Terms of service
Overview
Welcome to AREth! The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to AREth. AREth operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services related to orders, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Service"). AREth is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Service to you.
These Terms of Service, together with the policies referenced herein (the "Terms" or "Terms of Service"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Service.
These Terms of Service contain important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability, so please read them carefully.
By visiting, using, or accessing 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 the Privacy Policy, 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 the state or region in which you reside, and that you consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Service on devices owned, purchased, or managed by you.
To use the Service, including accessing or browsing our online store or making purchases from it, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your email address, billing information, payment information, 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 activity under 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 display our products and services in the online store as accurately as possible. However, please note that colors and the appearance of products may differ from what appears on your screen depending on the type of device you use to access the store and your device settings.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations or match what is depicted or presented in our online store.
All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice, in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
Section 3 - Orders
By placing an order, you make an offer to purchase. AREth reserves the right, in its sole discretion and for any reason, to accept or reject your order. An order is not accepted until AREth confirms acceptance. Before an order is accepted, we must receive and process payment. Because AREth may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted, please review your order carefully before submitting it. If we do not accept, change, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.
Purchases may be returned or exchanged only in accordance with our Refund Policy [link].
You represent and warrant that the products you purchase are 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 stated in the order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, duties, or import charges.
Prices posted in the online store may differ from prices offered in physical stores, other online stores, or stores operated by third-party services. We may from time to time offer promotions relating to services that may affect pricing and that are subject to terms separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms will govern.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made at our store. You also agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card number, and expiration date, so that 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 duly authorized to use that credit card for the purchase; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred at the posted prices, including shipping charges, fees, and all applicable taxes.
Section 5 - Shipping and Delivery
We are not responsible for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you when we transfer the products to the carrier.
Section 6 - Intellectual Property
Our Service, including without limitation all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, videos, audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, is owned by AREth, its affiliates, or licensors and is protected by U.S. and foreign patent, copyright, and other intellectual property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Service for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material on the Service without our prior written consent. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, nothing in these Terms grants or may be construed as granting any license or other right under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of AREth, Shopify, or any third-party service. Unauthorized use of the Service may violate federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by AREth.
The name AREth, the AREth logo, and all related product names, service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of AREth or its affiliates or licensors. You must not use such marks without AREth's prior written permission. Shopify's name, logo, product names, service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product names, service names, designs, and slogans appearing on the Service are trademarks of their respective owners.
Section 7 - Optional Tools
We may provide you with access to customer tools made available by third-party services as part of the Service, but we neither monitor nor control them, nor do we provide input into them.
You acknowledge and agree that any such tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties, representations, conditions, or endorsements of any kind. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of optional tools offered through this site is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which the relevant third-party provider offers them.
We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Service, including the release of new tools and resources. Such new features shall also be considered part of the Service and shall be subject to these Terms of Service.
Section 8 - Links to Third-Party Services
The Service may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third-party services, including embedded third-party functionality. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites that you choose to access. If you leave the Service to access such materials or third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on such websites. Before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully review and make sure you understand the third party's policies and practices. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the relevant third party.
Section 9 - Relationship with Shopify
[Merchant note: This section accurately describes the relationship between Shopify and the store and should not be deleted or modified.]
AREth is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Service to you. However, all sales and purchases made through the store are conducted directly by AREth. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sale between you and AREth, including any injury, damage, or loss arising from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to your purchases and transactions with AREth.
Section 10 - Privacy Policy
All personal information we collect through the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, available here [link], and certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy, available here. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
Because the Service is hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information regarding your access to and use of the Service for the purpose of providing and improving the Service for you. Information you submit to the Service may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third-party service providers located in countries other than your own. For more information about how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy [link].
Section 11 - Feedback
If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose, including commercial use. For example, we may use rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, enhance, improve, and promote the Service, and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under these Terms.
You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all rights necessary to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are under no obligation: (1) to maintain any Feedback in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any Feedback; or (3) to respond to any Feedback.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, otherwise objectionable, or in violation of any party's intellectual property rights or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain libelous, defamatory, unlawful, abusive, hateful, or obscene material, or any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Service or any related website. You may not use a false email address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you make and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.
Section 12 - Errors, Inaccuracies, and Omissions
Information on or in the Service may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, or availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, to change or update information, and to cancel orders if any information is inaccurate at any time without prior notice, including after you have submitted your order.

Section 14 - Agents
14.1 This section ("Agent Terms") applies if you use, permit, enable, or deploy any agent to access, use, or interact with the Service. "Agent" means any software or service that performs autonomous or semi-autonomous actions on behalf of, or under the direction of, a person or entity, and can act without direct supervision on behalf of that person or entity or using that entity's devices.
14.2 An agent may not access, use, or interact with the Service unless it always clearly identifies itself and strictly complies with the requirements of Section 14.4 below. In addition, if we request that an agent refrain from accessing, using, or interacting with any part of the Service, that agent may not access, use, or interact with the Service.
14.3 We may limit whether and how agents may access, use, or interact with the Service, including through technical means.
14.4 Agents must: (i) in every HTTP/HTTPS request, identify that the request is made by an agent and disclose the agent's name by including the user-agent string "Agent/[Agent Name]"; (ii) not conceal or obscure the fact that access, use, or interaction is by an agent, including by (a) imitating human behavior or interaction patterns, or (b) completing or circumventing CAPTCHAs or other measures designed to distinguish computer use from human use; (iii) answer truthfully any questions or prompts intended to determine whether an interaction is coming from a human or a computer; and (iv) not evade or circumvent any means intended to block, restrict, modify, or control whether and how an agent may access, use, or interact with the Service.
Section 15 - Termination
We may, in our sole discretion, terminate this agreement or your access to the Service (or any part of it) at any time without notice. In that event, you remain liable for all amounts due through the date of termination.
The following sections will continue to apply after termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver, Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.
Section 16 - Disclaimer of Warranties
The information provided on or through the Service is provided for general informational purposes only. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
We are not responsible for any liability arising from reliance on such materials by you, any other visitor to the Service, or anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.
Except as expressly stated by AREth, the Service and all products provided through the Service are provided to you "as is" and "as available," without any representation, warranty, or condition of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant, represent, or guarantee that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or other warranties, the above disclaimer may not apply to you.
Section 17 - Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall AREth, 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, 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 using the Service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including but not limited to 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 (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of their possibility.
Section 18 - Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AREth, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any loss, damage, liability, or claim, including reasonable attorneys' fees paid to third-party services, arising out of or relating to: (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or any document incorporated by reference herein; (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party service; or (3) your access to and use of the Service.
We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, but failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced by that delay. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including selection of counsel, but we will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. You agree to cooperate in the defense of any indemnifiable claim, including by providing relevant documents.
Section 19 - Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall nevertheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed 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
Our failure 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 any prior versions of these Terms of Service.
Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
Section 21 - Assignment
You may not delegate, transfer, or assign your rights or obligations under this agreement or these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempted delegation, transfer, or assignment shall be void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations under them without your consent or notice to you.
Section 22 - Governing Law
These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you with services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal, state, or territorial courts of the jurisdiction in which AREth is headquartered. You and AREth consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts.
