TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: 25/11/2025

OVERVIEW

Welcome to The Sardinian Minestrone! The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to The Sardinian Minestrone. The Sardinian Minestrone operates this shop and website, including all information, content, features, tools, products, and services, in order to provide you—the customer—with an appropriate shopping experience (the “Services”). The Sardinian Minestrone is supported by Shopify, which enables us to provide you with the Services.

The following terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced within them (“Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information regarding your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not use or access our Services.


SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By accepting these Terms of Service, you represent that you are of legal age in your state or province of residence, and that you have given us your consent to allow any minors under your responsibility to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services—including browsing the online shop or purchasing products and services—you may be required to provide certain information such as email address, billing information, payment details, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you possess all necessary rights to provide such information.

You are responsible for all activity on your account and for keeping your account credentials secure. You must not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.


SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS

We strive to present accurate information about our products and services on our online store. However, product appearance and colors may vary depending on the device and its settings or configuration.

We cannot guarantee that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or be identical to what is described or displayed in our online store.

All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without notice and at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit the quantities of products offered to any individual, geographic region, or jurisdiction.


SECTION 3 – ORDERS

When you place an order, you submit an offer to purchase. The Sardinian Minestrone reserves the right to accept or reject your order at its discretion for any reason. Your order is not confirmed until The Sardinian Minestrone accepts it. Before accepting an order, we must receive and process payment. Please carefully review your order before submitting it, as The Sardinian Minestrone may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests once the order has been accepted. In case of refusal, modification, or cancellation of an order, we will notify you using the email, billing address, and/or phone number provided when the order was placed.

Your purchases are eligible for return or exchange only in accordance with our Refund Policy [LINK].

You represent and warrant that you are purchasing items for personal or household use and not for resale or export.


SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and offers are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is submitted and will be listed in the order confirmation email. Unless otherwise specified, published prices do not include taxes, duties, shipping, handling, or import fees.

Prices published in our online shop may differ from prices offered in physical stores or online through third-party retailers. From time to time, we may offer promotions on the Services that affect pricing and are subject to independent terms and conditions. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will prevail.

For all purchases made in our online store, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete purchase, payment, and account information. You agree to update your account and other information promptly, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so we can complete your transactions and contact you if necessary.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct, and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use that credit card; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred by you at posted prices, including shipping and handling fees and applicable taxes.


SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We are not responsible for delays in shipping or delivery. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs procedures, or events outside our control. Once products are transferred to the carrier, ownership and risk of loss pass to you.


SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services—including but not limited to trademarks, branding, text, visual content, images, graphics, product reviews, videos, and audio, as well as the design, selection, and arrangement thereof—are the property of The Sardinian Minestrone or its affiliates or licensors, and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

These Terms allow you to use the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display or perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material related to the Services without our written permission.

Except as expressly stated, nothing within these Terms grants or shall be construed as granting any license or rights to any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of The Sardinian Minestrone, Shopify, or third parties. Unauthorized use of the Services may violate intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by The Sardinian Minestrone.

You may have access to third-party customer tools as part of the Services, which we do not monitor, control, or influence.

You understand and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations, or conditions and without endorsement. We have no liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.

Your use of optional third-party tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you must ensure that you understand and agree to the terms on which such tools are provided by the relevant third parties.

We may also offer new features in the future (including new tools and resources). Such new features will be considered part of the Services and subject to these Terms of Service.

If you decide to leave the Services to access such third-party materials or sites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not responsible for issues or damages arising from your access to third-party websites, or from your purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content from third-party websites. Please carefully read the policies and practices of such third parties before engaging in any transaction. Any complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the respective third parties.

The information presented in or through the Services is made available solely for general informational purposes. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability arising from reliance on such materials by you, by any visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of such content.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED BY THE SARDINIAN MINESTRONE, THE SERVICES AND ALL PRODUCTS OFFERED THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Some jurisdictions may limit or prohibit the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you.


SECTION 16 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SARDINIAN MINESTRONE, OR THE PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, MERCHANTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS OF THE SARDINIAN MINESTRONE OR SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURIES, LOSSES, CLAIMS, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES; OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT (OR PRODUCTS) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.


SECTION 17 – INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Sardinian Minestrone, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, merchants, licensors, and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities, or claims—including reasonable attorneys’ fees—made by any third party due to or arising from:
(1) your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents referenced herein;
(2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party;
(3) your access to or use of the Services.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claims, though failure to provide prompt notice does not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially affected. We may control the defense and settlement of such claims at your expense, including choice of counsel, but we will not settle claims requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in defending non-indemnifiable claims, including providing relevant documents.


SECTION 18 – SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.


SECTION 19 – WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The failure of Shopify to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in relation to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us, governing your use of the Services and superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written (including but not limited to prior versions of the Terms of Service).

Any ambiguity in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements under which we provide you with the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and courts—federal, state, or territorial—of the jurisdiction in which The Sardinian Minestrone is based. You and The Sardinian Minestrone agree to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts.


SECTION 22 – HEADINGS

Headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and do not limit or affect these Terms.
