Legal notice

This Legal Notice provides information concerning the operation and use of talkingtablesas.shop.

Shopify provides a dedicated Legal Notice field among its store-policy options. Shopify also notes that merchants remain responsible for creating and reviewing policies appropriate to their business and applicable jurisdiction.

1. Store Identification

Store Name: talkingtablesas.shop
Website: talkingtablesas.shop
Customer Service and Legal Contact Email: info@talkingtablesas.shop

talkingtablesas.shop is the trading and online store name used for ecommerce activities conducted through this website.

2. Website Platform

This online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify supplies ecommerce technology and related infrastructure used to operate the store.

The products sold through talkingtablesas.shop, customer orders, customer service, product information, returns, refunds, and merchant obligations are the responsibility of talkingtablesas.shop.

3. Purpose of Website

talkingtablesas.shop provides an online environment where customers may:

  • Browse products;
  • Review product information;
  • Purchase available products;
  • Access store policies;
  • Obtain order information; and
  • Contact customer support.

4. Acceptance of Policies

Use of the website and completion of purchases are subject to:

  • Terms of Service;
  • Privacy Policy;
  • Return and Refund Policy;
  • Shipping Policy; and
  • This Legal Notice.

Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply regardless of these contractual terms.

5. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and current information.

However, occasional errors may occur in:

  • Product descriptions;
  • Product images;
  • Inventory information;
  • Website text;
  • Technical specifications; or
  • Promotional information.

We may correct errors where legally permitted.

We will not rely on this provision to engage in false or misleading marketing. Canadian competition rules prohibit materially false or misleading representations to consumers.

6. Pricing Transparency

We aim to communicate pricing clearly before customers complete a transaction.

Prices and mandatory government charges will be handled according to information displayed during checkout and applicable law.

The Competition Bureau identifies drip pricing as a concern where a promoted price is unattainable because mandatory non-government charges are added later.

7. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, content owned by talkingtablesas.shop may be protected by intellectual property laws.

Protected materials may include:

  • Store branding;
  • Original written content;
  • Graphics;
  • Logos;
  • Website design elements;
  • Promotional materials; and
  • Original product photography.

Third-party trademarks and content remain the property of their respective owners.

8. Permitted Website Use

The website may be used for lawful personal shopping and informational purposes.

Users may not:

  • Interfere with site security;
  • Attempt unauthorized access;
  • Introduce malware;
  • Commit fraud;
  • Harvest personal information unlawfully;
  • Copy protected material for unauthorized commercial use; or
  • Use the website in violation of applicable law.

9. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Such links may be provided for convenience.

Unless expressly stated, the presence of a link does not necessarily constitute endorsement or control of the third-party service.

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

10. Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Legal Notice, Terms of Service, Shipping Policy, or Return and Refund Policy eliminates rights that cannot legally be waived.

Canadian consumer-protection requirements can vary by province and territory.

For Quebec online consumers in particular, statutory distance-contract rules may impose disclosure, contract-copy, cancellation, reimbursement, and related requirements in certain circumstances.

Mandatory legal rights prevail over conflicting contractual provisions.

11. Privacy

Personal information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

PIPEDA establishes federal private-sector privacy principles for commercial activities where it applies, while substantially similar provincial privacy laws may apply in certain provinces or circumstances.

Privacy questions may be directed to:

12. Electronic Marketing

Where talkingtablesas.shop sends commercial electronic marketing communications, such communications will be managed in accordance with applicable requirements.

CASL guidance requires qualifying commercial electronic messages to satisfy applicable consent, identification, and unsubscribe requirements.

13. Security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect our website and customer information.

However, no online system can guarantee absolute security.

Customers are responsible for protecting their own:

  • Passwords;
  • Devices;
  • Email accounts; and
  • Payment credentials.

14. Fraud

We reserve the right to take reasonable measures to prevent:

  • Payment fraud;
  • Identity fraud;
  • Account compromise;
  • Chargeback abuse;
  • Automated attacks; and
  • Other unlawful activity.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, suspicious transactions may be investigated, declined, or reported to relevant service providers or authorities.

15. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, talkingtablesas.shop is not liable for losses arising solely from:

  • Unauthorized use of a customer's device or account;
  • Third-party websites not controlled by us;
  • Customer-provided incorrect information;
  • Events outside our reasonable control; or
  • Other circumstances for which applicable law permits exclusion of liability.

Nothing in this provision excludes liability or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

16. Availability of the Website

We do not guarantee uninterrupted website availability.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:

  • Maintenance;
  • Technical problems;
  • Hosting interruptions;
  • Security incidents;
  • Platform updates; or
  • Events beyond reasonable control.

17. Policy Changes

We may amend this Legal Notice and related policies when necessary.

The current version will be published on talkingtablesas.shop.

Material changes will take effect as indicated in the updated policy and subject to applicable law.

18. Applicable Law

Transactions with Canadian consumers remain subject to applicable federal, provincial, and territorial laws.

Nothing in this Legal Notice requires a consumer to waive mandatory protection available under the laws applicable to that consumer.

19. Severability

If any provision of this Legal Notice is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.
