Terms of service

Overview
Welcome to STEC Battery! “We” and ‘our’ refer to STEC Battery. STEC Battery operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you (the customer) with a curated shopping experience (hereinafter referred to as “the Service”). STEC Battery is powered by Shopify, enabling us to offer you the aforementioned services.

The specific terms of service below, along with any policies referenced in these Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), outline the rights and responsibilities associated with your use of the Service.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By accessing, interacting with, or using our Service, 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 the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Service.

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 agree that we may permit any minor household members to use our Services on devices owned, purchased, or managed by you.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any goods 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 store is accurate, complete, and up-to-date, and that you possess all necessary rights to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and all activities that occur under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

Section 2 - Our Products
We have made every effort to display our products and services accurately in our online store. However, please be aware that due to variations in the type of device you use to access the store, as well as your device settings and configuration, the actual colors or appearance of products may differ from what you see on your screen.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any product or service you purchase will meet your expectations, nor do we guarantee that it will be identical to the description or presentation in our online store.
All product descriptions are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantity of any product offered to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction at our sole discretion.

Section 3 - Orders
Your placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. STEC Battery reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its sole discretion. Your order is not accepted until STEC Battery confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submission, as STEC Battery may be unable to assist with cancellations once an order is accepted. If we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you via the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of order placement.
Your purchase transaction is subject to returns and exchanges only in accordance with our Refund Policy [link].
You represent and warrant that your purchase of products is for personal or household use only, and not for any commercial resale or export purposes.

Section 4 - Pricing and Billing
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service is the price in effect at the time you place your order, as listed in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, published prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling fees, customs, or import charges.
Prices displayed in our online store may differ from those offered in physical stores or online/offline stores operated by third parties. We may occasionally offer promotional offers for services that may affect pricing; such promotions are governed and subject to separate terms of service independent of these Terms. In case of conflict between promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms shall prevail.
You agree to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date purchase, payment, and account information for all transactions made in our store. You agree to promptly update your account information and other details, including your email address, credit card number, and expiration date, so we can complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card for purchase transactions, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the published price, including shipping and handling fees and all applicable taxes (if any).

Section 5 - Shipping and Delivery
We are not responsible for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delivery delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events beyond our control. Title and risk of loss transfer to you immediately upon our delivery of the product to the carrier.

All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans appearing in the Services are trademarks of their respective owners.

Section 7 - Optional Tools
As part of the Service, you may be provided access to customer tools offered by third parties, over which we have no oversight, control, or involvement.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available,” without any warranty, representation, or condition of any kind, and without any endorsement. We assume no liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.
Your use of any optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure you are familiar with and agree to the terms under which the relevant third-party provider makes the tool available.
We may also introduce new features (including the release of new tools and resources) through the Service in the future. These new features shall also be deemed part of the Service and shall be governed by these Terms of Service.

Section 8 - Third-Party Links
The Service may contain hyperlinks to materials and websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third-party features). 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 our Service to visit these materials or third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
We assume no liability for any harm or damages resulting from your access to any third-party websites, or from your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content available on or through any third-party websites. Please review the third party's policies and practices carefully to ensure you understand their requirements before proceeding with any transaction.

You agree that your feedback will not infringe upon any third party's rights, including copyrights, trademarks, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise illegal, abusive, or obscene content, nor will it include any form of computer virus or other malware that could affect the operation of the Service or any related websites. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties regarding the origin of any feedback. You are solely responsible for any feedback you submit and its accuracy. We assume no responsibility for any feedback posted by you or any third party.
