1. Introduction

Many Blessings Pty Ltd (ABN 55 684 307 480, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an Australian-registered company facilitating the sale and cultural exchange of sacred Shipibo tapestries handmade by artisans in the Amazon Jungle. By purchasing from our online store or participating in the “Honour the Ancestors” gift exchange, you (“the purchaser” or “participant”) agree to these Terms & Conditions.

2. Artisan Transactions & Pricing

• Each tapestry is crafted by Shipibo families and shipped directly from the Amazon Jungle. It was made approximately 17 km from the town of Contamana, Peru. Here is a Google Earth location for their community: Q2MX+8HR Aguas Calientes Contamana, Carr. Aguas Calientes, Contamana 16480, Peru (Please copy and paste these Google Earth coordinates to view where your tapestry was made).
• For direct purchases, the listed price includes:
  • Labour cost (paid in full to the artisan’s family within 48 business hours, with transfer confirmation provided to the purchaser).
  • 10 % business fee (covers operational costs).
  • 30 % business tax.
  • Shipping fee (calculated at checkout, paid by the purchaser).
• Purchasers will receive confirmation showing the full labour cost sent to the artisan’s family. If not received within 48 hours, contact contact@manyblessings.com.au.

3. “Honouring the Ancestors” Gift Exchange

• Participants may send a gift of money directly to the artisan’s family (via emailed PayPal details) to honour their Ancestors.
• In sacred reciprocity, the family will:
  • Ship your selected tapestry to you as a gift.
  • Cover all shipping costs as part of their reciprocity.
• This is a cultural exchange, not a commercial transaction. When you honour their ancestors, you send funds directly to them. The tapestry is removed from the website and shipped once you initiate the ceremony. Many Blessings is not part of this private arrangement and receives no income or incentive. All our work and expenses are our gift to you. If you have any concerns, please contact us at contact@manyblessings.com.au.
