To access or use our Services, you must be of the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

3. Account Registration
You may be required to register for an account to access certain features of our Services. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

4. Use of Services
The Owner grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for your personal and non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. Users are thereby limited from using this content beyond what is necessary or implicit in the proper engagement with the Service.

Specifically, users are not permitted to copy, download, distribute (beyond the outlined limits), alter, translate, transform, publish, transmit, sell, sublicense, edit, or transfer/assign to third parties, or to create derivative works from the content found on the website, nor to allow any third party to do so through the user or their device, even unintentionally.

In instances where it is expressly stated on the website, users may be allowed to download, copy, and/or share certain content exclusively for their personal and non-commercial use, provided that the copyright and any other required attributions set by Sardine Panther - LDA are properly applied.

Any statutory limitations or exceptions to copyright remain unaffected and apply where appropriate.

5. Content and Intellectual Property
All materials provided on the Website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, and software, are the intellectual property of Sardine Panther - LDA or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

6. Access to External Resources
On the Website, users may encounter access to third-party external resources. Users must recognize and agree that the Owner has no authority over these external resources and is not accountable for their content or their availability.

The terms and conditions set by these third parties, or, in their absence, the relevant statutory law, will govern the conditions applicable to any resources provided by third parties, including any rights that may be granted in the content.

7. User Conduct
You agree not to use the Services in a manner that is illegal, infringing, or harmful to others. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, harassment, fraud, and distributing malware or viruses.

8. Product Presentation
The costs, details, and availability of items are specified within the respective areas of Sardine Panther - LDA and may be adjusted at any time without a formal announcement.

Our commitment is to present our products on Website with the utmost precision achievable. Nevertheless, the depictions on Website — which may encompass visual aids, photographs, hues, and acoustic effects — should be used as a general guide and do not affirm the exact traits of the product you will receive.

The specifics of the item you opt for will be clarified throughout the checkout process.

9. Order Confirmation
Upon placing an order, users should be aware of the following:

Submitting an order signifies the completion of the contract and thus binds the user to the obligation of payment, including the price, taxes, and any additional charges and expenses as outlined on the order page.

If the ordered product requires the user’s active participation, like providing personal details, specific requirements, or preferences, then placing the order also entails a commitment from the user to provide the necessary cooperation.

After the order is placed, users will receive a confirmation receipt indicating that their order has been processed.

All communications regarding the purchase process will be sent to the email address that the user has specified for this purpose.

10. Pricing Details
Throughout the purchasing process and prior to order placement, users are clearly informed about all charges they will incur, including fees, taxes, and any additional expenses such as delivery costs.

On Website, prices are shown either with or without applicable fees, taxes, and charges, based on the section being viewed by the user.

11. Payments and Refunds
Details regarding the costs of Services, payment methods, and refund policies will be provided on the Website and during the enrollment process.

Details on the accepted methods of payment are provided during the purchasing process on Website.

Certain payment options may be subject to additional terms or fees. Relevant information can be located in the specific section of Website.

Payments are processed through independent third-party services, meaning that the Owner does not handle any payment data, such as credit card information. Instead, the Owner receives a notification upon the successful completion of payment.

Should a payment attempt fail or be rejected by the payment service provider, the Owner is not obliged to complete the purchase transaction. Any costs or fees incurred due to a failed or refused payment are the responsibility of the User.

The Owner guarantees a full refund of the payment only if, after a successful payment, the User does not gain access to the service due to a technical failure on the part of the Owner. The Owner does not guarantee a refund if the service becomes unavailable to the User for reasons beyond the Owner's control.

12. Privacy Policy
Your use of our Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

13. Disclaimers
The Services are provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. The Owner does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

14. Limitation of Liability
The Owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services.

15. Service Disruption
The Owner prioritizes maintaining a high level of service and, to this end, reserves the right to temporarily halt operations for maintenance, updates, or other necessary modifications, ensuring users are given proper notice.

Under legal allowances, the Owner may also choose to discontinue or suspend the Service. In the event of Service termination, the Owner commits to assisting Users in the retrieval of their Personal Data or information in line with legal requirements.

Furthermore, the Service may be unavailable due to circumstances beyond the Owner’s reasonable control, such as "force majeure" events including strikes, infrastructure failures, or power outages.

16. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of any significant changes to these Terms by posting the new Terms on our Website.

18. Contractual Rights Assignment
Website's Owner retains the right to transfer, assign, novate, or subcontract any or all rights or obligations under these Terms, with due consideration for the Users' legitimate interests. Any alterations to these Terms shall be governed by the established provisions regarding changes.

Users are not authorized to assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms without the written consent of the Owner.

19. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, this will not affect the validity of the rest of the Terms, which will continue to be in effect.

For US Users

An invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, while preserving its original intent. These Terms represent the entire agreement between the Users and Website's Owner regarding the subject matter, superseding any prior agreements or communications.

EU Users

If any provision of these Terms is void, invalid, or unenforceable, both parties will attempt to agree amicably on valid, enforceable provisions to replace the invalid or unenforceable ones.
If this is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable provisions will be substituted by the applicable statutory provisions, as allowed or required by the applicable law.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision does not void the entire Agreement, unless the affected provisions are fundamental to the agreement or so critical that the parties would not have entered into the contract had they known the provision would not be valid, or if the remaining provisions would result in an undue burden on either party.

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Owner is registered. Any disputes arising from these Terms will be resolved through final and binding arbitration.

21. Contact Information
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us.
