By visiting our website, creating an account, placing an order, purchasing a product, or otherwise using any part of the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including browsers, customers, vendors, merchants, and contributors of content.

Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our website. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access the website or use the Service.

We may add new features, products, tools, or services from time to time. Any such additions will also be subject to these Terms unless otherwise stated.

Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to offer and sell products to you.

SECTION 1 - ELIGIBILITY AND ONLINE STORE TERMS

By using the Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or jurisdiction of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have provided consent for any minor dependents under your supervision to use the Service.

You may not use our website, products, or Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, nor may you violate any applicable law or regulation in connection with your use of the Service.

You must not transmit viruses, worms, malware, malicious code, or any other technology intended to damage, interfere with, or compromise the Service or another user's use of the Service.

A violation of these Terms may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Service.

We reserve the right to refuse or limit service, orders, or access to the Service where permitted by applicable law.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, exploit, or commercially use any portion of the Service, access to the Service, or content available through the Service without our prior written permission, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

Information you submit through the Service may be transmitted over various networks and modified as necessary to conform to technical requirements. Payment information is handled through secure payment processing systems and is encrypted during transmission as required by applicable standards.

Headings in these Terms are provided for convenience only and do not affect their interpretation.

SECTION 3 - PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT INFORMATION

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, specifications, dimensions, colors, materials, features, pricing, and other information about our products.

However, colors and product appearance may vary depending on your device, monitor, lighting conditions, manufacturing tolerances, materials, and other factors. We cannot guarantee that your device will display product colors or other visual characteristics exactly.

Product measurements, capacities, weights, and dimensions may be approximate unless expressly stated otherwise.

We reserve the right to modify product specifications, packaging, colors, materials, features, or availability where reasonably necessary, provided such changes do not materially misrepresent a product purchased by you.

Products may be available exclusively online and may be offered in limited quantities.

We reserve the right to discontinue products at any time and to limit the sale or availability of products by customer, household, geographic region, jurisdiction, or other reasonable criteria.

All offers are void where prohibited by law.

SECTION 4 - PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

Prices, promotions, discounts, product availability, and other offers are subject to change without notice.

We attempt to ensure that pricing and availability information is accurate. However, typographical, technical, or other errors may occasionally occur.

If a product is listed at an incorrect price or with materially incorrect information, we reserve the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to correct the error and cancel or refuse an affected order.

If you have already been charged for an order that we cancel, we will issue an appropriate refund to the original payment method.

SECTION 5 - ORDERS AND ORDER ACCEPTANCE

Submitting an order does not necessarily constitute our acceptance of that order.

We reserve the right to accept, decline, limit, or cancel an order where permitted by law, including in circumstances involving suspected fraud, unauthorized transactions, pricing or inventory errors, product availability, payment issues, resale activity, or violations of these Terms.

We may limit quantities purchased per person, household, account, payment method, billing address, shipping address, or order.

We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that reasonably appear to have been placed by unauthorized dealers, resellers, or distributors.

If we modify or cancel an order after it has been submitted, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you using the contact information provided with the order.

You are responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete account, billing, shipping, and payment information.

SECTION 6 - PAYMENT

You agree to pay all charges associated with purchases you make through the Service, including applicable product prices, shipping charges, and taxes presented to you at checkout.

Available payment methods may change from time to time.

Payment authorization does not guarantee order acceptance or shipment.

We may use third-party payment processors to process transactions. Your use of those payment services may also be subject to the applicable provider's terms and privacy practices.

SECTION 7 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping options, charges, and estimated delivery times will be displayed at checkout or described in our Shipping Policy where applicable.

Delivery dates and transit times are estimates unless expressly guaranteed. Delays may occur due to carriers, weather, holidays, inventory conditions, customs, events outside our reasonable control, or other circumstances.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Additional terms regarding shipping, delivery, damaged shipments, lost packages, and other fulfillment matters may be provided in our Shipping Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

SECTION 8 - RETURNS, REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES

Returns, refunds, and exchanges are governed by our Return and Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Nothing in these Terms or our Return and Refund Policy limits any non-waivable rights or remedies available to consumers under applicable law.

SECTION 9 - PROMOTIONS, DISCOUNTS AND GIFT CARDS

From time to time, Phantom Chef may offer promotional codes, discounts, sales, gifts with purchase, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional offers.

Unless otherwise stated, promotions are available for a limited time, are subject to availability, may have eligibility requirements or exclusions, may not be combined with other promotions, may exclude certain products or categories, and may be modified or discontinued where permitted by law.

Additional terms provided with a promotion will apply to that promotion.

Gift cards, if offered, are subject to any additional terms disclosed at purchase and applicable law.

SECTION 10 - ACCURACY AND TIMELINESS OF INFORMATION

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate information on the Service but do not guarantee that all general informational content will always be complete, current, or error-free.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ACCESS TO THE SERVICE WILL ALWAYS BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

EXCEPT FOR WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY PHANTOM CHEF OR WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS WARRANTIES, RIGHTS, OR REMEDIES THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

THIS MAY INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR REPLACEMENT COSTS, TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES MAY LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, THESE PROVISIONS WILL APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

SECTION 19 - TERMINATION

These Terms remain effective while you use the Service.

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or unlawful conduct, created a security risk, or otherwise used the Service improperly.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective following termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, User Content licenses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute-related provisions.
