Terms of Service

1. Who we are, and what you are agreeing to

Verse·Shop is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] Ltd., a company registered in Israel under number [ISRAELI COMPANY REGISTRATION NUMBER], with its registered office at [STREET, CITY, POSTAL CODE], Israel (“we”, “us”, “our”). You can reach us at info [at] myverseshop [dot] com.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legally binding contract between you and us. They govern your access to and use of myverseshop.com, every creator storefront hosted on it (including subdomains and connected custom domains), and every product, service, feature and communication we provide (together, the “Service”).

You accept these Terms when you tick a box marked with words to the effect of “I have read and agree”, or when you create an account, place an order, start a paid plan, or otherwise use the Service. Ticking that box is an electronic signature. You agree that it has the same legal force as a handwritten signature, that the agreement it forms is enforceable against you, and that you will not contest its validity, formation or admissibility on the ground that it was made electronically. We keep a record of each acceptance, including the document accepted, its version, and the date and time.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. There is no partial acceptance.

Additional documents form part of this agreement and are incorporated by reference: the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Content Policy, the Copyright & IP Policy, the Returns & Replacements Policy, the Shipping & Delivery Policy, and the Billing, Plans & Ink Terms. If you open a storefront, the Creator Agreement also applies and, where it conflicts with these Terms in relation to your activity as a creator, the Creator Agreement prevails.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to create an account or place an order. The Service is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. Tell us immediately at info [at] myverseshop [dot] com if you suspect unauthorised access.

You may not use the Service if you are located in, ordinarily resident in, or organised under the laws of a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions, or if you appear on any applicable restricted-party list. You confirm that you are not such a person and that you will not make the Service available to one.

One person or entity, one account, unless we agree otherwise in writing. We may refuse, suspend or close an account at our discretion, including where we reasonably believe an account is used to evade an earlier suspension.

3. What the Service is — and what it is not

Verse·Shop is a hosting and publishing platform. Independent writers (“creators”) upload text and artwork, arrange it into designs, and offer those designs printed onto physical products. We provide the tools, the storefront, the checkout and the logistics arrangement. We do not write, select, verify, endorse or adopt creator content.

All poems, text, artwork, storefront copy, product names, images and other material supplied by a creator is “Creator Content”. Creator Content is the sole responsibility of the creator who supplied it. It does not represent our views. We are not the author, editor or publisher of Creator Content for the purposes of any law that distinguishes between a host and an author, and nothing in the Service should be read as us adopting or vouching for it.

We have no general obligation to monitor Creator Content, to search actively for facts indicating illegality, or to pre-screen anything before it is published. We may, entirely at our discretion and without assuming any duty to do so, review, filter, flag, age-restrict, refuse, edit, remove, delist or disable any Creator Content or any storefront, at any time and without notice. Doing so on one occasion creates no obligation to do so on another, and does not make us the author or editor of anything.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your rights or breaks the law, use the reporting routes in our Copyright & IP Policy and Content Policy. That is the fastest way to have it dealt with.

We do not guarantee that any storefront, product, design or feature will remain available. Products depend on third-party production partners and can be discontinued, re-priced or withdrawn at any time.

4. Buying: orders, prices and taxes

When you buy a physical item on Verse·Shop, you buy it from [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] Ltd.. We are the merchant of record and the seller of record for that transaction. We arrange production and delivery through independent production and logistics partners, who act as our subcontractors and with whom you have no separate contract.

Product listings are an invitation to treat, not an offer. Your order is an offer to buy. A contract is formed only when we accept your order, which happens when we send you an order confirmation or dispatch the item, whichever is earlier. Until then we may decline or cancel any order — for example where an item is unavailable, where a price or description was wrong, where we suspect fraud, or where the design has been removed under our Content Policy. If we cancel after taking payment, we refund in full.

Prices are shown in the storefront's display currency and are converted from a base price. The amount actually charged to your payment method is the amount shown at checkout at the moment you confirm. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own conversion or cross-border fees; those are outside our control.

