Terms of service

OVERVIEW
Welcome to Atelier De Montis! The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Atelier De Montis. Atelier De Montis operates this shop and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, in order to provide you, as the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Atelier De Montis is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services.
The terms and conditions set out below, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and by our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you have reached the age of majority in your State or Region of residence and that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing any product or service we offer, you may be required 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 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 third party.

SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online stores. However, please note that the colors or appearance of products may differ from how they appear on your screen due to the type of device used to access the store and the device’s settings and configurations.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any product or service purchased will meet expectations or correspond exactly to what is represented or displayed in our online stores.
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 quantities of any product offered to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, on a case‑by‑case basis.

SECTION 3 – ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Atelier De Montis reserves the right to accept or reject the order for any reason, at its discretion. An order is not accepted until Atelier De Montis confirms its acceptance. Payment must be received and processed before the order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Atelier De Montis may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after the order has been accepted. If the order is not accepted, is modified, or is cancelled, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of the order.
Purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy .
You represent and warrant that purchases are intended for 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 your order is submitted and will be listed in the order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the prices displayed do not include taxes, shipping or handling fees, customs duties, or import charges.
Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from prices offered in physical stores or in online stores or other shops operated by third parties. From time to time, we may offer promotions on the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made in our stores. 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 (i) the credit card information you provide is truthful, accurate, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use that credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred will be honored by the credit card issuer, and (iv) amounts charged will be paid at the posted prices, including shipping and handling fees and all applicable taxes, if any.

SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We are not responsible for delays in shipping or delivery. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs procedures, or events beyond our control. Once products are transferred to the carrier, ownership and risk of loss pass to you.

SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

SECTION 7 – OPTIONAL TOOLS

You may be provided access to customer tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we do not monitor and over which we have no control or influence.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without endorsement. 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 the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve the terms and conditions under which such tools are provided by the relevant third‑party providers.

SECTION 11 – FEEDBACK

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit 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 and for any purpose, including commercial use. We may, for example, exercise the rights granted under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, improve, refine, and promote the Services and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under these Terms of Service.
You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all rights to the Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentive received in connection with submitting the Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are not and will not be obligated to (1) keep your Feedback confidential; (2) provide compensation for your Feedback; or (3) respond to your Feedback.
We may, without being obligated to do so, monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, libelous, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate any third‑party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You also agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory, unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, nor contain computer viruses or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Services or any related website. You may not use a false email address, pretend to be someone else, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you provide and for its accuracy. We assume no responsibility and accept no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that failure to do so promptly will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including the choice of counsel, but we will not settle any claim imposing non‑monetary obligations without your consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. You will cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including providing relevant documentation.
