The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, ‘terms of service’), govern your access to and use of our services, whether as a guest or a registered user. ‘Services’ means Kawaii Essentials’ website and content. Please read the Terms of Service carefully before you start to use the services. By using the services or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and by our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference.

By Using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a biding contract with Kawaii Essentials, are not associated with a company providing similar services, and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the services.


2. Updates to the Terms

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Website. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Service means that You accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so You are aware of any changes, as they are binding on You.

3. Accessing the Services

We reserve the right to introduce, withdraw or amend websites, or any content, material, product offering or other Services, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Services, or the entire Services, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for You to have access to the Services. To access the third-party Services (e.g. merchandise through Etsy and/or NFTs through Opensea) You may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of Your use of the Services that all the information You provide to access the Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information You provide to register for these Services or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any Purchaser-only features, is governed by our Privacy Policy and You consent to all actions we take with respect to Your information consistent with our Privacy Policy. Depending of the Services you use, you also comply to the Privacy Policy of third-party Services and have read these carefully. If You choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, You must treat such information as confidential, and You must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that Your account is personal to You and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of them using Your user name, password, or other security information — not even to another person associated with Your business. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to or use of Your user name or password or any other breach of security. If You are using a public or shared computer, You also agree to ensure that You exit from Your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing Your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record Your password or other personal information. We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by You or provided by us, at any time if, in our opinion, You have violated any provision of these Terms of Service.