Prices exclude any import duties, customs charges, handling fees and destination taxes unless the checkout expressly states otherwise. Where those are payable, they are payable by you, on delivery or on demand from the carrier or authority. Refusing a parcel to avoid such charges is not a return and does not entitle you to a refund.

Payments are processed by our payment service provider. We do not receive or store your full card number. By submitting an order you authorise the charge shown at checkout, and you confirm you are authorised to use the payment method.

We may correct obvious pricing or description errors, including after an order is placed. Where the corrected price is materially higher, we will contact you and let you cancel for a full refund rather than proceed.

5. Made to order: what that means for you

Every item is produced individually after you order it. Nothing is held in stock. This has consequences you accept when you buy:

• Production takes time before shipping begins, and estimates are estimates, not guarantees.
• Printed colour will not match your screen exactly. Screens are backlit and calibrated differently; ink on fabric or paper is not. Reasonable colour variation is not a defect.
• Print position, sizing and finish vary slightly between individual items. Reasonable variation is not a defect.
• Garment sizing follows the production partner's size chart, not a local standard. Check the chart before ordering.
• Because items are made to your order and are not held as stock, change-of-mind returns are limited. See the Returns & Replacements Policy.

Where an item arrives damaged, defective or misprinted, our obligation is to replace it, or at our election to refund it, on the terms of the Returns & Replacements Policy. That is your exclusive remedy for a production or delivery fault, except where the law where you live gives you rights that cannot be excluded — those rights are unaffected.

Risk of loss and title in an item pass to you on delivery to the address you gave. You are responsible for giving a complete and correct delivery address. We are not liable for items delivered to an address you entered incorrectly.

6. Creators and storefronts

Anyone may apply to open a storefront. Doing so requires acceptance of the Creator Agreement, which sets out ownership, licensing, warranties, commission, payouts and removal. Nothing in these Terms limits the Creator Agreement.

Creators set their own retail prices within the ranges the platform allows, choose their own products, and write their own storefront copy. A storefront is the creator's shop window, not ours, even though it runs on our infrastructure and under our brand.

A creator is an independent party. Nothing in this agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship between a creator and us.

7. Intellectual property

The Verse·Shop name, wordmark, logos, site design, typography engine, templates, software and all other material we supply are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. Everything else is reserved. In particular, you may not copy, scrape, mirror, frame, reverse-engineer or create derivative works from the Service or its software, or use automated means to extract data from it, without our prior written consent.

Creators keep ownership of their own text and artwork. Buying a printed item transfers ownership of that physical object only. It does not transfer any copyright, and it does not give you the right to reproduce, resell commercially, or make derivative works from the design printed on it.

If you send us feedback, suggestions or ideas about the Service, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose, without obligation or attribution.

Rights-holders: see the Copyright & IP Policy for how to send a takedown notice and how repeat infringement is handled.

8. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to upload, publish, sell, transmit or link to anything that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative of minors, or otherwise prohibited by our Content Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

You may not interfere with the Service or its security: no probing, scanning, penetration testing, credential stuffing, rate-limit evasion, malware, denial-of-service, unauthorised automated access, or attempts to access data that is not yours.

You may not use the Service to send unsolicited commercial messages, to harvest personal data, or to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine-learning model on Creator Content or on our material without our prior written consent.

You may not misrepresent your identity or affiliation, impersonate a creator, or set up a storefront designed to be mistaken for someone else's.

9. Suspension, removal and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access, remove any content, close any storefront, cancel any pending order, and withhold or reverse any payout, immediately and without prior notice, where we reasonably believe that you have breached this agreement or any policy incorporated into it, that content is unlawful or infringing, that continued availability exposes us or a third party to legal risk, that fraud or payment abuse is occurring, or that we are required to act by law or by a payment or production partner.

Where the circumstances allow it and the law does not require otherwise, we will tell you what we did and why, and you may respond to info [at] myverseshop [dot] com. We will consider a well-founded response and may reinstate. We are not obliged to disclose detection methods or reporter identity.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may ask us to close your account at info [at] myverseshop [dot] com. Closure does not entitle you to a refund of amounts already paid, except where a policy or mandatory law says otherwise, and does not cancel obligations already accrued.

