3. Platform Account Registration and Usage Rules

Certain functions on our www.budgethomestores.com website, including saving your shopping cart preferences, tracking full order history, accessing exclusive member discounts, and submitting product reviews, require you to create a registered user account. When you complete the account registration process, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete personal information, including your valid full name, working email address, and other required contact details, and you agree to update your account information promptly to keep it accurate and up to date at all times.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding the security of your account login credentials, including your account username and custom set password. You agree not to share your account access permissions with any third party, and you bear full legal responsibility for all activities, orders, and operations that occur under your account. If you discover any unauthorized access to your account, or any account security breach, you must notify us immediately via our official contact email. BUDGET HOME STORES will not be liable for any property loss or information leakage caused by your failure to properly protect your account login information. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your account access at our sole discretion if we detect that you have provided false registration information, violated these Terms, or used your account to conduct fraudulent or illegal activities.

Even without creating a registered account, you may still browse most product listings on our public website pages and complete a guest checkout to place orders, but you will not be able to access the member-exclusive benefits, saved preference features, and quick reorder functions reserved for registered users.

4. Product Information, Pricing, and Transaction Rules

All products displayed on our www.budgethomestores.com platform, ranging from our bestselling carabiners, collapsible buckets, foldable cups, to hanging buckles and other outdoor small essentials, are described and presented to the best of our ability. We make every effort to display the actual color, appearance, specifications, and functional features of each product as accurately as possible, but we do not guarantee that your device’s screen display will 100% match the actual product you receive, due to unavoidable differences in individual display device settings. All product descriptions, functional introductions, and usage guidance on our website are for reference only, and do not constitute unchangeable binding commitments that override actual product functions.

All prices for products listed on our website are denominated in Euro, unless explicitly marked otherwise, and all listed prices do not include applicable value-added tax, shipping fees, and possible customs duties for international orders, which will be separately calculated and displayed in your checkout page before you confirm payment. We reserve the right to adjust product prices, launch promotional activities, or modify discount rules at any time without prior individual notice, but the price that takes effect at the exact moment you submit your order and complete payment will remain valid for that specific transaction, and will not be changed unilaterally after your order is confirmed.

Once you select a product, enter the required shipping and billing information, and successfully complete the payment process, you form a formal legally binding purchase contract with BUDGET HOME STORES. We will send you an automated order confirmation email immediately after your payment is verified, which records all details of your transaction. We retain the right to refuse or cancel your order under limited legitimate circumstances, including but not limited to: the product you ordered is out of stock and cannot be restocked within a reasonable timeline, there are obvious errors in the product pricing or description information displayed on the website due to system anomalies, our risk control system identifies the order as a suspected fraudulent transaction, or the shipping address you provided falls outside our current service coverage area. If we cancel your confirmed order, we will notify you in a timely manner via your registered contact email, and arrange a full refund of all amounts you have paid for that order to your original payment account within 7 business days, with no additional costs borne by you.

5. Payment Related Regulations

We support multiple secure payment methods on our website, including major credit cards, debit cards, and authorized third-party online payment services that comply with EU payment security regulations. You confirm that the payment method you use to complete the order settlement belongs to you legally, and you have the full right to use the payment method to complete the transaction. All payment processes on our website are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption technology, and we will not store your full sensitive payment card information on our local servers in compliance with relevant financial regulatory requirements.

You agree to bear all possible extra fees charged by your payment card issuing bank or payment service provider for the transaction, including but not limited to cross-border transaction handling fees, currency conversion fees, and related service charges. All these fees are determined and collected by the corresponding payment institution, and BUDGET HOME STORES bears no responsibility for these charges. If a payment dispute arises between you and your payment service provider without valid legal justification, we reserve the right to restrict your subsequent transaction permissions on our platform until the dispute is fully resolved.

