Terms of service

 

Overview

Welcome to HANDMADE WORLD! References to “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to HANDMADE WORLD. HANDMADE WORLD operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services associated with orders, to deliver a curated shopping experience to you (the Customer) (the “Service”). HANDMADE WORLD is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Service to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein (collectively, the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), set forth your rights and obligations when using the Service.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, including disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By accessing, using or interacting with our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use our Service.

Section 1 – Access and Account

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you have reached the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have permitted any minor dependents under your care to use the Service on devices owned, purchased or managed by you.

To use the Service, including browsing our online store or purchasing any products or services offered by us, you may be required to provide certain information such as your email address, billing, payment and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide to our store is accurate, current and complete, and that you hold all rights necessary to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted under your account. You may not assign, sell, transfer or authorize your account to any third party.

Section 2 – Our Products

We have made every reasonable effort to accurately display our products and services within our online store. Please note that due to differences in device type, settings and configurations used to access the store, product colors or appearance may differ from what appears on your screen.

We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations or match the representations displayed on our online store.

All product descriptions are subject to change without prior notice, and we reserve the right of final interpretation. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time, and may limit the quantity of any product offered to any person, region or jurisdiction at our sole discretion.

Section 3 – Orders

When you place an order, you are submitting an offer to purchase. HANDMADE WORLD reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason at our sole discretion. Your order is only confirmed upon acceptance by HANDMADE WORLD. Your order will not be accepted until we receive and process your payment. Please review your order carefully before submission. Once an order is accepted, HANDMADE WORLD may not honor cancellation requests. If we decline, modify or cancel your order, we will attempt to contact you via the email address, billing address and/or phone number provided at checkout.

Returns or exchanges for your purchase are governed solely by our Refund Policy [LINK].

You represent and warrant that your purchase is for your personal or household use only, and not for commercial resale or export.

Section 4 – Pricing and Billing

Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without prior notice. The price applicable to a product or service is the price in effect at the time you place your order and will be stated in your order confirmation email. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, displayed prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling fees, duties or import charges.

Prices published on our online store may differ from prices in physical stores, third-party operated online stores or other retail outlets. We may offer promotional offers from time to time which may affect pricing and are subject to separate terms outside of these Terms. In the event of a conflict between promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms shall prevail.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information when making purchases on our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we may complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.

You represent and warrant that: (1) the credit card information you provide is true, correct and complete; (2) you are duly authorized to use the credit card for the purchase; (3) your credit card issuer will honor the charges incurred by you; and (4) you will pay all charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling fees and all applicable taxes, if any.

Section 5 – Shipping and Delivery

We assume no liability for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing or circumstances beyond our control. Title and risk of loss for products pass to you once we hand over the products to the carrier.

These Terms grant you permission to use the Service for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store or transmit any materials from the Service without our prior written consent. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to grant you any license or rights to any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property belonging to HANDMADE WORLD, Shopify or any third party, except as expressly stated.

All other names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans appearing on the Service are trademarks of their respective owners.

Section 7 – Optional Tools

You may be granted access to third-party customer tools that are made available as part of the Service. We do not monitor, control or intervene in these third-party tools.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available”, without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind, and without endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.

Your use of any optional tools made available through the website is at your own discretion and risk, and you should ensure that you review and agree to the terms provided by the relevant third-party tool provider.

If you leave our Service to access such third-party materials or websites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not liable for any harm or loss incurred by accessing third-party websites, or purchasing or using any products, services, resources or content on third-party websites. Please carefully read and understand the policies and terms of third parties before entering into any transactions. If you have complaints, claims, concerns or questions regarding third-party products and services, you must address them directly to the third party.

Information you submit to the Service may be transferred to Shopify and third parties located outside your country of residence to deliver the Service. Please review our Privacy Policy [LINK] to learn more about how we, Shopify and our partners use your personal information.

You further represent and warrant that: (1) you own or hold all necessary rights to all Feedback; (2) you have disclosed any compensation or rewards associated with submitting Feedback; and (3) your Feedback complies with these Terms.

You agree that your Feedback shall not infringe any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary rights. You also agree that your Feedback shall not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or any computer virus or other malicious code that may in any way affect the operation of the Service or any related website. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you submit and its accuracy. We assume no responsibility and incur no legal obligation for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

Section 14 – Agents

14.1 This Section (“Agent Terms”) applies if you use, permit, enable or cause the deployment of an Agent to access, use or interact with any part of the Service.

14.3 We may restrict Agent access, use and interaction with the Service by technical means or otherwise.

14.4 An Agent must: (1) identify itself as an Agent in all HTTP/HTTPS requests and disclose the Agent name within the request user-agent string by including: “Agent/[Agent Name]”; (2) not conceal or obscure the fact that access, use or interaction originates from an Agent, such as by (a) mimicking human behavior and interaction patterns, or (b) completing or bypassing CAPTCHAs or measures designed to distinguish computers from humans; (3) truthfully answer any questions or prompts intended to determine whether an interaction originates from a human or a computer; (4) not circumvent or otherwise evade any measures designed to prevent, limit, modify or control how Agents access, use or interact with the Service.

We do not warrant, represent or guarantee that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HANDMADE WORLD, our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers and licensors, together with Shopify and its affiliates, shall not be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs or similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or other legal grounds, arising from your use of the Service or any products obtained through the Service, or any other claim related to your use of the Service or products, including but not limited to errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Service or any content (or products) posted, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, but failure to receive timely notice shall not relieve your indemnification obligation unless you suffer material prejudice as a result. We may control the defense and settlement of such claims at your expense, including selection of counsel, and we will not settle any claim imposing non-monetary obligations without your consent (which you may not unreasonably withhold). You shall cooperate in the defense of any indemnifiable claim, including providing relevant documentation.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall still be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
