APPLICABILITY

You are reading these Terms of Sale (“Terms of Sale”) because you are using a TPC website, digital experience, social media platform, mobile app, wearable technology, or one of our other products or services, all of which are part of TPC’s Platform (“Platform”). These Terms of Sale create a legally binding agreement between you and TPC and its affiliates (which we may refer to as “TPC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) regarding orders placed for products available on the Platform.   TPC may revise these Terms of Sale without notice by posting revised Terms of Sale on its Platform.  The Terms of Sale posted on the Platform at the time you place your order on the Platform will govern that purchase.  Please read these terms carefully and check that the details of your order are complete and accurate before submitting your order.

PLACING ORDERS ON THE PLATFORM 

ELIGIBILITY TO ORDER

To place an order on the Platform, you must be of legal age in your country and a consumer – not a reseller. 

NO PURCHASE FOR RESALE

The Platform is intended solely for TPC to sell TPC products direct to end consumers, and therefore purchase of products for resale is strictly prohibited. Purchase for resale means the purchase of TPC product by someone who resells, or intends to resell, the TPC product to others (consumers, businesses or any third party).  If TPC believes you are involved in purchase for resale, TPC reserves the right to take any action against you, including, without limitation, to restrict sales to you, cancel your orders, and/or suspend or close your account.  

HOW TO ORDER

You need an e-mail address to place an order, and you may need to set your browser to accept both (functional) cookies and pop-ups in order to be able to use all the functionalities of the Website, which includes designing customized items, adding items to your shopping bag and submitting your order. 

When you submit an order we will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order.  Our acceptance of the order takes place when the Products are shipped to you – we will send you an email confirming that the Products have been shipped (“Order Confirmation”). At this point a contract, containing these Terms of Sale, comes into existence and is binding on you and us (the “Contract”). We recommend that you print or download a copy of these Terms of Sale and the relevant Order Confirmation for future reference.  If we are unable to supply you with a product, we will inform you of this in writing and will not process the order. 

OUR RIGHT TO REJECT YOUR ORDER OR CANCEL A CONTRACT

Fulfillment of all orders on the Platform is subject to availability. We explicitly reserve the right not to accept your order for any reason. We also reserve the right to cancel a Contract by written notice to you in the following situations, without being liable for any damage or costs other than repayment of any amount received from you in relation to the Contract we cancelled:

• the product is not available / in stock;
• your billing information is not correct or not verifiable;
• your order is flagged up by our security systems as an unusual order or an order susceptible to fraud;
• your bank transfer payment is not received within 12 calendar days after acceptance of your order;
• we believe you are under the legal age in your country;
• we believe that you are a reseller;
• there was an error in the price displayed on the Platform;
• we could not deliver to the address provided by you;
• due to an Event Outside Our Control (see below); or
• in the event of misspelling, pricing or other errors or mistakes in the Platform information.

DATA CHECK

When you send us your order, we may run some checks on it before it is fulfilled. These checks may include verifying your address and checking for fraud.  We run partly automated checks on all purchases to filter out unusual or suspect transactions, or transactions which can be identified as susceptible to fraud. Suspected fraud on the Platform will be investigated and if necessary prosecuted. 

TITLE TRANSFER & RISK OF LOSS

The title and risk of loss for products purchased from TPC pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.  Title to product(s) will not transfer until full payment has been received.

PRICE/PAYMENT

PAYMENT PROCESSING

Except with respect to pre-ordered products, if you pay by credit/debit card, we will deduct the amount due from your account as soon as your order leaves our warehouse.  Payments can only be processed if the billing information can be verified.  [See Dominican Republic terms.]

PRICES AND CURRENCY

The product prices displayed on the Platform are inclusive of Value-Added Tax (VAT), as applicable. Shipping rates are applied per order. The exact shipping rates depend on the country where your order is being delivered to.

Prices are quoted in local currency. If you change the country of delivery while browsing or during check out, prices from that moment may be quoted in a different currency. Please note that changing the country of delivery may have an influence on the price due to a change in currency or to country specific pricing. 

