OVERVIEW

Welcome to Amara Apothecary. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Amara Apothecary. Amara Apothecary 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”). Amara Apothecary 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.

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 store or purchasing any products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide information such as your email address and your billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide 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 activity 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 provide accurate information about our products and services. Colors and appearance may vary from what you see on your device.

All descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit quantities to any person, region, or jurisdiction.

Content on this site is for general information only and is not medical advice. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified clinician before using any product, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a medical condition.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase. We may accept or decline your order at our discretion. Your order is not accepted until we confirm acceptance and process your payment. We may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after acceptance. If we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the contact details provided at checkout.

Your purchases are subject to our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions may change without notice. The price charged is the price in effect at the time the order is placed and appears in your order confirmation. Unless expressly stated, posted prices exclude taxes, shipping, handling, customs, and import charges.

Prices on our site may differ from prices offered elsewhere. Promotions may be governed by separate terms. If there is a conflict, the promotion terms control.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases and to promptly update your information so we can complete transactions and contact you as needed. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide and that you will pay all charges incurred, including taxes, shipping, and handling.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping details, rates, and timelines are described in our Shipping Policy. Delivery times are estimates and not guarantees. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you when the carrier accepts the package.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; those limitations may not apply to you.

SECTION 16 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL AMARA APOTHECARY, OUR PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS, OR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim when reasonably possible; our failure to notify will not relieve your obligations unless materially prejudicial.

You agree to cooperate in the defense.

SECTION 18 - SEVERABILITY
