Terms of service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Loyal to the Leaf.

The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Loyal to the Leaf. Loyal to the Leaf operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services in order to provide you, the customer, with our online shopping experience (the “Services”).

Our store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced within them, describe your rights and responsibilities when you access our website, use our Services, or purchase our products.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They include important information regarding your legal rights, purchases, refunds, shipping, intellectual property, 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.

Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy

If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our 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 province, territory, state, or jurisdiction of residence.

If you permit a minor dependent to access or use our Services through a device or account you own or manage, you accept responsibility for that use where permitted by law.

To browse our store, create an account, or purchase products, you may be required to provide information including your name, email address, billing information, payment information, and shipping address.

You represent and warrant that the information you provide is accurate, current, and complete and that you have the right to provide that information.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

You may not sell, transfer, assign, or license.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS

Loyal to the Leaf creates Canadian-inspired apparel featuring original designs celebrating Canadian pride, humor, identity, culture, and places.

Our apparel is designed in Canada and printed in Canada through Canadian-based production partners.

Most of our apparel is produced after an order is placed.

We make reasonable efforts to represent our products, colors, artwork, sizing, and appearance accurately on our website.

However, colors and product appearance may vary slightly depending on your screen, device, display settings, lighting, garment color, printing process, and normal manufacturing variations.

Because products are individually printed, minor variations in print placement, color, positioning, or appearance may occur.

These normal production variations are not necessarily considered defects.

Product descriptions, designs, colors, sizes, availability, and specifications may change without notice.

We reserve the right to discontinue products or limit quantities at any time.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS

When you submit an order through Loyal to the Leaf, you are making an offer to purchase the products included in that order.

We reserve the right to accept, refuse, modify, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in circumstances involving suspected fraud, payment issues, technical errors, pricing errors, product availability, or other legitimate business reasons.

Your order is not considered accepted until payment has been successfully processed and the order has been accepted for production or fulfilment.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it.

Our apparel is generally made to order, and orders may enter production shortly after being placed.

Once production has started, we may be unable to change or cancel the order.

If we need to modify, reject, or cancel an order, we will attempt to contact you using the email address, telephone number, billing information, or other contact information provided with your order.

Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy.

Refund Policy: Refund Policy

Products purchased through Loyal to the Leaf are intended primarily for personal or household use unless we expressly agree otherwise.

SECTION 4 — PRICES AND BILLING

Unless otherwise stated, prices displayed on the Canadian version of our website are shown in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Prices, promotions, discounts, and offers may change without notice.

The price charged for a product will be the price displayed and confirmed when your order is placed, subject to correction of obvious pricing or technical errors.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, product prices do not include applicable sales taxes, shipping charges, customs charges, duties, brokerage fees, or other government-imposed charges.

These amounts may be calculated or displayed separately during checkout when applicable.

Customers ordering from the United States are responsible for any duties, taxes, customs charges, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by government or customs authorities, where applicable.

We may occasionally offer promotions or discount codes with separate conditions.

If specific promotional terms conflict with these Terms of Service, the specific promotional terms will apply to that promotion.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information when making a purchase.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order and agree to pay all valid charges associated with your purchase.

SECTION 5 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Loyal to the Leaf currently ships within Canada and the United States.

Our apparel is printed and fulfilled through Canadian-based production partners.

Because our products are made to order, production occurs before your order is shipped.

Shipping and delivery times shown on our website or during checkout are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

Delivery times may be affected by production volume, shipping carriers, weather conditions, holidays, customs or border processing, service interruptions, and other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Orders shipped from Canada to the United States may require additional transit time because of customs or cross-border processing.

When tracking is available, tracking information will be sent to the email address associated with your order after the package has shipped.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

If a package becomes lost, returned, delayed, or undeliverable because an incorrect or incomplete address was submitted, additional replacement or shipping charges may apply.

Once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, carrier-related delays may be outside our direct control.

We will nevertheless make reasonable efforts to help investigate significantly delayed or apparently lost shipments.

Please review our complete Shipping Policy for additional information.

SECTION 6 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Loyal to the Leaf website and Services, including our original designs, illustrations, artwork, logos, brand elements, product names, slogans, graphics, photographs, videos, written content, website content, and overall presentation, are owned by or licensed to Loyal to the Leaf and may be protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Purchasing a Loyal to the Leaf product gives you ownership of the physical product you purchased.

It does not transfer ownership of the artwork, design, slogan, branding, illustration, photograph, or other intellectual property appearing on that product.

You may use our Services and website content for lawful personal and non-commercial purposes.

