Terms of service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Lauren Parker Books! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Lauren Parker Books. Lauren Parker Books operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, the customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”). Lauren Parker Books is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The following terms and conditions, including all policies referenced herein (the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They contain important information about your legal rights and address matters such as 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 the Privacy Policy, you may not access or use our Services.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are of the age of majority under the laws of the state or province where you reside and that you have given us permission to allow any minor members of your household to use the Services on devices that you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, including visiting or browsing our online stores or purchasing products or services we offer, we may ask you to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing, payment, and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete and that you have all necessary rights to provide it.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities in your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to anyone else.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS

We strive to provide the most accurate possible descriptions of our products and services in our online stores. However, colors and product appearance may differ from how they are displayed on your screen, depending on the device you use to access the store and its settings and configuration.

We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or match the display or description in our online store.

All product descriptions may be changed at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue the sale of any product at any time and may limit the quantities of products offered per person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS

When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase. Lauren Parker Books reserves the right to accept or decline your order at its sole discretion for any reason. Your order is accepted only after Lauren Parker Books has confirmed it. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Lauren Parker Books may be unable to honor a cancellation request after your order has been accepted. If we decline, change, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, or phone number provided during checkout.

Purchases may be returned or exchanged only in accordance with our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.

SECTION 4 — PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions may change without notice. The price charged for a product or service is the price in effect when you place your order and is stated in your order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed prices exclude taxes, shipping charges, handling charges, customs duties, and import duties.

Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from those in physical stores or online stores or other shops operated by third parties. We may occasionally offer promotions for the Services that affect pricing and are subject to terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If a promotion’s terms conflict with these Terms, the promotion’s terms prevail.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases in our stores. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card numbers, and credit card expiration dates, so that we can complete transactions and contact you when necessary.

You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is accurate, correct, and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card for purchases; (iii) your charges will be approved by the credit card company; and (iv) you will pay the charges you incur at the displayed prices, including shipping, handling, and all applicable taxes, where applicable.

SECTION 5 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We are not liable for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times provided are estimates and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events beyond our control. Once we hand the products to the carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.

SECTION 6 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

These Terms permit you to use the Services solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material within the Services without our prior written permission. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, nothing herein grants you a license or other rights under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of Lauren Parker Books, Shopify, or any third party.

If you leave the Services to access such materials or sites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not liable for any damage or adverse consequences related to visiting third-party websites or purchasing or using products, services, resources, or content on third-party websites. Please review the third party’s policies and practices carefully and ensure that you understand them before entering into a transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions about third-party products and services should be directed to the relevant third party.

You further represent and warrant that (i) you own all Feedback or have all necessary rights to it; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with submitting Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms.

You further agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise unlawful, abusive, or obscene statements, computer viruses, or other malware that could affect the operation of the Services or related websites in any way. You may not use a false email address, impersonate another person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties about the origin of Feedback. You are solely responsible for the Feedback you submit and its accuracy. We are not responsible and accept no liability for Feedback posted by you or a third party.

We will notify you of any claim subject to indemnification, provided that failure to give timely notice does not relieve you of your obligations unless it materially prejudices you. We may manage the defense and settlement of such a claim at your expense, including engaging counsel, but we will not settle claims requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent, which you may not unreasonably withhold. You must cooperate in the defense of claims subject to indemnification, including by providing relevant documents.
