OVERVIEW
Welcome to Bute Couture! Throughout these Terms, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bute Couture. We operate this website and store — along with all related content, features, tools, and services — to bring you a carefully curated shopping experience for handbags and tote bags (the “Services”). Our store runs on WordPress and WooCommerce.
These Terms of Service, together with any policies we reference here (collectively, these “Terms”), set out your rights and responsibilities when using our Services. Please read them closely, as they include important details about warranty disclaimers and limits on our liability.
By visiting, browsing, or using our Services in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree with them, please refrain from using our Services.
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND YOUR ACCOUNT
By using our Services, you confirm that you’re at least the age of majority in your state or province, and that you have permission to allow any minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own or manage.
To shop with us, you may need to provide information such as your email, billing details, payment method, and shipping address. You confirm that any information you give us is accurate, current, and complete, and that you’re authorized to share it.
You’re responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Accounts may not be sold, transferred, or licensed to another person.
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
We work hard to represent our handbags and tote bags accurately across our store. That said, actual colors and appearance may vary slightly depending on your screen and device settings.
We can’t guarantee that a product’s appearance, quality, or fit will exactly match what’s shown online. Product descriptions may be updated at any time without notice, and we reserve the right to discontinue items or limit quantities available to any customer, region, or jurisdiction at our discretion.
SECTION 3 – PLACING AN ORDER
Placing an order is an offer to purchase, which we may accept or decline for any reason. An order isn’t final until we confirm it, and full payment must be received before we process it. Please double-check your order before submitting — once accepted, we may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests. If we cancel or modify an order, we’ll try to reach you using the contact details you provided at checkout.
Returns and exchanges are handled solely according to our Refund Policy. By ordering from us, you confirm that your purchases are for personal use only, not for resale or commercial export.
SECTION 4 – PRICING AND PAYMENT
Prices, discounts, and promotions may change at any time without notice. You’ll be charged the price shown at checkout, as confirmed in your order confirmation email. Unless stated otherwise, listed prices exclude taxes, shipping, and any applicable customs or import fees.
Prices on our website may differ from those in any other sales channel. Occasional promotions may come with their own terms, which will take priority over these Terms if there’s a conflict.
You agree to keep your payment and account information accurate and up to date, and confirm that (i) your payment details are valid, (ii) you’re authorized to use the payment method provided, (iii) charges will be honored by your card issuer, and (iv) you’ll pay all amounts due, including shipping and applicable taxes.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We currently offer free shipping via FedEx, UPS, or USPS, with orders processed within 1–2 business days and an estimated delivery window of 5–8 business days. These timeframes are estimates, not guarantees — we’re not responsible for delays caused by the carrier, customs, weather, or other events beyond our control. Once your order is handed off to the carrier, responsibility for the shipment transfers to you.
SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All content on our Services — including our name, logo, product photography, graphics, written descriptions, and overall design — belongs to Bute Couture or our licensors and is protected under applicable intellectual property law.
You may use our Services for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or otherwise repurpose any of our content without our written permission. Unauthorized use may violate intellectual property law, and all rights not specifically granted here remain reserved by us.
SECTION 7 – THIRD-PARTY TOOLS
We may give you access to tools provided by third parties that we don’t control or monitor. Any such tools are offered “as is,” without warranty, and your use of them is at your own risk. We recommend reviewing the relevant third party’s own terms before relying on their tools. We’re not liable for any outcome resulting from your use of third-party tools, whether offered now or added in the future.
SECTION 8 – THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our Services may link to websites operated by others. We don’t review or vouch for third-party content, and we’re not responsible for any harm resulting from your use of those sites. If you choose to visit a linked website, please review its own policies first — any issues with a third-party site should be directed to that site’s operator.
SECTION 9 – PRIVACY
Any personal information collected through our Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available on our website. By using our Services, you acknowledge that you’ve reviewed and understood how we collect and use your information.
SECTION 10 – FEEDBACK
If you send us ideas, suggestions, reviews, or other feedback, you’re granting us a free, worldwide, perpetual license to use, adapt, and share that feedback for any purpose, including improving our Services or promoting our brand.
You confirm that you own the rights to any feedback you submit, that you’ve disclosed any compensation tied to it, and that it complies with these Terms. We’re under no obligation to keep feedback confidential, pay for it, or respond to it, and we may remove any feedback we consider inappropriate or in violation of these Terms.
SECTION 11 – ERRORS AND CORRECTIONS
Our site may occasionally contain typos, inaccuracies, or missing information related to pricing, product details, or availability. We reserve the right to correct such errors and to update or cancel orders affected by inaccurate information, even after an order has been placed.
SECTION 12 – ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree to use our Services lawfully and respectfully. You may not use our Services to: break any law; infringe on our or anyone else’s intellectual property; harass or harm others; spread false information; send spam or unsolicited promotions; impersonate someone else; upload malicious code; scrape or extract data using bots, crawlers, or AI tools; or bypass any security measures we have in place. We may suspend or close your account at any time if we believe you’ve violated these rules.
SECTION 13 – AUTOMATED AGENTS
If you use any automated software or “agent” to interact with our Services on your behalf, that agent must clearly identify itself as such in its requests, must not attempt to disguise itself as a human user or bypass verification tools like CAPTCHAs, and must comply with any access restrictions we put in place. We may limit or block automated access at our discretion.
SECTION 14 – TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate your access to our Services at any time, for any reason, without notice. You’ll remain responsible for any amounts owed as of the termination date. Provisions relating to intellectual property, feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and other clauses that naturally survive termination will continue to apply.
SECTION 15 – DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
Content on our Services is provided for general informational purposes, and we don’t guarantee its accuracy or completeness. Our Services and products are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We don’t promise that our Services will always be uninterrupted, timely, or error-free. Some regions don’t allow these kinds of disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
SECTION 16 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Bute Couture and our officers, employees, and affiliates won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages — including lost profits or data — arising from your use of our Services or products, even if we’ve been advised such damages were possible.
SECTION 17 – INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend and hold Bute Couture, along with our affiliates, employees, and partners, harmless from any claims or expenses — including legal fees — arising from your breach of these Terms, misuse of our Services, or violation of any law or third-party right.
SECTION 18 – SEVERABILITY
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that section will be limited or removed to the extent necessary, while the rest of these Terms remain fully in effect.
SECTION 19 – WAIVER AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms doesn’t waive our right to do so later. These Terms, together with any policies posted on our site, form the complete agreement between you and us regarding your use of our Services, replacing any earlier agreements or understandings.
SECTION 20 – ASSIGNMENT
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer or assign our rights under these Terms at any time without needing to notify you.
SECTION 21 – GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Bute Couture is headquartered, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be handled in the courts of that jurisdiction.
SECTION 22 – HEADINGS
Section headings are included for convenience only and don’t affect the interpretation of these Terms.
SECTION 23 – CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting changes to our website. Please check back periodically, as continued use of our Services after any update means you accept the revised Terms.
