Terms of service

For clarity, OtterList does not manufacture, sell, fulfill, or ship products. All products are offered directly by independent brands, companies, or individual creators, and responsibility for such products rests solely with those third parties.

OVERVIEW
Welcome to OtterList! The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to OtterList. For clarity: OtterList does not manufacture, fulfill, ship, or sell products directly. All products are offered by independent brands, companies, or individual creators. OtterList’s role is limited to curation, affiliate/referral, and providing a platform for discovery.
The below 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 or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or 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, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.

To use the Services, you may be asked to provide certain information (e.g., email). Purchases made with third-party sellers are subject to their account, billing, payment, and shipping requirements. OtterList does not collect or store payment information and does not accept or process orders.

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



SECTION 2 - PRODUCTS 

OtterList curates and features products from independent brands and creators. While we may edit or rewrite product descriptions for formatting, clarity, or consistency, such edits do not alter or add to the seller’s original representations. All underlying product information (including ingredients, materials, sourcing, certifications, pricing, and availability) is provided by the seller.

OtterList does not independently verify product claims and makes no guarantees regarding accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any product descriptions. Responsibility for the accuracy of product details rests solely with the brand, company, or individual creator. This disclaimer applies in addition to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability sections below.

Product images and specifications are provided by the seller and may vary from the actual product. OtterList does not manufacture, sell, or fulfill products.

OtterList makes no representations regarding the safety, quality, or ingredients of any products listed on our platform. By using OtterList, you acknowledge that OtterList has no responsibility for any personal injury, illness, allergic reaction, or damages caused by products purchased through third-party sellers.


SECTION 3 - ORDERS 

All purchases made through OtterList links are processed directly by independent brands, retailers, or individual creators (“sellers”). OtterList does not accept, process, or fulfill orders. We do not handle payment, store payment details, inventory, cancellations, returns, or refunds, nor do we issue refunds on behalf of sellers.

When you place an order through a third-party seller linked on OtterList, you are entering into a direct agreement with that seller. Any questions, disputes, or issues relating to your order — including availability, pricing, shipping, exchanges, or refunds — must be directed to the seller and will be governed by that seller’s terms and policies.

OtterList may earn a commission if you make a purchase through affiliate links. This does not affect your relationship with the seller, which governs the transaction.

OtterList is not responsible for, and expressly disclaims liability relating to, any orders placed through third-party sellers, including order acceptance, processing, fulfillment, shipping, cancellations, returns, exchanges, or customer support.


SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

All prices, discounts, promotions, and billing terms are determined solely by the independent sellers featured on OtterList. OtterList does not set product prices, control billing terms, or process payments.

Prices displayed on OtterList are for informational purposes only and may not always reflect the most current price offered by the seller. The actual purchase price, taxes, shipping, discounts, and billing terms are those displayed on the seller’s website at the time of checkout, which take precedence over any price shown on OtterList.

OtterList does not collect, process, or store your payment information, and we do not issue refunds. Payment information provided at checkout is handled exclusively by the seller or their payment processor.



SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

All shipping and delivery of products purchased through OtterList links are the sole responsibility of the independent seller. OtterList does not handle, process, or manage shipping, delivery, or logistics.

Shipping times, methods, costs, and carrier selections are determined by the seller and are subject to the seller’s policies. Any questions, delays, lost items, damages, or delivery disputes must be directed to the seller or the carrier they use.

OtterList does not guarantee delivery times and is not liable for shipping errors, delays, customs issues, or any events outside the seller’s control. Risk of loss transfers from the seller to you upon the seller’s shipment of the order, in accordance with the seller’s policies.



SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All content and materials made available through OtterList, including but not limited to our name, logo, brand identity, website design, graphics, text, product reviews, videos, and software (collectively, the “OtterList Materials”), are the property of OtterList or its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

The name OtterList™ and related branding are claimed as proprietary trademarks of our business, regardless of federal registration status. Unauthorized use of the OtterList name, logo, or brand identity in connection with products or services not associated with us is strictly prohibited and may violate trademark and unfair competition laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the OtterList website and services for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the OtterList Materials without our prior written permission, except as expressly allowed by law.

