1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of blinkstore.com and related services (collectively, "Site"). By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, Return Policy, and any other policies referenced herein, all of which are incorporated by reference.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting revised Terms on the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. We may also, in our sole discretion, limit access to the Site or any features thereof, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and without notice.
2. Eligibility and Account
The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. By using the Site, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion without notice or liability.
We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for any reason or no reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms.
3. Products, Pricing, and Availability
All products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to discontinue any product, modify specifications, limit quantities, or change prices at any time without notice. Product descriptions, images, and specifications are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute warranties of any kind. Actual products may vary from images shown.
We make reasonable efforts to display accurate pricing but errors may occur. If a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders for that product, even if the order has been confirmed and your payment method charged. In such cases, we will refund the charged amount, but shall have no further liability.
Promotional offers, discounts, and coupons are subject to additional terms and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. We reserve the right to void orders or revoke discounts applied in error or through abuse.
All prices are in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or fees, which will be calculated based on factors we determine in our sole discretion.
4. Orders and Payment
Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Order confirmation does not constitute acceptance; acceptance occurs when the product is shipped. We may accept or reject orders at our discretion. We reserve the right to limit quantities, refuse orders, require verification, or cancel orders after acceptance, including for suspected fraud, suspected reseller activity, or for any other reason.
By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method. We may verify information before accepting orders and may delay shipment pending verification. You authorize us to charge the total amount, including any applicable taxes and fees.
We may use third-party payment processors. Your use of such services is subject to their terms. We are not responsible for errors, delays, or issues arising from third-party payment services.
5. Shipping and Delivery
Shipping terms are described in our Shipping Policy. Delivery estimates are approximate only and do not constitute guarantees. We are not liable for delays due to carriers, customs, weather, or circumstances beyond our control.
Risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon tender to the carrier. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged shipments after handoff to the carrier, though we may, at our discretion, assist with carrier claims.
6. Returns and Refunds
Returns are subject to our Return Policy. By making a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of the Return Policy. We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not comply with the Return Policy and to modify the Return Policy at any time.
