Terms of service

Welcome to Course Theory. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Course Theory.

Course Theory operates this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services offered through the site (collectively, the “Services”). Our store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein, describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information regarding your legal rights, purchases, warranties, limitations of liability, and other matters.

By visiting, accessing, interacting with, or purchasing through the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Services.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or jurisdiction of residence, or that you have the permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

To access certain features or make purchases, you may be asked to provide information including your name, email address, billing information, payment information, and shipping address.

You agree that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for activities conducted through your account.

You may not transfer, sell, assign, or provide your account credentials to another person without our permission.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS

Course Theory offers apparel, accessories, and other merchandise, including products that may be produced on demand after an order is placed.

We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, photographs, colors, sizing information, and other details as accurately as possible. However, colors and appearance may vary depending on your device, screen settings, manufacturing process, printing method, or other factors.

Because many Course Theory products are made to order, minor variations in placement, color, print appearance, or finished product may occur and are not necessarily considered defects.

Sizing information is provided as a guide. Customers are responsible for reviewing available sizing information before placing an order.

Product descriptions, pricing, availability, designs, and specifications may be changed at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to discontinue products or limit quantities available to any customer, geographic region, or jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS

When you submit an order, you are making an offer to purchase the products listed in that order.

We reserve the right to accept, decline, or cancel an order where permitted by law, including in cases involving suspected fraud, pricing errors, product availability, payment issues, or other legitimate business reasons.

Your order is accepted when we confirm the order and successfully process your payment.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it.

Because many Course Theory products are made to order and production may begin shortly after an order is placed, we cannot guarantee that an order can be modified or canceled after it has entered production.

If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, we will issue an appropriate refund.

Purchases are also subject to our Refund and Return Policy.

Products purchased from Course Theory are intended for personal or household use unless otherwise agreed in writing.

SECTION 4 — PRICES, PAYMENTS, AND BILLING

Product prices, discounts, promotions, and availability may change without notice.

The price charged will be the price displayed and confirmed at the time your order is placed, subject to correction of obvious errors where permitted by law.

Unless otherwise stated, listed prices may not include applicable taxes, shipping charges, customs duties, import fees, or other charges that may apply.

Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate payment, billing, and contact information.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order.

You authorize us and our payment processors to charge the applicable purchase amount, including taxes and shipping charges, to your selected payment method.

SECTION 5 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping and delivery timeframes shown on our website are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

Because Course Theory products may be manufactured after an order is placed, total delivery time may include both production time and carrier transit time.

We are not responsible for carrier delays, customs delays, severe weather, natural disasters, labor disruptions, incorrect shipping information supplied by the customer, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

However, nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law.

For orders subject to United States law, we will comply with applicable federal requirements concerning promised shipping times, delays, cancellations, and refunds. If we are unable to ship within the timeframe represented to you, we may be required to notify you and provide the option to consent to the delay or cancel for a refund.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete delivery address.

Additional information regarding shipping is available in our Shipping Policy.

SECTION 6 — RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND EXCHANGES

Returns, refunds, replacements, and exchanges are governed by our Refund and Return Policy.

Because many Course Theory products are made to order, we generally do not accept returns or exchanges resulting solely from incorrect size or color selections, buyer’s remorse, or changes of mind, except where required by applicable law.

If an item arrives damaged, defective, misprinted, or incorrect, customers should contact us promptly at:

support@coursetheoryshop.com

Nothing in our Refund and Return Policy or these Terms limits consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

SECTION 7 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Services and their contents, including trademarks, names, logos, graphics, photographs, designs, product artwork, text, videos, and other content, are owned by Course Theory, our licensors, or applicable third parties and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may use the Services for personal and noncommercial purposes only.

Unless expressly authorized in writing, you may not reproduce, copy, modify, distribute, sell, republish, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Course Theory content.

The Course Theory name, logos, designs, slogans, and other brand elements may not be used without our prior written permission.

Shopify’s trademarks and intellectual property remain the property of Shopify and its licensors.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

SECTION 8 — OPTIONAL TOOLS AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES

We may provide access to tools, applications, payment services, fulfillment providers, integrations, or other services operated by third parties.

We do not control all aspects of these third party services and are not responsible for their independent actions, policies, availability, or content.

Your use of third party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

Use of such services is at your discretion and subject to applicable law.

SECTION 9 — THIRD PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain links to websites, services, or resources operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for third party content, policies, products, services, or business practices.

You should review the applicable terms and privacy policies before interacting with third party services.

SECTION 10 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

Course Theory is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

However, purchases made through the Course Theory store are transactions directly between you and Course Theory.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that Shopify is not the seller of Course Theory products and is not responsible for losses, injuries, damages, or claims resulting from products purchased from Course Theory, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

SECTION 11 — PRIVACY

Personal information collected through the Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Because our store is hosted by Shopify, Shopify may collect and process certain personal information relating to your access to and use of the Services.

Information may also be shared with service providers necessary to operate the store, process payments, fulfill orders, provide customer service, prevent fraud, and perform other legitimate business functions.

Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information regarding how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

SECTION 12 — FEEDBACK, REVIEWS, AND USER CONTENT

If you submit reviews, photographs, comments, ideas, suggestions, or other content to us, you represent that you have the right to provide that content.

You grant Course Theory a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt, and publish that content for legitimate business purposes, including operating and promoting Course Theory, subject to applicable law.

You may not submit content that infringes another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.

You may not submit unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, obscene, abusive, malicious, or fraudulent content.

We reserve the right to remove or moderate submitted content where appropriate.

SECTION 13 — ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

The Services may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product information, pricing, promotions, availability, shipping, or other content.

We reserve the right to correct such information and, where legally permitted, modify or cancel affected orders.

Nothing in this section limits rights provided to consumers under applicable law.

SECTION 14 — PROHIBITED USES

You may use the Services only for lawful purposes.

You may not use the Services to:

• Violate any law or regulation
• Infringe intellectual property or other legal rights
• Engage in fraud, deception, harassment, abuse, or harmful conduct
• Introduce viruses, malware, or malicious code
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or accounts
• Interfere with the security or operation of the Services
• Collect personal information without authorization
• Send spam, phishing messages, or other unauthorized communications
• Impersonate another person or organization
• Scrape, copy, extract, or commercially exploit store content without authorization
• Circumvent technical or security measures used by Course Theory, Shopify, or our service providers

We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

SECTION 15 — TERMINATION

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services where permitted by law, including for violations of these Terms, fraudulent activity, security threats, or misuse of the Services.

Termination does not eliminate obligations incurred before termination.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.

SECTION 16 — DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ERROR FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE APPLY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON INFRINGEMENT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED.

SECTION 17 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COURSE THEORY AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

OUR LIABILITY WILL NOT BE LIMITED WHERE SUCH LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY FOR MATTERS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED.

SECTION 18 — INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Course Theory and our affiliates, owners, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from third party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from:

Your material breach of these Terms
Your unlawful use of the Services
Your violation of another person’s rights

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct or negligence where liability cannot legally be excluded.

SECTION 19 — SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and, where necessary, severed from these Terms.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

SECTION 20 — WAIVER AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Refund and Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between you and Course Theory regarding your use of the Services.

SECTION 21 — ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a sale, merger, restructuring, transfer of assets, or other legitimate business transaction, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 22 — GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any dispute arising from the Services will be governed by the laws applicable in the state and jurisdiction where Course Theory is headquartered, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of protections or legal remedies that cannot be waived under the laws applicable to that consumer.

SECTION 23 — CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time.

The most current version will be available on this page.

If required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate notice of material changes.

Changes will become effective on the date stated in the updated Terms.
