The product name

Materials and dimensions

Approximate capacity

Package contents

Price and currency

Applicable taxes

Shipping information

Estimated delivery time

Refund conditions

These details, together with the order summary and applicable store policies, form part of the information presented in connection with the transaction.

Customers should retain their order confirmation, payment confirmation, shipping information, and policy documents for their records.


5. Contracting Process

Displaying a product on CozySip.store is generally an invitation for customers to submit an order and does not guarantee that every requested transaction will be accepted.

When a customer places an order, CozySip.store may review:

Product availability

Payment authorization

Delivery availability

Shipping restrictions

Address accuracy

Order quantities

Possible pricing errors

Fraud indicators

Compliance with store policies

An automated order confirmation acknowledges that the order was received. Depending on the circumstances, final acceptance may occur when payment is confirmed, fulfillment begins, or a shipment confirmation is issued.

CozySip.store may refuse or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including when:

A product is unavailable

Payment cannot be authorized

The information supplied is incomplete

The delivery address is invalid

There is an obvious pricing error

The order appears fraudulent

The transaction violates applicable law

The order violates our Terms of Service

If a paid order is cancelled by CozySip.store, the appropriate amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product information is useful, understandable, and accurate.

However, customers acknowledge that product presentation may be affected by:

Screen settings

Lighting conditions

Photography

Manual measurements

Production batches

Material characteristics

Hand-painted details

Glaze variation

Pattern placement

Packaging updates

Ceramic, glass, and artisan-inspired items may contain modest differences between individual units. Slight variations in colour, finish, shape, texture, capacity, or decorative placement may be inherent in the product and may not constitute a defect.

Decorative items shown in lifestyle photographs are not included unless the product description expressly identifies them as part of the package.

Customers should rely on the written package-contents section and product specifications when deciding what is included with an order.

Materially inaccurate information will be corrected when identified. Appropriate remedies may be provided where a supplied product is defective, unsafe, incorrectly described, or materially different from the item ordered.


7. Product Use and Safety

Customers must use all products responsibly and according to their intended purpose.

Before using ceramic or glass drinkware, customers should:

Inspect the item for cracks or chips

Wash it according to the applicable care instructions

Microwave ovens

Conventional ovens

Stovetops

Open flames

Freezers

Dishwashers

Boiling liquids

Sudden thermal changes

Customers must consult the individual product description, packaging, or care instructions before using an item in these conditions.

A decorative design that appeals to children does not automatically mean the product is a toy or suitable for unsupervised use by children.

CozySip.store is not responsible for damage caused by improper use, impact, unauthorized modification, negligent handling, inappropriate cleaning, or use contrary to clearly provided instructions, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

10. Third-Party Trademarks and Designs

Certain products may reference styles, themes, artistic influences, or third-party intellectual property.

All third-party trademarks, service marks, characters, logos, product names, and company names remain the property of their respective owners.

The appearance of a third-party name or reference does not necessarily mean that CozySip.store is sponsored, endorsed, licensed, or affiliated with that third party.

The rights holder’s name

Evidence of ownership or authorization

A clear explanation of the concern

A good-faith statement that the claim is accurate

It does not infringe another person’s rights

It does not disclose confidential information

Unless prohibited by law, the contributor grants CozySip.store a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, adapt, publish, and use the submitted content for website, customer-service, promotional, and business purposes.

CozySip.store may moderate or remove submitted content that violates store policies or applicable law. We are not obligated to publish every review or submission.

We will not knowingly edit customer content in a way that materially misrepresents the customer’s genuine opinion.

Access may be interrupted by:

Maintenance

Platform updates

Technical failures

Internet outages

Cybersecurity incidents

Hosting problems

Payment-provider interruptions

We are not responsible for temporary inability to access the website where the interruption is outside our reasonable control, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

CozySip.store is hosted using Shopify’s e-commerce platform.

Shopify provides technical infrastructure that may support:

Website hosting

Checkout functionality

Order management

Customer accounts

Payment integrations

Policy publication

Privacy tools

Store administration

Shopify enables merchants to add store policies and may automatically display policy links in certain checkout areas. Store owners remain responsible for the content and legal adequacy of the policies they publish.

Shopify is an independent service provider with its own legal terms and privacy practices.

References to Shopify do not mean that Shopify is the seller of CozySip.store products or responsible for our customer-service obligations.

CozySip.store may contain links to external websites or services operated by third parties.

These may include:

Shipping carriers

Payment providers

Social-media platforms

Product-review services

Business directories

Customer-support platforms

Government information pages

External websites are governed by their own terms, policies, security practices, and content standards.

CozySip.store does not control all third-party websites and does not guarantee their availability, accuracy, safety, or continued operation.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of every product, statement, or service offered by the linked organization.

Users should review third-party terms before supplying personal information or completing transactions outside CozySip.store.


15. Privacy and Cookies

Prevent fraud

Provide customer support

Manage returns

Send transactional communications

Comply with legal obligations

Customers should review the Privacy Policy for additional information regarding the categories of information collected, purposes of processing, service providers, retention, marketing preferences, and available privacy rights.

Shopify provides merchant tools for managing customer privacy features, including settings intended to assist with privacy compliance. The merchant remains responsible for configuring those tools appropriately for its operations and customer locations.

Where a cookie preference tool is presented, customers may use it to manage eligible non-essential technologies.

