Terms of Service - ShopGlobal.com

By accessing or utilising our platform, you hereby acknowledge and consent to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). We implore you to scrutinise these terms meticulously, as they constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "User") and ShopGlobal.com (the "Company", "we", or "our").

1. Account Management
Creating an account requires scrupulous attention to detail. Users must be at least 18 years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. Whilst we endeavour to maintain robust security protocols, you bear ultimate responsibility for safeguarding your login credentials. Any unauthorised access must be reported forthwith.

2. Intellectual Property Rights
All content featured on our platform-including but not limited to imagery, text, logos, and proprietary software-remains our exclusive intellectual property. Users are categorically prohibited from appropriating, replicating, or manipulating such content without securing explicit written authorisation.

3. Product Listings and Pricing
Notwithstanding our commitment to accuracy, we reserve the right to modify prices or withdraw items from sale without prior notification. In the unlikely event of pricing anomalies or computational errors, we may, at our sole discretion, cancel any resultant orders, even post-confirmation.

4. Payment and Transaction Security
We employ state-of-the-art encryption protocols to protect your financial data. Nevertheless, by proceeding with any transaction, you acknowledge that no system is entirely impregnable. We accept various payment methods, including credit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers, subject to regional availability.

5. Shipping and Returns
Delivery timeframes are approximate and contingent upon numerous variables beyond our direct control. Whilst we strive to meet stated delivery windows, we cannot guarantee precise delivery times. Returns must be initiated within 14 days of receipt, with items in their original condition and packaging. Certain categories of goods are exempt from our returns policy.

6. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall our liability exceed the purchase price of the goods in question. We expressly disclaim responsibility for any consequential losses, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.

7. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved through arbitration in accordance with international commercial arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the venue shall be determined by mutual agreement.

8. Amendments
We reserve the unilateral right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of our platform following any such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms were last updated six months ago. For any queries regarding these Terms, please contact our legal department at legal@shopglobal.com.
