Terms of service
OVERVIEW
Welcome to art-rudolf! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Studio Rudolf. Studio Rudolf operates this shop and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, the customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”). art-rudolf is built on Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services.
These terms and conditions, together with the policies referenced herein (these “Terms and Conditions” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and cover topics such as disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you may not use or access our Services.
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are of legal age in the state or region where you reside and that you have given us permission to allow your minor dependents to use the Services on devices that you own, have purchased, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or navigating our online stores or purchasing products or services we offer, you may be required to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information provided to our stores is accurate, current, and complete and that you are fully authorized to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
We have made efforts to display our products and services in our online stores as accurately as possible. However, colors or product appearance may vary depending on your device and its settings.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or match the representations in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time at our sole discretion without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue products at any time and to limit the quantities of products offered to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction.
SECTION 3 – ORDERS
By placing an order, you are making an offer to purchase. art-rudolf reserves the right to accept or decline your order at its discretion for any reason. Your order is only considered accepted upon confirmation by art-rudolf. Acceptance is contingent upon receipt and processing of your payment.
Please carefully review your order before submission, as cancellation requests may not be accommodated after acceptance. If an order is not accepted, changed, or canceled, we will attempt to notify you via the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided during the order.
Returns or exchanges are handled in accordance with our Right of Withdrawal [LINK].
You represent that your purchases are for personal or household use only, not for commercial resale or export.
SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service is the price at the time of order confirmation, which will be reflected in your email confirmation. Unless otherwise stated, prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs, or import duties.
Prices displayed in our online stores may differ from those in physical stores or other online stores operated by third parties. Promotional offers may affect pricing and may be subject to terms different from these Terms. In case of a conflict between promotional terms and these Terms, the promotional terms prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases in our stores. You agree to update your account information, including email address, credit card numbers, and expiration dates, promptly to complete transactions and contact you if necessary.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is truthful, correct, and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card; (iii) the costs incurred will be covered by your credit card issuer; and (iv) you will pay all costs, including shipping, handling fees, and taxes.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not liable for shipping or delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events beyond our control. Risk of loss and ownership of products passes to you once we hand them over to the carrier.
SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, logos, text, images, graphics, product reviews, video and audio files, and their selection and arrangement, are the property of art-rudolf, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. and foreign intellectual property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Services solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. Without prior written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit materials from the Services.
The names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans of art-rudolf are trademarks of art-rudolf or its affiliates or licensors. You may not use these trademarks without prior written consent. Shopify names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.
SECTION 7 – OPTIONAL TOOLS
You may have access to customer tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we do not monitor, control, or influence.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without endorsing them. We disclaim any liability arising from the use of optional third-party tools or related to them.
Use of the optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting the terms under which the tools are provided by the respective third-party providers.
We may also offer new features in the future through the Services (including the release of new tools and resources). Such new features are also considered part of the Services and are subject to these Terms.
SECTION 8 – THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including embedded third-party features). We are not responsible for the content or accuracy of materials or websites of third parties you access at your discretion.
If you choose to leave the Services to access such materials or third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not liable for damages or losses caused by your access to third-party websites or by the purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content on third-party websites. You should carefully review the policies and procedures of the third party and ensure you understand them before conducting any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the respective third party.
SECTION 9 – RELATIONSHIP TO SHOPIFY
[NOTE FOR MERCHANTS: This section accurately describes Shopify’s relationship to your store and should not be removed or modified.]
art-rudolf is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services. All sales and purchases you make in our shop, however, are completed directly with art-rudolf. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspects of the transactions between you and art-rudolf, including any injury, damage, or loss arising from purchased products or services. You hereby release Shopify and its affiliates from all liability for any claims, damages, or obligations arising from your purchases or transactions with art-rudolf.
SECTION 10 – PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information we collect through the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here. Certain personal data may also be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you confirm that you have read these privacy policies.

Data you submit to the Services may be transferred to Shopify and third-party providers, which may be located in countries other than your country of residence, to provide the Services. More information about how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that your Feedback does not violate any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further represent that your Feedback contains no defamatory or otherwise unlawful, abusive, or obscene statements and is free of viruses or other malware that may harm the operation of the Services or any related website.

SECTION 15 – DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The information provided in or through the Services is for general informational purposes only.

Unless explicitly stated by art-rudolf, the Services and all products offered through the Services are provided “as is” and “as available” for your use, without any express or implied warranties or conditions of any kind, including but not limited to implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, ownership, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee or warrant that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you.
SECTION 16 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by law, art-rudolf, our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, licensors, or those of Shopify and its affiliates shall not be liable for any damages, losses, claims, or direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or similar damages, whether arising under contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, resulting from your use of the Services or products obtained through the Services, including but not limited to errors or omissions in content or losses or damages of any kind arising from the use of Services or content (or products) published, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

-
Your violation of these Terms or the documents they reference;
-
Your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or
-
Your access to and use of the Services.
We will notify you of any indemnifiable claims, provided that failure to promptly notify does not relieve you of your obligations, unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claims at your expense, including choosing legal counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations by you without your consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld). You agree to cooperate in the defense of indemnification claims, including providing relevant documentation.
SECTION 18 – SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall remain effective to the maximum extent permissible by law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
SECTION 19 – WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms, together with any policies or operating rules posted by us on this website or in relation to the Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of the Services. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and understandings, whether oral or written, between you and us (including but not limited to previous versions of these Terms).
Ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the party who drafted them.
