Crafted Or Artistic Work

Our business is to present a selection of crafters, artisans and artists whose craft or art items we regard as worthly of calling a hand crafted creation of an item which indicates that the creator of the item has shown originality, function and was directly involved in the production or creation of the craft item.  Items made in mass production are not regarded as crafted items nor are items made in foreign countries and sold as crafted items made by the person selling them.

Involvement With Crafters

Our involvement with the crafters who are listed on this web site is simply a management function, with a group of pre selected and approved crafters serving as our jury for selecting and voting on whether or not certain applicants may be listed on this web site. The jury of 3 crafters will not be named, but new members will be selected each year by NetVision Technologies.

Accepted Responsibilities

The limits of our accepted responsibilities for this web site concerns merely the management, selecting the jury for the selection process and carrying out the web site maintennace for Best Maine Crafters.  We do not accept any responsibility for transactions you may have with any of the crafters, but we will attempt to help you if any significant problems arise.

Acceptance Policy

Acceptance of a listing depends on an evaluation of the content and the presentation of the content on the crafter's web site.  The items or creations made by the crafter must be regarded as crafted or artistic work (see above).

We screen each crafter's or artist's web site in much the same manner as juried craft or art shows screen their applicants.  We absolutely do not accept pornographic material, hate material or any material that we believe to be offensive to the extent that it might prohibit a "PG" audience from feeling comforatable viewing items created by the crafters, artists and artisans listed on this web site.  We reserve the right to determine which craft items and crafters may or may not be listed on this web site.

Although we screen the crafters and artists that we list on this web site, concerns or questions regarding any item purchased from any particular crafter or artist must be directed to the crafter in question.  If you do have a significant problem with any of our crafters, you may register a complaint with us and we will attempt to help you contact the crafter to resolve the issue.  If we feel that your complaint is legitmate and significant, and not resolved adequately by the crafter or artist, we will request that the crafter or artist withdraw their listing from our web site.
