Calm commerce
The Calm Harbor Standard.
The way we sell is part of what we make. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to, written down so you can hold us to them too.
-
1
Show one honest price. No strikethrough theatre, no perpetual sales.
-
2
Tell you the real date your order will arrive — and say so before you pay.
-
3
Let you take your time. Your cart keeps. No countdown clocks, ever.
-
4
Use real stock language. "Made when you order" — never "Only 2 left!"
-
5
Ask for your email once, politely, and take no for an answer.
-
6
Keep motion gentle, and give you a way to reduce it.
-
7
Publish where the 1% goes — dated, in dollars — once we've sent it.
-
8
Design the quiet moments too. Our empty cart, our 404 and our order emails speak like we do.
-
9
Never use your mental health as an urgency tactic.
-
10
Answer with real humans.
If we ever break one of these, tell us. The list is only worth something if it is enforceable.
— Aaron "Chuck" Fulmer
