Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for understanding and following all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws before ordering.

By placing an order, you confirm that the products you purchase are legal to receive, possess, and use in your location.

Spore Boutique is not responsible for a customer’s failure to understand or follow the laws, rules, or restrictions in their region.

Legal Restrictions

Spore Boutique does not ship spore products to Idaho or Georgia.

Orders placed from restricted locations may be canceled and refunded when identified before shipment.

Customers are responsible for providing a valid and legally permitted shipping address. Any attempt to place an order using a restricted, false, incomplete, or misleading address may result in order cancellation, refusal of service, or account restriction.

International Orders

International customers are responsible for understanding and following the laws, import rules, customs requirements, and restrictions in their country before placing an order.

International orders may be delayed, held, returned, rejected, or seized by customs. Spore Boutique is not responsible for customs delays, import issues, customs seizures, duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or packages rejected by customs.

Orders and Payment

All orders must be paid in full before they are processed or shipped.

Spore Boutique reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or refund any order for any reason, including but not limited to payment issues, suspected fraud, restricted shipping locations, inventory errors, product availability, website errors, or compliance concerns.

Order confirmation emails do not guarantee acceptance of an order. An order is considered accepted once it has been reviewed, processed, and shipped.

Product Availability

Product availability may change without notice.

Spore Boutique makes every effort to keep product listings accurate, but inventory errors, pricing errors, description errors, or availability changes may occur. We reserve the right to correct errors, update product information, cancel orders, or issue refunds when necessary.

Shipping

Customers are responsible for entering a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.

Spore Boutique is not responsible for delays, returned packages, lost packages, or misdelivered packages caused by incorrect, incomplete, or outdated shipping information provided by the customer.

Once an order has shipped, delivery times may vary based on the shipping carrier, weather, holidays, service interruptions, customs processing, or other factors outside our control.

If an order is returned due to an incorrect or incomplete address, refusal of delivery, or failure to claim the package, additional shipping fees may apply if reshipment is available.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the sterile nature of our products, we do not accept returns once an order has shipped.

Refund or cancellation requests may be honored only if the order has not shipped yet. Because orders are processed regularly, cancellation requests should be submitted as soon as possible.

Once an order has shipped, it is no longer eligible for cancellation or refund.

For more information, please review our Return & Refund Policy.

Damaged, Incorrect, or Problem Orders

If your order arrives damaged or if you believe you received the wrong item, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.

Please include your order number, the name used at checkout, a description of the issue, and clear photos of the packaging and product. This helps us review the situation and provide support as efficiently as possible.

Product concerns are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
