Terms of Service

The legal stuff (written with less emotional damage than your childhood)

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using our website and purchasing our products, you agree to these terms. It's like consent, but for shopping. If you don't agree, that's totally valid - we respect your boundaries.

2. Use of Website

You agree to use our website for lawful purposes only:

  • No harassment (we get enough of that from our inner critic)
  • No attempting to hack or disrupt our services
  • No impersonating others (be yourself, that's hard enough)
  • No spam or automated systems

3. Products and Orders

Accuracy: We try to display our products accurately, but screens vary like coping mechanisms.

Availability: Products may sell out faster than you can say “emotional regulation.”

Pricing: Prices are in USD and may change without notice (unlike your trauma, which tends to stick around).

Order Acceptance: We reserve the right to refuse any order (but we probably won't unless you're mean to our customer service team).

4. Payment

We accept major credit cards and PayPal. Payment is processed securely through our payment providers. We don't store your payment information because we can barely remember what we had for breakfast.

5. Shipping and Returns

Please see our detailed Shipping & Returns page. Quick summary:

  • We ship worldwide (trauma is universal)
  • 30-day return policy for unworn items
  • No returns on emotional baggage

6. Intellectual Property

All content on this site (designs, text, graphics, logos) is our property. Please don't steal our therapy jokes - we worked hard on them in group sessions. You may share our content on social media with proper attribution.

7. User Content

If you submit content to us (reviews, photos, etc.), you grant us permission to use it. We might feature your trauma-buddy selfie on our social media (with your permission, of course).

8. Disclaimer

Our products are not a substitute for actual therapy (though they might spark some good conversations). We're not responsible for any breakthrough moments or emotional processing that occurs while wearing our merch.

9. Limitation of Liability

We're not liable for any damages beyond the purchase price of our products. This includes but is not limited to: uncomfortable family dinners, awkward first dates, or having to explain your shirt to your boss.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be handled with the emotional maturity we're all working on in therapy.
