Terms, Conditions & Liability Disclaimer

Last updated: May 2026. By accessing, browsing, or making purchases from Mrs. Huizenga β€” whether through our physical location in Toronto or via our website at mrshuizenga.com β€” you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms outlined on this page. If you do not agree with any portion of this disclaimer, we respectfully ask that you discontinue use of our services immediately.

Product Descriptions & Condition: Every item we sell is vintage, pre-owned, and previously lived in by someone else. That means no two pieces are exactly alike, and natural wear is not only expected β€” it's part of what makes vintage special. We make every effort to photograph each item honestly, describe its condition as accurately as possible, and note any visible flaws, scratches, fading, or imperfections. However, because these are used items with history, there may be minor characteristics that are not fully captured in photographs or described in text. We do not guarantee that items are in pristine, like-new condition. What you receive will match our description to the best of our knowledge, but slight variations in color, texture, and appearance may occur due to lighting conditions during photography, monitor calibration on your end, and the natural aging process of materials.

By purchasing from Mrs. Huizenga, you accept that vintage items carry inherent characteristics of their age, and these characteristics do not constitute defects or reasons for return unless explicitly stated in our return policy.

Authenticity & Dating: Our team uses decades of combined experience to date and authenticate the items we carry. We provide estimated decades of origin based on design elements, construction methods, manufacturer marks, and material analysis. However, all dates and origin attributions are our best professional estimates and should not be treated as certified appraisals or guarantees of authenticity. If you require formal authentication for insurance or resale purposes, we strongly recommend consulting an independent, certified appraiser after purchase. Mrs. Huizenga shall not be held liable for any discrepancies in dating or attribution that may arise from third-party evaluations.

Vinyl Records & Audio Quality: All vinyl records are cleaned, inspected, and graded according to widely recognized industry standards. While we do our best to assess playability and surface condition, vinyl is a delicate medium, and sound quality can be affected by factors beyond our control, including your turntable setup, cartridge quality, and handling practices after delivery. Grades assigned to records represent our subjective assessment and may differ from individual listener expectations. We cannot guarantee the absence of all surface noise, pops, or clicks on used records, as these are often inherent to the format and the pressing.

Furniture & Structural Integrity: Vintage furniture pieces are inspected for general structural soundness before being offered for sale. However, vintage furniture is not designed to meet modern safety or building code standards. Joints, glues, and materials may have degraded over time, and items may require reinforcement, reupholstery, or professional restoration depending on your intended use. Mrs. Huizenga is not responsible for any injury, damage, or structural failure resulting from the use of vintage furniture purchased through our shop. We strongly recommend professional inspection before placing heavy loads on vintage shelving, seating, or storage units.

Vintage Clothing & Wear: All clothing items have been previously worn and washed. Sizing on vintage garments often differs significantly from modern sizing standards. We provide approximate measurements in inches and centimeters where possible, but we cannot guarantee fit. Buyers are responsible for comparing our measurements against their own or consulting a tailor before purchase. Fabrics may have experienced natural fading, thinning, or fiber degradation over time. Some vintage textiles may require specialized cleaning or handling. Mrs. Huizenga is not liable for damage caused by improper cleaning, alteration, or wear of vintage garments.

Shipping & Delivery: We take extraordinary care in packaging every item for transit. Vintage pieces are packed using museum-grade materials, custom-sized boxes, and protective wrapping designed to minimize movement during shipping. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee that items will arrive in the exact same condition they left our shop. Shipping carriers handle packages independently, and delays, rough handling, or environmental factors during transit are beyond our control. Mrs. Huizenga is not liable for shipping delays, lost packages, or damage caused by third-party carriers once the item has been handed over for delivery. We strongly recommend purchasing shipping insurance for high-value orders.

Website Content & Intellectual Property: All text, photographs, product descriptions, blog posts, and visual content on mrshuizenga.com are the intellectual property of Mrs. Huizenga unless otherwise noted. Reproduction, redistribution, or reuse of any content without explicit written permission is strictly prohibited. Product images may be used for personal reference only. External links on our website are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of third-party websites linked from our pages.

Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mrs. Huizenga, its owners, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website, purchase of our products, or interaction with our services. This includes but is not limited to damages related to product condition, shipping issues, sizing discrepancies, authenticity disputes, or use of vintage items after purchase. All purchases are made at the buyer's own risk and discretion.

Changes to This Disclaimer: We reserve the right to update, modify, or revise this disclaimer at any time without prior notice. The most current version will always be available on this page, and the "Last Updated" date will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of our website and services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about any updates.

If you have questions about this disclaimer, our policies, or any specific product before making a purchase, please don't hesitate to reach out through our contact page. We're always happy to clarify anything before you commit.

What People Say

I walked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon just to escape the weather. Three hours later I left with a 1960s lamp, two vinyl records, and the best cup of coffee I've had all week. This place is dangerous in the best way possible.

SARAH M.
Interior Designer, Toronto

Been collecting vintage props for film work for over a decade. Mrs. Huizenga is hands down the best curated shop I've visited in North America. The team actually knows their inventory and can tell you the history behind each piece.

MARCUS T.
Set Designer, Vancouver

Ordered a mid-century side table online and it arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was meticulous. You can tell they treat every order like it's going to their own home. Already planning my next purchase.

JULIA K.
Collector, London UK

My wife and I stopped by during a weekend trip and ended up spending our entire afternoon there. Found a beautiful 1970s leather jacket and a stunning art deco mirror. The vibes in that shop are just different.
