This website is operated by VEVA Ecommerce, doing business as Nicole's Coastal Boutique.

Throughout the Site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to VEVA Ecommerce and Nicole's Coastal Boutique, as applicable. We provide this website, including all information, features, tools, products, and services available through it, to you conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms of Service and all other policies referenced in them.

4. Products and Services

Certain products or Services may be available exclusively through our online store.

We make reasonable efforts to display product photographs, measurements, colors, features, and descriptions accurately. However:

Screen settings may cause colors to appear differently
Product appearance may vary slightly depending on the selected size or variant

Correct product information
Refuse purchases reasonably suspected to be intended for unauthorized resale

These rights will be exercised in accordance with applicable law.

Some orders may be processed, fulfilled, or shipped by third-party fulfillment partners operating from international locations.

5. Prices, Taxes, and Promotions

Unless otherwise stated, prices displayed on the Site are shown in U.S. dollars.

Product prices may change without notice. A price change will not affect an order that we have already accepted, except where the displayed price resulted from an obvious error and applicable law allows the order to be corrected or canceled.

Applicable taxes, duties, shipping charges, or other fees will be displayed during checkout where possible.

Promotional offers, discounts, coupon codes, and sales may:

Be subject to separate conditions
Have an expiration date
Apply only to selected products
Be limited to one use per customer or order
Be unavailable in combination with other promotions

We may cancel or correct a promotional offer when it was published or applied as a result of an obvious technical, pricing, or administrative error, subject to applicable law.

6. Orders and Payment

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products. An order is not finally accepted until we confirm acceptance or begin processing or fulfilling it.

We reserve the right to decline, limit, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including when:

A product is unavailable
The payment cannot be authorized
Order or billing information is incomplete or inaccurate
A pricing or product-information error has occurred
The order is flagged as potentially fraudulent
The order appears to be placed by an unauthorized reseller

Restrictions may apply to orders placed through the same customer account, payment method, billing address, shipping address, household, or device.

If we cancel an order after payment has been successfully collected, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

We may contact you using the email address, telephone number, billing information, or shipping information provided during checkout.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate order, billing, shipping, and account information.

7. Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by Shopify Payments or another third-party payment provider.

Your use of a particular payment method may also be subject to the terms and privacy practices of the applicable payment provider.

We do not generally receive or store your complete payment-card number.

You authorize us and our payment providers to charge the total amount displayed during checkout, including applicable product prices, shipping charges, taxes, duties, and other disclosed fees.

If a payment is declined or reversed, we may suspend fulfillment until valid payment has been received.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping destinations, estimated processing times, estimated transit times, shipping costs, and other delivery information are described in our Shipping Policy.

Delivery dates and transit times are estimates unless we expressly state that a particular delivery date is guaranteed.

We will make reasonable efforts to ship orders within the timeframe communicated on the Site or during checkout.

If we cannot ship an order within the promised timeframe, we will provide any notice and options required under applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, these options may include:

Agreeing to a revised shipping date; or
Canceling the affected order for a full refund

If no shipping timeframe has been stated, we will process the order within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address. We are not responsible for delivery problems caused by incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Orders may be divided into multiple shipments and delivered separately.

Shipping carriers and fulfillment providers operate independently from us. Delays caused by carriers, customs, severe weather, labor disruptions, or other events outside our reasonable control will be handled in accordance with applicable law and our Shipping Policy.

9. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Returns, refunds, replacements, damaged items, incorrect products, restocking fees, return shipping, and order cancellations are governed by our Returns, Refunds & Cancellations Policy.

That policy forms part of these Terms.

In the event of a direct conflict between these Terms and the Returns, Refunds & Cancellations Policy regarding a return, refund, replacement, or cancellation, the specific terms of the Returns, Refunds & Cancellations Policy will apply.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

10. Optional Third-Party Tools

We may provide access to tools, applications, integrations, or services operated by third parties.

We do not necessarily control, monitor, or maintain these tools.

