OVERVIEW

This website is operated by 9471-1587 Quebec Inc., doing business as Belmont Body Jewelry (“Belmont Body Jewelry,” “Belmont,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Throughout the site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to 9471-1587 Quebec Inc. Belmont Body Jewelry offers this website, including all information, products, services, features and tools available through the site (collectively, the “Services”), subject to your acceptance of these Terms of Service.

By visiting our website, creating an account, applying for a professional account, purchasing products, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and any policies referenced herein, including our Privacy Policy and Shipping & Returns Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our Services.

Our store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our products and Services.

SECTION 1 — ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS

By using our Services, you represent that you have reached the age of majority in your province, state, or jurisdiction of residence, or that you otherwise have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

You are responsible for providing accurate, current and complete information when creating an account, applying for a professional account, or placing an order.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and for activity conducted through your account.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict or terminate an account where we reasonably believe that the account has been used fraudulently, improperly, or in violation of these Terms.

SECTION 2 — PRODUCTS

Belmont Body Jewelry offers body jewelry, piercing-related products, tools and other products to retail customers and industry professionals.

We make reasonable efforts to display our products, finishes, stones, dimensions and colours as accurately as possible. However, product appearance may vary slightly depending on lighting, photography, manufacturing tolerances, screen settings and the device used to view our website.

Customers are responsible for reviewing all available product information, including sizing, gauge, threading, dimensions, materials and compatibility, before purchasing.

Product descriptions, specifications, availability and pricing may be updated or corrected at any time.

We reserve the right to discontinue products or limit quantities where reasonably necessary.

SECTION 3 — BODY JEWELRY AND PROFESSIONAL USE

Certain products sold by Belmont Body Jewelry are intended for use by trained piercing professionals.

Product information provided on our website is for general informational purposes and does not constitute medical advice or professional piercing instruction.

Customers and professionals are responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate for its intended application and for following applicable professional standards, sterilization procedures, infection-control practices and local requirements.

Nothing on our website should be interpreted as a substitute for professional medical advice.

SECTION 4 — ORDERS

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the products included in your order.

We reserve the right to accept, reject or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in cases involving suspected fraud, payment issues, inventory errors, incorrect pricing, product availability or violations of these Terms.

An order is not considered accepted until payment has been successfully processed and the order has been confirmed.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Because orders may enter processing quickly, we cannot guarantee that an order can be changed or cancelled after it has been placed.

If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

SECTION 5 — PRICING AND PAYMENT

Unless otherwise stated, prices displayed on the website are in the currency shown during your shopping session or checkout.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges, duties, customs fees or other charges may be added where required.

Prices, promotions and discounts may change without notice.

The price applicable to an order is the price displayed and applicable to that customer at the time the order is submitted, subject to correction of obvious pricing or technical errors.

You agree to provide accurate and authorized payment information and represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.

SECTION 6 — PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTS AND WHOLESALE PRICING

Belmont Body Jewelry offers professional accounts and wholesale pricing to eligible piercing professionals, studios and other approved businesses.

Submitting a professional account application does not guarantee approval.

We reserve the right to review, approve, decline, suspend or revoke professional account access based on eligibility and the information provided to us.

Professional pricing is available only to approved professional customers and may require the customer to sign in using the account associated with the approved business.

Professional pricing, products, quantities, minimums, promotions and other commercial terms may differ from those available to retail customers.

Professional account credentials and pricing are intended only for the approved customer or business and must not be shared with unauthorized parties.

Unless expressly permitted by us, professional pricing may not be combined with other discounts or promotional offers.

We reserve the right to modify professional pricing or account eligibility at any time.

SECTION 7 — RESALE

Approved professional customers may purchase products for legitimate commercial use or resale in connection with their professional business.

Retail customers may not purchase products for unauthorized commercial resale, redistribution or other commercial purposes without our prior authorization.

Belmont Body Jewelry reserves the right to restrict quantities, cancel orders or suspend accounts where we reasonably believe professional pricing or products are being misused.

SECTION 8 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Orders are processed and shipped in accordance with our Shipping & Returns Policy.

Delivery dates and transit times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs authorities, weather, service interruptions or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

International shipments may be subject to customs duties, tariffs, taxes or other fees imposed by the destination country. Unless otherwise stated, these charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

SECTION 9 — RETURNS, FINAL SALE AND ORDER ISSUES

For hygiene and safety reasons, body jewelry sales are final, except where otherwise required by applicable law or where we expressly authorize a return.

If an item arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery and provide your order number and clear photographs of the item and packaging.

Authorized returns and other order issues are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any mandatory rights or remedies available to consumers under applicable law.

Your use of certain Shopify-provided functionality may also be subject to Shopify's applicable terms and privacy practices.

SECTION 14 — PRIVACY

Our collection, use and disclosure of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

Because our store is hosted by Shopify and may use third-party service providers, information may be processed by Shopify and other service providers as necessary to operate our website, process transactions and provide our Services.

Any dispute will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
