Terms of service

Welcome to Valley Variety. We're a design-forward retail store based in Hudson, NY. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, your purchases from us, and any interactions you have with our store — whether you find us directly at valleyvariety.com, through a third-party platform, or via an AI-powered tool or assistant.

Please read this document. It's written to be clear, not intimidating. If you have questions, reach out to us at shop@valleyvariety.com.

 

1. Who These Terms Apply To

These Terms apply to all visitors, customers, and users of our store — whether you're browsing our website, purchasing in-store, or discovering our products through a third-party platform or AI assistant. By accessing our site or completing a purchase, you agree to these Terms.

You represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or that you have parental consent to use our services.

 

2. Our Store & Platform

Our primary storefront is hosted on Shopify Inc. You may also encounter our products through third-party channels, marketplaces, or AI-powered discovery and shopping tools (such as ChatGPT or similar services). These Terms apply regardless of the channel through which you discover, research, or purchase our products.

Valley Variety is a human-curated store. Our product descriptions, recommendations, and editorial content are created by our team. We do not guarantee that descriptions or recommendations generated by third-party platforms or AI tools accurately reflect our current inventory, pricing, availability, or policies.

💡 If you saw something described or priced differently on another platform or via an AI tool, our website and order confirmation are the official record. See Section 6.

 

3. When Your Order Is Official

Placing an item in your cart or submitting an order does not guarantee a completed purchase. Your order is officially accepted when you receive an Order Confirmation email from Valley Variety. That email — and the corresponding record in our Shopify system — is the authoritative record of your purchase.

We reserve the right to cancel or modify any order prior to fulfillment. If we need to cancel your order (for example, due to a pricing error, inventory discrepancy, or suspected fraud), we will notify you promptly and issue a full refund to your original payment method.

If you believe your order was placed through an AI tool or third-party channel, the same rule applies: your order is confirmed only upon receipt of a confirmation email from shop@valleyvariety.com.

💡 Tip: Always look for a confirmation email from us. If you don't receive one within 24 hours of placing an order, contact us.

 

4. Pricing, Products & Availability

Pricing

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. The price displayed on our website at the time of your order confirmation is the price you will be charged.

Prices shown on third-party websites, AI tools, social platforms, or other external channels may not reflect our current pricing. We are not responsible for price discrepancies originating outside of valleyvariety.com.

Product Descriptions & Accuracy

We make every effort to ensure our product descriptions, images, and specifications are accurate. However, colors may appear differently depending on your screen settings, and some product details (dimensions, materials, finishes) may vary slightly due to the handmade or small-batch nature of certain items.

We are not responsible for inaccurate product descriptions generated by AI tools, third-party platforms, or any source other than our own website and staff. If you have questions about a specific product, please contact us before purchasing.

Availability

Product availability can change quickly. We reserve the right to limit quantities, discontinue products, or restrict sales to certain regions without notice.

 

5. AI-Powered Platforms & Third-Party Channels

You may discover or learn about our products through AI-powered tools (such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or similar), social media platforms, affiliate sites, or other third-party channels. We welcome these discovery paths, but want to be clear about a few things:

       Third-party platforms and AI tools are not authorized representatives of Valley Variety.

       Product descriptions, pricing, availability, and policies communicated through these channels may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.

       We are not responsible for the content generated about us by AI tools or third parties.

       Any purchase initiated through a third-party tool is still subject to these Terms, and your Order Confirmation from Valley Variety is the governing record.

       We do not guarantee that purchases initiated through non-Shopify channels will be processed or fulfilled without additional verification.

💡 In short: AI tools can help you discover us, but your order isn't real until we confirm it.

 

6. Returns, Refunds & Exchanges

Our return and refund policy applies regardless of where or how you discovered or purchased your item — our website, in-store, through a third-party platform, or via an AI-assisted purchase flow. Valley Variety is the seller of record in all cases, and all return requests should be directed to us at shop@valleyvariety.com.

Full details are available in our Return Policy.

 

7. Order Fulfillment & Shipping

Full details on shipping timelines, carriers, and freight delivery for oversized items are available in our Shipping Policy.

 

8. Payments & Billing

We accept payment methods made available through our Shopify checkout. You agree to provide accurate billing and payment information. We reserve the right to cancel orders where payment cannot be verified or where fraud is suspected.

All financial transactions are processed securely by Shopify's payment infrastructure. Credit card and payment information is encrypted during transmission. We do not store your full payment details.

 

9. Intellectual Property

All content on our website — including text, photographs, product descriptions, brand identity, and editorial content — is owned by Valley Variety LLC or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, copy, sell, or repurpose any part of our website content without our express written permission. This includes using our product descriptions, images, or brand assets to train AI models or populate third-party databases.

 

10. User Conduct & Prohibited Uses

When using our site or services, you agree not to:

       Use our site for any unlawful purpose

       Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems

       Transmit malicious code, spam, or harmful software

       Scrape, crawl, or extract data from our site without permission (including for AI training purposes)

       Impersonate Valley Variety or misrepresent your affiliation with us

       Engage in fraudulent purchases or chargebacks in bad faith

 

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our website and services are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties — express or implied — regarding uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or fitness for a particular purpose.

We do not warrant that:

       Information on our website or on third-party platforms about our products is always accurate or current

       AI-generated descriptions, recommendations, or summaries about our products are accurate

       Products will meet every expectation based on digital representations (colors, textures, scale)

 

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Valley Variety LLC and its owners, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

       Your use of or inability to use our website or services

       Any purchase made through our store or through a third-party platform

       Inaccurate product information generated by AI tools, third-party platforms, or other external sources

       Delays, errors, or failures by third-party carriers, payment processors, or platforms

       Any reliance on content, descriptions, or recommendations provided by AI assistants or third-party channels

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid for the specific order giving rise to the claim. Some states do not allow certain liability exclusions, so these limitations may apply to you differently depending on your location.

 

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Valley Variety LLC, its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your use of our services, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

 

14. Privacy

Your use of our site and the personal information you share with us are governed by our Privacy Policy

 

15. Third-Party Links & Services

Our website may include links to third-party websites, and third-party platforms may link to or reference our products. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or service.

If you access our products through a third-party tool or platform, that platform's own terms and privacy policy also apply to your interaction with them. We encourage you to review those terms independently.

 

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version to our website. The effective date at the top of this document will reflect when changes were last made. Your continued use of our site or services after a revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify customers of material changes, but it is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

 

17. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of our services shall be resolved in the courts of New York State, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

We always prefer to resolve issues directly and informally. If you have a concern, please contact us first at shop@valleyvariety.com before initiating any legal process.

 

18. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and Return Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Valley Variety regarding your use of our services.
