TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective August 15, 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Little Dog Art Studios. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Little Dog Art Studios.

Little Dog Art Studios operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, artwork, and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Little Dog Art Studios is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

These terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, purchasing from, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you have given consent for any minor dependents under your supervision to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, including browsing our online store or purchasing any products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing information, payment information, and shipping information.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide this information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS, ARTWORK, AND SERVICES

We make every reasonable effort to accurately represent our products, artwork, and services.

However, colors, contrast, texture, scale, and other visual characteristics may appear differently depending on the device, display, browser, lighting conditions, or settings used to view our store.

Many Little Dog Art Studios products are original artworks, handmade goods, artist-produced objects, limited-edition products, or products created using artistic and production processes. Minor variations in appearance, texture, finish, placement, or other characteristics may occur and do not necessarily constitute defects.

Original artwork is unique. Unless expressly stated otherwise, photographs and digital representations of original artwork are provided to communicate the appearance of the physical work as accurately as reasonably possible but cannot guarantee an exact visual match under every viewing condition.

All descriptions of products and services are subject to change at any time without notice at our discretion.

We reserve the right to discontinue any product or service at any time and may limit quantities offered to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.

Custom commissions, personalized artwork, and other specially created work may also be governed by a separate written proposal, commission agreement, invoice, or statement of work. If a separate written agreement applicable to a specific commission conflicts with these Terms, the specific written agreement will control with respect to that commission.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase.

Little Dog Art Studios reserves the right to accept or decline an order for any lawful reason at our discretion.

Your order is not accepted until Little Dog Art Studios confirms acceptance and applicable payment has been authorized or processed.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Little Dog Art Studios may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has entered fulfillment, production, customization, or creation.

If we decline, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing information, shipping information, or telephone number provided with the order.

Purchases are subject to our Return and Refund Policy.

Original artwork, custom commissions, personalized artwork, and certain made-to-order products may be final sale as described in our Return and Refund Policy or an applicable commission agreement.

Products purchased from our consumer store are intended for personal, household, gift, collection, or other lawful use. Products may not be commercially reproduced, copied, distributed, or resold in a manner that infringes our intellectual property rights. Commercial resale arrangements require our prior authorization unless otherwise permitted by law.

SECTION 4 - PRICES, PAYMENT, AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice.

The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect when the order is placed and will be reflected in the applicable checkout or order confirmation.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, posted prices do not include applicable sales taxes, shipping charges, handling charges, customs charges, import duties, or similar governmental charges.

Applicable taxes and shipping charges may be calculated and displayed during checkout.

Prices displayed in our online store may differ from prices offered through physical retail locations, exhibitions, direct commissions, events, galleries, marketplaces, or other third-party channels.

We may periodically offer promotions governed by additional terms and conditions. If the specific terms of a promotion conflict with these Terms, the promotion-specific terms will control for that promotion.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for purchases made through our store.

You agree to promptly update your information as necessary so that we can complete transactions and communicate with you regarding your order.

You represent and warrant that:

  1. payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete;

  2. you are authorized to use the payment method provided;

  3. charges incurred by you will be honored by the applicable payment provider; and

  4. you will pay all valid charges associated with your purchase, including applicable shipping charges and taxes.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Products fulfilled directly by Little Dog Art Studios generally require approximately 1–3 business days of processing and preparation before shipment, unless a product listing, commission agreement, order communication, or other notice provides a different timeframe.

Original artwork, custom work, oversized items, specially packaged items, and made-to-order products may require additional processing time.

Products fulfilled by a third-party fulfillment provider, including print-on-demand products, may have separate production and shipping timelines.

Products within the same order may be fulfilled from different locations and may arrive in separate shipments.

Shipping rates, free-shipping thresholds, available delivery methods, and other shipping terms are described in our Shipping Policy and during checkout.

All carrier delivery dates and transit times are estimates unless expressly guaranteed by the applicable carrier.

We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, customs processing, incorrect customer-provided addresses, governmental actions, natural disasters, labor disruptions, or other events outside our reasonable control.

Risk of loss and transfer of title will be determined in accordance with applicable law.

If an order is lost, damaged, or materially delayed in transit, please contact Little Dog Art Studios promptly so that we can review the circumstances and, when appropriate, assist with a carrier claim, replacement, refund, or other available remedy.

SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ARTWORK RIGHTS

The Services and the content made available through them, including artwork images, photographs, illustrations, paintings, drawings, designs, characters, trademarks, logos, text, graphics, video, audio, layouts, product designs, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Little Dog Art Studios and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Purchasing a physical original artwork, print, commission, collectible, or other product transfers ownership of the purchased physical object only.

Purchase of an artwork does not transfer copyright, reproduction rights, licensing rights, merchandising rights, publishing rights, digital rights, or other intellectual property rights unless Little Dog Art Studios expressly agrees to such a transfer in a separate written agreement.

This also applies to commissioned artwork unless the applicable commission agreement expressly provides otherwise.

You may display a lawfully purchased physical artwork for ordinary personal or lawful display purposes.

You may not reproduce, distribute, commercially publish, manufacture merchandise from, create unauthorized commercial derivative works from, license, sell reproductions of, or otherwise commercially exploit Little Dog Art Studios artwork without prior written authorization.

These Terms permit use of our website and Services for lawful personal and non-commercial purposes.

You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit protected material from the Services except as permitted by law or with our prior written consent.

Nothing in these Terms grants any license or other intellectual property rights except as expressly stated.

Little Dog Art Studios names, logos, product names, character names, collection names, designs, and slogans may constitute trademarks or other protected intellectual property of Little Dog Art Studios or its licensors.

Shopify’s name, logo, product names, and related intellectual property belong to Shopify or its licensors.

