Sefaria Store Terms
OVERVIEW
This website is operated by Sefaria, Inc.. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Sefaria, Inc. ( “Sefaria”). Sefaria offers this website, including all information, tools and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here, and any other policies posted in the website (including the Shipping, Replacement and Refund Policy, viewable at checkout, and the Privacy Policy).
By visiting our site and/ or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Store” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Store Terms”, “Terms”), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink, each of which is incorporated by reference. These Store Terms apply to all users of the Store, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/ or contributors of content.
Please read these Store Terms carefully before accessing or using our Store. By accessing or using any part of the Store, you agree to be bound by these Store Terms. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the Store or use any services. If these Store Terms are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Store Terms.
Any new features or tools that are added to the current store shall also be subject to the Store Terms. You can review the most current version of the Store Terms at any time on this page. We reserve the right to update, change or replace any part of these Store Terms by posting updates and/or changes to our Store. We will post any change to these Terms on our Store at a reasonable time in advance of the effective date of the change, and we will also make efforts to proactively notify you by email of material changes if we have your email address. Your continued use of or access to the Store following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Our Store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. If you sign into the Store using a third-party service (such as Shopify), you may be subject to additional third-party terms.
We process payments using third-party payment processing services; certain payment methods may be rejected by such third-party payment processing services, subject to their terms. If your order cannot be completed or was cancelled under such circumstances, please contact us using the methods mentioned here. If you are charged but do not receive an order confirmation, please contact us promptly and we will work with the payment processor to investigate.
The payment may involve various fees that you will be charged by the operators of the payment processing company or the credit card company that you use, according to the terms of service of those external service providers. You are solely responsible for paying those fees, as required. Sefaria is not responsible for any fees charged by third parties (including your bank, card issuer, or payment processor)
SECTION 1 - ONLINE STORE TERMS
By agreeing to these Store Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are 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 this Store. If you are under 13 years old, you may not use the Store. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you must provide us with your parent or legal guardian's permission before using the Store or purchasing our products, and they must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. The Store is for US customers only.
You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Store, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature.
A breach or violation of any of the Terms will result in an immediate termination of your access to the Store. We may also suspend or terminate access to the Store to comply with law, to protect the Store, or to prevent fraud or abuse.
SECTION 2 - GENERAL CONDITIONS
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks and personal information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We reserve all rights not expressly granted. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Store, use of the Store, or access to the Store or any contact on the Store through which the service is provided, without express written permission by us.
The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
SECTION 3 - PRICING, SHIPPING, ORDERS
Prices for all products are listed on the Store and are subject to change without notice, but changes will not affect orders that have been accepted by us. The valid price for your order is the price that was available when you submitted the order and received an order confirmation (including the process of providing payment method information). If the prices were updated before you were able to complete the payment for the order, you will be charged according to the updated prices.
We do not guarantee that the prices on the Store will necessarily be the cheapest, or that the payment terms will be the most convenient.
The shipment dates are calculated from the time we receive confirmation of the transaction from the credit card company or payment processing company.
We offer shipping, which may incur additional costs. The cost of shipping will be clearly stated on the checkout page. Please review the final price before confirming your order.
Your order needs to be properly received and accepted by us, with all the details required to contact you and ship the products, so that we can supply the products that you ordered. Sefaria will not supply the products that you ordered if the order is not properly received on its computers or if it is received in a defective form, even if the source of the problem is the computers of Sefaria. An order is not accepted until we send you an order confirmation indicating that the order has been accepted and processed.
If you do not receive a confirmation notice from Sefaria within a reasonable time after making the order, by telephone or email, you should assume that there was a problem with the order. In such a case, we recommend that you contact Sefaria. We will try to clarify, insofar as possible, the source of the problem and help you place the order or cancel it, if you wish to do so.
If at the time of placing the order you provide incorrect details, we cannot guarantee that the products will reach the person meant to receive them. Please take care to enter precise and up-to-date details.
Subject to the above, if you believe you have been charged an incorrect amount, please contact us at chava@sefaria.org.
SECTION 4 – PRODUCTS, BENEFITS & DISCOUNTS
Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the Store. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Shipping, Replacement and Refund Policy.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be accurate.
We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or access to our Store to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this Store is void where prohibited.
We may offer promotions, benefits, discounts, and coupons of various types on the Store. Subject to the provisions of any law concerning benefits, we may at any time discontinue these promotions, benefits, and discounts, or cease the use of coupons, replace them or change them, without the need to give any prior notice. This does not detract from your right to use coupons or gift cards that have not yet expired according to the amount stated on them.
Please note that you do not have a guaranteed right to benefit from promotions, benefits and discounts on the Store, unless this right is granted to you according to the terms of the promotion, discount or benefit. Any change in the details or price of your order, irrespective of the reason, will result in a reexamination of your entitlement to a promotion, benefit or discount. Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotions and discounts cannot be combined, have no cash value, and are subject to cancellation in cases of suspected fraud, misuse, or unauthorized distribution.
SECTION 5 - ACCURACY OF BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
SECTION 6 - PRODUCT REPLACEMENT AND LEGAL LIABILITY
Sefaria does its best to supply you with high-quality products by the promised date. If you believe that the products that you bought through the Store are defective in any way, please contact us via email at chava@sefaria.org or by registered mail to Sefaria Inc., 228 Park Avenue South Suite 79262 New York, NY 10003-1502. We shall respond to your request as soon as possible.
It is your responsibility to check that the products are suitable for your needs. Sefaria discharges its obligation to you by delivering the products that you ordered to the shipping address that you gave when placing the order.
Without derogating from the provisions of any law and to the extent permitted by law, if you received defective products from Sefaria, your only right is to replace them or receive a refund of your money, as stated in the Shipping, Replacement and Refund Policy. Sefaria will not be responsible for any damage from delivery delays or defective products, unless it occurred because of negligence on the part of Sefaria. In such cases, the liability of Sefaria is limited to an amount equal to the price of your order.
SECTION 7 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Certain content, products and services available via our Store may include materials from third-parties.
Third-party links on this Store may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with 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 should be directed to the third-party.
SECTION 8 - USER COMMENTS, FEEDBACK AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS
If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion is unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Store Terms.
You agree that your comments 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 comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Store or any related website. You may not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.

SECTION 10 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS
Occasionally there may be information on our Store that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions.
Although we are careful to check the prices that appear on the Store, sometimes there may be an error that results in an incorrect price being displayed on the Store. In this case, we will contact you after you have placed your order, inform you of the correct price, and allow you to confirm that you wish to complete the order at the correct price. If you refuse to complete the order at the correct price, we will not be obliged to provide you with the products, and in this case, you will not have any claims against Sefaria.
If one of the products that you ordered is out of stock, Sefaria will notify you of this through the Store, the telephone number or the email address that you gave, and may offer you an alternative product of a similar nature and price. If you accept this offer, your order will be updated. If you do not agree to accept an alternative product, Sefaria will cancel your order and credit your payment method, with refund timing that may depend on your payment method and financial institution. If possible, Sefaria will let you know that you can choose to wait until the ordered product is restocked.
