Terms of service
OVERVIEW
Welcome to PAMELA SMITH! The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to PAMELA SMITH. PAMELA SMITH operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a carefully curated shopping experience (the “Services”). PAMELA SMITH uses Shopify as its technology platform, which enables us to provide these Services to you.
The following terms and conditions, 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 contain important information about your legal rights and cover matters 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 our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.
SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your place of residence and, where applicable, that you have given your consent for any minor dependants under your responsibility to use the Services through devices that you own, have purchased or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing details, payment information and shipping information.
You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity carried out through your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign or license your account to any other person.
SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every reasonable effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online stores. However, please note that colours or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to the type of device used and its settings.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will exactly meet your expectations or be identical to the images or representations displayed in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without prior notice, at our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit, on a case-by-case basis, the quantities available to certain persons, geographic regions or jurisdictions.
SECTION 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. PAMELA SMITH reserves the right to accept or reject any order for any reason at its discretion.
Your order will not be considered accepted until PAMELA SMITH expressly confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before the order can be considered accepted.
Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as PAMELA SMITH may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests once the order has been accepted.
If we do not accept an order, make a change to it or cancel it, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address and/or telephone number provided at the time the order was placed.
Your purchases are subject to our Returns & Refunds Policy, as well as any mandatory consumer rights applicable to you.
You represent and warrant that purchases made are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without prior notice.
The price applicable to a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be stated in your order confirmation email.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, published prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs duties or import charges.
Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from prices offered in physical stores or in online or physical stores operated by third parties.
From time to time, we may offer promotions relating to the Services that affect pricing and are subject to specific terms and conditions separate from these Terms. In the event of any conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the specific promotion terms shall prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases made through our stores.
You also agree to promptly update your account details and any other relevant information, including your email address, credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.
You represent and warrant that:
(i) the credit card information you provide is true, accurate and complete;
(ii) you are duly authorised to use such credit card for the purchase;
(iii) any charges incurred will be honoured by the card issuer; and
(iv) you will pay all amounts corresponding to the published prices, including shipping and handling charges and applicable taxes, where relevant.
SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We ship to destinations worldwide, subject to availability and any applicable shipping restrictions.
Shipping costs and estimated delivery times, where applicable, will be displayed during checkout before you complete your order.
All delivery times are estimates and may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier delays, customs procedures or other unforeseen events.
PAMELA SMITH remains responsible for the goods until they are delivered to the customer or to a third party designated by the customer, in accordance with applicable law.
For deliveries outside the European Union, customs duties, import taxes or other charges may apply depending on the destination country.
Unless otherwise stated during checkout or required by applicable law, such charges are the responsibility of the customer.
SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, trade names, text, visual content, images, graphics, product reviews, videos and audio, as well as their design, selection and arrangement, are owned by PAMELA SMITH, its affiliates or licensors and are protected by applicable national and international intellectual and industrial property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Services for personal, non-commercial use only.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store or transmit any material included in the Services without our prior written consent.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as granting you any licence or other right under any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property belonging to PAMELA SMITH, Shopify or any third party.
Unauthorised use of the Services may constitute an infringement of intellectual and industrial property laws.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by PAMELA SMITH.

The Shopify name, logo, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of Shopify.
All other names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans appearing in the Services belong to their respective owners.
SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS
As part of the Services, we may provide you with access to tools provided by third parties over which we exercise no control, supervision or input.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available”, without warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement.
We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use of such tools is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and accept the terms and conditions established by the relevant third-party providers.

You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from any claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with PAMELA SMITH.
SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, Shopify’s Privacy Policy.
