Terms of service

Effective September 1, 2026.

Overview

Welcome to Ardent Rituel! The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Ardent Rituel. Ardent Rituel operates this website and store, including all information, tools, features, products and services available from it, to offer you, the customer, a personalized shopping experience (the "Services"). Ardent Rituel uses the Shopify platform, which allows us to provide the Services to you.

The terms below, together with the policies referenced in them (the "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, including exclusions of warranty and limitations of liability.

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

ARTICLE 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you have reached the age of legal majority in your state or province of residence, and you give us your consent to allow any minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage. To use the Services, including to access or browse our online store or to purchase any product or service we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address and your billing, payment, and shipping details. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our store is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have all necessary rights to provide it. You are solely responsible for the security of your account credentials and for any activity connected to your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to anyone else.

ARTICLE 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to display our products accurately. Please note, however, that the colors or appearance of products may differ from what displays on your screen depending on the device you use to access the store and its settings. We do not guarantee that the quality or appearance of any product you purchase will match your expectations or exactly what is shown in our store. All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit the quantities of any product we offer, to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

This product is intended for adults only. It is not for anyone under 18. Take one cube per person per day, no more. Each cube contains caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medication, or have a heart or blood pressure condition, talk to your doctor before use.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

ARTICLE 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Ardent Rituel reserves the right to accept or decline your order, for any reason, at our discretion. Your order is not considered accepted until we confirm it. We must receive and process your payment before your order is confirmed. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as Ardent Rituel may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests once an order is confirmed. If we decline, change, or cancel your order, we will attempt to contact you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at checkout. Your purchases are subject to our Refund Policy. You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use, not for commercial resale or export.

ARTICLE 4 - PRICING AND BILLING

Prices are shown in US dollars. Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time your order is placed and will be shown in your order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed prices do not include taxes, shipping charges, or handling fees. Prices shown in our store may differ from prices at physical retailers or on other online platforms operated by third parties. We may run promotions from time to time that affect pricing and that are governed by their own terms, separate from these Terms. If a promotion's terms conflict with these Terms, the promotion's terms will govern. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made through our store, and to promptly update this information, including your email address and payment details, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. You represent and warrant that: (i) your payment information is accurate, correct, and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the payment method for the purchase; (iii) charges incurred will be honored by your card issuer or payment provider; and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes.

ARTICLE 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Every order ships free, with no minimum purchase required. Ships from the USA within 1 to 3 business days of purchase. We are not responsible for shipping or delivery delays. All shipping times we provide are estimates and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers or any event outside our reasonable control. Once your order is handed to the carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.

ARTICLE 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services — including, without limitation, all trademarks, trade names, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, video, and audio content, as well as their design, selection, and arrangement — are the exclusive property of Ardent Rituel, its affiliates, or its licensors, and are protected under applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms permit you to use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material on the Services without our prior written consent. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, nothing should be construed as granting you a license or other right to any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of Ardent Rituel, Shopify, or any third party. The Ardent Rituel names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Ardent Rituel or its licensors. You may not use them without our prior written permission. Shopify's name, logo, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.

ARTICLE 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

You may be offered access to third-party tools as part of the Services, which we do not monitor and over which we have no control. You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available," without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind, and without any endorsement. We have no liability arising from your use of optional third-party tools. Any use by you of optional tools offered through the Services is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you should make sure you are familiar with and approve of the terms under which the relevant third-party providers offer such tools. We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Services. Such new features will also be subject to these Terms.

ARTICLE 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for reviewing or evaluating the content or accuracy of any such third-party materials, and we do not warrant them. If you choose to access third-party sites linked from the Services, you do so at your own risk. We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites, or to your purchase or use of any third-party products, services, resources, or content. Please review third-party policies and practices carefully before engaging in any transaction. Complaints, claims, or questions about third-party products or services should be directed to that third party.

ARTICLE 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

[NOTE TO MERCHANT: This section accurately describes the relationship between Shopify and your store and must not be removed or modified.] Ardent Rituel is powered by Shopify, which allows us to provide the Services to you. However, any sale or purchase made through our store is made directly with Ardent Rituel. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of the sales between you and Ardent Rituel, including any damage, harm, or loss resulting from the products or services purchased. You hereby release Shopify and its affiliates from any claim, damages, and liability arising from or related to your purchase and transaction with Ardent Rituel.

ARTICLE 10 - PRIVACY

Any personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, and certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies. Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve them. Information you submit through the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, and with third parties who may be located in countries other than your own, in order to provide you the Services. See our Privacy Policy for more detail on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.

ARTICLE 11 - FEEDBACK

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit 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 for any purpose, including commercial purposes. You further represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all rights to the Feedback you provide; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentive received in connection with your Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We have no obligation to (1) keep your Feedback confidential, (2) compensate you for your Feedback, or (3) respond to your Feedback. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, or remove any Feedback we determine, in our sole discretion, to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party's intellectual property rights or these Terms. You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, or any computer virus or malware that could affect the operation of the Services. You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you make and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

ARTICLE 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

The Services may occasionally contain information that includes typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, or product availability. We reserve the right to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information is inaccurate, at any time and without prior notice, including after an order has been submitted.

