Terms of service

OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Beautiful Things in Life! The terms "we" and "our" refer to The Beautiful Things in Life. The Beautiful Things in Life operates this store and the website, including the information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, the customer, with a suitable shopping experience (the “Services”). The Beautiful Things in Life is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide you with the Services.

The terms and conditions below, along with any policies contained therein (the “Terms of Service” or the “Terms”), outline your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

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

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

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By accepting these Terms of Service, you declare that you are of legal age in the state or province where you reside, and that you have given us your consent to allow minors associated with you to use the Services on devices you own, have purchased, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing online stores or purchasing products and services we offer, you may need to provide certain information such as your email address and billing, payment, and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have all necessary rights to provide such information.
You are responsible for the activity on your account and for protecting your account credentials. You must not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to others.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We are committed to providing an accurate presentation of our products and services in our online stores. However, the display of product colors and appearance may vary depending on the type of device you use to access the store, as well as its settings and configuration.
We cannot guarantee that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or be identical to what is described or shown in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without notice, and at our discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit the quantities of products offered to any individual, geographic area, or jurisdiction from time to time.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you submit an offer to purchase. The Beautiful Things in Life reserves the right to accept or decline your order at its discretion for any reason. Your order is not confirmed until The Beautiful Things in Life confirms its acceptance. Before we can accept an order, we must first receive and process the payment. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as The Beautiful Things in Life may not be able to accommodate requests to cancel an order once it has been accepted. If an order is declined, modified, or canceled, we will notify you by contacting you via the email, billing address, and/or phone number you provided when placing the order.
Your purchases are eligible for return or exchange only in accordance with our Refund Policy [LINK].
You represent and warrant that you are making purchases for personal or family use, and not for resale or export.

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts, and offers are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the actual price at the time the order is placed, and you can view it in the order confirmation email. Unless otherwise specified, published prices do not include taxes, customs duties, or shipping, handling, and import costs.
Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from those offered in physical or online stores, or in other stores operated by third parties. From time to time, we may offer promotions on the Services that affect prices and are subject to terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms of an offer and these Terms, the terms of the offer will prevail.
For all purchases made in our stores, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information regarding your purchase, payment, and account. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, accurate, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use that credit card for purchases, (iii) the charges to you will be honored by the credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling fees and any other applicable taxes.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not responsible for delays in shipping and delivery. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs procedures, or events beyond our control. Once the products are handed over to the courier, ownership and the risk of loss pass to you.

SECTION 16 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL The Beautiful Things in Life, ITS PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, MERCHANTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS, OR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM, OR DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST EARNINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, ARISING FROM CONTRACTUAL, SPECIAL, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES; NOR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIMS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE CONTENT, ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT (OR PRODUCTS) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH POSSIBILITY.

We will notify you of any claims eligible for compensation. However, a delay in notification does not release you from your obligations unless you are materially affected. We may control the defense and settlement of such a claim at your expense, including the choice of counsel, but we will not settle any claim that imposes non-monetary obligations on you without your consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of non-compensable claims, including by providing relevant documents.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, it will not apply even to the extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 19 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Shopify's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms and Conditions of Service, along with any policies or operating rules we post on this site or in connection with the Services, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between us and you, and they govern your use of the Services. They supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between us and you (including, but not limited to, any previous versions of the Terms and Conditions of Service).
