PART I: MASTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SECTION 1: ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By accessing our website, submitting information to our directory, applying to participate in The Valley Holiday Shop, purchasing advertising or media services, purchasing a digital product, or purchasing merchandise through The Valley Holiday Shop, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and all policies incorporated into them.
If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website or purchase our products or services.
Certain purchases or services may also be governed by a separate written agreement, product description, invoice, Vendor Agreement, order confirmation, or posted policy. If a separate written agreement directly conflicts with these Master Terms, the more specific written agreement will control for that transaction.
You must be at least 18 years old to enter into a purchase or service agreement with us. A person under 18 may use the website or make a purchase only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
SECTION 2: MAGAZINE, DIRECTORY, ADVERTISING, AND MEDIA SERVICES
The following terms apply to businesses, advertisers, sponsors, directory participants, and other clients purchasing or participating in our print or digital media services.
Submission Requirements and Deadlines
Advertisers and participants must submit all required artwork, copy, logos, photographs, links, and other materials by the deadline provided for the applicable publication or service.
Failure to provide complete materials by the deadline may result in delayed publication, use of previously submitted materials, or forfeiture of the scheduled placement. Missing a submission deadline does not automatically entitle the advertiser to a refund or credit.
Editorial and Layout Control
Made In The Valley retains final editorial, design, and layout control over its magazines, directories, websites, social-media content, advertising placements, and related publications.
We may edit submitted text for spelling, grammar, length, clarity, formatting, and consistency. We will not intentionally make material changes to the meaning of submitted content without authorization.
Specific placement within a publication is not guaranteed unless the purchased package or written agreement expressly promises a particular placement.
Accuracy of Submitted Content
Advertisers and directory participants are responsible for ensuring that all information, claims, prices, photographs, logos, links, and promotional materials they submit are accurate, lawful, current, and not misleading.
Advertisers must possess the rights and permissions necessary for us to reproduce and publish their submitted materials.
Payment and Pricing
Advertising, sponsorship, directory, design, and promotional-service fees must be paid according to the applicable invoice, product description, or written agreement.
Work may begin immediately after payment or written authorization. Fees become nonrefundable once layout, design, writing, production, printing, scheduling, or digital publication has begun, except as expressly stated in a written agreement or required by law.
No Guarantee of Results
Advertising, directory participation, publication, and promotional services do not guarantee a specific number of views, inquiries, customers, sales, website visits, social-media followers, or other business results.
SECTION 3: THE VALLEY HOLIDAY SHOP
Marketplace Role
The Valley Holiday Shop is a seasonal online marketplace operated by Made In The Valley Media LLC under the Made In The Valley assumed business name.
The Shop provides a platform through which approved independent Idaho businesses, makers, artists, creators, and food Producers may offer eligible products to customers.
The individual Vendor is the seller and remains responsible for the manufacture, description, safety, legality, packaging, fulfillment, and quality of its products. Made In The Valley facilitates product listings, customer checkout, applicable tax collection, customer communication, returns administration, and Vendor payouts.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Made In The Valley does not manufacture, own, or take title to products offered by participating Vendors.
Orders and Payment Processing
All prices are stated in U.S. dollars. Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other disclosed charges will be shown during checkout.
Made In The Valley processes customer payments through third-party payment-service providers. Customers authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the payment method selected during checkout.
An order confirmation acknowledges that an order was received. An order may still be cancelled or refunded if a product is unavailable, incorrectly priced, prohibited, suspected of fraud, or cannot be fulfilled.
If an order or individual item is cancelled, the corresponding amount will be refunded to the original payment method.
Sales Tax
Made In The Valley will collect and remit sales tax and other transaction taxes when required by applicable law.
Sales tax collected from a customer is not part of the Vendor’s product proceeds and will not be included in the Vendor’s payout.
Multiple-Vendor Orders
Products purchased in one checkout may be fulfilled by different Vendors. Items may arrive in separate packages, on different dates, or require separate pickup arrangements.
Shipping charges and return instructions may differ by Vendor or product.
Handmade and Small-Batch Products
Customers acknowledge that handmade, hand-finished, vintage-inspired, artistic, and small-batch products may have reasonable variations in color, texture, size, pattern, finish, or appearance.
These natural variations are not defects when they are consistent with the product description and do not materially affect the product’s intended use.
SECTION 4: PROHIBITED USE
You may not use our website or services to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation;

  • Submit false, fraudulent, misleading, or infringing content;

  • Attempt to access another person’s account or private information;

  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website;

  • Upload malicious code or harmful materials;

  • Scrape, reproduce, or commercially exploit website content without permission;

  • Engage in fraudulent purchases, chargeback abuse, or payment manipulation; or

  • Use customer or Vendor information for an unauthorized purpose.

