The scope of Services provided by Kin Custom are limited to those enumerated in this Section.

       

      2. ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE KIN CUSTOM PLATFORM

      To access the Kin Custom Platform, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. You do not have to create a user account if you wish to explore the Kin Custom Platform. However, you will be unable to use the Services for any Products made available on the Kin Custom Platform, as such capabilities are restricted without the creation and usage of a user account.

      You will be asked to provide certain registration details or other information prior to your use of the Kin Custom Platform. It is a condition of your use of the Kin Custom Platform that all the information you provide will be correct, current, accurate and complete. If Kin Custom believes the information you provide is not correct, current, accurate or complete, Kin Custom has the right to deny, terminate and/or suspend your access to the Kin Custom Platform, or to any of its resources, at any time without notice to you. Any termination or suspension shall also result in the termination of any and all Products you have created and placed for order with Kin Custom. Unless required by law, Kin Custom is not obligated to save any of your designs or customizations on the Kin Custom Platform upon the suspension or termination of your account. Kin Custom assumes no responsibility for your inability to create, design, customize, purchase or ship your Product in the event your account is suspended or terminated.

      You are responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and any information provided in order to create or maintain it (i.e. username, passwords and/or passcodes). You must immediately notify Kin Custom if your password or account has been lost, stolen, misappropriated, compromised or subject to unauthorized use. From time to time, Kin Custom may require that you change your password.

      You are prohibited from using the Kin Custom Platform to compromise security or tamper with system resources and/or accounts. The use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security (e.g., password crackers, rootkits, Trojan horses, or network probing tools) is strictly prohibited. If you become involved in any violation of system security, Kin Custom reserves the right to release your account details to the system administrators of other websites and/or the authorities in order to assist them in resolving security incidents. Kin Custom reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Agreement. Kin Custom reserves the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing Kin Custom to disclose the identity of anyone posting any e-mail messages, or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate this Agreement.

       

      3. PRODUCT CREATION

      Kin Custom reserves the right, in its sole and independent discretion, to deny any design on any item made by you or made through your user account, for any reason.

      The Kin Custom Platform enables users to customize designs on a variety of Products, which the user may later purchase. Any design, creation or customization made by a user shall be the intellectual property of the user to which the user grants a limited license to as set forth in Section 13.1 of these terms. 

      By using the Services for a Product, you represent and warrant:

      • That you are the owner or licensee of all trademark rights, copyrights, rights of publicity and other intellectual property, which are necessary for the lawful creation of such design or customization of the Product. Such rights include the rights to any name, slogan, design, phrase, description, images, or other text to be used or incorporated into your design or customization.
      • That your creation, design or customization does not contain material or content that discriminates against, defames, vilifies, harasses, or intends to discriminate, defame, vilify or harass anyone  on the basis of their race, national origin, religion, gender, physical or mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation or age, or otherwise engage in abusive or disruptive behavior.
      • That your creation, design or customization does not contain material or content that is violent, harmful, indecent, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive or pornographic in nature.
      • That your creation, design or customization does not contain material or content that is misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, or intends to be misleading, deceptive or fraudulent.

      Kin Custom has the right to review, in its sole discretion, any and all creations, designs or customizations made by any and all Users. Further, Kin Custom operates under a zero tolerance policy when in violation and may, in its sole discretion, remove or reject any designs, customizations or creations by any and all Users, cancel or terminate any orders or accounts, and report any and all Users to proper authorities who Kin Custom believes, in its sole discretion, to be in violation of this Agreement or applicable laws, or otherwise. Accounts in violation are not eligible for a new account and will be revoked. Orders in violation will be issued an immediate refund and account termination.

      You are solely responsible for ensuring any Product does not infringe on any third-party rights. Kin Custom has no duty to confirm your design is lawfully created, nor is it responsible for any third-party claims against You, whether under applicable intellectual property laws, or otherwise.

       

      4. ORDERING AND SHIPMENT OF A PRODUCT

      By creating, designing, or customizing a Product you are not obligated to order. Products you wish to revisit later to order may be saved in your User account or shopping cart. However, any creations, customizations or designs not ordered and instead saved in your User account or shopping cart may be removed and/or deleted by Kin Custom at any time, at its sole discretion. Kin Custom bears no responsibility for any damages or losses attributed to the cancelation or removal of a creation, design or customization of a Product that you have not ordered.

      By placing an order through the Kin Custom Platform, it will be considered that you have made a binding offer for the creation and purchase of the particular Product. In order to make such a purchase you will be required to submit payment information, which may include, without limitation: credit card information, debit card information, shipping address, billing address, full name and any other information Kin Custom believes to be necessary to ensure all information necessary to ensure complete, accepted and processed payment for and shipment of the Product are proper.

      Upon order of a Product and a complete transaction, you will be sent a confirmation email. This confirmation email is not an acceptance of your offer, but instead acknowledges Kin Custom’s receipt of your order.

