Terms of Service

Terms of service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Universal Yums. Universal Yums operates this Shopify-powered store and website, including the associated content, information, tools, products, features, and services, collectively called the “Services.” In these Terms, “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Universal Yums. Shopify enables Universal Yums to make the Services available. Read the entire agreement because it establishes legal rights and duties and includes important warranty disclaimers and liability limits.

Accessing, visiting, interacting with, or using a Service means that you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept both documents, do not access or use the Services. Additional rules or policies posted for a feature are incorporated here. These Terms apply to every user, including browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and people who contribute content.

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

Agreement confirms that you have reached the age of majority in your state or province of residence and that you authorize any minor dependents to use the Services through devices you own, buy, or manage. To browse, transact, or maintain an account, you may need to provide an email address and billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent that every item supplied is current, complete, accurate, and lawfully yours to provide.

You are responsible for keeping account credentials confidential and for all account activity. An account may not be sold, licensed, assigned, or transferred to another person.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We try in good faith to display and describe products and services accurately. Device, monitor, and display settings can change how colors or appearance are perceived, so we do not warrant an exact match between an online image and what is received or that every quality expectation will be met.

Product descriptions may be revised without advance notice. We may stop offering a product at any time and may restrict sales quantities by person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, applying those limits as we decide in a particular situation.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to buy. Universal Yums may accept or refuse that offer for any reason in its discretion, and acceptance does not occur until Universal Yums confirms it. Payment must be received and processed before an order is accepted. Check all details before submission because Universal Yums may be unable to accommodate a cancellation request after acceptance.

If an order is refused, changed, or cancelled, we will attempt notice using the email, billing address, or telephone details supplied with it. Purchases may be returned or exchanged only under the Refund Policy. You represent that purchases are for personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions can change without notice. The amount charged is the amount in effect when the order is placed and shown in its confirmation. Unless a listing expressly says otherwise, displayed prices exclude taxes, shipping, handling, customs, and import charges. Prices on our website can differ from those at physical stores or third-party stores.

A promotion may have separate conditions; if those conditions conflict with these Terms, the promotion conditions control. You agree to keep purchase, account, payment, email, card-number, and expiration information current, accurate, and complete. You further represent that card details are truthful and complete, you are authorized to use the card, its issuer will honor the charges, and you will pay posted prices together with applicable shipping, handling, and taxes.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping and delivery timeframes are estimates rather than guarantees, and we are not liable for delay. Carrier operations, customs processing, and events outside our control may affect arrival. Title and the risk of loss pass to you once products are transferred to the carrier.

SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Services—including trademarks, brands, writing, displays, pictures, graphics, product reviews, video, audio, and their design, selection, and arrangement—belong to Universal Yums, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by United States and foreign patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property law.

You receive permission only for personal, non-commercial Service use. Without our prior written consent, you must not reproduce, distribute, alter, make derivatives from, publicly display or perform, republish, download, store, or transmit Service material. Except for an express permission in these Terms, no patent, trademark, copyright, or other license or right belonging to Universal Yums, Shopify, or a third party is granted or implied. Unauthorized use may violate federal or state law, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Names, logos, designs, slogans, and product or service names of Universal Yums are marks of Universal Yums or its affiliates or licensors and require prior written permission for use. Shopify's corresponding marks belong to Shopify, and all remaining marks belong to their respective owners.

SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

The Services may give access to customer tools supplied by third parties over which we exercise no control, monitoring, or input. Access is offered “as is” and “as available,” without representation, warranty, condition, or endorsement. We bear no liability arising from an optional tool.

Use is entirely at your discretion and risk, and you should first understand and approve the provider's terms. New tools, resources, or features offered later are also part of the Services and are governed by these Terms.

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Third-party materials, websites, hyperlinks, or embedded functions may appear in the Services. We do not examine or evaluate their content or accuracy. Leaving the Services for an outside resource is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for harm or damage connected with access to that site or with buying or using its products, services, resources, or content.

Read the third party's terms, policies, and practices before entering a transaction. Questions, complaints, claims, and concerns about an outside provider should be addressed to that provider.

SECTION 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

[NOTE TO MERCHANT: This section accurately characterizes Shopify's relationship with your store and should not be removed or modified.]

Universal Yums is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. However, any sales and purchases you make in our Store are made directly with Universal Yums. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sales between you and Universal Yums, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with Universal Yums.

SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY

Personal information collected through the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy. Certain information may separately fall under Shopify's Privacy Policy. Using the Services acknowledges that you have read those notices.

Because Shopify hosts the Services, it collects and processes information concerning access and use to furnish and improve them. Information submitted through the Services is transmitted to Shopify and to other parties that may be located outside your country. Our Privacy Policy provides further information about the practices of Universal Yums, Shopify, and relevant partners.

SECTION 11 - FEEDBACK

If you submit, post, upload, email, or otherwise transmit an idea, recommendation, review, proposal, plan, suggestion, or other material (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display that Feedback in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes. The license may support operation, provision, assessment, enhancement, improvement, promotion, and our performance or exercise of rights.

You represent that you own or possess every necessary Feedback right, have disclosed any compensation or incentive connected with it, and comply with these Terms. We need not keep Feedback confidential, pay for it, or respond. At our discretion we may monitor, edit, or remove material we consider unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, otherwise objectionable, or infringing.

Feedback must not violate a third party's copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary right; contain unlawful, abusive, obscene, or libelous matter or malware; use a false email address; impersonate someone else; or mislead anyone about origin. You alone are responsible for Feedback and its accuracy, and we accept no liability for Feedback supplied by you or another party.

