Terms of service

OVERVIEW
Welcome to Folk and Finds! The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Folk and Finds. Folk and Finds 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"). Folk and Finds 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. By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. 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 18 years of age, or that you are at least the age of majority in your country of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services. 

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and delivery information. You represent and warrant that all the information you provide is correct, current and complete.

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 products in our online store. However, please note that colours or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to the type of device you use and your device settings.

All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding goods being of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS AND CONTRACT FORMATION
When you place an order via our online store, you are making an offer to purchase the goods. Folk and Finds reserves the right to decline or cancel your order for any valid reason at our discretion (for example, in the event of an obvious pricing error or stock unavailability). 

Your order is only accepted, and a legally binding contract formed, when we dispatch the items to you and send a dispatch confirmation email. We process payment at the time your order is placed, but this does not constitute formal acceptance of your order. In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will notify you using the contact details provided at the time the order was made and issue a full refund. 

Your purchases are subject to return or exchange in accordance with our Return Policy [LINK], which complies with your statutory right to cancel under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations.

You agree that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale. 

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product 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 stated, posted prices include VAT (where applicable) but do not include postage and packaging costs, or any international customs and import charges which may apply if you order from outside the UK. 

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases. You represent and warrant that you are duly authorised to use your chosen payment method and that you will pay the posted prices, including delivery charges.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
All delivery times provided are estimates only and are not strictly guaranteed, though we will make every effort to deliver your goods within a reasonable timeframe. We are not liable for delivery delays caused by carriers or events outside our reasonable control. Under UK law, the risk of loss or damage to the products passes to you only when the goods are physically delivered to you, a designated neighbour, or a safe place specified by you. 

SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, brands, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by Folk and Finds, its affiliates or licensors and are protected by UK and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. 

These Terms permit you to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or transmit any of the material on the Services without our prior written consent. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. 

SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS
We may provide you with access to third-party tools as part of the Services, which we neither monitor nor have any control over. You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available" without any warranties or conditions of any kind. Any use by you of optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion. 

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third-party functionality). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these materials or third-party sites, you do so at your own risk. 

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access of any third-party websites, or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third party. 

SECTION 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY
Folk and Finds is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. However, any sales and purchases you make in our store are made directly with Folk and Finds. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sales between you and Folk and Finds, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with Folk and Finds. 

SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY AND DATA PROTECTION
All personal information we collect through the Services is processed in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here [LINK]. Certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy, which can be viewed on their website. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies. 

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries outside the UK, in order to provide services to you. Review our privacy policy [LINK] for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners handle your personal data. 

SECTION 11 - FEEDBACK
If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose, including for commercial use. We may, for example, use our rights under this licence 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 also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain your Feedback in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for your Feedback; or (3) to respond to your Feedback. 

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party's intellectual property or these 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 defamatory 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. 

SECTION 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS
Occasionally there may be information on or in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product delivery charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order, subject to Section 3 regarding contract formation). 

SECTION 13 - PROHIBITED USES

You may not access or use the Services, directly or indirectly: (a) for any unlawful or malicious purpose; (b) to violate any UK laws, local ordinances, or applicable international rules and regulations; (c) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, or intimidate any of our employees or any other person; (e) to transmit false or misleading information; (f) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material that does not comply with these Terms; (g) to transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material, including any "junk mail," "chain letter," "spam," or any other similar solicitation; (h) to impersonate or attempt to impersonate any other person or entity; or (i) to engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Services, or which, as determined by us, may harm Folk and Finds, Shopify or users of the Services, or expose them to liability. 

In addition, you agree not to: (a) upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code that will or may be used in any way that will affect the functionality or operation of the Services; (b) reproduce, duplicate, copy, extract, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services; (c) collect or track the personal information of others; (d) spam, phish, pharm, or pretext the services; (e) use any robot, spider, scraping, data gathering and extraction tools, automatic devices or processes, AI tools (such as agentic AI) or automated or manual means to access the Services; or (f) interfere with, bypass, or circumvent the security or authorization features, robot exclusion headers, or other measures we employ to restrict access to the Services. We reserve the right to suspend, disable, or terminate your account at any time, without notice, if we determine that you have violated any part of these Terms. 

SECTION 14 - AGENTS
14.1 This section ("Agent Terms") applies if you use, allow, enable, or cause the deployment of an Agent to access, use, or interact with any Services. "Agent" means any software or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, any person or entity and that can be executed on behalf of or using a person's device, without direct supervision. 

14.2 No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services unless, at all times, it identifies itself and operates in strict accordance with the requirements in section 14.4 below. In addition, no Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services if we have requested that the Agent refrain from accessing, using, or interacting with any service. 

14.3 We may limit, including by technical measures, whether and how any Agent accesses, uses, and interacts with the Services. 

14.4 Agents must: (i) in all HTTP/HTTPS requests, identify that the request is from an Agent and disclose the name of the Agent by including the following in the request's user agent string: "Agent/[agent name]"; (ii) not conceal or obfuscate that any access, use, or interactions are from an Agent, such as by (a) mimicking human behaviour and interaction patterns, or (b) completing or circumventing CAPTCHAs or measures intended to distinguish computer use from humans, (iii) respond truthfully to any question or prompt seeking to determine if interactions are coming from a human or a computer, (iv) not circumvent or otherwise avoid any measure intended to block, limit, modify, or control whether and how Agents access, use, or interact with the Services. 

SECTION 15 - TERMINATION
We may terminate this agreement or your access to the Services (or any part thereof) in our sole discretion at any time without notice, and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination. 

The following sections will continue to apply following any termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver; Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination. 

SECTION 16 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. 

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. Except as expressly stated by Folk and Finds, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services and all products delivered to you through the Services are provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of our Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. 

SECTION 17 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in these Terms of Service shall limit or exclude our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability which cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. 

Subject to the above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, in no case shall Folk and Finds, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers or licensors, or those of Shopify and its affiliates, be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind. This includes, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the Services or any products procured using the Services, even if advised of their possibility. 

SECTION 18 - INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Folk and Finds, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or (3) your unauthorized access to and use of the Services. 

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defence and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defence of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents. 

SECTION 19 - SEVERABILITY
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. 

SECTION 20 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to the Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service). 

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party. 

SECTION 21 - ASSIGNMENT
You may not delegate, transfer or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any such attempt will be void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent or notice to you, provided that such transfer does not reduce your rights as a consumer. 

SECTION 22 - GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms of Service, any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services, and any disputes arising out of them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You and Folk and Finds agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute, except that if you are a resident of Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts. 

SECTION 23 - HEADINGS
The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.

We will notify you of any material changes to these Terms in accordance with applicable law, and such changes will be effective on the date specified in the notice.
