Terms of service

The Legal Preamble

Apologies for this bit, but it is important.

This website is operated by Kore Studio. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Kore Studio. Kore Studio offers this website, including all information, tools, and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.

By visiting our site and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink.

These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/or contributors of content.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any services.

Any new features or tools which are added to the current store shall also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.

We reserve the right to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and/or changes to our website. While we aim to do so fairly routinely and to inform you via our social or email channels, it is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes.

Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

About you and about the Store

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, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site. In addition to this you are the authorized person facilitating payment.

You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).

Things you shouldn’t do

We appreciate that our customers are the best of the best, however you must not misuse or tamper with our website or other services (“Websites”) (e.g. hack, introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other technologically harmful material or carry out denial of service attacks etc.) or otherwise mess with our tech or functionality or steal our or our customers’ data.

Doing any of these things may be a criminal offense, but they also get in the way of us giving our loyal Kore Studio customers the best service, so we take them incredibly seriously.

Kore Studio will report any such breach or activity (and all information about the people carrying it out) to the relevant law enforcement authorities.

We do, however, still recommend you use virus protection software when using any website, including ours.

Although we have dedicated personnel who work hard to stop people messing with our Website, we sadly can’t guarantee that it will always be secure from bugs, viruses or trouble-makers.

Lastly, you are absolutely not allowed to use automated systems or software to extract data from our Website (AKA ‘screen scraping’).

If you do self-identify as a villain, take note: you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kore Studio, its directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, and affiliates, from any and all third-party claims, liability, damages and/or costs (including, but not limited to, legal fees) arising from your use (or rather misuse) of this Website or your breach of the Terms of Service.

Some more legal bits – General Conditions

Largely we try to avoid this, however and given the statements above, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and be involved in the transmission over various networks, be changed to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

Do not fear, however, credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

Timelines, accuracy and the downfalls of a human team!

We are a constantly evolving organization and as such some elements of the site will be out of date when compared to the next. This document is a great example, it changes over time.

That being said, we are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current.

The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information.

Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.

This site may contain certain historical information. Historical information, necessarily, is not current and is provided for your reference only.

We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on our site. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.

Occasionally there may be information on our site or in the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability.

We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information in the Service or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order).

We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the Service or on any related website, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law. No specified update or refresh date applied in the Service or on any related website, should be taken to indicate that all information in the Service or on any related website has been modified or updated.

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

Prices and Descriptions

We’re a human team and much to our dismay, that means sometimes we make human mistakes. From time to time our excellent, but busy, employees may price up or describe a product or promotion wrongly.

If we discover an error for any goods you’ve ordered, we will tell you as soon as we are able and give you the option of reconfirming your order (at the correct price) or cancelling it.

If we can’t get in touch with you, we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you’ve already paid, we will refund you in full.

Lastly, all descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of us.

The Notebooks! (and other products and services)

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Return Policy. See below, for more on that!

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. One day everyone will use the same monitor, but fortunately, we have not quite been ushered into that dystopia quite yet. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis.

We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of us.

People change and so do we, so we reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. If your fave is missing, please get in touch though! We want to know when things are not to your liking.

Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