All other names, logos, product names, and trademarks appearing through the Services remain the property of their respective owners.

SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

You may be provided with access to tools or functionality offered by third parties as part of the Services that we neither monitor nor control.

You acknowledge and agree that access to such tools may be provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without endorsement by Little Dog Art Studios except where expressly stated.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising solely from your use of optional third-party tools.

Any use of optional tools offered through the Services is at your own risk and discretion. You should review and understand the terms under which those tools are provided by their respective providers.

We may offer additional features, tools, or resources through the Services in the future. Such features will also be considered part of the Services and subject to these Terms unless otherwise stated.

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

The Services may contain materials, embedded functionality, or hyperlinks to websites and services provided or operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the accuracy, security, content, availability, or practices of third-party websites or services.

If you leave the Services to access a third-party site or service, you do so subject to that third party’s applicable terms and policies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Little Dog Art Studios is not responsible for losses arising solely from your use of third-party websites, products, services, resources, or content.

Please review applicable third-party policies before entering into a transaction with a third party.

Questions or concerns relating exclusively to a third-party product or service may need to be addressed to that provider.

SECTION 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

Little Dog Art Studios is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

However, any sales and purchases you make through our store are made directly with Little Dog Art Studios.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of sales between you and Little Dog Art Studios, including injury, damage, or loss resulting from products or services purchased from Little Dog Art Studios.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Shopify and its affiliates from claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or relating directly to purchases and transactions between you and Little Dog Art Studios.

SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY

Personal information collected through the Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available through this store.

Certain personal information may also be processed subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review the applicable privacy policies.

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify processes certain personal information relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to operate, secure, and improve the platform and Services.

Information submitted through the Services may also be transmitted to service providers and other third parties involved in payment processing, fulfillment, analytics, communications, fraud prevention, or other store operations, subject to applicable privacy requirements.

Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information concerning how personal information is collected, used, processed, and shared.

SECTION 11 - FEEDBACK, REVIEWS, AND SUBMISSIONS

If you voluntarily submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise provide ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, comments, photographs, or other content relating to the Services (“Feedback”), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, and display that Feedback for purposes reasonably related to operating, evaluating, improving, and promoting Little Dog Art Studios and the Services, subject to applicable law.

You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to provide the Feedback and that your submission does not violate the rights of another person.

If you receive compensation or another incentive in connection with Feedback or a review, you are responsible for making any disclosure required by applicable law.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, decline to publish, or remove Feedback that we reasonably determine is unlawful, abusive, defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, misleading, infringing, or otherwise violates these Terms.

You may not knowingly submit false reviews, use a false identity, impersonate another person, or intentionally misrepresent the source of Feedback.

You remain responsible for Feedback you submit and its accuracy.

SECTION 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally, information within the Services may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product descriptions, dimensions, pricing, promotions, shipping charges, transit times, availability, inventory, or other information.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to update information when appropriate.

Where permitted by law, we may cancel or modify an order if material information affecting that order was incorrect, including after the order was submitted.

If an order is materially affected, we will attempt to notify you using the contact information associated with the order.

SECTION 13 - PROHIBITED USES

You may access and use the Services only for lawful purposes.

SECTION 14 - AUTOMATED AGENTS

This section applies if you use or cause software or a service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous actions on your behalf to access or interact with the Services (an “Agent”).

Agents must interact with the Services lawfully and must not:

  1. conceal their automated nature for purposes of circumventing security or access controls;

  2. defeat or circumvent CAPTCHAs or other measures intended to distinguish authorized access from prohibited automated activity;

  3. impersonate a human user when expressly asked to identify whether an interaction is automated;

  4. bypass technical measures intended to restrict automated access; or

  5. use automated access to infringe intellectual property rights, obtain unauthorized personal information, commit fraud, disrupt the Services, or engage in another prohibited activity.

We may implement reasonable technical measures governing automated access to the Services.

Nothing in this section prohibits ordinary lawful indexing, accessibility technology, search-engine activity, or other automated access that we authorize or that is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 15 - TERMINATION

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Services, or any portion of them, when permitted by law, including where we reasonably determine that you have materially violated these Terms or used the Services unlawfully.

You remain responsible for valid amounts incurred before termination.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including provisions concerning intellectual property, payment obligations, Feedback, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and privacy.

SECTION 16 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The information presented on or through the Services is made available for general informational and commercial purposes.

We do not warrant that every piece of information made available through the Services will always be error-free, complete, or current, although we may correct information when errors are identified.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except for warranties or rights that cannot legally be excluded:

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived or excluded.

SECTION 17 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LITTLE DOG ART STUDIOS AND OUR AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PROCURED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

  1. your material breach of these Terms;

  2. your violation of applicable law;

  3. your infringement of another person’s rights; or

  4. unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services through your account.

We will provide reasonable notice of an indemnifiable claim when practicable.

You agree to reasonably cooperate in the defense of such claims.

Nothing in this section requires indemnification where prohibited by applicable law.

SECTION 19 - SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law or severed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 20 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce a right or provision under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms, together with policies and other terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Services, except where a separate written agreement applies to a particular transaction, commission, service, or promotion.

A signed or otherwise binding commission agreement, proposal, or other transaction-specific agreement may supplement these Terms and will control to the extent of an express conflict regarding that transaction.

SECTION 21 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent except where such restriction is prohibited by law.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a lawful transfer, restructuring, sale, or operation of our business, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 22 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any dispute relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent another law must apply.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties consent to jurisdiction and venue in the appropriate state courts located in Harris County, Texas, or the applicable federal court having jurisdiction over Harris County, Texas.

Nothing in this section limits any consumer right concerning jurisdiction or venue that cannot lawfully be waived.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide notice of material changes.
