SECTION 1 - ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you provide—including email, billing, and shipping details—is accurate, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Zen Tea Sets reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel orders at our sole discretion.

SECTION 2 - PRODUCT ACCURACY AND VARIATIONS

We strive to display the colors and images of our products as accurately as possible. However, as our products (such as stoneware, clay teapots, and handmade tea pets) often feature natural materials and artisanal finishes, slight variations in color, texture, and appearance are inherent and expected.

We do not warrant that the product quality or appearance will perfectly match your screen display due to device-specific settings. All product descriptions and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.

SECTION 3 - ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION

Your placement of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Zen Tea Sets reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason, including but not limited to product availability, errors in pricing, or suspected fraudulent activity.

A contract is only formed once we have processed your payment and sent a shipping confirmation. Please review your order carefully; we may be unable to accommodate cancellation or modification requests once an order is in processing. In the event of a change or cancellation, we will attempt to notify you via the contact information provided at checkout.

SECTION 4 - PRICING AND BILLING

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. Unless expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, or customs duties.

By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide the information to third-party payment processors to facilitate the transaction.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND RISK OF LOSS
