TERMS OF SERVICE — HALLOWEEN CHILLS

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Halloween Chills! This website and store are operated by Halloween Chills ("Halloween Chills," "we," "us," "our"). Halloween Chills operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). Halloween Chills is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

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

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SEE SECTION 24) THAT WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A COURT HEARING, A JURY TRIAL, AND PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS ACTION. ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALL DISPUTES UNLESS YOU OPT OUT AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 24.

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 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 the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given 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 the information you provide in our stores is correct, current and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all of your account activity. 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 Halloween decorations, props, and seasonal products in our online store. However, please note that colors or product appearance may differ from how they may appear on your screen due to the type of device you use to access the store and your device settings and configuration. In addition, certain product photos may show decorations styled in a scene (for example, in low light, with fog effects, or combined with other items); only the item described in the product listing is included in your purchase unless expressly stated otherwise.

We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations or be the same as depicted or rendered in our online stores.

All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. Because our products are seasonal, we reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products that we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis. Any offer for any product or service made through the Services is void where prohibited.

SECTION 3 — PRODUCT SAFETY AND INTENDED USE

Our products are decorative items intended for seasonal display only, unless otherwise stated in the product listing. Unless expressly labeled as such, our products are not toys and are not intended for use by children. Some decorations may contain small parts, cords, or other components that can present a choking, strangulation, or entanglement hazard to young children and pets; keep such items out of their reach.

Decorations are not intended to come into contact with open flames, candles, heat sources, or food unless the product listing expressly states otherwise. Products marked for indoor use should not be used outdoors. For electrical or battery-powered decorations, always follow the instructions included with the product, do not use products with damaged cords or components, and do not leave powered decorations unattended for extended periods.

You are responsible for using our products safely and as intended. Halloween Chills is not responsible for damage or injury resulting from misuse, modification, or use of products contrary to their instructions or intended purpose.

SECTION 4 — ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Halloween Chills reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion, and we may require additional information before processing any order. Your order is not accepted until Halloween Chills confirms acceptance; an automated order confirmation email does not by itself signify our acceptance of your order. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as Halloween Chills may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made. If we decline or cancel your order after payment, you will receive a refund to your original form of payment, and you agree that we will not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from our refusal to provide any product or service.

Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund & Return Policy and Section 7 (Returns and Refunds) below.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale, redistribution, or export. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

SECTION 5 — PRICES 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 the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs or import charges; all such charges will be itemized in your cart and order confirmation email. All charges are in U.S. Dollars.

Prices posted in our online store may be different from prices offered in physical stores or in online or other stores operated by third parties. We may offer, from time to time, promotions on the Services — including seasonal or Halloween countdown promotions — that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

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 numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

By submitting payment information to us, you represent and agree that: (i) you are fully authorized to use that card or account; (ii) all payment information provided is complete and accurate; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your card issuer; and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, and sufficient funds exist to pay the amount(s) due.

We and our third-party payment service providers may request, and may receive, updated credit or debit card information from your card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration dates when your card has expired or was reissued. If such updated information is provided to us, we will update your account information accordingly. Your card issuer may give you the right to opt out of providing vendors and third-party payment service providers with updated card information; if you wish to opt out, contact your card issuer.

We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or card issuer may apply. If your bank or card issuer reverses a charge, we may bill you directly and seek payment by another method, including a mailed statement, and we may suspend or cancel any pending or future orders.

SECTION 6 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We are not liable for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. This applies in particular during the peak Halloween season (September and October), when carriers experience high volumes. If you need your decorations by a specific date, such as October 31, please order well in advance. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Once we transfer products to the carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.

Halloween Chills ships to addresses located in the United States.

An accurate shipping address and phone number are required. We are not responsible for late, lost, or missing shipments if you enter incorrect or incomplete shipping address information. If you discover that you have made a mistake with your order after it has been submitted, or wish to cancel your order before it has been shipped, please contact Customer Support at support@halloweenchills.com as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to amend or cancel your order.

Delivery Confirmation. Because many circumstances may occur at your delivery address that are beyond our control, you agree that any delivery confirmation provided by the carrier is deemed sufficient proof of delivery to the purchaser, even without a signature.

SECTION 7 — RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Halloween Chills offers a thirty (30) day return policy, according to the following terms. To be eligible, your return request must be submitted within thirty (30) days from the date that you received your order, and items must be unused, in their original condition, and in the original packaging. Returns are only valid on products purchased directly from halloweenchills.com. To start a return, email support@halloweenchills.com with your order number; our team will provide the return address and instructions. Items shipped back without prior instruction from our support team cannot be processed or refunded on that basis. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the return is due to our error (damaged, defective, or incorrect items).

If your order arrives damaged or defective, or if you received the wrong item, contact us at support@halloweenchills.com with your order number and a photo of the item and packaging, and we will send a replacement or issue a refund, at your choice, without requiring a return.

For approved refunds, Halloween Chills will refund the purchase price to the same payment method used to place the order. Original shipping and handling fees are non-refundable, unless the refund is due to our error. Refund requests submitted outside the applicable refund window will not be approved. After a refund is approved and processed, it may take up to ten (10) days for the refund to be posted to your account, depending on your financial institution.

All returns and exchanges are governed by our Refund & Return Policy: https://halloweenchills.com/policies/refund-policy.

We may, for example, use our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, enhance, improve and promote the Services and to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under the 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 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 email 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.
