If we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, or phone number provided at the time the order was placed.

Some content, products, or services available through our site may include materials from third parties.
Third-party links may direct you to websites that are not affiliated with Boston Harbor Tea Works. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of third-party sites, and we make no warranties and assume no liability for any third-party materials, websites, products, or services.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, or content from any third-party website. Please carefully review the third party’s own policies and terms before engaging in any transaction. Any complaints, claims, or concerns regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the relevant third party.
Section 9 - User Comments, Feedback, & Other Submissions
If you send us creative content—whether in response to a request (like contest entries) or unsolicited (such as suggestions, proposals, plans, or ideas)—you agree that we may use, edit, publish, distribute, translate, and otherwise make use of those submissions without restriction and in any medium. We are not obligated to:
- Keep your comments confidential,
- Offer compensation, or
- Respond to your submission.
We may, but are not required to, monitor, edit, or remove content that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable—or that violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms.
You agree that your comments will not infringe on the rights of others, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or any other personal or proprietary right. You also agree that your comments will not contain unlawful, abusive, or obscene material—or any malware or code that could harm the Service or any related site.
You may not use a false email address, impersonate another person, or mislead us or others about the origin of any comments.
You are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of your submissions. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third party.

From time to time, there may be information on our site or within the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions—particularly related to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, or availability.
We reserve the right to correct any such errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to update or change information—or cancel orders—at any time, without prior notice (including after an order has been submitted), if any information in the Service or on any related website is found to be inaccurate.
We are under no obligation to update, amend, or clarify any information in the Service or on any related website, including pricing information, unless required by law. The presence of an update or refresh date should not be interpreted to mean that all content has been modified.

Section 13 - Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of our Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
We do not warrant that any results obtained through the Service will be accurate or reliable.
You agree that we may, from time to time, remove the Service for indefinite periods or cancel it at any time, without notice.
You expressly agree that your use of the Service—or inability to use it—is at your sole risk. The Service, along with all products and services delivered through it, is provided (unless expressly stated otherwise) “as is” and “as available”, without any representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, either express or implied—including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.
In no event shall Boston Harbor Tea Works, or any of our owners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, suppliers, service providers, or licensors, be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind—including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or similar damages—arising from your use of the Service or any products purchased through the Service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage incurred from the use of the Service or any content (or product) made available through it, even if advised of the possibility.
Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such cases, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Section 14 - Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Boston Harbor Tea Works, along with our parent company, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees, from any claim or demand (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) made by any third party due to or arising from:
- Your breach of these Terms of Service or any related documents,
- Your violation of any law, or
- Your infringement on the rights of a third party.
Section 15 - Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will still be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. The unenforceable portion shall be considered severed from these Terms, and such a finding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Section 16 - Termination
Any obligations or liabilities incurred by either party prior to the termination date will survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.
These Terms of Service remain in effect unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate them at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or by simply discontinuing use of the site.
If, in our sole judgment, you fail to comply with any part of these Terms—or if we suspect a violation—we may terminate this agreement at any time without notice. In such cases, you will remain responsible for any amounts owed up to and including the date of termination, and we may deny you access to our Services (or any part of them).
Section 17 - Entire Agreement
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms of Service, along with any policies or rules posted on this site in connection with the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Boston Harbor Tea Works. They govern your use of the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, or agreements—whether oral or written—between you and us (including any earlier versions of these Terms).
Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
Section 18 - Governing Law
These Terms of Service, along with any separate agreements through which we provide you services, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Section 19 - Changes to Terms of Service
You may review the most current version of these Terms of Service at any time on this page.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms by posting changes to our website.
