Introduction

Welcome to teechipnews.com (the “Website,” “Store,” “Service”). The Website is owned and operated by Brendan Tharp (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”). These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms,” “Agreement”) govern your access to and use of the Website, services, purchases, and all content, features, and functionality provided by the Store.

By accessing, browsing, or making a purchase on teechipnews.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any or all sections of these Terms, discontinue use immediately.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (“Customer”, “Visitor”, “User”, “you”) and the Company.

1. General Conditions of Use

By using the Service you represent and agree that:

• You are 18 years or older, or using the Website under the supervision of a legal guardian.

• All information provided is truthful, accurate, current, and complete.

• You will not use the Website for any fraudulent, unlawful, or prohibited activity.

• You will not attempt unauthorized access, disrupt Website operations, or exploit system vulnerabilities.

• You comply with all applicable state, national, and international regulations when accessing or purchasing.

Violation of the above conditions may lead to restriction, cancellation of orders, or termination of service.

2. Account and User Responsibility

Account creation is optional and designed for faster checkout and order tracking. By registering an account, you agree that:

• You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of login credentials.

• Activity conducted through your account is your responsibility.

• You must notify us if unauthorized access is suspected.

• The Company may suspend or close accounts that present security risks or fraudulent behavior.

The Store is not liable for losses caused by compromised accounts when credentials were not properly protected by the user.

3. Orders, Accuracy, and Acceptance

Placing an order constitutes a request to purchase, not a guaranteed contract of fulfillment. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders due to:

• Payment verification failure

• Pricing errors

• Stock or inventory conflicts

• Fraud risk or chargeback history

• Technical error causing order misrepresentation

If an order is canceled after payment is received, the refund will be applied via PayPal to the original payer account. You are responsible for verifying your order details before completing checkout.

4. Pricing Policy and Currency Transparency

• All product and shipping prices are displayed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless stated otherwise.

• Prices may be updated at any time without public notice, except for completed orders where price is locked at checkout.

• Discounts or promotional pricing cannot be applied retroactively if not active during checkout.

• We do not mark products as gifts or intentionally undervalue parcels or invoices unless legally required by domestic regulation.

5. Payment Terms

Payment Methods: PayPal (Exclusive primary payment processor)

You agree that:

• All payments must be authorized successfully before fulfillment begins.

• We do not store full credit card information. PayPal handles secure financial data independently.

• Any charge dispute, unauthorized payment, or payment fraud cases are handled according to PayPal’s Resolution Center rulings.

6. Delivery, Carrier, and Risk Transfer

All domestic parcels are shipped using ground-rate reputable carriers selected automatically by our fulfillment system (typically USPS, UPS, or FedEx).