ARTICLE 13 - PROHIBITED USES

You may access and use the Services only for lawful purposes. You may not access or use the Services, directly or indirectly: (a) for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose; (b) in violation of any applicable regulation, rule, or law; (c) to infringe the intellectual property rights of Ardent Rituel, Shopify, or any third party; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate against our employees or any other person; (e) to submit false or misleading information; (f) to upload, receive, use, or reuse any content that does not comply with these Terms; (g) to transmit unsolicited advertising or promotional material, including "spam," "chain letters," or "junk mail"; (h) to impersonate or attempt to impersonate any person or entity; or (i) to engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Services, or which, as determined by us, may harm Ardent Rituel, Shopify, users of the Services, or expose them to liability. Additionally, you agree not to: (a) upload or transmit viruses or other malicious code that could affect the operation of the Services; (b) reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any part of the Services; (c) collect or track the personal information of others; (d) engage in spamming, phishing, pharming, or pretexting through the Services; (e) use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means, including AI tools (including agentic AI), to access the Services; or (f) interfere with, circumvent, or disable any security or authorization feature of the Services. We reserve the right to suspend, disable, or terminate your account at any time and without notice if we determine that you have violated any of the above.

ARTICLE 14 - AGENTS

14.1 This section (the "Agent Terms") applies if you use, authorize, enable, or cause the deployment of an Agent to access, use, or interact with the Services. An "Agent" means any software or service acting autonomously or semi-autonomously on behalf of a person or entity, or on their instructions, which may run on a device owned or used by that person without direct supervision. 14.2 No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services unless it continuously identifies itself as such and operates in strict compliance with the conditions in Section 14.4 below. Additionally, no Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services if we have requested that Agent to refrain from doing so. 14.3 We may limit, including through technical measures, whether and how an Agent may access, use, and interact with the Services. 14.4 Agents must: (i) in every HTTP/HTTPS request, disclose that the request originates from an Agent, including the following in the user-agent string: "Agent/[agent name]"; (ii) not conceal or disguise the fact that access, use, or interactions originate from an Agent, including by (a) mimicking human behavior or interaction patterns, or (b) bypassing or completing CAPTCHAs or other measures designed to distinguish computer use from human use; (iii) respond honestly to any question or prompt intended to determine whether interactions originate from a human or a computer; and (iv) not bypass or avoid any measure designed to block, limit, modify, or control Agent access, use, or interaction with the Services.

ARTICLE 15 - TERMINATION

We reserve the right to terminate this agreement or your access to the Services (or any part of them) at our sole discretion, at any time, and without notice. You remain responsible for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination. The following sections will survive any termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver, Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Privacy, and any other provision that by its nature should survive termination.

ARTICLE 16 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Information provided on or through the Services is for general informational purposes only. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility for any consequences arising from your, or any other visitor's, use of or reliance on this information. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED BY ARDENT RITUEL, THE SERVICES AND ALL PRODUCTS OFFERED THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES, SO THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

ARTICLE 17 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ARDENT RITUEL, OUR PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS, NOR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, CLAIM, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT (OR PRODUCT) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.

ARTICLE 18 - INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ardent Rituel, Shopify, and our respective affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from any loss, damage, liability, or claim, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party arising out of or relating to (1) your breach of these Terms or any document they incorporate by reference, (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or (3) your access to or use of the Services. We will notify you of any claim covered by this indemnity; a delay in notice will not relieve you of your obligations except to the extent it causes you material prejudice. We may control the defense and settlement of any such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but we will not settle any claim involving non-monetary obligations on your part without your consent, which you may not unreasonably withhold. You agree to cooperate with the defense of any claim covered by this indemnity, including by providing relevant documents.

ARTICLE 19 - SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion will be deemed severed from these Terms. Such a determination will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

ARTICLE 20 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. These Terms, together with any policies or operating rules we post on this site or in connection with the Services, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, without limitation, any prior versions of these Terms). Any ambiguity in the interpretation of these Terms will not be construed against the drafting party.

ARTICLE 21 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement, or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section will be void. We may assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without your consent or prior notice.

ARTICLE 22 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms, and any dispute arising from or relating to them or to the Services, are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside, where such provisions cannot be departed from by agreement.

ARTICLE 23 - HEADINGS

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation of these Terms.

ARTICLE 24 - CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

You can review the most current version of these Terms at any time on this page. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and changes on our website. It is your responsibility to check our website periodically for changes. We will notify you of any material changes to these Terms as required by applicable law, and such changes will take effect on the date stated in the notice. Your continued use of or access to the Services after any changes to these Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
