Terms of Service

Overview

Welcome to Toreken Books. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Toreken Books.

Toreken Books operates this online store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and order-related services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (collectively, the “Service”).

Toreken Books is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Service to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein (collectively, the “Terms” or “Terms of Service”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Service.

Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, including disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability.

By visiting, accessing, or using 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 our Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service.

Section 1 — Access and Accounts

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or region of residence, and that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Service on a device that you own, purchase, or control.

To use the Service, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any products or services offered through our online store, you may be required 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 activities that occur 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 accurately represent the products and services available in our online store. However, please note that the colors and appearance of products may vary from how they appear 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 products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations, or that they will be exactly as depicted or presented in our online store.

All descriptions of products 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 we may limit the quantity of products available to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

Section 3 — Orders

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Toreken Books reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject your order for any reason.

An order is not accepted until Toreken Books confirms acceptance. Before an order is accepted, we must receive and process payment.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Toreken Books may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, modify, 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 any products you purchase are for your own personal or household use and are not intended for commercial resale or export.

Section 4 — Prices 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 stated, listed prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs duties, or import fees.

Prices listed in our online store may differ from prices offered in physical retail locations, other online stores, or stores operated by third-party services.

From time to time, we may offer promotions related to the Service that may affect pricing and may be governed by separate terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between the terms of a promotion 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 through 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) any credit card information you provide is true, accurate, and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use such 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 listed prices, including shipping fees, 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 responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs procedures, or events beyond our control.

Title to and risk of loss for the products pass to you when we transfer the products to the carrier.

Section 7 — Optional Tools

As part of the Service, we may provide you with access to tools offered by third-party services, which we neither monitor nor control, and over which we have no input.

You acknowledge and agree that such tools are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties, representations, conditions, or endorsements of any kind. We shall have no liability arising from or relating to your use of any optional third-party tools.

Any use by you of optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion. You should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which such tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider.

We may also offer new features through the Service in the future, including the release of new tools and resources. Such new features shall also be deemed part of the Service and will 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 service features.

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 responsible for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites, or your purchase or use of goods, services, resources, or content available on third-party websites.

Information that you submit through the Service may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third-party services located outside your country of residence in order to provide the Service to you.

You agree that your Feedback will not violate any rights of any third-party service or third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other intellectual property, personal, or proprietary rights.

You further agree that your Feedback will not contain libelous, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful, abusive, hateful, or obscene material, or any computer virus or other malware that could affect the operation of the Service or any related website.

You may not use a false email address, impersonate any other person, or otherwise mislead us or any third-party service as to the origin of any Feedback.

You are solely responsible for any Feedback you submit and for its accuracy. We assume no responsibility or liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

Section 17 — Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Toreken Books, 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 of any kind.

We shall not be liable for any claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including 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 through the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Section 18 — Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Toreken Books, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to: (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or any documents incorporated by reference; (2) your violation of any law or the rights of any third-party service or third party; or (3) your access to or use of the Service.

We will notify you of any claim subject to indemnification. However, failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced by the delay.

We may control the defense and settlement of any such claim at your expense, including the choice of counsel. However, we will not settle any claim requiring a non-monetary obligation from you without your consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

You agree to cooperate in the defense of any indemnified 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, such provision shall nevertheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any 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, together with any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in relation to the Service, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service.

These Terms supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us, including any prior versions of these Terms of Service.
