The Exchange Program allows Larnil Art members to trade handmade jewelry, artistic objects, or small crafted items with one another. It is based on trust, mutual respect, and shared artistic values.
A security deposit is a temporary amount of money paid by both members in an exchange. It ensures both sides act responsibly. The deposit is fully refunded after the trade is successfully completed.
The person who adds an item to the exchange chooses the deposit amount. This value is published with the product in the Exchange Catalogue.
