DISCLAIMER: CANDLE PRODUCTS / INTERIOR AROMATICS
Warning: Use and misuse of any candle product including the Bella Musing candle line involves serious risks including injury, disability and death. Purchasers assume all risks. Please be sure to follow the Candle Care guidelines for proper, safe and responsible usage.
Bella Musing assumes no responsibility for any damage that may occur due to misuse of candles, and candle burning.
Due to the handmade nature of our candle line / interior aromatics, we unfortunately cannot offer any returns, refunds, or exchanges.
Every single candle item is handmade, so the scent, intensity of aroma and final color may differ slightly.
The limited edition earthenware ceramic vessels are fired at comparatively low temperatures. This means that the clay particles are only partly fused together with spaces (pores) between them. Therefore, earthenware pieces are prone to staining quite easily and may develop streaks inside the vessel.
Change-of-mind returns are not accepted on any products purchased, so we do encourage you to choose wisely before finalising your purchase.