YOUR TOTAL PRICE

The total price specified in the final check out screen includes tax and shipping costs. This price will be recorded in the Order Confirmation, which we recommend you print or download for future reference. If paying by credit card, the total amount for your entire order will be reflected on your statement in your local currency. 

If your local currency is different from the currency in which the prices are quoted, your bank will apply the exchange rate applicable per the date of purchase. Your bank may apply a different exchange rate, which is beyond our control.  

[See China terms.]

PRICE CHANGES

The prices of the products will be as displayed on the Platform. Prices may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed in an Order Confirmation. 

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

DELIVERY – WHERE AND WHEN

We do not ship on certain public holidays. Please refer to the help section of the Website for dates and the available delivery times and methods. We can only fulfill an order to a delivery address which is a home or office address in one of the countries listed in the help section of the Website.

SPLIT DELIVERY

Where possible, we try to deliver all items which you have ordered at the same time.  We reserve the right to split the delivery of your order, for instance if part of your order is delayed or unavailable. In the event that we split your order, we will notify you of our intention to do so by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by you at the time your order was placed. You will not be charged for any additional delivery costs. 

INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY

Upon delivery, please inspect the packaging for damage. If it appears that the products are damaged, please do not accept the shipment.

SHIPPING RATES

Rates may be modified from time to time and are subject to destination charges.

RETURNS & CANCELLATIONS

CANCELLING ORDER BEFORE DELIVERY

You may cancel any order free of charge and without giving us any reason, provided it has not yet been shipped. We begin processing orders placed at our online store almost immediately.

If cancellation is not possible, the product(s) will be delivered to you and may be returned in accordance with the procedure set out below. 

[See Korea terms.] 

RETURNING ORDERS AFTER DELIVERY – DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS ONLY

Returns are only accepted within 30-days of original purchase and then only in the event that they are defective or otherwise not in conformity with your order when you received them. This does not affect your statutory rights. In the event your claim is approved by us, the purchase price and the shipping costs will be refunded. [See China and Costa Rica terms.] 

OTHER THAN THE LIMITED RETURN OPTION ABOVE, ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED.

REFUND INFORMATION

For an approved return, refunds will be issued based on the original form of payment. If you paid via bank transfer you need to give this information to Customer Service when you initiate the return so that we can refund the money directly to your account.  Refunds may take up to two (2) billing cycles to reflect on your credit card or bank statement.

EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, pandemic, or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks. 

If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under these Terms of Sale:

a)     We will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and

b)     Our obligations under these general conditions will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. 

Where the Event Outside Our Control affects Our delivery of a product to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.  You may cancel the contract if an Event Outside Our Control takes place and you no longer wish us to provide the products. Please see your cancellation rights under Cancellation above. 

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

We may transfer our rights and obligations under a contract to another organization, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms of Sale. 

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms of Sale to another person if we agree in writing. 

Each of the paragraphs of this Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms of Sale, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. 

If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you. We will not file a copy of the contract between us. 

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS 

If you are located in one of the following countries, the additional terms below will apply and override any inconsistent terms above.

6.  PARTNERS ON THE PLATFORM

From time to time, TPC may link to or partner with third-party websites, social media platforms, mobile apps, and other products and services (“Third Parties”).  You may be able to connect with these Third Parties through the Platform, but this does not mean TPC endorses, monitors or has any control over these Third Parties or their activities, which are subject to separate terms of use and privacy policies.  You should carefully review any Third Party’s sites and terms of use and privacy policy. TPC is not responsible for the content, policies, or activities of Third Parties and you interact with Third Parties at your own risk.

USER INTERACTIONS.  To the extent allowed by applicable law, we are not responsible for your interactions with other users of the Platform or any damage or harm you may experience because of these interactions.

• Be responsible and take precautions when interacting with other users (including users you do not know) on the Platform. Before you meet another person face-to-face, consider investigating, bringing a friend, choosing public locations and letting someone know where you will be.  TPC is under no obligation to become involved with any user dispute, but may do so at its own discretion.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.  Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions on liabilities, legal warranties and remedies, so these exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

• The Platform, Content, and the materials and products on this Platform are provided “AS IS.” We are NOT making any promises of any kind, including about the Platform’s accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, reliability or otherwise. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TPC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY USER CONTENT POSTED ON THE PLATFORM.

