Terms of service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to ArteBella! The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to ArteBella. ArteBella operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, with the aim of providing you, the customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”).

The terms and conditions below, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as exclusions of warranties 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 with these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least of 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.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be required to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information provided in our stores 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 activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online stores. However, the colors or appearance of the products may differ from those that appear on your screen, due to the type of device you use to access the store and the settings and configuration of your device.

We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will match your expectations or be the same as those presented or displayed in our online store.

All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without prior notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When placing an order, you are making an offer to purchase. ArteBella reserves the right to accept or refuse your orders for any reason, at its sole discretion. Your orders will not be accepted until ArteBella confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before we accept your order. Please carefully check your order before submitting it, as ArteBella may not be able to fulfill cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, change, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you via the email, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.

Your purchases are subject to return or exchange exclusively in accordance with our Refund Policy.

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

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without prior 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 specified in your order confirmation sent by email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the prices shown do not include taxes, shipping fees, handling, customs duties, or import fees.

The prices shown in our online stores may differ from the prices offered in physical stores or in online stores or other stores operated by third parties. Occasionally, we may offer promotions on the Services that may affect prices and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the terms of the promotion will prevail.

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

You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information provided is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) the charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the published prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

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

Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these Terms grants you or shall be construed as granting you a license or other rights under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of ArteBella or any third party. 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 ArteBella.

You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of your feedback; and (iii) your feedback will comply with these Terms.

You must cooperate in the defense of indemnifiable claims, including by providing relevant documents.
