9our name and our workthe wareby brand is ours. shops’ work is theirs.

the wareby name, logo, design and the words we write belong to us. shops’ names, photos and listings belong to the shops.

10what we can and can’t promiseshops are responsible for what they sell.

we check every shop before it opens and we keep an eye on things, but the shops make and sell the items, so they’re responsible for them, including what’s in food. wareby is provided “as is”, and we can’t promise the site will always be available or error free.

to the extent the law allows, wareby isn’t responsible for indirect losses, and our total responsibility for a claim is limited to the greater of what you paid for the order in question or $100. nothing here limits rights you have under the law that can’t be limited.

11if we disagreetalk to us first. minnesota law applies.

please talk to us first at hello@shopwareby.com. most things get sorted quickly. these terms are governed by minnesota law, and any legal dispute goes to the state or federal courts in hennepin county, minnesota, though either of us can use small claims court instead.

12changes to these termswe’ll tell you before big changes.

we’ll update these terms as wareby grows. the date at the top shows the latest version. if a change is big, we’ll tell you by email or on the site before it takes effect.
