Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of this website, operated by Gold Violin Shop, Inc..

This website is information, not a contract

Everything on this site is here to describe what the shop does and help you find us. Nothing on it is a binding quote, an offer, or a promise of a particular price, turnaround time, or result.

Repair work, rentals, sales and appraisals are quoted and agreed with Philip directly, in person or over the phone, once he has seen the instrument. What he tells you there is what governs the work — not what a web page says.

We try to keep it accurate

Hours, availability and what's in stock change. We do our best to keep this site current, but we can't guarantee that every detail is accurate at the moment you read it. Call the shop if something matters to your trip.

The open/closed indicator on this site is a convenience, not a guarantee. It reflects the shop's posted hours and, when available, a status Philip has set himself. Please call before making a long drive.

General advice isn't specific advice

The guidance on this site — about sizing, string changes, whether a repair is worth doing, what a label inside a violin means — is general and written to be useful. It isn't a substitute for having Philip look at your particular instrument, and it isn't a valuation or an appraisal. An appraisal requires seeing the instrument in person.

Content on this site

The text, photographs and design of this site belong to their respective owners and may not be copied or reused without permission.

Customer reviews quoted on this site were written by those customers and published publicly on Google and Yelp. They are quoted as written, shortened in places, and never reworded. They reflect those customers' experiences, not a promise about yours.

Links to other sites

This site links to map services and review platforms. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for what's on them.

Limits

This website is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses arising from using it or relying on it. Nothing here limits any right you have under Texas consumer protection law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

Changes

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted on this page.
