The terms “we”, “us”, “our” refer to The Dustpan and Brush Store; “you”, “your”, “customer”, “visitor” refer to all individuals accessing our website.
By visiting, creating an account, submitting contact forms, completing checkout, purchasing electric brushes, lint removers, beauty kits, mops, buckets, floor brushes, squeegees, brooms or any other cleaning merchandise on our site, you fully acknowledge reading, understanding, and unconditionally agreeing to every clause within these Terms of Service, alongside our separate Return & Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and Shipping Policy hosted permanently on our website. If you do not accept these terms in full, you are prohibited from using any portion of our website or completing any purchases.
This website and all its content, product listings, checkout functionality, and customer service tools are hosted on the Shopify e-commerce platform. All platform-level rules mandated by Shopify apply in conjunction with these custom store terms.

2. Eligibility to Use Our Website & Place Orders

All users must meet the following eligibility standards to browse and shop at https://thedustpanandbrushstore.shop:
  1. You are a minimum of 18 years of legal age or hold valid parental/legal guardian consent if under 18; we do not knowingly collect data or process orders from minors without verified guardian approval.
  2. You possess full legal capacity to enter binding commercial purchase contracts for household cleaning and beauty products.
  3. You will not use our website for fraudulent, illegal, infringing, abusive, or malicious activity of any kind.
  4. You hold valid payment methods registered under your legal identity for completing checkout transactions.
If we identify you fail to satisfy any eligibility rule, we reserve the right to restrict your site access, cancel pending orders, and block your customer account permanently without prior refund for orders flagged as fraudulent.

3. Account Registration & User Responsibilities

You may voluntarily register a customer account on our store to save shipping addresses, track order history, store cart items, and accelerate repeat checkout for cleaning and beauty supplies. When creating an account, you agree to:
  • Submit accurate, complete, and up-to-date personal details including full name, valid email address, and delivery contact information;
  • Maintain confidentiality of your account login email and password; you bear full liability for all orders, messages, and activity conducted under your account credentials;
  • Immediately notify our support team at info@thedustpanandbrushstore.shop if you detect unauthorized account login, password leakage, or suspicious order activity linked to your profile;
  • Refrain from sharing your account access with third parties, creating duplicate fraudulent accounts, or registering accounts using false identity information.
We reserve full authority to suspend or terminate any user account at our sole discretion for violations of these Terms of Service, including spam submissions, repeated policy abuse, fake return claims, or abusive communication with customer support staff. Upon account termination, all unclaimed store credit, pending order discounts, and saved cart data will be forfeited with no compensation provided.

4. Product Information, Pricing & Inventory

All product listings on https://thedustpanandbrushstore.shop cover electric cleaning brushes, lint removers, beauty grooming sets, window squeegees, mops, mop buckets, floor scrub brushes, multi-surface cleaners, brooms and matching accessories. We strive to display accurate product photos, dimension specifications, functional descriptions, material details, and pricing, but we do not guarantee zero minor visual variation between digital display images and delivered physical goods due to screen color calibration, lighting, and manufacturing batch differences.

4.1 Pricing Rules

All product prices displayed on the website are denominated in the currency selected at checkout, exclusive of international shipping fees, customs duties, import taxes, handling surcharges, and regional sales tax where applicable. We reserve the right to adjust product pricing, launch temporary flash sales, discount promotions, or revert regular pricing without advance customer notification. If a clear obvious pricing error is published on any cleaning or beauty product listing, we hold the right to cancel orders placed under the incorrect misprinted price and issue a full automatic refund to the original payment method.

4.2 Inventory & Out-of-Stock Policy

All stock quantities shown on product pages are subject to real-time warehouse inventory fluctuation. We cannot guarantee immediate restock for out-of-stock electric brushes, lint removers, beauty kits, mops, buckets, floor brushes, squeegees, brooms or replacement spare parts. In cases where an order contains multiple items and one or more SKUs run out of stock post-checkout, we will email you at info@thedustpanandbrushstore.shop linked address to provide two options: split shipment of available goods with partial shipping cost adjustment, or full order cancellation with complete refund for unavailable items. We are not liable for financial losses arising from out-of-stock merchandise.

