Terms of Service
A legal disclaimer
Welcome to Ritual Magazine. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of ritualmag.net, including our online store, editorial content, and other services available through our website.
Ritual Magazine is an independent publication dedicated to music, art, culture, and creative expression. Our online shop offers merchandise inspired by our publication and creative community, including apparel, headwear, drinkware, and other products.
By accessing our website or purchasing from our store, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using our website or placing an order.
1. BUSINESS INFORMATION
This website is operated by Aurawave LLC, doing business as Ritual Magazine ("Ritual Magazine," "Ritual," "we," "us," or "our").
Website: https://ritualmag.net
Customer Service: editor@ritualmag.net
These Terms apply to all visitors, customers, and other individuals who access or use our website.
2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCEPTABLE USE
By using this website, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or have the permission and legal authority required to make purchases under applicable law.
You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes. You may not use our website to engage in fraudulent activity, interfere with website operations, attempt unauthorized access to our systems, or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to our website when reasonably necessary to address unlawful activity, fraud, abuse, or violations of these Terms.
3. PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Ritual Magazine offers physical merchandise, which may include hats, coffee mugs, apparel, printed goods, and other creative products.
We make reasonable efforts to display our products and describe their features accurately. However, the following variations may occur:
-
Colors may appear differently depending on your screen, device, or display settings.
-
Product images may be mockups or digital representations of the finished item.
-
Minor variations in print placement, texture, dimensions, materials, or production may occur.
-
Product availability, designs, and specifications may change without prior notice.
We do not guarantee that every product will appear exactly as represented on every device or screen.
We reserve the right to discontinue products, modify designs, correct listing errors, and limit quantities when appropriate.
4. ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE
When you place an order, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information, including your name, email address, shipping address, and payment details.
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products. Your order is subject to acceptance by Ritual Magazine.
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit an order when reasonably necessary, including in cases involving suspected fraud, inaccurate pricing, product unavailability, or fulfillment issues.
If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will arrange an appropriate refund to your original payment method, subject to applicable law.
Please review your order carefully before completing checkout. If you notice an error, contact us as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that an order can be changed or canceled after it has entered production or fulfillment.
An order confirmation email does not necessarily mean that an order has shipped.
5. PRICING, PAYMENTS, AND TAXES
All prices are displayed in the currency indicated at checkout.
Prices and product availability may change without notice. The price charged for an order will generally be the price displayed when the order is placed, except where correction of a pricing error or applicable law requires otherwise.
Applicable sales taxes and other charges will be displayed at checkout when required.
Payment must be successfully processed before an order can proceed to fulfillment.
We use third-party payment processing services to facilitate transactions. By making a purchase, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge your selected payment method for the order total.
We do not intentionally collect or store complete payment card details through the website when those details are handled by our payment processing provider.
If a payment fails or is reversed, we may be unable to process or fulfill the order.
6. PRODUCTION AND FULFILLMENT
Some products sold through Ritual Magazine may be produced and fulfilled by third-party providers, including print-on-demand services.
These providers may manufacture, print, package, and ship products on our behalf.
Because some merchandise is produced after an order is placed, production and fulfillment times may vary depending on product availability, manufacturing schedules, carrier conditions, and other circumstances.
Estimated production or delivery times are not guarantees unless expressly stated otherwise.
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including carrier disruptions, severe weather, customs processing, manufacturing interruptions, or other unforeseen events. This does not limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.
7. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Shipping options, applicable charges, and estimated delivery times will be displayed at checkout when available.
Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. Additional charges or delivery complications resulting from incorrect or incomplete information may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
Once an order has shipped, delivery is generally handled by the designated shipping carrier.
If a shipment is delayed, lost, damaged, or marked as delivered but cannot be located, please contact us at [INSERT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL]. We will make reasonable efforts to help investigate the issue with the applicable fulfillment provider or carrier.
International orders, if offered, may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or other charges imposed by the destination country. Unless otherwise stated at checkout, these charges are the customer's responsibility.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available to customers under applicable law.
8. RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND DAMAGED PRODUCTS
We want customers to receive merchandise that meets reasonable expectations for quality and accuracy.
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from what you ordered, contact us at [INSERT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL] with your order number, a description of the issue, and photographs when appropriate.
Please report issues as soon as reasonably possible so we can investigate and coordinate with our fulfillment provider.
Returns and refunds for unwanted items: [INSERT YOUR RETURN POLICY, INCLUDING WHETHER UNWANTED OR INCORRECTLY SIZED ITEMS MAY BE RETURNED.]
Made-to-order merchandise: Some products may be produced specifically in response to an order. This may affect whether a return is accepted for reasons such as a change of mind or an incorrect size selection. Any applicable restrictions will be disclosed in our return policy and product listings.
Damaged, defective, or incorrect merchandise: We will review reported issues and, where appropriate, arrange a replacement, refund, or other remedy in accordance with our policies and applicable law.
Customers should not return merchandise without first contacting us for instructions.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
Our return and refund policy may be published separately on our website and should be read together with these Terms.

11. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS
Our website may use or link to third-party services, including payment processors, production and fulfillment providers, shipping carriers, social media platforms, and external websites.
These services may operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and procedures.
We do not control all aspects of third-party services and are not responsible for their independent policies or practices. However, this does not relieve us of our own obligations to customers under applicable law.
Your use of third-party services may be subject to additional terms imposed by those providers.
12. PRIVACY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

13. DISCLAIMERS
To the extent permitted by applicable law, our website and its general content are provided on an "as available" basis.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website or that it will always be free of technical errors, interruptions, or security vulnerabilities.
Product-specific warranties, if any, will be described in the applicable product information or accompanying documentation.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, limits, or modifies any warranty or consumer protection right that cannot legally be excluded, limited, or modified.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aurawave LLC and Ritual Magazine will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of our website or the purchase or use of our products, where such exclusions are legally permitted.
This provision does not exclude or limit liability for matters that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including applicable statutory consumer rights.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability to the extent that doing so would be unlawful under applicable law.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, or expenses arising directly from your unlawful use of our website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.
Nothing in this section creates an obligation to indemnify us for our own unlawful conduct or for any liability that cannot legally be shifted to you.
16. CHANGES TO OUR WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS
We may update our website, product offerings, and these Terms from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this document. Material changes will be communicated when required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are published indicates acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you should discontinue use of the website.
Changes to these Terms will not retroactively remove rights that customers have already acquired under applicable law.
17. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Any dispute will be handled by a court or other forum with appropriate jurisdiction, subject to applicable consumer protection laws and any mandatory rights available to the parties.
Nothing in this section prevents a customer from exercising rights available under mandatory laws applicable to their purchase.
18. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
A failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce that provision later.