Third-party tools may be provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, subject to the terms and privacy practices of the relevant third-party provider.

Your decision to use an optional third-party tool is voluntary and at your own risk. You should review and understand the provider’s terms before using it.

We may introduce additional tools, features, or Services in the future. Unless otherwise stated, those additions will also be subject to these Terms.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, content, products, or services.

A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse, control, or have reviewed the third party.

We are not responsible for:

The content or accuracy of third-party websites
Third-party privacy or security practices
Products or services purchased directly from third parties
Transactions conducted outside our Site
Damage resulting from your use of a third-party platform

You should carefully review the applicable third party’s policies and terms before submitting information or completing a transaction.

Questions or complaints regarding a product or service purchased directly from a third party should be directed to that third party.

12. User Comments, Reviews, and Submissions

By submitting content, you confirm that:

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not guarantee that the Site or Services will always be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from errors.

We may temporarily suspend or restrict access for maintenance, security, technical, legal, or operational reasons.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties that are not expressly stated, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

This disclaimer does not apply to:

Warranties expressly provided by us
Rights or remedies stated in our published policies
Warranties or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded
Liability for defective products where applicable law does not permit exclusion

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, VEVA Ecommerce, Nicole's Coastal Boutique, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, suppliers, service providers, licensors, and fulfillment partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from or connected with:

Your use of or inability to use the Site
A temporary interruption of the Services
Unauthorized access caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control
Third-party websites or services
Content submitted by another user
Lost profits, revenue, savings, data, business opportunities, or goodwill

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory involved and even when the possibility of such damages has been disclosed.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for:

Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
Willful misconduct
Gross negligence where it cannot legally be limited
Death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable
Non-waivable product-liability obligations
Mandatory consumer rights

Some states do not permit certain warranty exclusions or limitations of liability. In those states, parts of this section may not apply to you.

19. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless VEVA Ecommerce, Nicole's Coastal Boutique, and their affiliates, owners, employees, officers, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, and fulfillment partners from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from:

Your material violation of these Terms
Your unlawful use of the Site
Your infringement of another party’s rights
Content you submit through the Services
Fraudulent or malicious activity conducted by you

This section does not require a consumer to indemnify us for our own unlawful conduct, negligence, or violation of applicable law.

20. Severability

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

Any unenforceable portion will be considered severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

21. Termination

These Terms remain effective until terminated by you or us.

You may terminate your use of the Services by discontinuing use of the Site and, where available, closing your account.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably determine that you:

Violated these Terms
Used the Services unlawfully
Engaged in fraudulent or abusive activity
Created a security risk
Failed to pay an amount lawfully owed

Termination does not affect rights, payment obligations, liabilities, or remedies that arose before termination.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including intellectual-property, liability, indemnification, governing-law, and dispute provisions.

22. Entire Agreement and Waiver

These Terms, together with the policies referenced in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site and Services.

They replace prior communications or agreements concerning the same subject matter.

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

A waiver is effective only when made in writing by an authorized representative of VEVA Ecommerce.

Any ambiguity will be interpreted fairly and not automatically against either party because that party drafted the provision.

23. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any separate agreement through which we provide Services are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

This choice of law does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections that cannot legally be waived under the laws otherwise applicable to them.

Before beginning formal legal proceedings, you and VEVA Ecommerce agree to make a reasonable, good-faith effort to resolve the dispute by contacting the other party and describing:

The nature of the dispute
The relevant order or transaction
The requested resolution

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or exercising a right that cannot legally be restricted.

Subject to applicable mandatory consumer-protection and jurisdiction rules, disputes will be submitted to the competent courts of the Netherlands.

Where applicable law gives a consumer the right to bring proceedings in another competent court, this section does not remove that right.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes to:

Our Services
Business operations
Products or policies
Technology
Legal or regulatory requirements

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Changes will apply from the date they are published unless otherwise stated or required by law.

Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law.