SECTION 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS

Service information may occasionally contain a typographical error, inaccuracy, or omission involving product descriptions, prices, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, or availability. We may correct, update, or change the record and may cancel an order when information is inaccurate, at any time and without prior notice, including after submission.

SECTION 13 - PROHIBITED USES

The Services may be used only lawfully. You may not use or access them, directly or indirectly, for an unlawful or malicious purpose; to violate international, federal, provincial, state, or local law or regulation; to infringe our intellectual-property rights or anyone else's; to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, or intimidate an employee or any other person; to communicate false or misleading information; to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use material that does not comply with these Terms; to distribute or arrange advertising or promotional material such as junk mail, chain letters, spam, or similar solicitation; to impersonate or attempt to impersonate a person or entity; or to engage in conduct that restricts another person's use or enjoyment, harms Universal Yums, Shopify, users, or the Services, or exposes them to liability.

You also may not upload or transmit a virus or malicious code affecting Service operation; reproduce, duplicate, copy, extract, sell, resell, or exploit any part of the Services; collect or track another person's information; spam, phish, pharm, or pretext; employ a robot, spider, scraping or data-gathering and extraction tool, automatic device or process, AI or agentic-AI tool, or automated or manual means to access the Services; or interfere with, bypass, or circumvent security or authorization features, robot-exclusion headers, or any control limiting access or interaction. We may suspend, disable, or terminate an account immediately and without notice if we determine that these restrictions were violated.

SECTION 14 - AGENTS

14.1 These Agent Terms govern whenever you use, permit, enable, or cause an Agent to access, use, or interact with a Service. An “Agent” is software or a service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action for, or at the instruction of, a person or entity and can run for or through a person's device without direct supervision.

14.2 An Agent may interact only while identifying itself and continuously meeting section 14.4. It must not interact after we ask it to refrain from accessing, using, or engaging with a Service.

14.3 Technical or other limits may be imposed on whether and how an Agent accesses, uses, or interacts with the Services.

14.4 Every Agent must identify each HTTP or HTTPS request as Agent-originated and disclose its name by including “Agent/[agent name]” in the user-agent string. It must not conceal or obscure automation, including by imitating human conduct or by completing or bypassing a CAPTCHA or another human-versus-computer control. It must answer truthfully when asked whether an interaction comes from a person or a computer and must not circumvent any mechanism intended to block, limit, alter, or control Agent access, use, or interaction.

SECTION 15 - TERMINATION

We may terminate this agreement or all or part of your Service access at our sole discretion, at any time, and without notice. Amounts owed through the termination date remain payable. Provisions concerning Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver and Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy, and any clause that by its nature should survive will remain effective.

SECTION 16 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Material presented through the Services is for general information. We do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, or useful. Reliance is at your own risk, and we disclaim responsibility for reliance by you, another visitor, or anyone who learns of the material.

EXCEPT FOR AN EXPRESS STATEMENT BY UNIVERSAL YUMS, THE SERVICES AND ALL PRODUCTS OFFERED THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR CONDITION. THIS INCLUDES IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS RESTRICT DISCLAIMERS OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES, SO PART OF THIS LANGUAGE MAY NOT APPLY.

SECTION 17 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, UNIVERSAL YUMS, ITS PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS, AND SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM, OR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. COVERED HARM INCLUDES LOST PROFIT, REVENUE, SAVINGS, OR DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, AND COMPARABLE LOSS, WHETHER THE THEORY IS CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE LIMIT APPLIES TO SERVICE USE, PRODUCTS PROCURED THROUGH A SERVICE, CONTENT ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, AND LOSS CONNECTED WITH CONTENT OR PRODUCTS POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE, EVEN WHEN THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE WAS ADVISED.

SECTION 18 - INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Universal Yums, Shopify, and their affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from losses, damages, liabilities, and claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees payable to a third party, that result from your breach of these Terms or incorporated documents, violation of law or third-party rights, or access to and use of the Services.

We will notify you of an indemnifiable claim. A notice delay relieves your obligation only to the extent it materially prejudices you. At your expense, we may control defense and settlement, including selecting counsel, but will not accept a settlement that imposes a non-monetary obligation on you without consent, which must not be unreasonably withheld. You must cooperate, including by supplying relevant records.

SECTION 19 - SEVERABILITY

If a provision is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it remains enforceable to the greatest lawful extent and only the unenforceable portion is severed. The determination does not impair the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

SECTION 20 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

A failure to exercise or enforce a right or provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with policies and operating rules posted on the site or concerning the Service, form the complete agreement between you and us regarding Service use and supersede earlier or contemporaneous oral or written agreements, communications, and proposals, including prior versions of the Terms. An ambiguity will not be interpreted against a party merely because that party drafted the language.

SECTION 21 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not delegate, transfer, or assign this agreement or any right or obligation under it without our prior written consent; an attempted transfer without consent is void. We may transfer, delegate, or assign the Terms and our rights and obligations without notice or consent.

SECTION 22 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any separate agreement through which we provide Services are governed and construed according to the federal and state or territorial courts in the jurisdiction where Universal Yums is headquartered. You and Universal Yums consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

SECTION 23 - HEADINGS

Section headings are included only for convenience and do not limit or otherwise change these Terms.

SECTION 24 - CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

The latest Terms can be reviewed on this page at any time. We may, in our sole discretion, update, change, or replace a portion by posting the revision to the website, and you are responsible for checking periodically. Notice of a material change will be given as applicable law requires and will state its effective date. Continuing to access or use the Services after the posting takes effect constitutes acceptance.
