Terms of service
OVERVIEW
Welcome to HopIets! The terms 'we', 'us' and 'our' refer to HopIets. HopIets manages this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide you, the customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the 'Services'). HopIets is powered by Shopify, enabling us to deliver the Services to you.
The terms and conditions below, including all policies referenced herein (the 'Terms of Service' or 'Terms'), describe 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 topics such as disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, 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, access to and use of our Services is not permitted.
ARTICLE 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are of legal age under the laws of the state or province where you reside, and that you have given us permission to allow any minor members of your household to use the Services on devices you own, purchase or manage.
To use the Services, including visiting or browsing our online stores or purchasing products or services offered by us, we may ask you to provide certain information, such as your email address and your 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 solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account login credentials and for all activity in your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign or license your account to anyone else.
ARTICLE 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We strive to provide as accurate a description as possible of our products and services in our online stores. However, please note that the colors and appearance of the product may differ from how they are displayed on your screen. This is related to the type of device you use to access the store and the settings and configuration of that device.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or match the display or description in our online store.
All product descriptions may be changed at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue the sale of any product at any time and may limit the quantities of products we offer per person, geographic region or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
ARTICLE 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. HopIets reserves the right to accept or refuse your order at its sole discretion for any reason. Your order is only accepted after HopIets has confirmed it. We must have received and processed your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it. HopIets may not be able to honor a cancellation request once your order has been accepted. In the event we do not accept, modify or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting you via the email address, billing address and/or phone number provided during the ordering process.
You may only return or exchange purchases in accordance with our refund policy [LINK].
You represent and warrant that your purchases are intended for personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
ARTICLE 4 - PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts and promotions may change without notice. The price charged for a product or service is the price in effect at the time you place your order. This price will be stated in the confirmation email you receive after your order. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices shown do not include taxes, shipping costs, handling fees, customs duties or import charges.
Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from prices in physical stores, or in online stores or other stores operated by third parties. We may from time to time offer promotions for the Services that may affect pricing and that are subject to terms and conditions separate from these Terms. In the event of a discrepancy between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotional terms shall prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases you make in our stores. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card numbers and credit card expiry dates, when they change, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you if necessary.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is accurate, correct and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card for purchases; (iii) your charges are approved by the credit card company; and (iv) you will pay the charges you incur in accordance with the prices displayed, including shipping costs, handling fees and all applicable taxes, where applicable.
ARTICLE 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not liable for delays in shipping and delivery. All stated delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs clearance or events beyond our control. Once we have handed the products over to the carrier, ownership and risk of loss are transferred to you.

You agree that your Feedback will not infringe the rights of third parties, including copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, personality rights and other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise unlawful, offensive or obscene content, nor computer viruses or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Services or related websites. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any other person or entity, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of the Feedback. You are solely responsible for the Feedback you submit and its accuracy. We are not responsible and accept no liability for Feedback posted by you or any third party.
