Terms of service

 Overview

Welcome to The Aethels! “We” and ‘our’ refer to The Aethels. The Aethels operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you (the customer) with a curated shopping experience (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”). The Aethels is powered by Shopify, enabling us to offer you the aforementioned Service.

The specific terms of service below, along with any policies referenced in these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), outline your rights and responsibilities when using the Service.

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

By accessing, interacting with, or using 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 should not use or access our Service.

Section 1 - Access and Account

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you further represent that you consent to us allowing any minor household members to use our Services on devices owned, purchased, or managed by you.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any goods or services offered by us, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our store is accurate, complete, and up-to-date, and that you possess all necessary rights to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and all activities under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign your account to any other person, or license any other person to use it.

Section 2 - Our Products

We have made every effort to accurately present our products and services in our online store. However, please note that due to variations in the type of device you use to access the store, as well as your device settings and configuration, the actual colors or appearance of products may differ from what you see on your screen.

We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations, nor do we guarantee that it will be identical to the description or presentation in our online store.

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

Section 3 - Orders

Your placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. The Aethels reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason at its sole discretion. Your order is not accepted until The Aethels confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submission, as The Aethels may be unable to assist with cancellations once an order is accepted. If we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you via the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of order placement.

Your purchase transaction is subject to returns and exchanges only in accordance with our Refund Policy [link].

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

Section 4 - Pricing and Billing

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

Prices displayed in our online store may differ from those offered in physical stores or online/offline stores operated by third parties. We may occasionally offer promotional offers for services that may affect pricing; such promotions are governed and subject to separate terms of service independent of these Terms. In case of conflict between promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms shall prevail.

You agree to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date purchase, payment, and account information for all transactions made in our store. You agree to promptly update your account information and other details, including your email address, credit card number, and expiration date, so we can complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.

You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card for purchase transactions, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the published price, including shipping and handling fees and all applicable taxes (if any).

Section 5 - Shipping and Delivery

We are not liable for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delivery delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events beyond our control. Ownership and risk of loss transfer to you immediately upon our delivery of the product to the carrier.

Section 6 - Intellectual Property

Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, videos, and audio, as well as the associated design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by The Aethels, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. and foreign patent, copyright, and other intellectual property laws.

This Agreement permits you to use the Services solely for non-commercial, personal purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any materials related to the Services without our prior written consent. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these Terms grants or may be construed as granting you any license or other right to any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of The Aethels, Shopify, or any third party. Unauthorized use of the Services may violate federal and state intellectual property laws. The Aethels reserves all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

The Aethels name, logo, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of The Aethels, its affiliates, or licensors. You may not use such trademarks without The Aethels' prior written permission. The names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans of Shopify are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans appearing in the Services are trademarks of their respective owners.

Section 7 - Optional Tools

As part of the Service, you may be provided access to customer tools offered by third parties, over which we exercise no oversight, control, or involvement.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available,” without any warranty, representation, or condition of any kind, and without any endorsement. We assume no liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.

Your use of optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion. You should ensure you are familiar with and agree to the terms under which the relevant third-party provider offers the tools.

We may also introduce new features (including new tools and resources) through the Service in the future. These new features shall also be considered part of the Service and are subject to these Terms of Service.

Section 8 - Third-Party Links

The Service may contain hyperlinks to materials and websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third-party features). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave our Service to visit these materials or third-party websites, you do so entirely at your own risk.

We assume no liability for any harm or damages resulting from your access to any third-party websites, or from your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content available on or through any third-party websites. Please review the third party's policies and practices carefully to ensure you understand their requirements before engaging in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or issues regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the third party.

Section 9 - Relationship with Shopify

The Aethels is powered by Shopify, enabling us to provide services to you. However, all sales and purchase transactions conducted in our store are completed directly through The Aethels. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not liable for any matters related to sales transactions between you and The Aethels, including any injury, damage, or loss arising from purchased products or services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with The Aethels.

Section 10 - Privacy Policy

All personal information collected through the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed. Certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.

Because the Service is hosted by Shopify, Shopify will collect and process personal information about your visits to and use of the Service in order to provide and improve the Service. Information you submit to the Service will be transferred to and shared with Shopify and third parties who may be located in countries other than your current location in order to provide the Service to you. Please review our Privacy Policy [link] for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.

Section 11 - Feedback

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, comments, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback in any media for any purpose, including commercial purposes. For example, we may exercise our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, enhance, improve, and promote the Service, as well as to perform and exercise our obligations and rights under these Terms of Service.

You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to submit all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or rewards received for submitting Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We have no obligation, now or in the future, to (1) maintain the confidentiality of your feedback; (2) pay compensation for your feedback; or (3) respond to your feedback.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, or remove feedback that we unilaterally deem illegal, offensive, threatening, defamatory, libelous, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party's intellectual property rights or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your feedback will not infringe upon any third party's rights, including copyrights, trademarks, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise illegal, abusive, or obscene content, nor will it include any form of computer virus or other malware that could affect the operation of the Service or any related websites. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties regarding the origin of any feedback. You are solely responsible for any feedback you submit and its accuracy. We assume no responsibility for any feedback posted by you or any third party.

Section 12 - Errors, Inaccuracies, and Omissions

In rare instances, information regarding the Service or within the Service may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions concerning product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping costs, delivery times, and availability.
