Terms of service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of talkingtablesas.shop, including purchases made through our online store.

By accessing our website, creating an account, or purchasing a product, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

1. Online Store

talkingtablesas.shop operates an ecommerce store using Shopify technology.

Shopify provides the ecommerce platform, but transactions for products offered by talkingtablesas.shop are between the customer and talkingtablesas.shop. Shopify likewise states that merchants are responsible for their products, transactions, returns, refunds, and legal compliance.

2. Eligibility

By making a purchase, you represent that:

• You are legally capable of entering into the transaction;
• Information provided by you is accurate;
• You are authorized to use the selected payment method; and
• Your purchase is for lawful purposes.

We make reasonable efforts to display accurate product information.

However:

• Colours may vary between screens;
• Packaging may change;
• Dimensions may be approximate;
• Product appearance may vary slightly;
• Manufacturers may update specifications; and
• Minor variations may occur.

Nothing in this section permits us to make materially false or misleading representations.

4. Product Availability

Products are subject to availability.

Inventory may change at any time.

An item appearing online does not guarantee perpetual availability.

5. Prices

Prices are displayed on the website at the time of purchase.

The price applicable to an order is generally the price displayed and accepted through checkout, subject to applicable law.

Mandatory taxes or government-imposed charges may be added where legally required.

Canadian competition law addresses false or misleading price representations and drip-pricing practices.

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase.

After submission, you may receive an automated confirmation acknowledging receipt.

An order may be subject to verification relating to:

• Payment authorization;
• Product availability;
• Fraud prevention;
• Shipping eligibility; and
• Accuracy of order information.

Any right to reject or cancel an order will be exercised only where permitted by applicable law.

Customers are responsible for applicable taxes included or added to the transaction in accordance with applicable law.

9. Shipping

All orders qualify for free standard shipping.

The estimated delivery period is 15–20 days, subject to the detailed terms of our Shipping Policy.

Delivery estimates are not guarantees where delays result from circumstances outside our reasonable control, unless applicable consumer law provides otherwise.

10. Delivery Information

Customers must provide accurate and complete shipping information.

talkingtablesas.shop is not responsible for delays caused solely by incorrect customer-provided information where we have taken reasonable steps to fulfill the order.

11. Risk of Loss

Risk of loss or damage will pass in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms transfers risk to a consumer earlier than legally permitted.

12. Returns and Refunds

Returns and refunds are governed by our Return and Refund Policy.

Nothing in that policy or these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights.

Promotions may be subject to:

• Eligibility criteria;
• Specific dates;

• Other clearly disclosed conditions.

Promotional codes cannot be redeemed for cash unless required by law.

• Maintaining confidentiality of login credentials;
• Providing accurate account information;
• Preventing unauthorized account access; and
• Informing us promptly of suspected compromise.

You must not use our website to:

• Commit fraud;
• Violate applicable law;

• Is unlawful;

• Is knowingly false; or
• Constitutes spam.

By submitting content, you represent that you have the right to provide it.

19. Errors and Omissions

We may correct typographical, technical, or administrative errors on the website.

However, nothing in this section permits talkingtablesas.shop to disregard a completed consumer transaction where applicable law prohibits doing so.

Quebec's consumer authority has specifically stated that a merchant cannot rely on a contractual clause to cancel a distance purchase merely because of a pricing error in circumstances covered by Quebec consumer law.

20. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our website and services are provided subject to the terms stated in these policies.

We do not exclude any warranty, statutory guarantee, consumer remedy, or liability that cannot legally be excluded.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, talkingtablesas.shop will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising solely from circumstances for which applicable law permits exclusion of liability.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, including mandatory consumer rights.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses reasonably resulting from your unlawful use of the website, fraud, deliberate misuse, or infringement of third-party rights.

This provision does not require consumers to indemnify us for our own unlawful conduct.

23. Force Majeure

We will not be responsible for delays caused by events reasonably outside our control, such as:

• Natural disasters;
• Severe weather;
• Carrier disruptions;
• Labour disruptions;
• Government restrictions;

• Cybersecurity incidents;

We will nevertheless comply with any consumer remedies required by law.

Marketing communications are subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.

26. Termination

We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, customers, or business against fraud, security threats, or unlawful activity.

Termination will not eliminate rights or obligations relating to transactions already completed.

27. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the transaction and the customer, including applicable federal and provincial or territorial consumer-protection legislation.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to waive the protection of mandatory laws applicable in the consumer's province or territory of residence.

28. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent legally permitted.

29. No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision immediately does not permanently waive our right to enforce it later.

30. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our:

• Privacy Policy;
• Return and Refund Policy;
• Shipping Policy; and
• Legal Notice

constitute the principal terms governing use of our online store.
