SMS opt-out: Reply STOP to end, HELP for help. Message/data rates may apply; frequency varies. Carrier is not liable for delayed/undelivered messages.
5) Product Information, Pricing & Availability
We strive for accuracy but do not warrant that product descriptions, images, pricing, or availability are error-free. We may correct errors and change information or prices at any time without notice. Items may vary slightly in color/texture due to small-batch production.

Discount codes must be entered at checkout and cannot be combined unless explicitly stated. We may limit promotions to certain items, dates, or quantities and may refuse orders that misuse promotions.
7) Orders, Billing & Address Accuracy
We may limit or cancel quantities per person/household/order at our discretion. Provide complete, accurate billing, shipping, and contact information and promptly update it as needed. Orders returned due to incorrect/incomplete addresses will require additional shipping fees to reship.
8) Shipping; Risk of Loss; Lost/ Stolen Packages
Shipping, handling, and taxes are shown at checkout. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon carrier acceptance. Once a package is marked delivered by the carrier, ZBC is not responsible for loss or theft. See our Shipping & Returns Policy for details (including flat-rate $6.99 U.S. shipping unless otherwise stated).

14) Privacy & Cookies
Your use of the Website is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and safeguard personal information. The site may use cookies and similar technologies; you can adjust browser settings, but some features may not function.
15) Warranty Disclaimer
THE WEBSITE, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ZBC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Handmade variation is normal.

18) Dispute Resolution & Arbitration (U.S.)
Informal Resolution. Contact us first at care@zbcessentials.com; we’ll try to resolve disputes informally.
Binding Arbitration. If unresolved, any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Website/Products will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and ZBC waive jury trial and class actions. The arbitrator may award individual relief permitted by law. Venue shall be your county of residence or Essex County, New Jersey unless both parties agree otherwise.
Small Claims. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court.
This section survives termination.
19) Termination
We may suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms or as required by law. Your obligations that by nature should survive (e.g., IP, indemnity, limitations of liability, dispute resolution) will survive termination.
20) Force Majeure
We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, acts of government, labor disputes, interruptions of internet/services, or carrier delays).
21) Severability; Waiver
If any provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver.
22) Entire Agreement
These Terms, plus our Privacy Policy and Shipping & Returns Policy, are the entire agreement between you and ZBC regarding the Website and Services, superseding prior agreements.
23) All Sales Final / Returns
Due to the personal, handmade nature of our products, all sales are final. Please see our Shipping & Returns Policy for damage claims and timelines.
