****Personalized, Engraved, and Custom Orders are Non refundable. Shipping Charges are Non refundable.

We DO NOT guarantee the time that the contents you fill your hourglass with will run for any certain amount of time unlesss you purchase a timed model.

(As you would suspect, sand particles vary widely from location to location. This makes the amount of time your Heirloom Hourglass runs for completely unique to the individual user.

Time Defined models can be callibrated to run a certain amount of time using hourglass ballotini, but are not compatible with beach sand or craft sand.)

We DO NOT guarantee that the contents you fill your hourglass will flow through the center hole of your hourglass.

 (We cannot control what our customers fill their hourglass with. If you also purchase sand from us and keep it free of humidity, dampness, water, static, large particles too large for the center hole, etc., it will work fine in the hourglass. 

If the contents added to your hourglass contain low quality craft sand, or are exposed to water, humidity, static, particles too large to flow through the center hole, etc., they may not flow through well.) 

Please Note The Following:

If the contents are too large and not properly screened, they may not flow through properly. 

If the contents contain low quality craft sand, water, humidity, static, etc., they may not flow through well. These are issues beyond our control.

Your Heirloom Hourglass is a handcrafted work of art, and is priced economically considering the amount of work and care that goes into each hourglass.

Please be sure your sand is of good quality, is sreened properly with the screener included in each order, is free of humidity, dampness, water, static, etc. before filling your hourglass.

We DO NOT guarantee damage cause to the hourglass after use. Although each hourglass is handcrafted to be of extremely high quality, it is still made of glass and therefore fragile.

Please be careful when handling it, place it in a safe area to display it, do not overtighten the closures, and be sure to not apply any force to the glass. If the contents you fill it with do not flow the center hole, do not shake, tap, or knock on the glass. This may cause breakage if excessive force is used. Gently turn the hourglass over to allow the contents to dislodge from the center hole. Then remove the contents and screen them if you have not done so, or rescreen them if there is a possibility that they were contaminated after being screened previously. Be sure the contents are free of humidity, dampness, water, static, large particles too large for the center hole, etc. before refilling your hourglass. If you do ever acccidentaly damage your hourglass, we do offer repair service.

Please email us at Hello@HeirloomHourglass.com for instructions if this ever happens.
