4. Product Information

We strive to accurately describe and display our products. However, minor variations (e.g., jar/label appearance) may occur. All products should be stored and used according to any provided instructions. If you have food allergies or dietary concerns, review ingredient information carefully before purchasing or consuming.

Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. Applicable sales taxes and shipping charges will be calculated and displayed at checkout. Product availability may be limited; we may discontinue products or adjust quantities at any time.

Your order is an offer to purchase. We may accept, refuse, or limit any order at our discretion (e.g., suspected fraud, pricing errors, or inventory constraints). If we cancel an order after payment, we will issue a refund to your original payment method.

We accept payments via third-party processors including Stripe and PayPal. By submitting payment information, you authorize us and our processors to charge the total order amount. We do not store complete payment card details on our servers.

8. Shipping & Delivery

We ship using common carriers (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx or others) with typical delivery timelines of 2–5 business days after order processing. Shipping timelines are estimates and not guarantees; delays may occur beyond our control. Title and risk of loss transfer to you upon our delivery of the order to the carrier. Please ensure your address is accurate; we are not responsible for shipments lost due to incorrect addresses.
