Terms of service

Here's a Terms of Service draft built for a dropshipping model — since you're sourcing through CJDropshipping/AutoDS and fulfilling internationally, I've made sure it covers the things that catch dropshippers out (third-party fulfilment, longer delivery windows, liability limits) alongside the standard legal boilerplate. Same disclaimer as before: I'm not a lawyer, so it's worth a quick solicitor review before this goes live, especially the liability and governing law sections.

Terms of Service

theapperaluk.myshopify.com

Welcome to [The Apparel Globe]. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and your purchase of products from us. By accessing our site or placing an order, you agree to these Terms in full. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. About Us

The Apparel Globe is operated by [Vidhi Gohel], based in England, United Kingdom. We can be contacted at [vidhigohel21@gnail.com].

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or have a parent/guardian's permission, to place an order with us. By using this site, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a contract.

3. Products & Sourcing

We want to be transparent about how we operate. Our products are sourced through third-party suppliers and manufacturers, and orders are fulfilled directly by these suppliers on our behalf (a model commonly known as dropshipping). As a result:

Products may ship from international locations, including outside the UK/EU
Delivery times are typically 7–20 business days, though this can vary by supplier and destination
Product images are representative; minor variations in colour, packaging, or design may occur due to supplier batch differences
Customs charges or import duties may apply to international shipments, and these are the customer's responsibility unless stated otherwise at checkout

4. Pricing & Payment

All prices are listed in [GBP/£] and include VAT where applicable, unless stated otherwise. We reserve the right to change prices at any time without notice, though this won't affect orders already confirmed. Payment is processed securely via [Shopify Payments / PayPal / your providers] at the time of order.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure pricing accuracy, but in the event of a pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund.

5. Order Acceptance

Placing an order does not guarantee fulfilment. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for reasons including but not limited to: product unavailability, supplier error, pricing mistakes, or suspected fraudulent activity. If we cancel your order, you will receive a full refund.

6. Shipping & Delivery

Estimated delivery times are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed, as fulfilment depends on third-party suppliers and couriers outside our direct control. We are not liable for delays caused by customs processing, courier handling, extreme weather, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon delivery to the courier's tracked confirmation of receipt.

7. Returns & Refunds

Our full Returns & Refund Policy is available here: [link to policy]. By placing an order, you agree to the terms of that policy in addition to these Terms.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this site — including logos, text, graphics, and design — is owned by or licensed to [Your Business Name] and may not be copied, reproduced, or used without our written permission.

9. User Accounts

If you create an account with us, you're responsible for keeping your login details secure and for any activity carried out under your account. Let us know immediately if you suspect unauthorised use.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [Your Business Name] is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or your purchase of products, including but not limited to delays caused by third-party suppliers or couriers. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death, personal injury, or fraud, where such exclusion would be unlawful.

12. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site.