      Kin Custom cannot guarantee the availability of a particular Product you have ordered, despite your ability to submit an order. In the event an order has been submitted and paid for that is not available at the time of order, your Product will be placed on back-order until such time your order can be fulfilled. All sales to you by Kin Custom are final as set forth in Section 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

      Once your order is processed through the Kin Custom Platform and accepted by Kin Custom for creation, you will receive an additional email informing you of the timeline in which your ordered Product will be ready for shipment (“Order Approval”). Depending on the complexity of your design and the amount of orders being processed, Kin Custom may delay the creation and shipment of your ordered Product, in which case Kin Custom will notify you of such delays and expected completion and shipment dates, respectively. Kin Custom may include API tracking capabilities dependent on the type of shipment method you select. Kin Custom is not responsible for any miscalculations associated with any shipment method’s shipment timeline, whether provided to you through the use of such API tracking capabilities on the Kin Custom Platform or any other means (including, but not limited to emails sent to you by Kin Custom regarding your shipment timeline).

      Kin Custom cannot guarantee the adherence to any timeline and any timeline provided in any Order Approval is an estimation of the time it will take to complete and ship your ordered Product. Kin Custom bears no responsibility for any damages or losses suffered as a result of the arrival or delay of arrival of your ordered Product.

      Kin Custom reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any order for any reason at any time without advance notice to you.

      You may be provided with various options to ship your ordered Product. Kin Custom bears no responsibility for any and all shipping carrier’s inability to ship your ordered Product. Further, Kin Custom may, in its sole discretion, select a different shipping carrier on your behalf. You will bear the cost of any shipping costs and fees associated with your selected method of shipment or shipping carrier.

      Title to any Product on the Kin Custom Platform shall remain with Kin Custom until payment for such Product has been received and the Product has been placed with the shipping carrier. Thereafter, title and risk of loss for all Products ordered by you will pass to you, upon receipt of full payment and your ordered Product to the shipping carrier.

      If the order has already been shipped it is your responsibility to contact the carrier to make necessary address updates (if applicable). Economy/Standard packages will not be able to change the address once it's submitted. If the package is not able to be delivered successfully due to an address error, the customer may contact the carrier to arrange for delivery. Otherwise, the customer may risk the package being destroyed by the carrier. If the carrier will not take possession of the package due to incorrect or incomplete address, Kin Custom will attempt to notify the customer via email. Customers have 14 days from the date of notification to respond with a verified address, additional fees may incur which will be due in advanced of reshipment. If no response is received within 14 days, Kin Custom reserves the right to destroy the merchandise and the order will not qualify for a refund.

      Kin Custom reserves the right to administer a minimum order quantity (“MOQ”) on any Product made available through the Kin Custom Platform.

      Shipments may encounter custom duty fees. The fees are based on the destination and the regulations the country being shipped to.  Different countries have import procedures which is determined by its custom’s law in the destination country, not Kin Custom or the carrier. 

      Typically, the type of goods shipped and the value of that good are factors determining custom duties and taxes. Ultimately, the end customer will be responsible for paying the customs duty. As a shop owner, when setting your retail price it's important to keep in mind many custom fees are charged based on the retail price of the good. It's recommended to share this may be an unexpected cost to your customers and to include on your checkout page before the transaction is made.

       

      5. RETURNS 

      In the event your product or your customers product is damaged or defective, please submit a Return Form within thirty (30) days of delivery of the damaged or defective product and you must provide reasonable proof to us of such damage or defect. Kin Custom will promptly review your correspondence in order to determine whether such damage or defect warrants a refund. Kin Custom will inform you of its decision to approve or deny your request with an explanation of its decision in accordance with our Quality Guarantee Policy.

      Should the return be considered a defect, Kin Custom reserves the right to investigate and conduct a thorough analysis of the defect, which may include sending the defective merchandise to Kin Custom before a decision can be made. For defective products, Kin Custom will offer a pre-paid shipping label and the merchandise must be shipped within seven (7) days of the issued pre-paid label date. Failure to send back the merchandise within seven (7) days of receiving the shipping label will disqualify the order from the review process and a refund will not be issued. Kin Custom will not honor defect requests which are attributed to your customers size concerns or design flaws, which may include: spelling, grammatical, font, design, or appearance errors, if such errors are attributed to your submitted creation, design or customization.

       

      6. MODIFICATION & CANCELLATION REQUESTS; ALL PURCHASES FINAL

      Due to the customized nature of the Products you have ordered, no modifications or cancellations are accepted after an order has been submitted. This also includes the shipping method selected at checkout. Your order shall be non-refundable and final, and no modification requests will be honored or permitted. The price of each Product ordered considers the type of design and customization you have incorporated into the Product, thus no modifications are permitted as any modifications would result in a discrepancy between the purchase price and the actual cost of the Product.

      You acknowledge and agree that ordered Products produced by us for you are custom goods. In any scenario other than where a Product is defective or damaged pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, you have no right to cancel any order or return any Products and all orders, once accepted by Kin Custom, are final.
