Terms of service

Overview

Welcome to the Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store. Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you with a curated shopping experience (the “Service”). Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store is powered by Shopify, which allows us to provide the Service to you.

The following Terms of Service, along with all policies referenced herein (collectively, these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe 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 of warranties 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 Privacy Policy, you may not access or use the 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 that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Service on devices you own, purchase, or control.

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

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

Section 2 - Products

We make every effort to display our products and services as accurately as possible in our online store. However, please note that the colors and appearance of products on your screen may differ from the actual items depending on the device, settings, and configuration used to access the Service.

We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations, or that they will be identical to what is depicted or reproduced in the online store.

All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the sales of our products to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

Section 3 - Orders

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to accept or decline your order for any reason. Your order is not confirmed until accepted by Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store. We must receive and process payment before your order is accepted. Once accepted, orders may not be eligible for cancellation; please review your order carefully before submitting it. 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 the order was placed.

Returns or exchanges of purchased products are governed exclusively by our Refund Policy [[Link]].

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

Section 4 - Pricing and Billing

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

Prices displayed in our online store may differ from prices offered in physical retail locations or in other online stores operated by third parties. We may offer promotions on the Service that may affect pricing and are governed by separate terms and conditions. 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 for all purchases made at 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 can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

You represent and warrant that:

  • The credit card information you supply is true, correct, and complete.
  • You are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase.
  • Charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company.
  • You will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping, handling, and all applicable taxes, if any.

Section 5 - Shipping and Delivery

We assume no liability for delays in shipping or delivery. All delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs clearance processes, or events beyond our reasonable control. Risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier.

We do not warrant, represent, or covenant that your use of our Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above disclaimers may not apply to you.

Section 17 - Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store, our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, or licensors, or Shopify and its affiliates' employees, be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of the Service or any products procured using the Service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, even if advised of their possibility.

Section 18 - Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Yamatsuka Shogo Online Store, Shopify, our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, or claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or your access to and use of the Service.

We shall promptly notify you of any claim subject to indemnification. However, failure to promptly notify you will not relieve you of your obligations unless you suffer material prejudice thereby. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel; provided, however, that we shall not settle any claim that imposes non-monetary obligations on you without your written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You agree to cooperate in the defense of any indemnified claim, including providing relevant documents.

Section 19 - Severability

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Section 20 - Waiver; Entire Agreement

The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to the Service constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
