Terms of Service
Last updated: [Month Day, Year]
1) Overview
Welcome to Southern Belle & Sea™ (“we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or purchasing from this site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy.
2) Eligibility & Account
You must be at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence to use the Services. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
3) Products, Availability & Colors
We make every effort to display product colors and images accurately. We cannot guarantee your device’s display will be accurate. Some items are made-to-order or fulfilled by trusted production partners; availability, production times, and shipping estimates may vary.
4) Pricing, Taxes & Changes
All prices are shown in USD unless noted. We reserve the right to modify prices at any time. Applicable taxes and shipping will be calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. Promotional prices and offers are subject to terms listed with the offer and may be changed or withdrawn without notice.
5) Orders & Order Acceptance
Your order constitutes an offer to purchase. We may accept or reject any order for reasons including product availability, suspected fraud, inaccurate pricing, or problems with payment authorization. If we cancel an order after your card has been charged, we will issue a prompt refund to your original payment method.
6) Payment
We accept major credit/debit cards and other payment methods shown at checkout. By submitting payment, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method and that billing information is accurate.
7) Shipping & Delivery
Shipping options, costs, and estimated timeframes are shown at checkout and detailed in our Shipping Policy. Once an order is handed to the carrier, risk of loss transfers to the customer. Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout; we are not responsible for delays or losses caused by incorrect addresses or carrier issues.
8) Returns, Exchanges & Cancellations
Please review our Refund Policy for eligibility, time windows, and instructions. Many of our items are made-to-order; in such cases, cancellations may only be possible before production begins.
9) Made-to-Order & On-Demand Production
To reduce waste, some items are produced after you place an order. Production and delivery timelines posted on product pages are estimates and may vary during peak seasons or due to supplier constraints.
10) User Content & Reviews
If you submit reviews, photos, comments, or other content (“User Content”), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display that content in connection with our Services and marketing (including social media), in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You represent that you own or have permission to share the content, and that it does not violate third-party rights or applicable law. We may moderate or remove User Content at our discretion.
11) Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Services for any unlawful purpose, to solicit others to perform or participate in unlawful acts, to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances, to infringe upon our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others, or to upload malicious code or spam.
