The Website introduces the Shards of Clarity brand and its First Edition collection, shares design and campaign updates, progressively reveals products, and allows visitors to subscribe for news about the planned Kickstarter campaign.

The Website is currently a brand and prelaunch experience. It does not currently process purchases, pledges, or payments. If we later introduce direct sales, separate terms of sale will be provided before a customer places an order.

The Website may link to a Shards of Clarity project page hosted by Kickstarter. Any pledge or payment made through Kickstarter is processed on that platform and is also subject to Kickstarter's terms and policies. The campaign page, reward description, delivery estimate, and campaign updates will govern reward-specific details.

Campaign dates, reward availability, specifications, and delivery estimates may change before or during the campaign. Nothing on the Website guarantees that a campaign will launch on a particular date, reach its funding goal, or make every displayed concept available as a reward.

Visitors may choose to subscribe to First Edition news, product reveals, launch updates, and marketing emails. Subscription is voluntary. When you submit your email, you are added to the list immediately.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us. Our collection and use of personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy. The Website does not require visitors to create an account.

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. If you are under the age required to provide valid consent in your country, a parent or legal guardian must approve your use of any feature that involves the submission of personal data. In the Netherlands, children under 16 cannot independently provide valid consent for this processing.

We aim to present the brand, products, materials, packaging, and campaign accurately. However, prelaunch content may include sketches, prototypes, computer-generated renderings, close-up details, packaging concepts, or AI-assisted presentation materials. Colours, scale, surface finish, packaging, and other details may appear differently depending on the display, lighting, production development, or manufacturing requirements.

AI-assisted presentation materials are used to communicate the concept and campaign story. They do not replace the written description of the physical reward. For any Kickstarter reward, the specifications stated on the live campaign page will control.

The Website and its contents, including the Shards of Clarity name, branding, pendant designs, photographs, videos, graphics, text, software, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Shards of Clarity B.V. and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view and share links to the Website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, scrape, or commercially exploit Website content without our prior written permission. You may link to the Website in a fair and lawful manner that does not suggest an unauthorised association or endorsement.

If you voluntarily send us feedback, answers, ideas, images, or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it does not violate any law or third-party right. You retain ownership of your material.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the material only as reasonably necessary to respond to you, operate or improve the Website, develop the campaign, or use feedback you have expressly allowed us to publish. Personal data remains subject to our Privacy Policy.

You must not use the Website unlawfully or in a way that harms Shards of Clarity, other users, or third parties. In particular, you must not:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, servers, systems, or data;
• introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks, or excessive traffic;
• scrape, harvest, or systematically extract Website content or personal data;
• reverse engineer or interfere with Website software or security;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent an affiliation; or
• upload or transmit unlawful, misleading, infringing, abusive, or harmful material.

The Website may use or link to third-party services, including email subscription, analytics, social media, and crowdfunding providers. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the independent content, availability, security, or practices of third-party services, although this does not limit any responsibility we cannot lawfully exclude.

We may update, suspend, withdraw, or change all or part of the Website for operational, security, legal, or commercial reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may also correct inaccuracies and update product, campaign, or company information when necessary.

The Website is provided on an as-available basis. We take reasonable care with its content, but general brand and prelaunch information may change and should not be treated as professional, financial, investment, or legal advice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not give additional warranties about the Website's continuous availability, freedom from errors, or suitability for a particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or other rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Subject to the paragraph above, Shards of Clarity B.V. is responsible only for loss that is a foreseeable result of our material breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for indirect loss, business loss suffered by a consumer, third-party service failures, or events beyond our reasonable control. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

We may restrict or block access to the Website where reasonably necessary to protect the Website, users, systems, intellectual property, or legal rights, or where these Terms have been materially breached.

These Terms are governed by Dutch law. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections available under the law of your country of residence.

We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve any concern. Disputes may be brought before the competent courts of the Netherlands, except where mandatory law gives a consumer the right to bring or defend proceedings in another competent court, including a court in the consumer's country of residence.

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Website, campaign, company, services, or applicable law. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be highlighted on the Website where reasonably appropriate. Continued use after an update means the revised Terms apply from their stated effective date.

If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. A delay or failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

Questions about these Terms may be sent to hello@shardsofclarity.com or by post to Shards of Clarity B.V., Terschellingsestraat 35 B, 3083 PK Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Current version: these Terms were last updated on 8 August 2026.
