Terms of Sale

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Sale ("Terms") govern every purchase you make from TruculentTees ("we," "us," "our") at truculenttees.com. By placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not place an order. These Terms supplement our Privacy Policy, Return Policy, and Shipping Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to place an order. By placing an order, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the payment method you use is yours.

3. Pricing & Taxes

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars (USD) and are exclusive of taxes. Applicable sales, use, or similar taxes are calculated and displayed at checkout based on your shipping destination. Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect orders we have already accepted.

Promotional codes have no cash value, cannot be combined unless we say so, and may expire or be revoked.

4. Order Acceptance & Right to Refuse

Your order is an offer to buy. A binding contract is formed only when we send you an order confirmation email and charge your payment method. We may refuse, cancel, or limit any order, in whole or in part, at our sole discretion, including (without limitation) for the following reasons:

• The product, price, or availability information on the site was inaccurate.
• We suspect fraud or unauthorized use of a payment method.
• The design ordered violates the content policies of our print-on-demand fulfillment partner, Apliiq, or any applicable law (including intellectual-property law, defamation law, or restrictions on hateful or threatening content).
• Shipping to the requested destination is impractical or prohibited.

If we cancel an order after charging your payment method, we will refund the full amount charged.

5. Manufacturing & Title

All products are print-on-demand and manufactured to order in the United States by our fulfillment partner, Apliiq. Title to the goods and risk of loss pass to you when the carrier accepts the package from Apliiq for shipment. From that point on, the package is your property and any claim for loss or damage in transit must be made through the procedures described in our Shipping Policy.

6. Returns & Refunds

Refunds, replacements, and exchanges are governed by our Return Policy. In general: 30-day window from delivery, unworn condition, defects covered at our expense, change-of-mind covered at the customer's return-shipping expense, and explicitly bespoke commissions are final sale.

7. Product & Color Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to display products accurately, but small variations in color, shade, garment weight, and print position are inherent to garment manufacturing and direct-to-garment printing. Such variations are not defects. Photographs are illustrative and may not reflect the exact appearance of the item you receive.

8. Intellectual Property

All site content, including designs, artwork, graphics, text, photographs, logos, and the "TruculentTees" name and marks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws.

Purchasing a shirt grants you ownership of the physical garment for personal use. It does not grant you a license to reproduce, copy, scan, redistribute, mass-produce, resell as new merchandise, or create derivative works from the design printed on it. Commercial use of our designs requires our prior written permission.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use our site or products to:

• Engage in fraud, money-laundering, or any other unlawful activity.
• Resell, re-list, or commercially redistribute our products without written consent.
• Submit false, misleading, or stolen payment information.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or otherwise interfere with our systems, including by automated means.
• Harass our staff or fulfillment partners.

We may terminate accounts and refuse future orders for violations.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our products and the site are provided "as is" and "as available", and we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Defects in materials or workmanship are addressed exclusively through our Return Policy. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties; in those jurisdictions, this section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will TruculentTees, its operators, officers, contractors, or fulfillment partners be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the site, or any product, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or relating to a particular order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for certain damages; in those jurisdictions, this section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TruculentTees and its fulfillment partners from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of a product, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law. Subject to the arbitration provision below, the state and federal courts located in Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration. (Operator note: confirm governing-law state before launch.)

14. Binding Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

You and TruculentTees agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the site, or any product (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified here. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, by a single arbitrator, and may be conducted by telephone, video, or written submissions at your election if the claim is under $25,000.

Class-action waiver. You and TruculentTees each waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, collective action, or representative action. Disputes must be brought in your or our individual capacity only. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in the customer's county of residence in lieu of arbitration, so long as the claim remains in that court and on an individual basis.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of your first order with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your order number. Opting out will not affect any other portion of these Terms.

If this section is found unenforceable in whole or in part, the unenforceable portion shall be severed and the remainder shall continue to apply. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall proceed in court and all other claims shall remain in arbitration.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time you place an order will govern that order. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated effective date.

16. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Return Policy, and Shipping Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TruculentTees with respect to your purchase and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject.
