Terms of Service
Last updated: September 17, 2026
Welcome to Alfator Co. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your use of our website and online store, including all related content, features, products, services, and tools (collectively, the “Services”).
Alfator Co. is an independent small business based in Alberta, Canada. Our online store is powered by Shopify, which provides the technology that enables us to operate our online store and provide the Services.
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our Services.
These Terms are intended to be clear and understandable. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or exclude any rights or remedies that you may have under applicable law.
1. ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
You must be at least the age of majority in your province or territory of residence to enter into a purchase agreement with us. If you allow a minor to use our Services on a device that you own or control, you are responsible for that minor’s use of the Services.
When using our Services or placing an order, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, billing information, payment information, and shipping address.
You agree that the information you provide is accurate, current, and complete and that you will update it when necessary.
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity that occurs through your account. You must not sell, transfer, or assign your account to another person.
2. OUR PRODUCTS
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, colours, sizing information, and other product information on our website are accurate.
However, the colour and appearance of products may vary depending on your device, screen settings, lighting, and other factors. Product images are provided for illustration and may not perfectly represent the physical item.
Our embroidered products are made to order. Because each item is prepared individually, minor variations in embroidery, placement, thread appearance, or other details may occur.
We may update product descriptions, photographs, prices, availability, and other information from time to time.
We may discontinue products or limit quantities available for purchase. If we do so after you have placed an order, we will contact you where appropriate and provide any refund required by applicable law.
3. ORDERS
When you place an order through our website, you are submitting a request to purchase the products in your cart.
An order is accepted when we send you an order confirmation or otherwise confirm that we have accepted the order.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where permitted by law, including where there is an obvious pricing or product-description error, suspected fraud or unauthorized activity, inventory or production issues, or circumstances that prevent us from fulfilling the order.
If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled order or affected items.
Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Because our products are made to order, cancellation requests may not be possible once production has started.
Returns and refunds are governed by our Return & Refund Policy.
4. PRICES AND PAYMENT
All prices are displayed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices, discounts, promotions, and product availability may change from time to time. The price applicable to your order is the price displayed when you place your order, subject to obvious errors.
Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other charges will be shown at checkout where applicable.
You agree to provide accurate and complete billing and payment information.
By submitting payment information, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.
Payments are processed through payment providers made available through our Shopify-powered store. We do not have access to your complete payment card information.
5. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Our products are made to order and are generally processed within 3–5 business days before shipment.
Processing time does not include shipping time.
Orders are shipped from Alberta, Canada. Available shipping methods and estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout based on your shipping destination.
We currently ship to Canada and the United States. International shipping may be available for certain destinations.
Delivery dates and shipping estimates are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Delays may occur because of carrier issues, weather, customs processing, incorrect addresses, holidays, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Once an order has been handed to the shipping carrier, the carrier is responsible for transportation and delivery. We will reasonably assist with tracking or shipping issues when possible.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. We are not responsible for delays or additional shipping costs resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address, except where required by applicable law.
For international orders, the customer may be responsible for customs duties, taxes, brokerage charges, or other import fees imposed by the destination country.
Free Shipping
We offer free shipping on orders of $100 CAD or more, subject to the shipping terms and exclusions displayed at checkout.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All content available through our Services, including our name, logo, product designs, embroidery designs, photographs, graphics, text, product descriptions, videos, audio, website design, and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Alfator Co. and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may use our website and its content for your personal, non-commercial shopping purposes.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, create derivative works from, or otherwise commercially exploit our content without our prior written permission.
You may not use the Alfator Co. name, logo, designs, or other trademarks without our prior written permission.
Shopify and its related names, logos, and trademarks belong to Shopify or its respective owners.
All other trademarks appearing on our Services belong to their respective owners.
7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND TOOLS
Our Services may use third-party services, applications, tools, payment processors, shipping providers, analytics providers, or other technology providers.
These third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies. Your use of those services may be subject to those third-party terms.
We are not responsible for the independent operation, availability, security, or policies of third-party services to the extent permitted by law.
Shopify provides the technology that supports our online store. Purchases made through our store are transactions between you and Alfator Co.
8. THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our Services may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
These links are provided for convenience. We do not control or guarantee the accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites.
If you choose to visit a third-party website, you do so subject to that website's own terms and policies.
9. SHOPIFY
Our online store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify provides the technology and infrastructure that allow us to offer our Services online. However, purchases made through our store are made directly between you and Alfator Co.
Shopify is not responsible for the products we sell, our order fulfilment, our return policy, or other aspects of transactions between you and Alfator Co., except as otherwise required by law or provided under Shopify's own agreements and policies.
For information about Shopify's privacy practices, please review Shopify's privacy documentation.
10. PRIVACY
Your use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy.
We collect, use, and disclose personal information as described in that policy and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Because our store is powered by Shopify and we use other service providers, personal information may be processed or stored by service providers located outside Canada.
For more information about how we handle personal information, including information about service providers outside Canada, please review our Privacy Policy.
11. CUSTOMER REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK
If you voluntarily submit reviews, comments, photographs, suggestions, ideas, or other content to us (“Feedback”), you represent that you have the right to provide that content.
By submitting Feedback, you grant Alfator Co. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, display, publish, modify, and distribute the Feedback for purposes related to operating, improving, and promoting our business and Services.
We may remove or decline to publish Feedback that is unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, misleading, obscene, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate.
You remain responsible for the content you submit.
12. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on our website accurate and up to date.
However, occasional typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or outdated information may occur, including in product descriptions, pricing, promotions, availability, shipping information, or other content.
Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to correct errors and update information.
If an obvious error affects an order you have placed, we may contact you to explain the issue and, where appropriate, provide you with the option to confirm the corrected order or receive a refund for the affected item.

14. AUTOMATED ACCESS AND AGENTS
Automated software, bots, crawlers, agents, or other automated systems must not access or interact with our Services in a way that violates these Terms or our technical restrictions.
Where automated access is permitted, the automated system must accurately identify itself and must not attempt to disguise automated activity as human activity.
Automated systems must not bypass security measures, access controls, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, robots exclusion instructions, or other technical measures designed to control access to our Services.
We may restrict or block automated access where reasonably necessary to protect our website, customers, systems, or business.
15. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate access to an account or our Services where permitted by law, including where we reasonably believe that a person has violated these Terms, engaged in fraud or unlawful activity, or interfered with the operation or security of our Services.
Termination does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination or provisions that are intended to continue after termination.
16. WARRANTIES AND CONSUMER RIGHTS
We provide our Services and products in accordance with applicable law.
Except where expressly provided or required by law, we do not guarantee that our website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability or excludes any rights or remedies where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
18. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses or reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your intentional misuse of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of another person.
Nothing in this section requires you to indemnify us for matters caused by our own negligence, unlawful conduct, or other circumstances where such an obligation cannot legally be imposed.
19. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary.
The remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20. NO WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we have waived our right to enforce it later.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Return & Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, and any other policies expressly incorporated into these Terms, form the agreement governing your use of our Services.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and a specific policy relating to a particular transaction, the more specific policy will apply to that transaction to the extent of the conflict.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights that cannot legally be waived.
21. ASSIGNMENT
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, except where permitted by applicable law.
We may transfer or assign our rights and obligations in connection with a sale, restructuring, reorganization, or other business transaction, subject to applicable law.

Subject to any mandatory rights or remedies available to consumers under applicable law, disputes relating to these Terms or transactions with Alfator Co. will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta.
Nothing in this section prevents you from exercising a right or remedy that cannot legally be restricted by a contractual choice of jurisdiction.