5. Order Placement, Payment & Order Cancellation

5.1 Binding Contract Formation

Submitting payment and completing checkout constitutes a formal binding purchase contract between you and The Dustpan and Brush Store for the selected cleaning and beauty products. Order confirmation emails sent to your registered email serve as official proof of your transaction, and receipt of this confirmation does not guarantee order shipment if inventory, payment, or compliance issues arise.

5.2 Payment Terms

We support all authorized payment gateways integrated within Shopify checkout, including credit cards, debit cards, digital wallet services, and other approved regional payment processors. You authorize us to charge the full displayed order amount (products + shipping + applicable taxes) to your selected payment method at the moment checkout is finalized. All payment processing adheres to PCI DSS security standards; we never store full sensitive payment card data on our website servers. Any bank overdraft fees, foreign transaction charges, or currency conversion fees levied by your financial institution are your sole responsibility and will not be reimbursed by our store.

5.3 Order Cancellation Rules

  • Orders that have not yet been dispatched from our warehouse may be fully cancelled by emailing info@thedustpanandbrushstore.shop with your valid Shopify order number, resulting in a complete refund with no deductions.
  • Once a shipping label is generated and the parcel is transferred to courier carriers, orders cannot be cancelled. You must follow the formal return process outlined in our standalone Return & Refund Policy after receiving your package.
  • Bulk wholesale orders, custom pre-order items, and clearance “Final Sale” products are non-cancellable post-checkout under all circumstances.

6. Shipping, Delivery & Risk of Loss

Full detailed shipping timelines, delivery zone coverage, carrier partners, and shipping cost breakdowns are listed within our independent Shipping Policy page on https://thedustpanandbrushstore.shop. Risk of loss, damage, or theft of all ordered electric brushes, lint removers, beauty sets, squeegees, mops, buckets, floor scrub brushes, brooms and cleaning accessories transfers fully to you once the parcel leaves our warehouse and is accepted by the shipping courier. We provide tracking numbers for all dispatched orders, and delivery delays caused by carrier logistical failures, customs inspections, international border hold-ups, natural disasters, or public service strikes are outside our liability scope. If goods arrive damaged, you must submit photographic evidence to info@thedustpanandbrushstore.shop within 48 hours of delivery to qualify for return, replacement or partial compensation per our Return & Refund Policy.

7. Return, Refund & Exchange Compliance

All return, refund, product exchange, restocking fee, and defective merchandise resolution rules are fully defined within our dedicated Return & Refund Policy page hosted on our website. By placing an order with us, you agree to strictly abide by all return eligibility timeframes, required product condition standards, non-refundable item categories, shipping cost allocation rules for voluntary versus defective returns, and refund processing timelines laid out in that separate policy document. No verbal support staff communications can override the formal written return policy terms published on our site.

8. Intellectual Property Rights

All content hosted on https://thedustpanandbrushstore.shop remains exclusive intellectual property of The Dustpan and Brush Store, including product photographs, written product descriptions, website graphic designs, brand logo, page layout text, instructional content for electric cleaning tools and beauty grooming kits, promotional copy, and all digital site assets. You are prohibited from copying, reproducing, distributing, modifying, republishing, commercially reselling, scraping, or redistributing any website content without explicit written approval sent via info@thedustpanandbrushstore.shop.
You also agree not to use automated web scrapers, bots, crawlers, or data mining tools to extract mass product, pricing, or customer data from our store without prior formal consent.

10. Third-Party Website Links & Service Providers

Our website navigation, product pages, and footer may contain hyperlinks directing to external third-party platforms including social media networks, courier carrier tracking portals, payment processor websites, and partner resource pages. These external websites operate entirely independent of The Dustpan and Brush Store, and we maintain no control over their content, privacy standards, service terms, product quality, or security protocols. We accept no liability for any loss, damage, or negative experience occurring when you navigate off https://thedustpanandbrushstore.shop to third-party domains. We strongly recommend reviewing the unique terms and privacy policies of every external website before submitting personal or payment information.
All third-party service vendors supporting our store (Shopify hosting, payment gateways, shipping couriers, email management tools) operate under their own independent legal agreements; your interactions with these providers are governed solely by their separate terms of service.

14. Severability Clause
