Unless otherwise stated, Salty Life Merch and/or its licensors own all intellectual property rights in the materials on the Website, including designs, text, graphics, logos, and product images. All rights are reserved.

• Copy, republish, reproduce, duplicate, or redistribute any material;

• Sell, rent, sub-license, or commercially exploit any material;

• Modify or create derivative works based on the materials;

This license begins upon your first access and ends if you violate these Terms.

5. User Comments and Content

Certain areas of the Website may allow you to post comments, reviews, or other content ("User Content"). We do not pre-screen or endorse User Content, which reflects the views of the poster only.

By posting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute it in any media.

6. Orders and Payment

Placing an item in your cart does not create a binding order. A contract forms only when we send you an order confirmation email after processing payment and acceptance.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders (e.g., due to pricing errors, shipping issues, stock issues, suspected fraud, or non-compliance with these Terms). All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and exclude applicable taxes (e.g., HST) and shipping unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, or fees.

We accept major credit cards and other methods via our payment processor(s). Payment is charged at checkout in CAD. All transactions are secure, but we are not liable for third-party processor issues.

7. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping details (costs, methods, estimated times, carriers) are provided at checkout and in our [Shipping Policy]. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the carrier.

We are not responsible for delays, customs duties (international orders), or lost/damaged packages after handover to the carrier—file claims directly with the carrier. Title passes upon full payment.

8. Returns, Refunds, and Exchanges

See our separate [Returns and Refunds Policy] for full details, which complies with applicable consumer protection laws. Generally:

• Returns accepted within 30 days of delivery for unused items in original condition/packaging.

• You may be responsible for return shipping unless the item is defective/damaged.

• Refunds issued to original payment method in CAD (processing time varies).

• Exceptions may apply for final sale items, personalized/custom products, or hygiene-related goods.

We reserve the right to deny returns that do not meet policy terms. Certain rights (e.g., cancellation) may apply under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act.

Government agencies, search engines, news organizations, and similar may link to our homepage without approval, provided the link is not deceptive and does not imply endorsement.
