Legal
The terms, stated plainly.
What you agree to when you browse, buy, or sell here — who your contract is with, how prices and orders work, when you can change your mind, and where to go if something goes wrong.
Last updated 22 July 2026
1. Who these terms are between
Clauset (“we”, “us”) operates clauset.shop, a curated index for independent designers and makers in Southeast Asia. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. Business and registration details are published at the bottom of this page.
2. What Clauset is
Clauset is a marketplace, not the maker. Pieces are made, priced, stocked, and shipped by the independent brands listed here. When ordering goes live, your purchase contract is with the brand that made the piece; we provide the platform, take the payment on their behalf, and hold them to the standards in our seller agreement. Where the law makes the platform jointly responsible to consumers, we accept that responsibility.
3. Using the site
- You must be able to enter a binding contract under Thai law to buy through the site. Under-16s should not use it at all.
- Do not misuse the platform: no scraping at a rate that degrades the service, no attempts to break authentication or access other people’s accounts, no uploading of malware, and nothing unlawful under the Computer Crime Act B.E. 2560 or any other applicable law.
- We may suspend access to any account that breaches these terms, and we will tell you why.
4. Accounts
Seller accounts are created by us when a brand is onboarded. Keep your password to yourself, use a strong one, and tell us immediately if you think someone else has it. You are responsible for what happens under your account until you tell us it is compromised.
5. Prices, currency, and tax
Prices are shown inclusive of any tax that applies at the point of sale, as required by the Prices of Goods and Services Act B.E. 2542. Shipping, duties, and import charges are shown separately before you commit. You can switch the display currency; that conversion is indicative only — the amount actually charged is the settlement amount shown at checkout. If a price is obviously wrong (a mispriced listing), we or the brand may cancel the order and refund you in full rather than honour it.
6. Orders and when a contract is formed
Ordering is not live on Clauset yet — the cart and checkout you can see are not taking payment. When it goes live: a listing is an invitation to buy, not an offer. Your order is an offer to buy, and the contract forms when we send you an order confirmation by email. Under the Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544 that electronic confirmation is as binding as a signed one. If a piece turns out to be unavailable after you order, we cancel and refund in full.
7. Your right to cancel
Selling online in Thailand is direct marketing under the Direct Sales and Direct Marketing Act B.E. 2545, which gives you the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven days of receiving the goods, by written notice, without giving a reason. Return the piece unused and in the condition you received it and you get your money back. This right sits on top of — not instead of — your rights when something arrives faulty, damaged, or not as described, which are unaffected by anything on this page.
8. Returns, refunds, and faulty pieces
Beyond the statutory seven days, we give you thirty days from delivery to change your mind about any piece. Made-to-order and personalised pieces may be excluded from change-of-mind returns; where that applies it is stated on the listing before you buy. Nothing is excluded when a piece is faulty, damaged in transit, or not what was described — tell us within a reasonable time and we will arrange a repair, replacement, or refund. Refunds go back to the payment method you used. Full returns detail lives on Returns & Refunds.
9. Delivery
Delivery times shown on a listing are the maker's estimate, not a guarantee. Risk in the goods passes to you when they are delivered to the address you gave. For cross-border orders you may be the importer of record and responsible for duties and taxes in your country; where we can calculate them we show them before you pay.
10. Content on the site
The site design, wordmark, editorial writing, and code are ours. Product photography, brand names, and product copy belong to the brands, who license them to us to display and promote under the seller agreement. Do not reuse any of it commercially without written permission from whoever owns it.
11. What brands are responsible for
Brands warrant to us — under the Seller Agreement — that their listings are accurate, their goods are legal to sell, and they own or are licensed to use every image and word they upload. We review pieces before they go live, but a review is not a guarantee: if something on the site is wrong, misleading, or infringes your rights, tell us and we will act on it.
12. Availability of the service
We aim to keep the site up, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may change or withdraw features. Planned downtime will be announced where we can.
13. Liability
We are responsible for loss that we cause and that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms. We are not responsible for business losses, lost profit, or losses we could not have foreseen. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited — including your rights under the Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522 and the Product Liability Act B.E. 2551.
14. Privacy
How we handle personal data — and your rights over it under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 and, if you are in Europe, the GDPR — is set out in the privacy policy.
15. Complaints and disputes
Come to us first — Contact — and we will try to resolve it directly; that is faster than anything else on this list. If we cannot, consumers in Thailand can raise the matter with the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB, 1166) or bring a consumer case in the Thai courts. These terms are governed by Thai law, and the Thai courts have jurisdiction. Nothing here takes away a mandatory right you have under the consumer law of the country you live in.
16. Changes
We may update these terms — the date at the top changes when we do. Orders already placed are governed by the version in force when you placed them.
Business details: Clauset is in the process of registering its operating entity and its DBD e-commerce registration in Thailand. The registered name, address, and registration numbers will be published here on incorporation, as the Direct Sales and Direct Marketing Act requires. Until then, reach us through the Contact page. This page describes our practice honestly but has not yet been reviewed by Thai counsel.
