TERMS OF SERVICE

OVERVIEW Welcome to Marica! The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Marica. Marica operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Marica is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”) describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about 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. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access 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. To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

Marica sweets are artisanal, handmade products. We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products in our online store. However, please note:

Appearance: Because our products are handmade and hand-coated in Swiss chocolate, slight variations in shape and finish are expected and celebrate the artisan nature of the brand.
Color: Product colors may differ slightly from how they appear on your screen due to device settings and configuration.
Availability: We reserve the right to limit quantities or discontinue any product at any time without notice.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Marica reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason. Your order is not accepted until we confirm acceptance and process payment. Please review your order carefully; due to the perishable and handmade nature of our sweets, we may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests once an order is processed.

SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. Posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, or customs charges unless expressly stated. You represent and warrant that the payment information you provide is true and that you are authorized to use the designated payment method.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

All delivery times are estimates only. Marica is not liable for shipping delays caused by carriers, customs processing, or events outside our control. Once products are transferred to the carrier, the title and risk of loss pass to you.

SECTION 7 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS & TOOLS

We may provide access to third-party tools (like payment processors) or links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for examining the content or accuracy of these third-party materials. Use of these tools is at your own risk and subject to the third-party’s terms.

SECTION 8 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

Marica is powered by Shopify. However, your purchase is directly with Marica. You acknowledge that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of sales between you and Marica, including any injury or loss resulting from products.
