Terms of service

TheNode.pro Terms of Service

OVERVIEW

Welcome to TheNode.pro. The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to TheNode.pro. TheNode.pro operates this store and related online properties, including information, content, features, tools, products, and services offered here (the "Services"). TheNode.pro is powered by Shopify, which we use to provide the Services to you.

These terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They include important information about your legal rights, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use or access our Services.


SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and that you consent to any of your minor dependents using the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, including browsing or purchasing products, you may need to provide information such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete, and that you have the right to provide it.

You are solely responsible for securing your account credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to anyone else.


SECTION 2 – PRODUCTS

We offer books, apparel, accessories, and related merchandise through our store. We strive to represent products accurately, but colors and appearance may vary based on your device and settings.

We do not warrant that any product will look exactly like images on our site or meet your expectations. Product descriptions may change without notice at our discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue products and to limit quantities, including by person, region, or jurisdiction.


SECTION 3 – ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. TheNode.pro may accept or decline your order at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until TheNode.pro confirms it. We must receive and process your payment before acceptance.

Please review your order before submitting. We may not be able to cancel an order after it is accepted. If we do not accept, change, or cancel your order, we will try to notify you using the contact information you provided.

Returns and exchanges are governed by our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export, except where permitted by us in writing.


SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions may change without notice. The price you pay is the price in effect when you place the order, as shown in your order confirmation email. Unless stated otherwise, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, or customs/import charges.

Prices on this store may differ from those in other TheNode.pro channels or third‑party platforms. Any separate promotional terms for specific offers will govern over these Terms where they conflict.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all orders, and to update that information when it changes.

Payment methods. We accept credit and debit cards, and cryptocurrency (including Lightning, Bitcoin, ETH, USDC, and SOL). For crypto payments:

  • You are responsible for sending the correct amount to the correct address within any time limit shown at checkout.
  • Transactions may be irreversible; we cannot reverse blockchain transactions.
  • You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you select and that all charges will be honored.

You agree to pay the posted prices, including shipping, handling, and applicable taxes.


SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping and delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs, or events outside our control. Title and risk of loss pass to you once we deliver products to the carrier.


SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Services, including trademarks, brands, text, images, graphics, video, audio, and their selection and arrangement, are owned by TheNode.pro, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. and other intellectual property laws.

You may use the Services only for personal, non‑commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any materials from the Services without our prior written consent. Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or rights under our intellectual property except as expressly stated.

TheNode.pro’s names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of TheNode.pro or its affiliates or licensors. You must not use them without our prior written permission. Shopify’s name, logo, and related marks are trademarks of Shopify. Other marks on the Services belong to their respective owners.


SECTION 7 – OPTIONAL TOOLS

We may offer access to third‑party tools as part of the Services. We do not control or endorse these tools.

We provide access to them "as is" and "as available," without warranties. We have no liability arising from your use of third‑party tools. Your use is at your own risk, and you should review the terms of the relevant third‑party provider.

New features and tools we add to the Services are also subject to these Terms of Service.


SECTION 8 – THIRD‑PARTY LINKS

The Services may include links or materials from third‑party sites. We do not control and are not responsible for their content or accuracy. Accessing them is at your own risk. We are not liable for any harm from your use of third‑party sites or products and services offered there. Complaints about third‑party products or services should be directed to that third party.


SECTION 9 – RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

TheNode.pro is powered by Shopify. Sales and purchases in our store are made directly with TheNode.pro. By using the Services, you acknowledge that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of those sales, including any injury, damage, or loss from purchased products or services. You expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from your purchases and transactions with TheNode.pro.


SECTION 10 – PRIVACY POLICY

Our collection and use of personal information through the Services are described in our Privacy Policy. Certain information may also be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these policies.

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and other service providers, including in countries other than your own. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your information.


SECTION 11 – FEEDBACK

If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty‑free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display that Feedback in any medium and for any purpose.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have the necessary rights to the Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with it; and (iii) it complies with these Terms. We are not obligated to keep it confidential, pay for it, or respond to it.

We may monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates intellectual property rights or these Terms.

Your Feedback must not violate any third‑party right, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights, and must not contain libelous or unlawful material, malware, or misrepresentation about its origin. You are solely responsible for your Feedback and its accuracy. We assume no liability for Feedback posted by you or third parties.


SECTION 12 – ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

We may correct typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in product descriptions, pricing, promotions, shipping charges, transit times, or availability at any time, without prior notice and including after you submit an order. We reserve the right to correct such errors, update information, or cancel orders when information is inaccurate.

SECTION 14 – AGENTS

14.1 This section applies if you use or deploy any Agent to access, use, or interact with the Services. "Agent" means any software or service that takes autonomous or semi‑autonomous actions on your behalf without direct supervision.

14.2 No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services unless it identifies itself and operates in accordance with Section 14.4. No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services if we have requested that it refrain from doing so.

14.3 We may limit, including by technical means, whether and how any Agent accesses, uses, or interacts with the Services.

14.4 Agents must: (i) identify in all HTTP/HTTPS requests that the request is from an Agent and disclose the Agent’s name in the user agent string (e.g., "Agent/[agent name]"); (ii) not conceal or obfuscate that access, use, or interactions are from an Agent, including by mimicking human behavior or circumventing CAPTCHAs; (iii) respond truthfully when asked whether interactions are from a human or a computer; and (iv) not circumvent any measures intended to control whether and how Agents access, use, or interact with the Services.


SECTION 15 – TERMINATION

We may terminate this agreement or your access to the Services at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice. You remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.

The following sections survive termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver, Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.


SECTION 16 – DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Information on or through the Services is for general informational purposes only. We do not warrant its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness. Any reliance on it is at your own risk.

Except as expressly stated by TheNode.pro, the Services and all products are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non‑infringement. We do not guarantee that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error‑free. Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimer of implied warranties, so the above may not apply to you.


SECTION 17 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TheNode.pro, its partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, and service providers, and Shopify and its affiliates, shall not be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or similar damages, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising from your use of the Services or any products obtained through them, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.


SECTION 18 – INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TheNode.pro, Shopify, and their affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities, or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from: (1) your breach of these Terms; (2) your violation of any law or third‑party rights; or (3) your access to and use of the Services.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim. We may control the defense and settlement at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim that imposes non‑monetary obligations on you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of any indemnified claim.


SECTION 19 – SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the unenforceable portion shall be severed. Such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.


SECTION 20 – WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies or rules we post on this site constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written.

Ambiguities in these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
