Terms of service

OVERVIEW

The following terms and conditions, as well as all policies referenced herein (these "General Terms and Conditions" or "Terms"), describe your rights and obligations when using the services.
Please read these General Terms and Conditions carefully, as they contain important information regarding your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting or using our services, or by interacting with our services, you agree to these General Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these General Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our services.
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these General Terms and Conditions, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence and that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the services on devices that you own, purchase, or manage.
For the use of the services, including accessing or browsing our online shops or the services provided by us
offered products and services, you may be asked to provide certain information, e. g., your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our shops is accurate, current, and complete, and that you possess all necessary rights to provide such information.
You bear sole responsibility for the security of your login credentials and for all activities within your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any third party.
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
Every effort has been made to accurately represent our products and services in our online shops. Please note, however, that the colors or appearance of the products may differ from the representation on your screen, depending on the type of device you use to access the shop, as well as your device's settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations or match the images or representations in our online shops.
All product descriptions 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 to limit the quantities of products we offer 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. Lagovera reserves the right to accept or decline your order at its sole discretion for any reason. Your order is not accepted until Lagovera confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order can be accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Lagovera may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests once the order has been accepted. In the event that we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you via the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.
The return or exchange of your purchases is subject exclusively to the provisions of our right of withdrawal [LINK].
You represent and warrant that your purchases are intended for your personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
SECTION 4 – PRICING AND BILLING
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without prior notice. The price charged for a product or service shall be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the prices quoted do not include taxes, shipping costs, handling fees, customs duties, or import charges.
The prices stated in our online shops may differ from the prices in our physical stores or in online shops and other stores operated by third-party providers. We may offer promotions in connection with our services from time to time, which may affect pricing and for which separate terms and conditions apply. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these terms, the terms of the promotion shall prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made in our shops. You agree to promptly update your account information and other data, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply is true, correct, 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 charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not liable for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are merely estimates and are not guaranteed. We assume no responsibility for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs clearance, or events beyond our control. Once we have handed the goods over to the shipping carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.
SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our services, including but not limited to all trademarks, brands, text, advertisements, images, graphics, product reviews, videos, and audio files, as well as their design, selection, and arrangement, are the property of Lagovera, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. and foreign patent, copyright, and other intellectual property laws.
These terms permit you to use the services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, transmit, or create derivative works of any of the materials on the services without our prior written consent. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these terms grants you a license or any other rights under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of Lagovera, Shopify, or any third-party provider, nor shall it be construed as granting any license or other right. Unauthorized use of the services may constitute a violation of federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Lagovera.

SECTION 7 – OPTIONAL TOOLS
You may be granted access to third-party customer tools through the services. We do not monitor these tools, nor do we have any control or influence over them.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available" without any 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 by you of optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion. You should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).
Furthermore, we may offer new features through the Services in the future (including the release of new tools and resources). Such new features shall also be considered part of the Services and are subject to these General Terms and Conditions.
SECTION 8 – EXTERNAL LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including embedded third-party features). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites that you access. If you leave the Services to access these third-party materials or websites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not liable for any damages related to your access to external websites or your purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content on external websites. Please carefully review the third-party provider's policies and procedures and ensure you understand them before entering into any transaction.

By using the services, you acknowledge that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of sales between you and Lagovera, including any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from the purchase of products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or in connection with your purchases and transactions with Lagovera.
SECTION 10 – PRIVACY POLICY

SECTION 11 – FEEDBACK
If you send, upload, post, email, or otherwise submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback in any media for any purpose, including for commercial purposes. For example, we may use our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, expand, improve, and promote the Services, as well as to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms and Conditions.
You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all necessary rights to any Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with the submission of your Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any Feedback in confidence; (2) to pay you any compensation for any Feedback; or (3) to respond to any Feedback.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your feedback will not violate any third-party rights. This includes copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, personality rights, or any other individual or proprietary rights. Furthermore, you agree that your feedback will not contain any defamatory or otherwise unlawful, offensive, or obscene statements, nor will it contain computer viruses or other malware that could in any way impair the operation of the Services or any related website. You are not permitted to use a false email address, impersonate another person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties regarding the origin of any feedback. You bear sole responsibility for any feedback you provide and for its accuracy. We assume no responsibility or liability for feedback published by you or any third party.
