Terms of Service
Overview
Welcome to DeMercy! The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to DeMercy. DeMercy operates this store and website, including all associated information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, as a customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the "Services"). DeMercy uses the Shopify platform, which enables us to offer you the Services.
The following terms and conditions, along with the policies referenced therein (the "Terms of Service" or "TOS"), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, including warranty disclaimers 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 to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.
ARTICLE 1 - Access and Account
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 you give us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices 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 asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have all necessary rights to communicate such information.
You are solely responsible for the security of your account credentials and for any activity related to your account. You are not authorized to transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.
ARTICLE 2 - Our Products
We have made every effort to accurately display our products and services in our online stores. Please note, however, that the colors or appearance of products may differ from what is displayed on your screen due to the type of device you use to access the store, as well as its settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchased will meet your expectations or will be identical to what is presented or rendered in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to withdraw a product from sale at any time and may limit the quantities of products we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.
ARTICLE 3 - Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. DeMercy reserves the right to accept or refuse your order, for any reason, at its discretion. Your order is not considered accepted until DeMercy provides written confirmation. We must receive and process your payment before your order is validated. Please carefully review your order before submitting it, as DeMercy may not be able to accept cancellation requests once the order is confirmed. In the event of refusal, modification, or cancellation of your order, we will attempt to contact you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of order.
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange conditions in accordance with our Refund Policy.
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use, and not for commercial resale or export.
ARTICLE 4 - Pricing and Billing
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time of order and will be indicated in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, displayed prices do not include taxes, shipping fees, handling fees, customs duties, or import fees.
Prices displayed on our online stores may differ from those offered in our physical stores or on other online platforms operated by third parties. We may, from time to time, offer promotions on our Services that may impact prices and are governed by separate terms and conditions 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 stores. You agree to promptly update your information, including your email address, credit card numbers, and their expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that: (i) your credit card information is accurate, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use this card for the purchase, (iii) the charges incurred will be honored by your card-issuing company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred at the posted prices, including shipping and handling fees, as well as all applicable taxes.
ARTICLE 5 - Shipping and Delivery
We cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery or shipping. All stated delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. We disclaim all liability for delays caused by carriers, customs formalities, or any event beyond our control. As soon as the products are handed over to the carrier, ownership and risk of loss transfer to you.
ARTICLE 6 - Intellectual Property
Our Services, including, without limitation, all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, video and audio content, as well as their design, selection, and arrangement, are the exclusive property of DeMercy, its affiliates, or its licensors.
These Terms authorize you to use the Services only for personal and non-commercial purposes. You are not authorized to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material on the Services without our prior written consent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, nothing should be construed as granting you a license or any other right to any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of DeMercy, Shopify, or a third party. Any unauthorized use of the Services may constitute a violation of federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by DeMercy.

Shopify's name, logo, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.
ARTICLE 7 - Optional Tools
You may be asked to use customer tools provided by third parties as part of the Services, tools that we do not monitor and over which we have no control or ability to contribute.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to these tools "as is" and "as available," without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind, and without any endorsement from us. We disclaim all liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.
Your use of optional tools offered on the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are familiar with and agree to the terms applicable to these tools, as defined by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Services (including the provision of new tools and resources). These new features will be considered an integral part of the Services and will be subject to these Terms of Service.
ARTICLE 8 - Links to Third Parties
The Services may contain documents and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including integrated third-party features). We are not responsible for reviewing or evaluating the content or accuracy of third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these third-party materials or sites, you do so at your own risk.
We disclaim all liability for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites, or the purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content on these sites. We encourage you to carefully review the policies and practices of third parties and ensure you understand them before engaging in any transaction. Claims, complaints, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed directly to the relevant third party.
ARTICLE 9 - Relationship with Shopify
DeMercy is powered by Shopify, which allows us to offer you the Services. However, any sale or purchase made in our Store is made directly with DeMercy. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of the sales between you and DeMercy, including any damage, injury, or loss resulting from the purchased products or services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from any claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchase and transaction with DeMercy.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
As the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information regarding your access and use of the Services to provide and improve them for you. The information you submit to the Services will be transmitted and shared with Shopify, as well as with third parties who may be located in different countries from where you reside, to provide you with the services. Please refer to our privacy policy for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.
ARTICLE 11 - Feedback
If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or any other content (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback for any purpose, including commercial purposes. For example, we may use our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, improve, and promote the Services and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms of Service.
You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to the Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with the submission of your Feedback; (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are not and will not be obligated (1) to maintain the confidentiality of your Feedback; (2) to pay compensation for your Feedback; (3) to respond to your Feedback.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove any Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion is 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 rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, or contain 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 e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you make and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.