• You understand and agree that some of your User Content, particularly that which is displayed in public places on the Platform, may continue to appear publicly even after your account is terminated, subject to your right to have your User Content removed upon request in accordance with applicable law.
• These Terms remain in effect even after your account is terminated or you have stopped using the Platform.

9.  INDEMNIFICATION / LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

We want you to enjoy our Platform, but TPC must also protect itself from any damages you may cause.

Indemnification and RELEASE.  Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions on liabilities, legal warranties and remedies, so these exclusions limitations may not apply to you. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TPC, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (the “TPC Parties”) from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating in any way to your User Content, your use of Content, your use of the Platform, your conduct in connection with the Platform or with other Platform users, or any violation of these Terms of Use, any law or the rights of any third party. You, for yourself and on behalf of your heirs, estate, insurers, successors and assigns, hereby fully and forever release and discharge the TPC Parties from any and all claims or causes of action you may have for damages relating in any way to your use of the Platform.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions on liabilities, legal warranties and remedies, so these exclusions/limitations may not apply to you. NONE OF THE TPC PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE PLATFORM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR THE CONDUCT OF OTHER PLATFORM USERS (WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE), OR ATTENDANCE AT A TPC EVENT OR TPC PARTNER EVENTS, OR ANY USER CONTENT OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF TPC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. YOUR ONLY REMEDY AGAINST TPC IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY CONTENT IS TO STOP USING THE PLATFORM. IF TPC IS FOUND TO BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY CONTENT, TPC’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED US$100.00 OR EURO 100.00 IF YOU LIVE IN EUROPE.

We use cookies and pixel tags to track usage of the Platform and to understand our customers’ preferences (such as country and language choices). This enables us to provide services to our customers and improve their online experience. We also use cookies and pixel tags to obtain aggregate data about Platform traffic and Platform interaction, to identify trends and obtain statistics so that we can improve our Platform. There are generally three categories of cookies used on our Platform:

• Functional: These cookies are required for basic Platform functionality and are therefore always enabled. These include cookies that allow you to be remembered as you explore our Platform within a single session or, if you request, from session to session. They help make the shopping cart and checkout process possible as well as assist in security issues and conforming to regulations.
  • Performance: These cookies allow us to improve our Platform’s functionality by tracking usage. In some cases, these cookies improve the speed with which we can process your request and allow us to remember Platform preferences you have selected. Refusing these cookies may result in poorly-tailored recommendations and slow Platform performance.
  • Social media and Advertising: Social media cookies offer the possibility to connect you to your social networks and share content from our Platform through social media.  Advertising cookies collect information to help better tailor advertising to your interests. In some cases, these cookies involve the processing of your personal data. Refusing these cookies may result in seeing advertising that is not as relevant to you or you not being able to link effectively with Facebook, Twitter, or other social networks and/or not allowing you to share content on social media.

Your browser can help you manage cookies.  You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings on each browser and device that you use. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to many features that make our Platform more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.  There are also general resources for opting out of interest based advertising available on the websites of the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Similarly, you can adjust your advertising preferences on your mobile device at the device level.  For example, to adjust your advertising preferences in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. To adjust your advertising preferences in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads.  

USING the TPC Platform with Third-Party Products and Services

Our Platform allows you to interact with a wide variety of other digital products and services.  For example, our Platform can integrate with third-party devices for activity tracking, social networks, music streaming services and other digital services. 

If you choose to connect your TPC account with a third-party device or account, your privacy rights on third-party platforms will be governed by their respective policies.  For example, if you choose to share your TPC activity on third-party social media platforms, the policies of those platforms govern the data that resides there. 

Our Platform may provide links to other (third-party) websites and apps for your convenience or information. Linked sites and apps have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly encourage you to review. To the extent any linked websites or apps are not owned or controlled by us, we are not responsible for their content, any use of the websites or apps, or the privacy practices of the websites or apps.
