TERMS OF SERVICE

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Ember & Wit! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ember & Wit LLC, doing business as Ember & Wit. Ember & Wit operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Ember & Wit is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The terms and conditions below, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state of residence and have given consent to allow your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online store or purchasing any products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for activity occurring through your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.

SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS

We make every reasonable effort to accurately represent our products through descriptions, photographs, and other content on our website. However, colors and product appearance may vary depending on your device, screen settings, lighting, and other factors.

Because many Ember & Wit products are produced or finished in small batches, minor variations in appearance, color, finish, wax appearance, fragrance, or other characteristics may occur between products or batches. These natural variations do not necessarily indicate a product defect.

We do not warrant that the appearance or perceived qualities of a product will exactly match photographs or representations displayed in our online store.

Product descriptions, availability, pricing, and other information may change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue products or limit quantities available to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction.

SECTION 3 – ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Ember & Wit reserves the right to accept or decline an order for legitimate business reasons, including product availability, suspected fraud, pricing or listing errors, shipping limitations, or other circumstances affecting our ability to fulfill the order.

Your order is not accepted until payment has been successfully processed and the order has been accepted by us.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. If you need to request a change or cancellation, contact us as soon as possible at customerservice@emberandwit.com. We will do our best to accommodate requests made before an order has been processed or shipped, but we cannot guarantee that changes or cancellations will be possible.

If we need to change or cancel an order, we will attempt to contact you using the information provided with the order.

Purchases are subject to our Return & Refund Policy.

You represent that purchases made through our store are for personal or household use and not for unauthorized commercial resale or export.

SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged will be the price in effect when your order is placed, subject to correction of genuine pricing or listing errors.

Unless otherwise stated, displayed prices do not include applicable taxes or shipping charges.

We may periodically offer promotions or discounts governed by additional terms. Where promotion-specific terms conflict with these Terms regarding that promotion, the promotion-specific terms will control.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted for your purchase and agree to pay all charges associated with your order, including applicable shipping charges and taxes.

SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Orders are processed and shipped according to our Shipping Policy.

Our standard processing time is generally 2–4 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. Delivery times provided by shipping carriers are estimates and are not guaranteed.

Ember & Wit is not responsible for carrier delays, weather events, or other delivery delays outside our reasonable control. However, if your shipment appears to be lost, damaged, or experiencing an unusual delay, please contact us at customerservice@emberandwit.com and we will work with you and the carrier to help determine the appropriate next steps.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address when placing an order.

For additional information regarding shipping rates, tracking, lost packages, damaged shipments, and delivery, please review our Shipping Policy.

SECTION 6 – PRODUCT USE AND SAFETY

Ember & Wit products should be used only for their intended purposes and in accordance with all instructions, warnings, and care information provided with the product, on its packaging, or on our website.

Candles and other products involving flame or heat must never be left unattended and should be kept away from children, pets, drafts, flammable materials, and other potential hazards. Customers are responsible for following all candle-burning and product safety instructions.

Wax melts should only be used with appropriate wax warmers and according to the warmer manufacturer's instructions.

Car diffusers, fragrance products, soaps, and other Ember & Wit products should be used according to the instructions and warnings provided with the product. Fragrance oils and diffuser liquids may damage certain surfaces if spilled or allowed to make prolonged contact. Customers should promptly clean spills and follow all provided care instructions.

Discontinue use of any product if it appears damaged, behaves unexpectedly, or presents a potential safety concern, and contact us at customerservice@emberandwit.com if you need assistance.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available to you under applicable law or our policies concerning defective products.