We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe these terms have been violated.
SECTION 5: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The text, branding, logos, original photographs, articles, publication layouts, graphics, downloadable materials, and other original content used across our platforms are owned by Made In The Valley Media LLC, participating Vendors, or their respective licensors.
These materials are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual-property laws. No ownership rights are transferred merely because content appears on our website or in our publications.
Submitted-Asset License
By submitting logos, product photographs, business descriptions, biographies, advertisements, videos, or other promotional materials, the submitting party confirms that it owns the material or has permission to authorize its use.
The submitting party grants Made In The Valley a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, edit for formatting, publish, display, and distribute those materials as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide the purchased or requested service;

  • Operate the directory or marketplace;

  • Publish print and digital materials;

  • Promote the participating business, publication, or marketplace; and

  • Maintain reasonable business and publication archives.

This license includes publication through our websites, magazines, directories, email communications, social-media accounts, and promotional materials.
SECTION 6: DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Our websites, directory, publications, and marketplace platform are provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or the continued availability of every feature.
Made In The Valley does not independently manufacture Vendor products and cannot guarantee every statement made by a Vendor. Vendors remain responsible for their products, descriptions, claims, warranties, legal compliance, and fulfillment obligations.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Made In The Valley Media LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from use of our platforms, advertising services, publications, or marketplace.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraudulent misrepresentation, or non-waivable consumer rights.
SECTION 7: INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by law, advertisers, directory participants, and Vendors agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Made In The Valley Media LLC and its owners, employees, and representatives from third-party claims arising from:

  • Materials or claims they submitted;

  • Products they manufactured, listed, or fulfilled;

  • Their violation of applicable law;

  • Their infringement of another party’s rights; or

  • Their material breach of an applicable agreement or policy.

This section does not require a party to indemnify Made In The Valley for Made In The Valley’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or unlawful acts.
SECTION 8: GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Unless applicable law requires otherwise, any legal proceeding arising from these terms or services must be brought in a state or federal court serving the Idaho county in which Made In The Valley Media LLC maintains its principal office.
SECTION 9: SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.
SECTION 10: CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these terms to reflect changes in our services, business practices, or legal obligations.
The updated version will be posted with a revised effective date. Material changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Vendors may not:

  • Sell customer information;

  • Share customer information with unauthorized third parties;

  • Use customer information for unrelated purposes; or

  • Retain customer information longer than reasonably necessary, except when recordkeeping is legally required.

Vendors must use reasonable safeguards to protect customer information and promptly report suspected loss, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure.
SECTION 6: COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website use, improve performance, and support advertising.
You may be able to manage nonessential cookies through available website settings or your browser. Disabling essential cookies may prevent portions of the website or checkout from working properly.
SECTION 7: DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including order fulfillment, customer service, financial reporting, tax compliance, dispute resolution, food-transaction recordkeeping, security, and legal obligations.
Some records must be retained for legally required periods. Deletion requests may therefore be limited when information must be maintained for tax, accounting, transaction, food-safety, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.

PART III: RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND CANCELLATIONS
SECTION 1: MARKETPLACE-WIDE RETURN POLICY
The Valley Holiday Shop uses one marketplace-wide return policy. Individual Vendors may not offer a return policy that conflicts with this policy unless the different policy provides greater customer protection and has been approved by Made In The Valley.
Eligible physical merchandise may be returned within 14 calendar days after the carrier marks the order delivered or the customer receives the item through local pickup.
A return must be authorized before the item is mailed or delivered back. Items returned without authorization may experience delays or may be sent back to the customer.
SECTION 2: RETURN ELIGIBILITY
To qualify for a return, an item generally must be:

  • Unused;

  • Unworn, if applicable;

  • In its original condition;

  • Free from damage caused after delivery;

  • In its original packaging when reasonably possible; and

  • Accompanied by the order number or other requested purchase information.

