2.1 Refunds and Returns
All sales of pre-built Shopify stores on our website are final. We do not offer refunds. It is the customer's responsibility to review the store details and conduct due diligence before making a purchase.
2.2 Product Information and Stock Levels
We strive diligently to maintain accurate product information and stock levels on our store at the time of sale. In the rare occurrence of an item or items being temporarily out of stock, please be assured that our exceptional suppliers, with whom we have established long-term relationships, are working to replenish stock promptly. We have been collaborating with these suppliers for years, and their reliability is a testament to our commitment to quality. Nonetheless, customers are urged to verify this information, as with any store on the internet, continuous product availability is not guaranteed.
3. Store Enhancement Packages
3.1 Cancellation Policy
Our store enhancement packages , including website management and advertising plans, are an additional/optional service and do not have contracts and can be cancelled at any time by the customer.
4. Income and Success
4.1 Dependence on Buyer's Efforts
Income, revenue, and profit from the purchased online store depend on various factors, including the buyer's time investment, initial and ongoing funds and drive for success. We are not liable for financial losses resulting from the operation of the business.
4.2 Guidance Disclaimer
We provide guidance to help you start your online business. However, personal research is essential to ensure financial stability after purchase. We are not liable for any loss resulting from running the business.

By providing your email address, you consent to receiving newsletters, blogs, tips, and updates from us.
7. Responsibilities of the Customer
7.1 Store Customisation
Starter stores are sold as-is at the time of sale. The customer is solely responsible for further customisation, theme adjustments, product updates, legal policy updates, and other store-related activities. Additionally, for those seeking a more tailored experience, our website management package is available, allowing for monthly customisation and support.
7.2 Accuracy Verification
While we strive to ensure the accuracy of all information/product information on the store at the time of sale, it remains the customer's responsibility to verify said information before opening the store to the public.
8. Shopify Plan and Domain
8.1 Plan and Domain Responsibilities
The customer must select a Shopify plan immediately after taking ownership of the store and is responsible for plan payments. The pre-installed domain is valid for one year, and the customer is responsible for renewing the domain following the sale.
9. Niche Categories, Product Listings, and Shipping
9.1 Unique Brand Development and Sales
We retain the exclusive right to create, showcase, and sell stores in various niche categories. Even in cases where similar stores may have been previously sold, rest assured that each brand we develop is unique and not duplicated. While product listings may intersect with other stores due to our shared dropshipping supplier, we guarantee the distinctiveness of your brand within the chosen niche.
9.2 Shipping Policy
As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we are pleased to offer free shipping on all our products. Our pricing structure is devised to include a profit margin that accommodates any potential additional shipping charges from the supplier. We recommend that customers conduct due diligence to verify shipping fees associated with their specific orders.
For those who choose not to offer free shipping, we advise the installation of a shipping Shopify app. This app facilitates the calculation of shipping costs during the checkout process, and customers are responsible for installing and configuring it accordingly.
It is crucial to note that while we strive for accuracy, we are not responsible for any losses incurred if the shipping fee, combined with the product price, exceeds the total amount listed on your website. Customers must exercise diligence to align product prices and shipping fees appropriately, ensuring a harmonious balance and preventing any discrepancies.