All product names, logos, images, and other intellectual property associated with third-party brands or creators featured on OtterList remain the property of their respective owners. OtterList does not claim any ownership rights in third-party brand content and features such content solely for informational and promotional purposes.



SECTION 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS
You may be provided with access to customer tools offered by third parties as part of the Services, which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of the optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Services (including the release of new tools and resources). Such new features shall also be deemed part of the Services and are subject to these Terms of Service.

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third party functionality). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these materials or third party sites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access of any third-party websites, or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third-party.

SECTION 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

OtterList uses Shopify to host and power our website platform. Shopify provides the underlying e-commerce and technical infrastructure that allows us to display products, content, and affiliate links.

For clarity, Shopify is not a party to any transactions made through OtterList, and OtterList is not the seller of products featured on the site. All sales, purchases, and related transactions are made directly with the independent third-party sellers linked on OtterList and are subject to their own terms and policies.

OtterList does not process payments, handle orders, ship products, or provide customer service for purchases. Shopify simply powers the platform; it is not responsible for product listings, payments, fulfillment, or customer support.



SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here [LINK], and certain personal information may be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in other countries than where you reside, in order to provide services to you. Review our privacy policy [LINK] for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.

SECTION 11 - FEEDBACK
If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display such Feedback in any medium for any purpose, including for commercial use. We may, for example, use our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, enhance, improve and promote the Services and to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms of Service.
You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback will comply with these Terms. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain your Feedback in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for your Feedback; or (3) to respond to your Feedback.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene Feedback, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Services or any related website. You may not use a false email address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you make and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third-party.

SECTION 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS
We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information or remove listings at any time without prior notice. Because purchases are made directly with third-party sellers, OtterList does not process order cancellations; please contact the seller regarding any order changes. OtterList is not responsible for typographical errors, outdated information, or discrepancies between information shown on our platform and the seller’s website.

SECTION 13 - PROHIBITED USES
You may access and use the Services for lawful purposes only. You may not access or use the Services, directly or indirectly: (a) for any unlawful or malicious purpose; (b) to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances; (c) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or harm any of our employees or any other person; (e) to transmit false or misleading information; (f) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material that does not comply with the these Terms; (g) to transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material, including any “junk mail,” “chain letter,” “spam,” or any other similar solicitation; (h) to impersonate or attempt to impersonate any other person or entity; or (i) to engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Services, or which, as determined by us, may harm OtterList, Shopify or users of the Services, or expose them to liability.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE.

SECTION 16 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL OtterList, OUR PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS, OR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS PROCURED USING THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT (OR PRODUCT) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents.

SECTION 18 - SEVERABILITY
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

SECTION 19 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to the Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).

SECTION 25 – THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS & SELLERS DISCLAIMER

Products and services featured on OtterList are offered and fulfilled exclusively by independent third-party brands, companies, or individual creators (“sellers”). OtterList does not manufacture, sell, fulfill, or ship products and is not a party to any transaction you may enter into with a seller.

OtterList may earn a commission if you make a purchase through affiliate links. These affiliate relationships are solely for referral purposes and do not make OtterList the seller, manufacturer, distributor, or agent of any brand or creator.

All responsibility for products and services rests entirely with the seller, including without limitation:

  • accuracy of product descriptions, images, and specifications;

  • product safety, quality, and legal compliance;

  • packaging, labeling, and advertising;

  • shipping, delivery, and customs;

  • billing, taxes, refunds, cancellations, and returns; and

  • customer service and communications.

Any reviews, opinions, or recommendations shared on OtterList (including verified video reviews) are provided for informational purposes only and reflect the views of individual reviewers. They do not constitute endorsements, guarantees, or statements of fact by OtterList. Reviews may include both positive and negative feedback and will remain visible to maintain transparency for shoppers.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OtterList disclaims all liability for any claims, damages, losses, injuries, or other issues arising out of or related to third-party products, services, sellers, or transactions.
