and characteristics. You are responsible for the cost of return shipping; please contact us first and we will share return instructions and the studio address.

Once we receive the piece — or your proof of return — we will refund the full purchase price, including the standard outbound shipping cost, within 14 days. This right of withdrawal is in addition to your statutory rights for faulty or non-conforming goods, the 14-day Artisan Promise, and the Lifetime Knot Guarantee, all of which remain fully protected.

Pieces sized or customised to your specifications are an exception. Where we have adjusted or made a piece at your request — for example, resizing a bracelet to your wrist measurement or knotting a cord to a custom length noted on your order — the right of withdrawal does not apply, as permitted for goods made to a consumer's specifications under EU Consumer Rights Directive Article 16(c) and UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 Regulation 28. These pieces cannot be returned or exchanged for change of mind, fit reconsideration, or style preference. Your statutory rights for faulty or non-conforming goods, the 14-day Artisan Promise, and the Lifetime Knot Guarantee still apply in full.

Outside the EU and UK: because every piece is an edition of one that cannot be restocked or remade, we do not accept returns for change of mind, fit reconsideration, or style preference. Your statutory protection against faulty or non-conforming pieces, the 14-day Artisan Promise, and the Lifetime Knot Guarantee still apply everywhere.

Model withdrawal form — complete and return this only if you wish to withdraw from your purchase.

5. What is not considered a defect

Natural variations in stone color, inclusion patterns, and texture are the marks of nature, not faults. Slight asymmetry in hand-knotting and gradual color evolution in stones like Alchemy Agate are intentional, not defects. The irregularity is the integrity.
