We may restrict or terminate access to the website when we reasonably believe these Terms and Conditions have been violated.

3. Product Information

We strive to provide accurate descriptions, pricing, photographs, availability information, and other product details.

However, errors or inaccuracies may occasionally occur. We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, change prices, or cancel an order affected by inaccurate information.

Product photographs are provided for illustrative purposes. Colors, sizes, packaging, and other details may vary slightly from what appears on a device or screen.

4. Orders and Payments

By placing an order, you agree to pay the price displayed at checkout, including any applicable taxes, shipping fees, or other charges disclosed before purchase.

We accept the payment methods displayed on our website.

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We may decline, limit, or cancel an order when reasonably necessary, including because of:

• product unavailability

• payment-processing problems
• shipping restrictions

When an accepted order is canceled by us after payment, the applicable amount will be refunded using the original payment method when reasonably possible.

We aim to process and ship orders promptly. Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier operations, weather, destination, holidays, supply conditions, and other matters beyond our control.

Shipping charges are calculated according to the delivery address, package, and shipping method selected.

To the extent permitted by law, Galveston Island Market is not responsible for shipping delays, loss, or damage caused by a shipping carrier. We will make reasonable efforts to help customers address documented shipping concerns.

To qualify for a return:

• the item must be unused and in its original condition

• the return request must be submitted within the return period

Unless an item was defective, damaged before shipment, or incorrectly fulfilled, the customer is responsible for return-shipping costs.

7. Vendor Applications and Market Participation

Submitting a vendor application, RSVP, payment, or other form does guarantee acceptance, booth availability, or participation in a particular market.

Vendors are responsible for providing accurate information and complying with any additional market rules, deadlines, payment requirements, safety guidelines, setup instructions, and event-specific requirements communicated by Galveston Island Market.

Market dates, hours, booth assignments, setup requirements, and other operational details may change because of weather, safety concerns, venue requirements, availability, or other circumstances.