Essential technologies may still operate where they are required for checkout, security, fraud prevention, account access, or basic website functionality.

Security alerts

Policy updates

Marketing messages, where permitted

Customers are responsible for providing a valid email address and maintaining access to the inbox used for the purchase.

Marketing communications may generally be unsubscribed from using the link provided in an eligible promotional email.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent the delivery of necessary transaction, security, or customer-service messages.


17. No Professional Advice

Website content is provided for general retail, informational, and promotional purposes.

Nothing on CozySip.store constitutes:

Legal advice

Medical advice

Financial advice

Tax advice

Nutritional advice

Engineering advice

Professional safety certification

A substitute for manufacturer instructions

Customers should obtain appropriate professional advice when their circumstances require it.

Any general discussion of product use, material care, gifting, beverage service, or home styling should be interpreted as ordinary retail information rather than specialized professional guidance.


18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CozySip.store is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss arising from website use, inability to access the website, or misuse of a product.

Where liability may legally be limited, the total liability connected with a product purchase will generally not exceed the amount paid for the affected product.

This limitation is not intended to apply where exclusion or limitation is prohibited, including where applicable in relation to:

Fraud

Intentional misconduct

Gross negligence

Personal injury

Mandatory legal warranties

Product-safety obligations

Non-waivable consumer rights

Nothing in this Legal Notice eliminates a remedy that CozySip.store must provide under applicable law.


19. Consumer Protection

CozySip.store intends to conduct its business honestly and to avoid false or deceptive practices.

Consumers may have legal rights relating to:

Accurate representations

Product conformity

Acceptable quality

Fitness for ordinary use

Delivery

Unauthorized transactions

Defective goods

Online contracts

Refunds or cancellation in prescribed circumstances

Written store policies supplement these statutory rights and do not replace them.

Canadian consumer-protection information recognizes that provincial and territorial laws may apply alongside federal rules concerning unfair or deceptive business practices.

Customers who believe a problem has occurred are encouraged to contact us first so we can investigate and attempt to provide an appropriate resolution.


20. Returns, Shipping, and Store Policies

Purchases made through CozySip.store are also governed by our:

Return & Refund Policy

Shipping Policy

Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

Contact Information page

Product-specific disclosures

Checkout notices

These documents should be read together.

Where a product-specific notice conflicts with a general policy, the more specific disclosure may apply to that product, provided it does not unlawfully reduce mandatory consumer rights.

Customers should not send returns to our business address unless written return authorization specifically directs them to do so.


21. Fraud and Website Security

Users must not attempt to:

Access restricted systems

Interfere with checkout functions

Introduce malware

Obtain another customer’s information

Use stolen payment credentials

Impersonate CozySip.store

Create fraudulent orders

Manipulate discounts

Submit false delivery claims

Submit false damage claims

Circumvent website-security controls

Suspicious activity may be reviewed using information supplied by payment processors, carriers, Shopify, fraud-prevention tools, and other authorized service providers.

Where appropriate, suspected criminal or fraudulent activity may be reported to payment providers, platform operators, carriers, or lawful authorities.


22. Governing Law

This Legal Notice and the operation of CozySip.store are governed by the applicable laws of Canada and the Province of Québec.

However, this provision does not remove mandatory protections granted to consumers under the laws that apply in their place of residence.

Where applicable law requires that a consumer claim be heard in a particular jurisdiction, that mandatory requirement will take precedence.

Nothing in this document prevents a customer from contacting a consumer-protection authority or exercising a legally available remedy.


23. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

Customers should send complaints to:

support@CozySip.store

Please include:

Full name

Order number

Description of the issue

Relevant dates

Supporting photographs or documents

Previous correspondence

Requested resolution

We will make a good-faith effort to review and respond to complete complaints.

Canada’s Office of Consumer Affairs recommends that consumers first organize relevant records and communicate clearly with the business when attempting to resolve a complaint.

If a matter cannot be resolved directly, each party may use the remedies available under applicable law.

This Legal Notice does not require customers to waive access to courts, consumer authorities, or other processes where such a waiver would be invalid.


24. Formal Legal Communications

Formal legal correspondence may be sent to:

CozySip.store
1545 Avenue de la Montagne E
Québec, QC G3K 1P5
Canada

A copy may also be emailed to:

support@CozySip.store

Formal correspondence should clearly identify:

The sender

The represented party

Contact details

The legal basis of the notice

Relevant order or transaction

Requested action

Supporting documentation

Applicable deadline

Sending an ordinary customer-service email may not satisfy formal legal-service requirements. The sender remains responsible for complying with any legally required method of service.


25. Changes to This Legal Notice

CozySip.store may update this Legal Notice to reflect:

Changes in business operations

Changes to website functionality

New products or services

Shopify platform updates

Changes to service providers

Changes in applicable law

Security improvements

Administrative corrections

The revised version will be published on CozySip.store with an updated revision date.

Changes will generally apply prospectively. Transactions already completed will ordinarily remain governed by the terms presented when the order was placed, except where a change is legally required or provides greater protection to the customer.


26. Severability

If a provision of this Legal Notice is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or interpreted to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect unless the invalid provision is essential and cannot reasonably be separated from the remainder.


27. No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later.

A courtesy refund, replacement, exception, discount, or customer-service gesture does not permanently alter this Legal Notice and does not create an obligation to provide the same exception in future cases.
