Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to purchase our Products or enter into these Terms. By placing an order, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

2. Products and descriptions

We make reasonable efforts to display our Products and their features accurately. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, colors, or other content are error-free, complete, or current. Actual products may vary slightly from images shown on the website. We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any Product at any time.

3. Orders and acceptance

Your submission of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we may refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including where we suspect fraud, pricing errors, or stock unavailability. A contract is formed only when we confirm your order or ship the Products. If we cancel an order after payment, we will issue a refund for the affected items.

4. Pricing and payment

• All prices are shown in the currency indicated at checkout and may change without notice.
• Unless stated otherwise, prices exclude applicable taxes, duties, and shipping fees, which are added at checkout.
• Payment must be made in full at the time of purchase through our authorized payment providers.
• In the event of an obvious pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund any amount paid, even after order confirmation.

5. Custom and personalized products

Certain Products are produced to order based on details you provide, such as logos, images, business names, or Google review links. By submitting such materials, you represent that you own or have the right to use them and grant us a limited license to use them solely to produce and fulfill your order. Because custom Products are made specifically for you, they may be non-returnable except where defective, as described in our Refund Policy.

6. Shipping and delivery

We aim to process and ship orders within the timeframes stated on the website. Delivery dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, or events beyond our reasonable control.

7. Returns and refunds

Returns, refunds, and exchanges are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it before making a purchase.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the website or Products for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or interfere with the website's operation;
• Resell or misrepresent our Products without authorization;
• Use our Products in a way that violates any third-party platform's rules, including Google's review or business policies;
• Upload content that infringes intellectual property rights or is unlawful or offensive.

9. Reviews, ratings, and third-party platforms

Our Products help businesses invite customers to leave feedback on third-party platforms such as Google. You are solely responsible for using our Products in compliance with the applicable platform's terms and guidelines, including any rules prohibiting incentivized, fake, or solicited reviews. We are not responsible for actions taken by third-party platforms, including the removal of reviews or business listings.

10. Intellectual property

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, and designs, is owned by or licensed to Automate Effect and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission. The “Automate Effect” name and logo are our trademarks and may not be used without authorization.

11. Warranties and disclaimers

We warrant that Products will be free from material defects in workmanship under normal use at the time of delivery. Except as expressly stated and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and Products are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee any specific increase in reviews, ratings, or business results from using our Products.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Automate Effect and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the website or Products. Our total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the Product giving rise to the claim.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Automate Effect from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website or Products, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including content you submit for custom Products.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Automate Effect operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts located in that jurisdiction, unless applicable law grants you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the website or Products after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
