5. Product Information & Descriptions

We make every effort to display our products as accurately as possible. However, colors displayed on your screen may vary depending on your device’s display settings, and we cannot guarantee that your device’s color reproduction exactly matches our products.

All product descriptions, ingredient lists, weights, and measurements are provided in good faith, but minor variations may occur between batches due to the handmade nature of our artisan products. Slight variations in color, texture, and scent are inherent to natural, handcrafted soaps and are not considered defects.

We reserve the right to limit quantities, discontinue products, or modify product formulations without notice. We are not liable for typographical errors or inaccuracies in product descriptions, pricing, or availability.

Ingredient Transparency: Full ingredient lists are provided for all products. It is your responsibility to review all ingredients before purchase or use, particularly if you have known allergies or sensitivities. We strongly recommend performing a patch test before using any new soap or skincare product. Azady Soap is not responsible for allergic reactions or sensitivities resulting from failure to review ingredient information.

6. Payment Terms

All prices on this Site are listed in United States Dollars (USD). Applicable sales taxes will be calculated and displayed at checkout based on your shipping address and local tax requirements.

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)

  • PayPal

  • Shop Pay / Shopify Payments (where available)

  • Other payment methods as displayed at checkout

All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways. We do not store your full payment card information on our servers.

By submitting an order, you authorize us to charge the payment method provided for the full order amount, including applicable taxes and shipping fees. Orders are not confirmed until payment is successfully processed. We reserve the right to cancel any order if payment cannot be verified or is declined.

Fraud Prevention: We reserve the right to cancel and refund orders that appear fraudulent or suspicious, without obligation to provide further explanation.

7. Shipping Policy

We currently ship to addresses within the contiguous United States. International shipping availability and rates may be listed separately at checkout. We are not responsible for delays caused by customs clearance for international orders.

Processing Times: Because each product is handcrafted, please allow 2–5 business days for order processing before shipment. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing the next business day.

Estimated Delivery: Standard shipping typically takes 5–8 business days once your order has shipped. Expedited shipping options, where available, will be displayed at checkout with their associated costs and estimated delivery timeframes.

Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on order weight, dimensions, and destination. Free shipping promotions, when offered, are applied automatically and are subject to minimum order thresholds.

Lost or Damaged Shipments: Once an order is handed off to the carrier, title and risk of loss transfer to you. We are not liable for packages lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. However, we will make reasonable efforts to assist you in filing a claim with the carrier. Please contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date if you believe a package is lost.

If your order arrives visibly damaged, please photograph the damage before opening, retain all packaging materials, and contact us at info@azadysoap.com within 48 hours of delivery.

8. Returns & Refunds

Due to the personal care nature of our products and the handmade artisan process, we are unable to accept returns on opened or used items for health and safety reasons.

Unopened Items: Unopened, undamaged products in their original packaging may be eligible for a return within 14 days of the delivery date, subject to our approval. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 5–7 business days of receiving the returned item in satisfactory condition.
