If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using our Services.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting the updated Terms on our website. Your continued use of the Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

2. User Accounts
To access certain features, such as placing orders or tracking shipments, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for any activities occurring under your account. Notify us immediately at [Your Email] if you suspect unauthorized access.

You agree to provide accurate payment and shipping information. All payments are processed through secure third-party providers, and we do not store your payment details. Taxes, duties, and shipping fees are your responsibility and will be calculated at checkout where applicable.
4. Shipping and Delivery
Shipping and delivery are governed by our Shipping Policy, incorporated herein by reference. We are not liable for delays, losses, or damages caused by third-party carriers, customs processes, or events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., force majeure events such as natural disasters, strikes, or pandemics). Risk of loss transfers to you upon handover to the carrier.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations, so the above may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and suppliers from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable laws; (c) your User Content; or (d) your infringement of third-party rights.
11. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in [Your City/State/Country], administered by [e.g., the American Arbitration Association] under its rules, rather than in court. You waive any right to participate in class actions or representative proceedings.
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Your Jurisdiction, e.g., the State of California, USA], without regard to conflict of laws principles. If arbitration is unenforceable, disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [Your City/County].
12. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemics, labor disputes, governmental actions, or supply chain disruptions.
13. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
14. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services, superseding any prior agreements.
