Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "these Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between Ever After: A Consignment Boutique (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "the Company") and all website visitors, registered users, and purchasing customers (hereinafter referred to as "you"). This agreement governs all access, browsing, inquiries, and purchases regarding women's dresses on our official website. These Terms comply with U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and Connecticut consumer laws, regulating all commercial transactions and website usage. By accessing this website, placing an order, or completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and unconditionally accepted all the terms set forth below.

1. General Rules for Website Use

This website and all displayed dress content are intended solely for personal, non-commercial consumer use. You agree not to copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or exploit any images, dress designs, product descriptions, or platform features for commercial purposes without our written authorization. Unauthorized commercial use, malicious cyber-attacks, data scraping, or disruptive activities that interfere with the website's normal operation are strictly prohibited.

2. Accounts and User Eligibility

All customers purchasing our dresses must be at least 18 years of age or have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. When creating an account or placing an order, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date personal and shipping information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all orders placed through your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for accounts containing false information, exhibiting abnormal ordering behavior, or suspected of malicious transactions.

3. Product Information and Pricing Accuracy

We strive to display accurate details for all dresses, including style images, fabric descriptions, size charts, color representations, and pricing information. All product prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD). Due to factors such as monitor color variations, lighting angles during photography, and manual measurement tolerances, minor visual or dimensional differences do not constitute product defects or valid grounds for dispute.

In the event of obvious system errors, incorrect price displays, or anomalies in product information updates, we reserve the right to cancel the affected order, correct the error, and notify the customer promptly, even if payment has already been processed.

4. Order Confirmation and Transaction Terms

Completing the online checkout and payment constitutes a binding order contract. Upon order confirmation, we will arrange the packaging and delivery of the dress in strict accordance with our processing and shipping procedures. To protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties, we reserve the right to verify order information, conduct anti-fraud reviews, and refuse or suspend high-risk orders.

5. Payment

All online payments must be completed through our officially authorized payment channels. No hidden fees or additional service charges apply.

6. Shipping, Delivery, and Transfer of Risk

We provide shipping services within the United States. All shipping arrangements are subject to our official Shipping Policy. Ownership of the product and the associated risk of loss transfer to the customer once the package is handed over to the carrier and dispatched. We are not liable for shipping delays, loss in transit, or package damage caused by carrier negligence, force majeure, or uncontrollable external circumstances.

7. Returns, Refunds, and After-Sales Policy

All matters regarding the return and refund of dresses are handled strictly in accordance with our separate Refund and Return Policy. Return requests must comply with the 30-day return window, product condition standards (suitable for resale), and the officially authorized process. We handle defective products, shipping errors, and quality issues in compliance with U.S. consumer protection laws to ensure customers receive their statutory after-sales rights.

8. Intellectual Property Protection

All text, actual product photos of the dresses, design copy, brand logos, and page layout designs on the website are protected by U.S. intellectual property laws. Users may not copy, download, reproduce, resell, or use our copyrighted content for commercial purposes without express written permission. We will pursue legal action against any infringement of intellectual property rights.

9. Third-Party Platform Disclaimer

Our website may collaborate with third-party payment processors, logistics providers, and technical service platforms to fulfill orders; however, we assume no legal liability for the services provided by these third-party platforms. We are not legally responsible for the service terms, privacy policies, or operational errors of third-party platforms. All third-party collaborations are limited to order fulfillment support and do not constitute brand authorization or endorsement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by U.S. law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, loss of anticipated profits, or emotional distress arising from website access issues, order delays, or problems related to product use. In the event of a dispute regarding an order, our maximum liability shall not exceed the actual amount paid for the specific clothing order.

11. Policy Revisions and Updates

We reserve the right to adjust, revise, and update these terms and conditions in response to changes in industry operations or U.S. legal requirements. Updated terms shall become effective immediately upon posting on the official website. Continued use of the website and placement of orders following such updates constitute your acceptance of the revised terms.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Connecticut. Any transaction disputes or service disagreements arising from the purchase of dresses or the use of the website shall first be resolved through amicable negotiation between the parties. If a resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, the dispute shall be submitted to the local judicial authorities in Connecticut for resolution.
