Terms of service

Overview

Welcome to Atelier UKIYO! The term "we" or "our" refers to Atelier UKIYO. Atelier UKIYO operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, and product and order services, to provide you — our customer — with a curated shopping experience (the "Service"). Atelier UKIYO is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Service to you.

The following Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein (collectively, the "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Service. Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, including disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability. By visiting, accessing, 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 or our Privacy Policy, please do 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 that you have given your consent to allow any minor dependents in your care to use this Service on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Service, including browsing or making purchases on our online store, you may be asked 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 have all rights necessary to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity associated with your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

Section 2 – Our Products

We make every effort to accurately represent the products and services available in our online store. However, please be aware that colors and the appearance of products may differ from what is displayed on your screen, depending on the type and settings of the device you use to access our store.

We do not guarantee that the quality or appearance of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations or match what is depicted or described in our online store.

All product descriptions 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 quantity of products we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

Section 3 – Orders

By placing an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Atelier UKIYO reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or refuse any order for any reason. An order is not accepted until Atelier UKIYO confirms acceptance. We must receive and process payment before an order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as we may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we are unable to accept, or choose to modify or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of purchase.

Purchases are eligible for return or exchange only in accordance with our Refund Policy [link].

You represent and warrant that any products you purchase are for your own personal or household use and are not intended 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 stated in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise specified, listed prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, duties, or import fees.

Prices listed in our online store may differ from those offered in physical retail locations or other stores operated by online or external services. We may from time to time offer promotions related to services that may affect pricing and that 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 through our store. You also agree to promptly update your account information, including your email address, credit card number, and expiration date, as necessary to complete transactions and facilitate contact.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you provide is true, accurate, and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iv) you will pay all charges incurred, including shipping, handling fees, and applicable taxes, at the prices in effect at the time of purchase.

Section 5 – Shipping and Delivery

We are not responsible for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs procedures, or events beyond our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranties, representations, conditions, or endorsements of any kind. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of any optional third-party tools.

We do not warrant that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you.

Section 17 – Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Atelier UKIYO, our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, licensors, or Shopify and its affiliates 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 otherwise, arising from your use of the Service or any products obtained through the Service, any 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 posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Atelier UKIYO, Shopify, and 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, arising out of or related to: (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or any document incorporated herein by reference; (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (3) your access to and use of the Service.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, though failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations unless you suffer material prejudice as a result. We reserve the right to assume control of the defense and settlement of any such claim at your expense, including the selection of counsel, provided that we will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You agree to cooperate in the defense of any indemnifiable claim, including by providing relevant documentation.

Section 19 – Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found 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 severed from these Terms, without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Section 20 – Waiver; Entire Agreement
