You have read and understood these Terms and Conditions.
You agree to comply with these Terms.
You are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.
The information you provide is accurate and complete.
You will use the website only for lawful purposes.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website or place an order.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your place of residence to create an account, place an order, or enter into a transaction through the website.

A parent or legal guardian may use the website on behalf of a minor and remains responsible for all activity and purchases made through the account.

You may be required to create an account to access certain website features.

When creating an account, you agree to:

Provide current and accurate information.
Keep your contact and billing information updated.
Protect your username and password.
Prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account.

You must not create an account using false information, impersonate another person, or use another person’s account without authorization.

We may suspend or close an account when we reasonably believe that it is being used fraudulently, unlawfully, or in violation of these Terms.

5. Products and Services

We make reasonable efforts to describe and display our products accurately. However:

Product colors may appear differently depending on your screen.
Packaging may change without notice.
Product images may be illustrative.
Product sizes, ingredients, and quantities should be confirmed from the product label.
Availability may change at any time.
Product descriptions may occasionally contain errors.

For food, beauty, personal-care, and household products, always review the product label, ingredients, allergen information, warnings, storage instructions, and expiration date before use.

Do not rely solely on the website description when allergies, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or safety concerns are involved.

6. Food Allergies and Dietary Requirements

Some products sold through the website may contain or have come into contact with allergens, including:

Peanuts
Tree nuts
Milk
Eggs
Wheat
Soy
Fish
Shellfish
Sesame
Other allergens

We do not guarantee that any product is completely free from allergens unless expressly stated by the manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for reviewing labels and consulting the manufacturer when additional ingredient or allergen information is required.

Product information on the website is not medical, nutritional, or professional advice.

7. Prices

All prices are displayed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change without notice. The price charged will generally be the price displayed when your order is submitted, subject to correction of obvious errors.

Prices may exclude:

Sales tax
Shipping charges
Delivery fees
Service fees
Vendor fees
Other charges shown during checkout

The full amount payable will be presented before you complete your order.

A displayed price does not guarantee acceptance of an order. Utah law prohibits deceptive claims about product availability and price advantages, so discounts and promotional claims should accurately reflect the offer being provided.

8. Product Availability

All orders are subject to product availability.

A product may become unavailable after an order is submitted because of:

Inventory errors
Unexpected demand
Supplier delays
Damaged stock
Product recalls
Vendor cancellations
Incorrect website information

When a product is unavailable, we may:

Contact you to suggest a replacement.
Remove the unavailable item from your order.
Issue a refund for the unavailable item.
Cancel the affected order.

We will not substitute a product without your approval where the substitute materially differs in price, ingredients, quantity, or type.

9. Placing an Order

Submitting an order is an offer to purchase the products listed in your cart.

After placing an order, you may receive an automatic acknowledgement. This acknowledgement confirms that we received your request but does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

An order is accepted when:

We approve the payment.
We confirm the products are available.

Payment cannot be authorized.
Fraud or unauthorized activity is suspected.
Delivery cannot be completed at the provided address.
The order violates purchase limits.
The order appears intended for unauthorized resale.
The customer violates these Terms.
We are legally prohibited from completing the transaction.

For perishable, frozen, refrigerated, or temperature-sensitive products:

Refrigerate or freeze products immediately where required.
Do not consume products that appear spoiled, damaged, contaminated, or unsafe.

You may be required to present identification or an order confirmation.
Orders not collected within the specified period may be cancelled or restocked.

Perishable food
Refrigerated or frozen products
Opened food products

We may:

Verify vendor information.
Require periodic updates.
Suspend vendors who do not provide required information.
