While Lady Maven would appreciate any contribution you choose to make, the decision is entirely yours and does not affect your relationship to the site in any way.  Participation or not participating does not influence the odds of winning any gift or prize that is intended as a random selection.  

Note that a donation is like any other product or service, which may have giveaway entries associated with it.  If so, a donation will award the specified number of entries into the giveaway as would the purchase of any product. 

One additional way you may help is by spreading the word about charitable activities.

On Adult oriented sites, such as porn websites, platforms or through agreements with affiliates, we may promote or advertise products intended for individuals of legal age.  E.g. we have an affliate agreement with an OnlyFans performer to market on their site.  What we provide or allow that performer to use about our site would be intended for their adult subscribers.

What does the Lady Maven site offer that makes it different?

Lady Maven is delighted to have visitors and members on our website.  To enhance the experience, we may have incorporated hidden offers, rewards, or other items which, when found, will be unexpected and hopefully offer the user a more entertaining visit to the Maison du Maven website.

Examples of such fun things might be:

hidden images, easter eggs, riddles, popups based on user behaviour or other marketing strategies

IMPT:  Note that availability of prizes or gifts to be given to the user is conditional upon the supply available.  The website will provide appropriate messaging if a prize or gift is no longer available. 

What Happens If I Find A Prize But It Is No Longer Available?

In the event that an easter prize or other such gift is no longer available for whatever reason, the product /prize/gift may show a message such, as "Sold Out".  Unfortunately, that prize is no longer available. 

Prizes are always of limited quantities and they are available on a first come first served basis.  We indicate to the user in the "you have won a prize" process that the winning of a prize is subject to supplies or quantities avaiable and while they last.

Lady Maven is under no obligation to award the prize if such a condition occurs.  The user may contact Lady Maven via the Contact Form and notify us that this has occurred.  Please note that at our sole discretion we may, although there is no obligation or commitment by Lady Maven to do so, substitute a prize of similar value or award credit or provide future discount.  

What size information does the Lady Maven site provide?

On the detail information page for each product, we have included any size information that is available to us as provided by our suppliers.   In some cases this will be just written text such as:  Small is size 6 - 8,  Length = X,  Width = Y and so forth.  

In other cases we may provide a sizing table at the bottom of the detailed product information.  

We advise you to review whatever sizing information is available PRIOR to making a purchase for which size is a critical consideration.  Unfortunately, we are bound by laws which do not allow for returns for certain items.  Please take special caution when ordering products which are not returnable.

 and trusted partners.

How Does Lady Maven Indicate It Is A Secure Site

We post a Secure Checkout icon on the Cart page. 

Why Do Some Tools Indicate That MaisonduMaven.com Has A Medium Trustworthy Score?

There are several factors contributing to our trustworthiness score not reaching 100%. The primary reasons are as follows:

Key Factors

  • Limited track record: We are a young website without an established history of performance.
  • Low traffic volume: As a new site, we do not yet have a large volume of traffic, which is a key input for many industry trust assessments.
  • Limited order/shipping history: Our current order volume and shipping records are not yet sufficient to establish a longstanding reputation as a trusted sales partner.
  • Pending industry certifications: Some accreditations require extensive time, effort, and expense. For example, the BBB accreditation process is in consideration but has not been completed yet.
  • Money-back guarantee: We have not yet implemented a money-back guarantee. This remains a long-term objective for our growing business and will be introduced as we expand our sales volume.
  • Third-party reviews: We do not yet support an independent third-party review process. While we operate an internal review system, external evaluators expect impartiality. Establishing a third-party review mechanism is a goal we are actively pursuing as we work through the required steps.

Important Considerations

  • Internal review transparency: An internal review system allows the site owner to select, and potentially edit or remove, customer reviews. We recognize this may be less transparent than a third-party, independent review process.
  • Future improvements: We are committed to increasing transparency and trust over time by pursuing independent reviews, expanding our traffic and order history, and securing relevant certifications.

Overall Webshop Assessment

The Tranco ranking of this website is low. For a smaller or starting website a low ranking can be considered normal.
