Overview

Welcome to Ten Ren's Tea.

Throughout this website, the terms “Ten Ren’s Tea,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ten Ren’s Tea. We operate this website and online store, including all related information, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”), to provide customers with an online shopping experience. Our online store is powered by Shopify.

By accessing, browsing, or using our Services, including placing an order through our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

These Terms apply to all users of the website, including without limitation customers, browsers, vendors, merchants, and contributors of content.

Eligibility & Account

By using our Services, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your province, territory, or state of residence, or that you have given consent for any minor dependents to use this website under your supervision.

You agree not to use our products or Services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

When making a purchase or creating an account, you may be required to provide personal information including your name, email address, billing address, payment information, and shipping details. You agree that all information provided is accurate, current, and complete.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activities occurring under your account. Accounts may not be transferred, assigned, or shared without our written permission.

Products & Availability

We strive to display product descriptions, images, colors, and packaging as accurately as possible. However, actual product appearance, color, packaging, or labeling may vary depending on device settings, manufacturing updates, or supplier changes.

Certain products may contain or come into contact with common allergens including, but not limited to, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and other allergens. Customers with food allergies or sensitivities should review product information carefully and contact us prior to purchasing if additional information is required.

All product descriptions, pricing, availability, packaging, ingredients, and specifications are subject to change without notice.

We reserve the right to:

  • limit quantities available for purchase;
  • discontinue products at any time;
  • refuse or cancel orders;
  • restrict sales to any individual, geographic region, or jurisdiction where permitted by law.

Products sold through our website are intended for personal or household use only and may not be purchased for unauthorized resale or commercial redistribution.

Orders & Payments

Placing an order through our website constitutes an offer to purchase products subject to these Terms.

We reserve the right to accept, refuse, limit, or cancel any order at our sole discretion, including but not limited to cases involving:

  • suspected fraud or unauthorized transactions;
  • pricing or typographical errors;
  • product availability issues;
  • suspected reseller activity;
  • violations of these Terms.

Orders are not considered accepted until payment has been successfully processed and confirmation has been issued.

Customers are responsible for reviewing all order details carefully prior to submitting an order. Once an order has been placed, changes or cancellations may not be possible.

Applicable taxes and shipping charges will be calculated at checkout in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

All returns, refunds, and exchanges are subject to our Refund Policy [LINK].

Pricing & Promotions

All prices displayed on the website are listed in Canadian Dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated.

Prices, promotions, discounts, product assortments, and availability are subject to change without notice.

Online pricing, promotions, or product availability may differ from pricing or promotions offered in physical retail locations, marketplaces, or third-party platforms.

Although we strive for accuracy, errors relating to pricing, product descriptions, or availability may occasionally occur. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to cancel or refuse orders arising from such errors, even after an order has been submitted.

Shipping & Delivery

Shipping times provided on the website are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that shipping addresses and contact information provided are accurate and complete. We are not responsible for delays, failed deliveries, or additional costs resulting from inaccurate shipping information.

Risk of loss and title for products pass to the customer once the order has been transferred to the shipping carrier.

We are not responsible for delays, damages, losses, or delivery failures caused by:

  • shipping carriers;
  • customs processing;
  • weather conditions;
  • labor disruptions;
  • supply chain interruptions;
  • or events beyond our reasonable control.

For international orders, customers are solely responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other governmental charges that may apply.

Returns & Refunds

Due to the nature of food, beverage, and consumable products, certain items may not be eligible for return or exchange unless defective, damaged, or otherwise required under applicable consumer protection laws.

Customers should inspect orders upon delivery and contact us promptly regarding any damaged, defective, incorrect, or missing items.

Please review our Refund Policy [LINK] for additional details regarding returns, refunds, exchanges, and eligibility requirements.
