Terms of service
Core Sections
1. General Terms
- Agreement to terms by using the site
- You reserve the right to refuse service to anyone
- Prices/product availability can change without notice
2. Products & Pricing
- Colors/images may vary slightly from actual product (common for gadget photography)
- You reserve the right to limit quantities per order
- Errors in pricing/description — state you can cancel orders if a pricing error occurs
3. Orders & Payment
- Accepted payment methods
- You reserve the right to refuse/cancel any order (fraud prevention, stock issues, etc.)
- Order confirmation ≠ acceptance until shipped (protects you if something's out of stock)
4. Shipping
- Processing time (e.g., 1-3 business days)
- You're not liable for carrier delays
- Risk of loss transfers to buyer upon delivery to carrier
5. Returns & Refunds
- Just link to your separate Refund Policy page here rather than duplicating
6. Intellectual Property
- Your site content, logos, product descriptions, images are your property
- Users can't reproduce/resell your content
7. User Conduct
- Prohibited uses (fraud, harassment, illegal activity via the site)
8. Product Warranty Disclaimer
- Important for gadgets: state warranty terms clearly (manufacturer warranty vs. your own), and disclaim liability for misuse (e.g., "not liable for damage caused by improper installation/use of gadgets")
9. Limitation of Liability
- Standard clause capping your liability to the amount paid for the product
10. Governing Law
- Which state/country's laws apply (usually where your business is registered)
11. Contact Information
- Email/address for disputes or questions
Same as before: Shopify's Settings → Policies has a Terms of Service generator — use that as your legally-sound base, then I can help you customize the product-warranty and liability sections specifically for gadgets (this is the part templates often get too generic).
Want me to draft the gadget-specific clauses (warranty disclaimer + liability) in full so you have exact wording to paste in?
