Store use

Use of the website

You may use the site for lawful shopping and browsing purposes. You may not use it for fraud, unauthorized access, interference with site operation, distributing malicious software, impersonation, abuse of promotions, or any use that infringes the rights of others. See Prohibited use.

License to use the site

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to access and use the site for its intended purpose. You may not reproduce, copy, modify, sell, or commercially exploit site content without written permission.

Website availability

The website may occasionally be updated, modified, interrupted, or temporarily unavailable. Uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.

04

Products

Product information

We work to present product descriptions, images, colors, measurements, and specifications as accurately as reasonably possible. Screen settings, lighting, manufacturing variation, wash variation, and fabric characteristics may create minor differences.

Availability

Products are subject to availability and may sell out, be withdrawn, restocked, archived, or otherwise become unavailable without advance notice. Restocks are not guaranteed. If an inventory error affects your order, the order may need to be adjusted or canceled, and you will be contacted.

Product status

Active
Available for purchase.
Preorder
Available for purchase before standard fulfillment.
Sold out
Current inventory unavailable.
Archived
Retained as part of the brand record but not currently available for standard purchase. See the Archive.

Errors + corrections

We may correct typographical errors and inaccurate product information, pricing, availability, or other site information when identified, subject to applicable law.

05

Orders

Placing an order is an offer to purchase. Orders are subject to acceptance, and an order confirmation does not necessarily mean the order has been fulfilled.

An order may need to be canceled where necessary, for example because of an inventory error, payment failure, fraud review, pricing error, legal restriction, or shipping limitation. [CANCELLATION TERMS — legally reviewed; match Shipping Policy]

Order accuracy

Please review the product, size, color, quantity, shipping address, and billing information before submitting your order. Changes after submission are not guaranteed.

06

Pricing

Prices may change. The price shown at checkout applies to your transaction. Taxes and shipping may be additional where applicable. If a pricing error is identified, it may be corrected [PRICING-ERROR LANGUAGE — legally reviewed].

Taxes

Applicable taxes may be calculated and collected based on shipping destination, transaction type, and legal requirements. International orders may be subject to separate duties.

View shipping policy →

07

Payments

Payment processing is handled through Shopify and approved payment providers [ACTIVE PAYMENT PROVIDERS]. By placing an order, you authorize the applicable payment method to be charged for the purchase amount. FAMILY OF FAILURES generally does not receive or store complete payment card details.

Payment authorization

Orders may be subject to payment authorization and may fail or require review. Fraud-prevention tools may be used. Please provide accurate billing information.

Fraud

Fraudulent transactions or misuse may be declined, canceled, reviewed, or reported where appropriate.

Payment questions

If you believe an order, refund, or charge is incorrect, please contact support first so the transaction can be reviewed and, where possible, resolved directly. This does not waive any of your legal rights.