Unless expressly authorized by us in writing, you may not reproduce, copy, modify, distribute, republish, sell, license, create derivative works from, commercially exploit, or otherwise use our intellectual property.

The name Loyal to the Leaf, our logos, branding, designs, slogans, and other distinctive brand elements may not be used without our prior written permission.

Shopify's trademarks and intellectual property remain the property of Shopify.

All other trademarks appearing through our Services belong to their respective owners.

SECTION 7 — OPTIONAL TOOLS

Our website may provide access to tools, applications, features, or services operated by third parties.

We may not monitor or control these third-party tools.

Access to such tools may be provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, subject to applicable law.

Your use of optional third-party tools is at your own discretion and may also be governed by the terms and privacy policies of those third parties.

We may introduce new tools, resources, features, or functionality in the future.

Unless otherwise stated, those features will also form part of the Services and will be subject to these Terms of Service.

SECTION 8 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to websites, services, applications, or content operated by third parties.

Loyal to the Leaf does not control every third-party website or service and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, privacy practices, products, or services provided by those third parties.

If you choose to access a third-party website or service, you do so subject to that provider's terms and policies.

Please review third-party policies carefully before making purchases or providing personal information.

Concerns regarding third-party products or services should generally be directed to the applicable third party.

SECTION 9 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

Loyal to the Leaf uses Shopify to operate and provide our online store.

However, purchases made through our store are transactions directly between you and Loyal to the Leaf, subject to applicable law.

Shopify provides the technology that enables our online store but is not the seller of Loyal to the Leaf products.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Shopify is not responsible for Loyal to the Leaf products, fulfilment decisions, customer service, or other aspects of purchases made directly from us.

SECTION 10 — PRIVACY POLICY

Personal information collected through our Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy

Because our store is hosted by Shopify, Shopify may also collect and process personal information relating to your access to and use of our Services in order to provide its technology and services.

Information required to complete your purchase may also be shared with service providers involved in operating our business, including payment processors, Canadian production and fulfilment partners, shipping carriers, analytics providers, and other necessary service providers.

Some service providers may process information outside the province, state, or country where you reside.

Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information regarding how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.

SECTION 11 — FEEDBACK, REVIEWS, AND SUBMISSIONS

If you voluntarily submit reviews, photographs, comments, suggestions, feedback, ideas, or other content to Loyal to the Leaf, you represent that you have the right to provide that material.

Where permitted by law, you grant Loyal to the Leaf a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, display, adapt, and distribute that submitted material for legitimate business purposes, including operating, improving, and promoting our Services.

We are not obligated to compensate you for unsolicited feedback unless we expressly agree otherwise.

We may moderate or remove submitted content that we reasonably believe is unlawful, abusive, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene, threatening, infringing, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate.

Your submitted content must not violate the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, personality, or other legal rights of another person.

You may not knowingly submit malware, viruses, false information, fraudulent reviews, or content designed to interfere with our website or Services.

You remain responsible for the accuracy and legality of content you submit.

SECTION 12 — ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally, information on our website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or technical errors.

These may relate to product descriptions, artwork, sizing, prices, promotions, discounts, shipping charges, delivery estimates, product availability, or other information.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to update or change information when reasonably necessary.

If a significant pricing or product error affects an order that has already been submitted, we may contact you regarding correction or cancellation of that order and provide a refund where appropriate.

Termination does not eliminate payment obligations or other responsibilities that arose before termination.

Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination will remain in effect, including provisions concerning intellectual property, submitted content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and other continuing obligations.

SECTION 15 — DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information and reliable Services.

However, except where expressly stated or required by applicable law, information and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that our website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or continuously available.

We also do not guarantee that every color displayed on a screen will exactly match the physical garment or printed product.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties or conditions that may otherwise apply, including implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

SECTION 16 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Loyal to the Leaf and our owners, partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, production partners, licensors, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Services or products purchased through the Services.

This may include, where permitted by law, lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or similar damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected where applicable.

  1. Your material breach of these Terms of Service

  2. Your violation of applicable law

  3. Your infringement of another person's rights

  4. Your unlawful or improper use of the Services

We may participate in the defence of a claim subject to this section.

Nothing in this section requires indemnification where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.

SECTION 18 — SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

If necessary, the unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 19 — WAIVER AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce a right or provision under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

They supersede prior agreements or communications relating to the same subject matter, except where otherwise required by law.

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements through which we provide Services are governed by the applicable laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Subject to applicable consumer protection legislation and any rights that cannot legally be waived, disputes relating to these Terms or the Services will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, Canada.

Nothing in this section removes mandatory legal rights that may apply to customers residing in another province, territory, state, or jurisdiction.