The customer is responsible for packaging a return securely.
SECTION 3: RETURN SHIPPING AND ORIGINAL SHIPPING COSTS
Unless an item arrived damaged, defective, materially misrepresented, or incorrect, the customer is responsible for return-shipping costs.
Original shipping charges are nonrefundable unless the return results from an error by the Vendor or marketplace, a damaged or defective item, or another circumstance requiring reimbursement by law.
Return instructions and the correct return address will be provided after the return request is approved. Because orders may contain products from multiple Vendors, items may need to be returned separately.
SECTION 4: NONRETURNABLE ITEMS
The following items are not eligible for a standard preference-based return:

  • Food, beverages, and other consumable products;

  • Custom, personalized, engraved, or made-to-order products;

  • Digital products and downloadable files;

  • Gift cards;

  • Opened personal-care, bath, body, or hygiene products;

  • Perishable products; and

  • Products clearly marked “final sale” before purchase.

This restriction does not eliminate remedies that may apply when an item is damaged, defective, incorrect, unsafe, materially misrepresented, or otherwise subject to a non-waivable legal right.
SECTION 5: DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE, INCORRECT, OR MISSING ITEMS
Customers should report damaged, defective, or incorrect products within three calendar days after delivery or pickup whenever reasonably possible.
The report should include:

  • Customer name;

  • Order number;

  • Description of the problem;

  • Photograph of the product;

  • Photograph of the shipping package and label, when applicable; and

  • Any other information reasonably needed to evaluate the claim.

Depending on the circumstances, the available resolution may include replacement, repair, refund, or another mutually agreed solution.
Customers should also promptly report packages marked delivered but not received. We may ask the Vendor, carrier, and customer to provide information needed to investigate the delivery.
A delayed report does not waive any right that cannot legally be waived.
SECTION 6: FOOD AND CONSUMABLE CLAIMS
Food and consumable products are final sale and cannot be returned for preference, taste, or change of mind.
If a food product arrives damaged, contaminated, opened, incorrect, unsafe, or materially different from its description, contact us promptly. Do not consume a product that appears unsafe.
We may request photographs, packaging information, lot or production information, and other details needed to investigate the concern.
SECTION 7: ORDER CANCELLATIONS
Customers may request cancellation before an order enters production or fulfillment. Cancellation is not guaranteed once a Vendor has started making, packing, or shipping the product.
Custom, personalized, engraved, and made-to-order products may become noncancelable once production begins.
If a Vendor or Made In The Valley cannot ship within the promised time, the customer will be notified and given any cancellation or delay options required by applicable law.
SECTION 8: REFUNDS
Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method whenever reasonably possible.
Refund timing may depend on the payment provider and financial institution. Shipping costs, processing adjustments, and return-shipping costs will be handled according to this policy and applicable law.
A refund may be delayed until a returned item is received and inspected.
SECTION 9: ADVERTISING AND MEDIA-SERVICE CANCELLATIONS
An advertiser may request cancellation before production begins.
A full refund may be issued if written cancellation is received before any writing, design, layout, scheduling, printing, or digital-publication work has commenced.
Once work has begun, fees are nonrefundable unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
Failure to submit required materials by the deadline does not excuse payment or automatically create a right to a refund or future credit.
If Made In The Valley makes a material publication error that substantially changes an advertisement from the approved or submitted material, the available remedy will be a reasonable correction, replacement placement, reprint when practical, or prorated future advertising credit, as determined by the circumstances and applicable law.
Made In The Valley is not responsible for errors contained in materials supplied or approved by the advertiser.
SECTION 10: VENDOR STALL FEES
The retail return policy does not apply to Vendor applications, onboarding, or seasonal Stall fees.
Vendor Stall payment, cancellation, and refund terms are governed by the Vendor Agreement, the approved Stall description, and the applicable QuickBooks invoice.
SECTION 11: REQUESTING A RETURN OR CANCELLATION
To request a return, report an order problem, or request cancellation, contact:
Email: office@madeinthevalleyidaho.com
Include your name, order number, the Vendor or service involved, and a description of the request.
PART IV: DIGITAL PRODUCT POLICY
SECTION 1: SCOPE
This policy applies to digital magazines, downloadable files, graphics, templates, guides, digital media assets, and other digital products sold directly by Made In The Valley.
A third-party Vendor’s digital product may also be subject to this policy and any additional terms clearly disclosed on the product page before purchase.
SECTION 2: DIGITAL DELIVERY AND REFUNDS
Because digital products provide immediate or near-immediate access, digital-product purchases are generally final once the file or access link has been delivered.
A digital product is considered delivered when:

  • A download link is displayed;

  • A delivery email is sent;

  • The file becomes available through an account or dashboard; or

  • Another disclosed electronic-delivery method is completed.

