These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of https://science-gadgets.com, including our website, products, features, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Science Gadgets is operated by RINZAKA LLC (referred to as "Science Gadgets," "we," "us," or "our").
Our online store is powered by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our products and services.
By accessing our website, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Please read these Terms carefully before using our Services.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
1. Eligibility and Customer Accounts
To make a purchase through our website, you must be at least 18 years old or have reached the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction.
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information when placing an order or creating an account.
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activities conducted through your account.
Please notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
We may restrict or suspend access to accounts involved in fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive activities, subject to applicable law.
2. Products and Product Information
Science Gadgets offers science-related products, educational gadgets, scientific decorations, and related accessories.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, specifications, prices, and availability information are accurate and up to date.
However, minor differences in color or appearance may occur due to screen settings, lighting, or manufacturing variations.
Product measurements and specifications are provided to help customers make informed purchasing decisions.
We reserve the right to update product descriptions, discontinue products, or adjust availability without prior notice.
Any material changes affecting an accepted order will be communicated to the customer when appropriate.
Customers should review product descriptions, specifications, safety information, and age recommendations before purchasing or using a product.
3. Orders and Order Acceptance
When you place an order, you submit an offer to purchase the selected products at the prices and under the conditions displayed at checkout.
After completing checkout, you will receive an order confirmation email.
We reserve the right to review and, where legally permitted, decline or cancel orders for legitimate reasons, including:
-
Product unavailability.
-
Suspected fraudulent or unauthorized transactions.
-
Incorrect or incomplete shipping information.

Material pricing or product listing errors.

Legal or regulatory restrictions.
If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the amount paid for the canceled items, including applicable charges where required.

4. Pricing, Currency, and Payment
All prices displayed on our website are expressed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise indicated.
Product prices may change without prior notice. However, price changes will not affect orders that have already been accepted.
Applicable shipping charges and taxes are calculated or displayed during checkout before an order is submitted.
We accept the payment methods available at checkout.
Payments are processed through Shopify and authorized third-party payment service providers.
By submitting payment information, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel transactions that cannot be verified or that present reasonable indications of fraud.

Delivery may occasionally be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier disruptions, weather conditions, or transportation delays.
We remain responsible for fulfilling our obligations under applicable consumer protection laws.
If we cannot ship your order within the applicable promised shipment period, we will notify you and provide the required opportunity to agree to a revised shipment date or cancel the order for a full refund, in accordance with applicable law.
Once your order ships, tracking information will be provided by email.

To qualify for a standard return, products must generally be unused, in their original condition, and returned with their original packaging and accessories.

Nothing in this section restricts any remedies available under applicable consumer protection laws.
7. Order Cancellations
If you need to cancel or modify an order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.

After delivery, eligible products can be returned according to our Return & Refund Policy.
If an order cannot be shipped within the applicable promised shipment timeframe, cancellation and refund rights will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
8. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Products
We aim to deliver products that match their descriptions and arrive in satisfactory condition.

These third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
We do not control independent third-party websites and are not responsible for their unrelated content or practices.
However, the use of third-party providers to fulfill our obligations does not remove responsibilities that Science Gadgets has to customers under applicable law.

Our online store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify provides the platform and technical infrastructure supporting our online storefront, checkout, and certain other services.
Purchases made through our store are transactions between you and Science Gadgets, not Shopify.

It also explains applicable privacy rights and how you may exercise them.
Please review our Privacy Policy for further details.
15. Customer Reviews and Feedback
Customers may voluntarily submit product reviews, comments, suggestions, or other feedback about our Services.
By submitting content, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it does not violate applicable law or the rights of others.
You grant Science Gadgets a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and use your submitted feedback for purposes related to operating, improving, and promoting our Services, subject to applicable law.
We may moderate or remove content that is fraudulent, unlawful, abusive, or otherwise violates these Terms.
We do not require positive reviews as a condition of providing customer support, accepting returns, or issuing eligible refunds.
Where reviews are incentivized, applicable disclosures should be provided.
16. Errors and Inaccuracies
We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate product listings, prices, promotions, and shipping information.
Occasionally, errors or inaccuracies may occur.
If we discover a material error affecting an order, we may contact the customer to explain the issue and offer an appropriate resolution.
Where an order must be canceled due to an error, any required refund will be issued promptly.
We will not impose undisclosed additional charges on an accepted order without the customer's authorization.
17. Warranties and Disclaimers
We strive to provide accurate information, reliable customer service, and products that meet their advertised descriptions.
Except for warranties expressly provided by Science Gadgets or required by applicable law, we do not make additional guarantees regarding uninterrupted website availability or the suitability of every product for every individual purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its digital features are provided on an "as available" basis.
Any applicable product warranties, statutory protections, and consumer remedies remain in effect.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties or rights that cannot legally be waived.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Science Gadgets will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of our website where such liability may legally be excluded.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or restricted under applicable law, including certain liabilities relating to defective products, personal injury, fraud, or willful misconduct.
Nothing in these Terms limits your right to seek refunds, replacements, or other remedies where required by law.
19. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Science Gadgets harmless from third-party claims, damages, or reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of our Services, intentional misconduct, or material violations of these Terms.
This obligation does not apply to claims resulting from our own negligence, wrongdoing, or failure to fulfill legal obligations.
20. Events Beyond Our Control
We are not responsible for failures or delays caused solely by extraordinary circumstances beyond our reasonable control, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Such circumstances may include natural disasters, severe weather, major transportation disruptions, governmental restrictions, or widespread infrastructure failures.
If such circumstances affect an order, we will communicate relevant updates and honor applicable cancellation and refund rights.
This provision does not override consumer protections or our obligations under applicable shipment-delay regulations.
21. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or restrict access to our Services where reasonably necessary to address fraud, security threats, unlawful conduct, or serious violations of these Terms.
Termination of website access does not automatically cancel existing purchase obligations or remove any refund or consumer rights arising from completed transactions.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including applicable intellectual property protections and dispute-related provisions, will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
22. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise.
Any dispute relating to these Terms or purchases made through our website will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Nothing in this section removes rights to pursue claims in courts or forums where such rights cannot legally be waived.
Before initiating formal proceedings, customers are encouraged to contact our support team so we can attempt to resolve the matter directly.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
The invalid provision will be interpreted or limited only as necessary to comply with applicable law.
24. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Return & Refund Policy, and any applicable product-specific terms disclosed before purchase, constitute the agreement governing use of our Services and purchases from our store.
If a provision conflicts with mandatory consumer protection laws, the applicable legal requirement will prevail.
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a specific policy governing shipping or returns, the more specific policy will govern that subject, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our business operations, legal requirements, or Services.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
Material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law.
Changes will not retroactively remove rights arising under the terms applicable to a previously accepted purchase.
