Terms of service
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Dog’s Signature. The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Dog’s Signature®, which operates as a business unit within Hakone AB. Dog’s Signature operates this webshop and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services to provide you as a customer with a tailored shopping experience (the “Services”). Dog’s Signature uses Shopify to operate the webshop and website, enabling us to provide the Services to you.
The following terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and include areas such as 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 should not access or use our Services.
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices that you own, purchase, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our webshops or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be required to provide certain information such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have all necessary rights to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every effort to display our products and services accurately in our webshops. However, please note that colors or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen depending on the device you use to access the store and your device settings and configuration.
We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased will meet your expectations or be identical to those shown or described in our webshops.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any product that we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
SECTION 3 – ORDERS
When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase. Dog’s Signature reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason at its sole discretion. Your order is not accepted until Dog’s Signature confirms that we have received it. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Dog’s Signature may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.
Your purchases may only be returned or exchanged in accordance with our Refund Policy [LINK].
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use only and 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 will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be stated in your order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs, or import duties.
Prices in our webshops may differ from prices in physical stores, online stores, or other outlets operated by third parties. From time to time, we may offer promotions on the Services that may be governed by terms and conditions different from these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made in our stores. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card number, and expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use the credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred at the prices stated, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not responsible for delays in shipping and delivery. All delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events beyond our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you when we deliver the products to the carrier.

Our Services, including but not limited to all trademarks, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by Dog’s Signature or its licensors and are protected by patent, copyright, and other intellectual property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Services for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material from the Services without our prior written consent.

You may not use such trademarks without prior written permission from Dog’s Signature. Shopify’s name, logo, 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 be provided access to customer tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we neither monitor nor have any control over.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which such tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also offer new features through the Services in the future, including the release of new tools and resources. Such new features shall also be considered part of the Services and subject to these Terms of Service.

If you decide to leave the Services to access such materials or third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not responsible for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites or your purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content from third-party websites. Please review third-party policies and practices carefully and ensure you understand them before engaging in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third party.
SECTION 9 – RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of the sales between you and Dog’s Signature, including any injuries or damages resulting from purchased products or services. You hereby release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with Dog’s Signature.

All personal data collected by us through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be read here [LINK], and certain personal data may also be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
Because the Services are provided by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal data about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit to the Services will be transferred to and shared with Shopify and third parties that may be located in countries other than your country of residence in order to provide services to you. Please read our Privacy Policy [LINK] for more information on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal data.

If you submit, upload, publish, email, or otherwise transmit any text, photographs/images, ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback in any media for any purpose, including commercial use. We may, for example, use such rights to operate, provide, evaluate, improve, and market the Services and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under these Terms of Service.
You further represent and warrant that (i) you own or otherwise have all necessary rights to the Feedback, (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with providing the Feedback, and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We have no obligation to maintain Feedback in confidence, to pay compensation for Feedback, or to respond to Feedback.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property rights or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory, unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could affect the operation of the Services or any related website. You may not use a false email address, impersonate another person, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you provide and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for Feedback posted by you or any third party.

Occasionally there may be information on or in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, delivery times, and availability.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claims, provided that failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations unless you have suffered material prejudice.

You shall cooperate in the defense of indemnifiable claims, including providing relevant documentation.
