TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: August 24, 2026
Welcome to Emporium of Abingdon. By visiting our website, using our services, or making a purchase through our website, you agree to the following Terms of Service. Please read them before using the site.
1. ABOUT US
This website is operated by Emporium of Abingdon, located in Abingdon, Virginia.
Emporium of Abingdon is a curated marketplace featuring merchandise from multiple independent small businesses, makers, artists, merchants, and boutique vendors. Because many products are created, supplied, or stocked by independent vendors, inventory, availability, product appearance, and quantities may vary.
References to “we,” “us,” and “our” throughout these Terms refer to Emporium of Abingdon.
2. ONLINE STORE USE
You may not use our website, products, or services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose or attempt to interfere with the security or operation of our website.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service or orders when reasonably necessary, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, inventory discrepancies, or misuse of our website.
3. PRODUCTS, HANDMADE ITEMS & VENDOR MERCHANDISE
We make reasonable efforts to accurately display and describe the merchandise offered through our website.
Because we carry products from independent makers and merchants, some merchandise may be handmade, vintage, repurposed, one-of-a-kind, or produced in small quantities. Handmade and artisan items may have slight variations in color, size, texture, placement, or appearance. These variations are part of the nature of handmade merchandise and are not necessarily defects.
Colors displayed on your device may also vary from the actual product.
Inventory may be limited, and an item appearing on our website is not guaranteed to remain available.
4. PRICES & PRODUCT INFORMATION
Prices, descriptions, promotions, and availability may change without notice.
We reserve the right to correct typographical errors, inaccurate product information, inventory discrepancies, or pricing errors. If an error affects an order you have already placed, we may contact you before fulfilling the order or cancel and refund the affected item when appropriate.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights provided to consumers under applicable law. Virginia law prohibits deceptive or misleading representations regarding merchandise, pricing, characteristics, availability, and other aspects of consumer transactions.
5. ORDERS
We reserve the right to limit quantities or cancel an order when reasonably necessary, including suspected fraudulent purchases, resale activity, inventory errors, or other circumstances affecting our ability to fulfill the order.
If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.
6. RETURNS & REFUNDS
Purchases are subject to our posted Return and Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
Because Emporium of Abingdon carries merchandise from numerous independent vendors and makers, all sales are final and we do not offer refunds except where required by applicable law.
If there is a problem with an item you purchased, please contact us. When appropriate, we can assist you with information for the vendor or maker associated with the item and help facilitate communication regarding your concern.
7. SHIPPING, PICKUP & DELIVERY
Orders requiring shipping, local delivery, or store pickup are subject to our posted Shipping Policy and any applicable charges or restrictions displayed at checkout.
Estimated shipping or delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed when circumstances outside our reasonable control cause delays.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping and contact information when placing an order.
8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Our website may use or link to services provided by third parties, including payment processors, social-media platforms, shipping providers, and other technology providers.
Use of those services may also be governed by the third party's own terms and privacy policies.
Our online store is hosted using Shopify's ecommerce platform.
9. PERSONAL INFORMATION
The collection and use of personal information through our website is governed by our posted Privacy Policy.
Payment information submitted through checkout is processed through the payment services available on our ecommerce platform. We do not ask customers to send sensitive payment information to us through ordinary email or social-media messages.
