Terms of service
Overview
Welcome to Dolce Store! The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Dolce Store. Dolce Store operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services offered in connection with orders, with the aim of providing you (the customer) with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Dolce Store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
These Terms and Conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (collectively, the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), set out your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They contain important information about your legal rights, including disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, using or interacting with our Services, 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 the Privacy Policy, please do not use or access our Services.
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 or province of residence, and that you have given us 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 store or purchasing any products or services we offer, you may be required to provide certain information such as your email address, billing, payment and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in 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 activity that occurs 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 display our products and services in our online store. However, please note that the colour or appearance of products may differ from what is shown on screen due to the type of device you use to access the store and your device settings and configuration.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations, or that it will be identical to the description or presentation in our online store.
We reserve the right to change all product descriptions at any time without prior notice. We also reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may, on a case-by-case basis, limit the quantities of any product we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction.
Section 3 – Orders
When you submit an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Dolce Store reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason at its sole discretion. Your order is not accepted until Dolce Store confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before accepting your order. Please carefully review your order before submission, as Dolce Store may not be able to fulfil cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, change or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address and/or phone number you provided when placing the order.
Products you purchase may only be returned or exchanged in accordance with our Refund Policy [link].
Your purchase is for your personal or household use only and may not be used for commercial resale or export.
Section 4 – Prices and Billing
Prices, discounts and promotions may change without prior notice. The price charged for products or services will be the price in effect at the time your order is submitted and will be stated in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, published prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, duties or import fees.
Prices published in our online store may differ from those offered in physical stores, online stores or other stores operated by third parties. From time to time we may offer promotional activities that affect pricing; such promotions are governed by separate terms and conditions in addition to these Terms. In the event of any conflict between the promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms shall prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card number and expiry date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are fully authorised to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honoured 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 shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs processing or events beyond our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you once we transfer the goods to the carrier.

You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind, and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.
Your use of optional tools offered through this website is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and agree to the terms on which such tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider.

The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third-party features).

If you decide to leave the Services to access such materials or third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
We shall have no liability for any damage or loss arising from your access to any third-party website, or from your purchase or use of any products, services, resources or content on any third-party website.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy [link] for more information on how we, Shopify and our partners use your personal information.
Section 11 – Feedback
If you submit, upload, post, email or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose (including commercial purposes). For example, we may use the rights granted under this licence to operate, provide, evaluate, enhance, improve and promote the Services, and to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under these Terms of Service.
You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own all Feedback and all necessary rights therein; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with submitting the Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We have no obligation now or in the future to (1) keep your Feedback confidential; (2) pay compensation for your Feedback; or (3) respond to your Feedback.
We may, but are under no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove Feedback that we determine to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, libellous, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property rights or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Services or any related website. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you submit and for its accuracy. We take no responsibility for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

Section 14 – Agents
14.1 If you use, permit, enable or cause the deployment of an agent to access, use or interact with any of the Services, this section (the “Agent Terms”) applies. “Agent” means any software or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous actions on behalf of an individual or entity, or under their direction, and that operates on behalf of an individual or using an individual’s device without direct supervision.
14.2 No agent may access, use or interact with the Services unless it identifies itself at all times and operates strictly in accordance with the requirements of Section 14.4 below. In addition, if we request that an agent refrain from accessing, using or interacting with any of the Services, no agent may access, use or interact with such Services.
14.3 We may limit (including through technical measures) whether and how any agent may access, use and interact with the Services.
14.4 Agents must: (i) in all HTTP/HTTPS requests, identify that the request originates from an agent and disclose the agent’s name by including the following in the request’s user-agent string: “Agent/[agent name]”; (ii) not conceal or obscure the fact that any access, use or interaction originates from an agent, for example by (a) mimicking human behaviour and interaction patterns, or (b) completing or circumventing CAPTCHAs or measures designed to distinguish computer use from human use; (iii) respond truthfully to any question or prompt seeking to determine whether an interaction originates from a human or a computer; and (iv) not circumvent or otherwise avoid any measures designed to block, restrict, modify or control whether and how agents may access, use or interact with the Services.
Section 15 – Termination
We may terminate this agreement or your access to the Services (or any part thereof) at any time at our sole discretion, without prior notice, and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.
The following provisions will survive termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver; Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We accept no liability arising from reliance on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of its contents.
Except as expressly provided by Dolce Store, the Services and all products provided through the Services are provided to you on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant, represent or guarantee that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the exclusion of implied or other warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you.
Section 17 – Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dolce Store, our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers or licensors, or Shopify and its affiliates’ respective personnel, shall not be liable for any claim arising from or related to your use of any Services or any products purchased through the Services, including but not limited to any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss, damage or injury of any kind arising from the use of the Services or any content (or products) posted, transmitted or otherwise made available through the Services, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special or consequential damages of any nature, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of savings, loss of data, cost of replacement or any similar damages, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Section 18 – Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dolce Store, Shopify and their affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors and service providers from and against any losses, damages, liabilities or claims (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) payable to any third party arising out of or resulting from: (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or any documents incorporated by reference; (2) your violation of any law or infringement of any third-party right; or (3) your access to and use of the Services.
We will notify you of any claim subject to indemnification, provided that failure to give timely notice will not relieve you of your obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced thereby. We may control the defence and settlement of such claims (including choice of counsel) at your expense, but we may not settle any claim that requires you to assume non-monetary obligations without your consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). You shall cooperate in the defence 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, that provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service. 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 website or in respect of the Services, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
Any ambiguity in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