A refund may still be considered when:

  • The customer was charged more than once for the same purchase;

  • The file is materially different from its description;

  • The file is corrupted and cannot be replaced;

  • Access cannot be provided after reasonable troubleshooting; or

  • A refund is required by applicable law.

SECTION 3: LICENSE AND PERMITTED USE
Unless the product listing provides a different written license, purchasing a digital product grants the purchaser a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license for personal use or internal business use.
The purchaser may not:

  • Resell or redistribute the product;

  • Share download access with unauthorized users;

  • Copy and sell the content as a new product;

  • Sublicense or lease the product;

  • Publish the complete product for public access; or

  • Claim the content or design as the purchaser’s original creation.

A license may be suspended or revoked for a material violation of these terms.
SECTION 4: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Digital products and their original content remain the property of Made In The Valley Media LLC, the applicable Vendor, or their licensors.
Purchasing a product does not transfer copyright, trademark, or other ownership rights.
SECTION 5: TECHNICAL SUPPORT
For a missing email, expired or broken link, corrupted file, or other delivery problem, contact:
Email: office@madeinthevalleyidaho.com
Include your name, order number, product name, and a description or screenshot of the issue.
PART V: SHIPPING, LOCAL PICKUP, FOOD SAFETY, AND VENDOR SUPPLEMENT
SECTION 1: SHIPPING AND FULFILLMENT
The Valley Holiday Shop features products fulfilled by independent Vendors.
Shipping rates and estimated delivery times will be displayed during checkout or in the applicable product listing.
Products from different Vendors may:

  • Ship separately;

  • Arrive on different dates;

  • Have different processing times;

  • Use different carriers; or

  • Require separate return shipments.

Vendors must have a reasonable basis for any stated processing and shipping time.
Unless a product listing clearly states a different processing period, Vendors are expected to ship in-stock products within two business days after receiving the order.
If a Vendor cannot ship within the promised time, the Vendor must immediately notify Made In The Valley so the customer can receive an updated shipment date and any cancellation or refund rights required by law.
SECTION 2: LOCAL PICKUP
Approved products may offer local pickup within Idaho.
Customers selecting local pickup will receive instructions concerning:

  • Pickup location;

  • Available dates and times;

  • Identification or order-confirmation requirements;

  • Contact procedures; and

  • The deadline for collecting the order.

Customers should not arrive at a Vendor’s home, studio, or other private location without a confirmed pickup appointment or instructions.
If an order cannot be collected by the stated deadline, the customer must contact us or the Vendor before the deadline whenever possible.
An unclaimed order is not automatically eligible for a refund. Refund eligibility will depend on the product type, whether it can reasonably be resold, the return policy, and applicable law.
SECTION 3: IDAHO HOMEMADE-FOOD NOTICE
The Valley Holiday Shop accepts only qualifying shelf-stable homemade food products under its current marketplace standards.
Certain homemade food products may be produced in a private home kitchen or another facility operating under the Idaho Direct-to-Consumer Commerce Act rather than a licensed commercial food establishment.
The following notice applies to qualifying homemade food products:
“This product is not subject to government food safety inspection or licensing requirements. It may contain allergens.”
The product listing, label, or accompanying card must also provide:

  • The Producer’s name;

  • The Producer’s contact information; and

  • An ingredient list when the product contains two or more ingredients.

Vendors remain responsible for providing complete and accurate product, ingredient, allergen, and Producer information.
SECTION 4: IDAHO-ONLY HOMEMADE-FOOD TRANSACTIONS
Homemade food transactions conducted under the Idaho Direct-to-Consumer Commerce Act must occur entirely within Idaho.
All production, processing, packaging, sale, and delivery activities for those products must take place within Idaho. Qualifying homemade food products may not be shipped or delivered outside Idaho through The Valley Holiday Shop.
The purchaser must be the informed end consumer and may not purchase the homemade product for resale or redistribution.
SECTION 5: DESIGNATED-AGENT RELATIONSHIP
When The Valley Holiday Shop facilitates a homemade-food sale under the Idaho Direct-to-Consumer Commerce Act, the participating Producer must designate Made In The Valley Media LLC, doing business as Made In The Valley and operating The Valley Holiday Shop, as a designated agent in writing.
Made In The Valley may assist with marketing, listing, payment facilitation, order communication, selling, and delivery coordination. Made In The Valley does not take ownership of the homemade food product.
The Producer remains responsible for producing, packaging, labeling, storing, and fulfilling the food in compliance with applicable law and marketplace requirements.
SECTION 6: ALLERGEN AND FOOD-SAFETY INFORMATION
Homemade foods may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including:

  • Milk;

  • Eggs;

  • Fish;

  • Crustacean shellfish;

  • Tree nuts;

  • Peanuts;

  • Wheat;

  • Soy;

  • Sesame; and

  • Other ingredients capable of causing an allergic reaction.

Customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions should carefully review the product listing and label and contact us before purchasing if additional information is needed.
The absence of an allergen from an ingredient list does not guarantee that cross-contact has not occurred unless the Vendor expressly provides and can support that representation.
Do not purchase or consume a product if the available information is insufficient for your health needs.
Nothing in this notice limits liability for gross negligence, misrepresentation, or another right that cannot legally be waived.
SECTION 7: HOMEMADE-FOOD RECORDKEEPING
Participating Producers and Made In The Valley will maintain the records applicable to their respective roles for at least two years.
Required records may include:

  • Product type and quantity;

  • Date of sale;

  • Date of production;

  • Production location;

  • Where ingredients were produced or acquired; and

  • The designated agent involved in the transaction.

Vendors must provide Made In The Valley with the information reasonably needed to maintain marketplace transaction records and respond to a confirmed foodborne-illness investigation.
SECTION 8: VENDOR OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Vendors are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate product titles, descriptions, prices, photographs, and inventory;

  • Producing and selling only approved products;

  • Maintaining required permits, registrations, insurance, records, and authorizations;

  • Complying with product-safety, labeling, intellectual-property, tax, and consumer-protection laws;

  • Packaging products safely and professionally;

  • Meeting stated fulfillment deadlines;

  • Providing shipment tracking when shipping is offered;

  • Following approved local-pickup procedures;

  • Promptly reporting inventory or fulfillment problems;

  • Cooperating with returns, refunds, disputes, recalls, and safety investigations; and

  • Protecting customer information.

Made In The Valley may suspend or remove a listing or Vendor when reasonably necessary to protect customers, comply with law, investigate a concern, or enforce marketplace standards.
SECTION 9: VENDOR STALL INVOICES
Approved Vendors will receive an invoice for the applicable seasonal Stall fee.
Vendor access, onboarding, and Stall activation may be withheld until the invoice is paid and all required agreements and compliance documents are complete.
Payment and refund terms for the Stall fee are governed by the Vendor Agreement, Stall description, and invoice.
SECTION 10: VENDOR SALES PROCEEDS AND PAYOUTS
Made In The Valley charges participating Vendors no percentage-based sales commission unless a different written agreement is accepted by the Vendor.
Vendor proceeds generally consist of:

  • The product price; and

  • Customer-paid shipping attributable to that Vendor.

The following amounts are excluded or deducted when applicable:

  • Sales tax;

  • Actual third-party payment-processing fees;

  • Refunds;

  • Chargebacks;

  • Returned payments;

  • Customer credits attributable to the Vendor;

  • Shipping adjustments; and

  • Other adjustments authorized by the Vendor Agreement.

Eligible Vendor payouts are scheduled weekly, generally on Friday, through QuickBooks ACH or an approved manual-payment method.
Banking and payment-provider processing times, holidays, unresolved customer disputes, suspected fraud, chargebacks, incomplete fulfillment, or missing Vendor information may delay a payout.
Vendors receiving ACH payments enter their banking information directly into Intuit’s secure system. Made In The Valley does not directly collect or store complete routing and account numbers submitted through that process.
SECTION 11: MAGAZINE AND MEDIA FULFILLMENT
Advertisers must provide materials according to the technical requirements and deadlines in the applicable media kit, invoice, or agreement.
Printed magazines, directories, and guides are distributed through the locations and networks selected by Made In The Valley.
We make reasonable efforts to achieve the stated or estimated distribution plan, but we do not guarantee that every copy will be collected, read, retained, or viewed by a particular audience.
Taxes will be charged on advertising, media, design, or printed-product transactions only when required by applicable law.