The following survive termination: sections 7 (Intellectual property), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of liability), 12 (Indemnity), 15 (Governing law and disputes) and 16 (General), together with any provision that by its nature should survive.

10. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and everything available through it are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. We specifically disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that the Service is free of harmful components, or that any content on it is accurate, lawful, original, non-infringing or suitable for any purpose.

We make no representation whatsoever about Creator Content. We do not verify that a creator owns what they upload, that a poem is original, that a claim in a storefront is true, or that a product is suitable for you. Any reliance on Creator Content is at your own risk.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of independent production partners, carriers, payment providers, or any other third party, or for content on any third-party site we link to.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply to the maximum extent permitted, and nothing here removes a right you have that cannot lawfully be removed.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data, anticipated savings or opportunity, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether or not we were advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this agreement or the Service, for all claims combined, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid us in the twelve months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).

We are not liable for any claim arising from Creator Content, from a dispute between you and a creator, from a dispute between you and a buyer, or from a third party's assertion that content on the Service infringes their rights.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, this section does not affect statutory rights that cannot be waived under the law of your country of residence.

The allocation of risk in sections 10 and 11 is a fundamental basis of the bargain between us, and applies even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] Ltd., its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any claim, demand, proceeding, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, cost and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with: (a) content you upload, publish, sell or transmit through the Service; (b) your breach of this agreement or of any policy incorporated into it; (c) your infringement or misappropriation of any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other right; (d) your violation of any law; or (e) any dispute between you and another user.

We will notify you of any claim to which this applies, and you will not settle it in a way that imposes an obligation or admission on us without our prior written consent. We may assume exclusive control of the defence at your expense, and you will cooperate with us.

13. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties, including production partners, carriers, payment providers, hosting and database providers, email providers and image-generation providers. Their own terms apply to their own services. We are not responsible for their acts, omissions, outages, pricing or policies.

Links from the Service to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We do not control and do not endorse them.

14. Changes

We may change these Terms and any incorporated policy. The current version, its version number and its effective date are always published on this page.

Where a change is material, we will give reasonable notice — by email to the address on your account, by notice in the Service, or both — before it takes effect. Where the law requires it, or where the change materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations, we will ask you to accept the new version before you can continue to use the affected part of the Service, and we will record that acceptance.

Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and close your account. Changes never apply retroactively to an order already accepted.

15. Governing law and disputes

This agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it — including non-contractual disputes — is governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The the competent courts of Tel Aviv–Jaffa, Israel have exclusive jurisdiction, and you submit to that jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings in your own courts or to the protection of your own consumer law, that right is unaffected by this section.

Before starting proceedings, you agree to contact us at info [at] myverseshop [dot] com with a written description of the dispute and the outcome you want, and to allow thirty (30) days for us to try to resolve it. This is a condition of bringing a claim, except for injunctive relief or a claim in a small-claims court.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved individually. You and we each waive the right to bring or take part in a class, collective, consolidated or representative action. If this waiver is unenforceable in your jurisdiction, it does not apply to you, and the rest of this section stands.

Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or the shortest period the applicable law permits if that is longer.

16. General

Entire agreement. This agreement, together with the policies incorporated into it, is the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and replaces any earlier understanding. You confirm that you have not relied on any statement not set out in it.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the rest remains in force.

No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this agreement without our written consent. We may assign it, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including war, civil unrest, natural disaster, epidemic, strike, carrier failure, supplier failure, sanctions, government action, network or utility failure, or cyberattack.

Notices. We may give notice by email to the address on your account, or by posting in the Service. You must give notice to info [at] myverseshop [dot] com. Notice is effective when sent.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only, and the English version prevails in the event of a conflict, except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.

No third-party beneficiaries, except that our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors may enforce sections 10, 11 and 12.
