You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Porcelain & Leaf, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of our services, violation of these terms, or infringement of any third-party rights. This obligation survives termination of your use of our services.

No Warranties

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content or information provided through our services.

Educational Purpose Disclaimer

The information provided through our services is for educational and cultural enrichment purposes only. We do not make health claims or guarantee specific outcomes from tea consumption or participation in our programs. Individual experiences with tea and tea culture may vary based on personal preferences, dedication to practice, and individual circumstances.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Porcelain & Leaf shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your access to or use of our services. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.

Third-Party Links and Content

Our services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links only as a convenience and do not endorse or take responsibility for the content, products, or services offered by third parties. Your interactions with third-party sites are governed by their terms and privacy policies, not ours.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Porcelain & Leaf operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within that jurisdiction for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

Dispute Resolution Process

In the event of any dispute arising from these terms or your use of our services, you agree to first contact us to attempt to resolve the matter informally. We will make good faith efforts to resolve disputes amicably. If informal resolution is unsuccessful, disputes may be resolved through mediation or arbitration as mutually agreed upon, or through litigation in the appropriate courts.

Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the intent of the original provision.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or agreements published by us on our website, constitute the entire agreement between you and Porcelain & Leaf regarding your use of our services. These terms supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Porcelain & Leaf.
