Consumer Protection & Responsible Business Conduct
At Cloth by Medina, we believe in more than creating products we embody a philosophy of perfection, integrity, and harmony. Guided by our Vision to elevate ethical craftsmanship, our Mission to deliver sustainable luxury, and our Values of honesty, respect, and excellence, every piece we create reflects the soul of Indonesian artistry and the highest standards of quality (checkpoint 7 for more details).
This document outlines our stance on Consumer Protection and responsible conduct to protect both our valued customers and the integrity of our brand.
1. Perfection & ImPerfection as Our Greater Value
Every Cloth by Medina creation is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. Variations in texture, color, or size are natural hallmarks of artisanal craftsmanship and are celebrated as unique characteristics, not imperfections.
We view these qualities as a testament to the authenticity and greater value of our work, distinguishing each piece as truly one of a kind.
2. Commitment to Consumer Rights
Cloth by Medina fully complies with Indonesian Consumer Protection Law (Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 1999 Tentang Perlindungan Konsumen), ensuring that:
-
Clear and Transparent Policies guide all transactions.
-
Our Return & Exchange Policy and Trading Terms & Conditions are part of every purchase agreement.
-
Customers are encouraged to read and understand these policies prior to completing a purchase, as they outline mutual rights and obligations.
This commitment reflects our dedication to fair, ethical, and responsible business practices.
3. Prohibited Misuse of Consumer Protection Rights
Cloth by Medina stands firmly against the misuse of consumer protection frameworks. The following are strictly prohibited:
-
False or Malicious Claims: Filing baseless consumer complaints or criminal reports with the intent to damage our reputation or gain undue benefit.
-
Abuse of Policies: Repeated, excessive claims not supported by valid evidence.
-
Unfair Competition: Misuse of consumer laws by competitors to obstruct or discredit our business.
In accordance with Article 17, Article 19, and Article 45 UU Perlindungan Konsumen and UU No. 5 Tahun 1999 (Anti-Monopoly & Unfair Competition Law), Cloth by Medina reserves the right to take legal action against such acts.
4. Dispute Resolution Process
Aligned with Article 45 UU Perlindungan Konsumen, Cloth by Medina encourages a harmonious resolution of any concerns:
-
First Contact: Customers are urged to contact our Customer Care Team for swift and fair resolution.
-
Good Faith Principle: Both parties are expected to act in good faith during any resolution process.
-
Legal Channels: Where amicable solutions are not possible, disputes may be referred to Badan Penyelesaian Sengketa Konsumen (BPSK) or addressed through lawful proceedings.
5. Respect for Craftsmanship & Community
Rooted in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, we honor harmony among people, nature, and the divine. We ask that all engagements with Cloth by Medina reflect this ethos of respect toward:
-
The artisans whose hands bring each creation to life.
-
Our staff and partners who embody our shared values.
-
The community and environment that sustain our business.
Unjustified exploitation of consumer protection laws disrupts this balance and will not be tolerated.
6. Acceptance of Terms
By purchasing from or engaging with Cloth by Medina, you acknowledge and accept:
-
These Terms & Conditions
This mutual understanding ensures a seamless and respectful relationship rooted in trust and shared values.
7. Highest Standards of Quality
“highest standards of quality” that also embraces "imperfection as part of the artistic character"
At Cloth by Medina, we define the highest standards of quality not only by technical precision but by the soul and story embedded in every piece. Each creation is the result of masterful hands, honed skills, and a deep respect for Indonesian craftsmanship.
Because our products are handcrafted, slight variations in texture, color, or size are not flaws; they are the signature of authenticity. These natural nuances reflect the individuality of each artisan’s touch and give every piece its own unique character.
We believe this artistic imperfection is a testament to true luxury: a reminder that beauty lies not in mechanical uniformity, but in the human spirit poured into each creation.
This philosophy is central to our commitment to excellence, where perfection is found in the harmony of craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless design.
