TERMS OF SERVICE

OVERVIEW Welcome aboard Frigate Design Company! The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Frigate Design Company. We operate this store and website — including all content, products, and services — to give you a solid shopping experience (the "Services"). Frigate Design Company runs on Shopify, which powers the engine room behind the scenes.

The terms below, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. Read them carefully — they cover important legal ground including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Services.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm you are at least the age of majority in your state or province, and that you've given consent for any minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own or manage.

To use the Services, you may need to provide information such as your email, billing, and shipping details. You confirm all information provided is accurate and current. You are solely responsible for the security of your account and all activity under it. Accounts may not be transferred or sold.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS We do our best to represent our products accurately. That said, colors and appearance may vary depending on your screen and device settings. We don't guarantee that product appearance or quality will exactly match what's shown in our store.

Product descriptions are subject to change at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue any product or limit quantities at our discretion.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS Placing an order is an offer to purchase — not a confirmed sale. Frigate Design Company reserves the right to accept or decline any order. Your order is confirmed only after we accept it and process payment. Review your order carefully before submitting, as we may not be able to cancel after acceptance. If we decline or change your order, we'll reach out via the contact information you provided.

Returns and exchanges are handled in accordance with our Refund Policy. Purchases are for personal or household use only — not for commercial resale or export.

SECTION 4 — PRICES AND BILLING Prices, discounts, and promotions can change without notice. The price at the time you place your order is the price you pay, as confirmed in your order email. Posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, or customs charges unless stated otherwise.

You agree to provide accurate, complete payment information and to keep it current so we can complete your transactions.

SECTION 5 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY All delivery times are estimates — not guarantees. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs, or circumstances outside our control. Once your order leaves our dock and transfers to the carrier, risk of loss passes to you.

SECTION 6 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Everything on our Services — trademarks, text, images, graphics, designs, and more — is owned by Frigate Design Company or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

You may use the Services for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or transmit any material from the Services without our prior written consent. Frigate Design Company's name, logo, and slogans are our trademarks. Don't use them without written permission.

SECTION 7 — OPTIONAL TOOLS We may give you access to third-party tools as part of the Services. These tools are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Use them at your own risk — we don't monitor or control them and assume no liability for their use.

SECTION 8 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS Our Services may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. If you navigate away from our Services, you do so at your own risk. Direct any issues with third-party products or services to those third parties.

SECTION 9 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY Frigate Design Company is powered by Shopify. All sales are made directly with Frigate Design Company — not Shopify. Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of your purchase, including any injury, damage, or loss. By using our Services, you release Shopify and its affiliates from any related claims.

SECTION 10 — PRIVACY POLICY All personal information collected through our Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Shopify also collects and processes certain data to provide and improve the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge you have read both policies.

SECTION 11 — FEEDBACK If you send us ideas, reviews, or suggestions, you grant Frigate Design Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content for any purpose, including improving and promoting our Services. You confirm you have the rights to share what you submit and that it complies with these Terms. We're not obligated to keep your feedback confidential, compensate you for it, or respond to it.

SECTION 12 — ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS We try to keep everything accurate, but errors happen. We reserve the right to correct pricing, descriptions, or availability at any time — including after an order is placed — without prior notice.

SECTION 13 — PROHIBITED USES Use our Services for lawful purposes only. You may not use them to break laws, infringe intellectual property, harass others, spread false information, or engage in spam, scraping, or malicious activity. We reserve the right to terminate your access at any time if you violate these Terms.

SECTION 14 — TERMINATION We may terminate your access to the Services at any time, without notice, at our sole discretion. You remain responsible for any amounts owed through the date of termination. Certain sections of these Terms survive termination, including Intellectual Property, Feedback, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnification.

SECTION 15 — DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES Our Services and products are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind — express or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

SECTION 16 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the fullest extent permitted by law, Frigate Design Company and its partners, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages — including lost profits, lost data, or replacement costs — arising from your use of the Services or any products purchased through them.

SECTION 17 — INDEMNIFICATION You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Frigate Design Company, Shopify, and our affiliates from any claims, losses, or legal fees arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your use of the Services.

SECTION 18 — SEVERABILITY If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law, and the remaining provisions will remain fully in effect.

SECTION 19 — WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver. These Terms, along with any policies posted on our site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Frigate Design Company regarding the Services.

SECTION 20 — ASSIGNMENT You may not transfer or assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may transfer or assign them without notice to you.

SECTION 21 — GOVERNING LAW These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Frigate Design Company is headquartered. You consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in those courts.
