The terms and conditions set out below, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), outline your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and cover areas including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We have taken every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services across our online stores. However, the colors or appearance of our products may differ from what is displayed on your screen, due to the type of device you use to access the store, as well as your device's individual settings and configuration.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any products or services you purchase will meet your expectations, or will match the versions presented or displayed on our online store.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without prior notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time, and we may limit the quantities of any products we offer to any individual, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are submitting a purchase offer. Almare reserves the right to accept or reject your orders for any reason, at its sole discretion. Your orders will not be considered accepted until Almare confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before we can accept your order. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Almare may be unable to fulfill cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we decline, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number you provided when you placed your order.
Your purchases are eligible for return or exchange exclusively in accordance with our Refund Policy. 
You declare and warrant that your purchases are intended for your personal or household use, and not for commercial resale or export.

Prices listed on our online stores may differ from prices offered at physical stores, or on other online or physical stores operated by third parties. Occasionally, we may offer promotions through our Services that can affect pricing, and these promotions are governed by separate terms and conditions that differ from these present Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion’s terms will take precedence.
