Our Privacy Policy explain how we collect, use, and protect your data. Your rights may vary by location.

9. Disclaimers

The Site and products are provided “as is” with no warranties (e.g., merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose). We don't guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free content, or that products will meet all expectations. Product images are illustrative; slight variations may occur due to craftsmanship or display settings.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold WearVedic, its affiliates, and employees harmless from any claims, damages, or losses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, violation of these Terms, or infringement of third-party rights. This obligation survives the termination of these Terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at our discretion, with or without notice, for violating these Terms or for other lawful reasons.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first use by emailing [Your Email]. Arbitration is individual (no class actions), with a one-year filing deadline from the dispute's start. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in Delaware state or federal courts.

For international users (e.g., India), local consumer laws may supplement your rights, but Delaware law governs the Terms unless overridden by mandatory local law.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time, effective upon posting on the Site. For material changes, we'll notify users via email or Site notice. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
