1. Ordering and Payment

• Order Acceptance: All orders are subject to acceptance by Udagem [**Note:** I assume “Udagem” is the official company name. If it’s not, replace it with the correct name throughout the document.]. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to: product unavailability, errors in pricing or product information, or suspicion of fraudulent activity. If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, we will issue a full refund.
• Payment Methods: We accept the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and Apple Pay.
• Pricing: All prices are listed in USD and GBP and are subject to change without notice. Sales tax will be added where applicable. [**Note:** Be sure you are correctly handling and displaying both USD and GBP prices, including any currency conversion. Make sure your website and payment processor are set up to handle this correctly.]
• Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and are based on the shipping address, weight of the order, and selected shipping method. We offer free shipping on orders over $159 USD. [**Note:** If you offer free shipping over a certain amount in GBP as well, specify that amount here, e.g., “…over $159 USD or £120 GBP.”]

2. Shipping and Delivery

• Shipping Timeframes: We aim to process and ship orders within 2 business days. Estimated delivery times are 10-15 business days after shipment, but these are estimates only and are not guaranteed. During peak seasons, delivery times may be longer. [**Note:** 10-15 business days is a relatively long delivery time. Consider if you can provide a tighter range, or offer expedited shipping options.]
• Shipping Carriers: We use USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL to ship orders. [**Note:** List *all* carriers you use. If you only use certain carriers for certain regions, specify that.]
• Tracking: Once your order has shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number.
• Shipping Restrictions: We currently ship to [**Specifically list the countries/regions you ship to. This is very important. For example:** “We currently ship to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.”]. We do not ship to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO addresses. [**Note:** You mentioned adding this later. Do it *now*. It’s crucial to be clear about where you ship.]
• International Shipping: International orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, and fees, which are the responsibility of the recipient. [**Note:** Consider adding a link to a resource that explains international shipping and customs, if possible.]
• Delivery Issues: If you experience any issues with delivery (e.g., lost or damaged package), please contact us at delivery@max8.store within 7 days of the expected delivery date.

3. Returns and Refunds

• Return Eligibility: To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused, in the original packaging, and with all tags attached. We accept returns within 15 days of the delivery date. [**Note:** 15 days is a relatively short return window. Consider extending it to 30 days to be more competitive and customer-friendly.]
• Non-Returnable Items: [**You listed several generic examples, but none are likely to apply to pickleball paddles. Remove this section entirely, or list *specific* items that apply. For example, if you sell personalized paddles, you would list them here:** “Personalized paddles are not eligible for return unless there is a defect in materials or workmanship.”]
• Return Process:
  1. Contact us at delivery@max8.store to request a return authorization. Please provide your order number, videos or images of the current product state, and the reason for the return. [**Note:** Requiring videos/images *before* authorizing a return is a good practice to prevent fraudulent returns.]
  2. Once your return is authorized, you will receive instructions on how to return the item.
  3. You are responsible for the cost of return shipping, unless the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong item shipped, damaged item). [**Note:** This is standard practice.]
  4. We recommend using a trackable shipping service for your return.
• Refunds: Once we receive and inspect your returned item, we will process your refund. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 20 business days. Shipping costs are non-refundable. [**Note:** 20 business days is a *very* long time to process a refund. Aim for a much shorter timeframe, ideally 5-7 business days. This is important for customer satisfaction.]
• Exchanges: We offer exchanges for the same item in a different color or for items of equal value. Please follow the return process and indicate that you would like an exchange. [**Note:** This is well-defined.]

4. Warranty

• Max-8 Paddle Warranty: We offer a 90-day warranty on Max-8 paddles against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage caused by misuse, accidental damage, or unauthorized modifications. [**Note:** This is a reasonable warranty period for a pickleball paddle. Be specific about what constitutes “misuse” – e.g., hitting the paddle against hard surfaces other than the ball, improper storage, etc.]
• Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, please contact us at warranty@max8.store with your order number and a description of the defect. We may require you to provide photos or videos of the *issue* and the unboxing. [**Note:** changed “opening box” for “unboxing”. You shoul require photos/videos of the product itself and a explanation of the issue].
• Warranty Remedies: If a valid warranty claim is made, we will, at our option, replace the product or issue a refund. [**Note:** This is standard.]
• Disclaimer of Implied Warranties: EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS WARRANTY, WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. [**Note:** This is a standard and important legal disclaimer. *Do not remove or alter this without consulting a lawyer.*]