6. Platform Intellectual Property Rights

All content published on the www.budgethomestores.com website, including but not limited to website page design layouts, original text descriptions, product photos, brand logos, graphic designs, video materials, software codes, and all other intellectual property related content, is the exclusive property of BUDGET HOME STORES, or we have obtained sufficient legal authorization to use these contents for operation. These intellectual property rights are protected by copyright laws, trademark laws, and other relevant intellectual property regulations across the European Economic Area and around the world.

Without our prior explicit written authorization, you may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly reproduce, republish, frame, or upload any of the platform’s intellectual property content to any other public network platform for commercial or non-commercial purposes. You are also prohibited from scraping our website data in large quantities through automated crawler tools for commercial use, creating counterfeit websites that imitate our brand image, or using our registered brand trademarks in any way that may cause confusion among consumers. Any violation of our intellectual property rights will constitute a breach of these Terms, and we reserve the right to pursue full legal compensation and hold the responsible party legally accountable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You may, under the premise of not modifying the content, share the public product pages of our website on your personal social media platforms for non-commercial personal use, which we encourage as long as it does not mislead other users or damage our brand reputation.

7. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

When accessing and using our www.budgethomestores.com platform, you agree that you will not conduct any of the following prohibited activities:

1. Any activities that violate applicable laws, regulations, or public order and good morals, including but not limited to using our platform to trade illegal goods, conduct money laundering, fraud, or other criminal activities.
2. Unauthorized access to our system servers, stealing other users’ personal information, implanting malicious programs, viruses, or carrying out network attacks that disrupt the normal operation of our website.
3. Submitting false, malicious, defamatory, or threatening information in product reviews, customer service communication, or any public area of our platform, which infringes the legitimate rights and interests of our brand, other users, or our employees.
4. Placing a large number of malicious orders with the purpose of disrupting our normal operating order, maliciously exploiting platform promotional loopholes to obtain improper benefits, or colluding with others to carry out order arbitrage activities that harm our legitimate interests.
5. Any act that interferes with, damages, or overburdens the normal operation functions of our website, including but not limited to using automated scripts to submit a large number of requests in a short period, which leads to system resource overload.

Once we confirm that you have conducted any of the above prohibited activities, we have the right to immediately permanently ban your IP address, permanently terminate your user account, refuse all subsequent orders you submit, and reserve the right to report the relevant situation to the competent law enforcement authority if the circumstances are serious, to pursue your corresponding legal responsibility.

8. User Generated Content Rules

When you submit user generated content on our platform, including product reviews, experience sharing texts, uploaded activity photos, and other content publicly displayed on our website, you confirm that the content you submit is original, you hold all the intellectual property rights of the content, or you have obtained full legal authorization from the relevant copyright owner to publish the content on our platform. By submitting such content, you grant BUDGET HOME STORES a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide usable license that allows us to use, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your submitted content in scenarios including product promotion, platform content display, and brand publicity, without paying you additional remuneration.

We do not pre-review all user generated content submitted by users, but we reserve the right to delete, block, or modify any content that we judge to be illegal, infringing, vulgar, or harmful to the legitimate interests of our platform and other users at our sole discretion, without prior notification to the submitting user. You shall be solely responsible for any legal disputes caused by the user generated content you submit, and you agree to fully compensate us for all losses, litigation costs, and attorney fees incurred due to the disputes related to your submitted content.

As seen on our website, we proudly display real, unfiltered stories from our outdoor customers who love using our gear on their regular weekend trips, and all these customer submitted stories are protected under the above user generated content rules.

9. Third-Party Links and Services Disclaimer

Our www.budgethomestores.com website may contain links to third-party websites, including but not limited to authorized payment service portals, courier tracking platforms, social media sharing function links, and other partner websites that are not operated or controlled by BUDGET HOME STORES. We do not have the ability to review and take responsibility for the content, privacy policies, and service rules of these third-party platforms. Clicking these external links means you leave our website, and these Terms of Service will no longer apply to your subsequent activities on those third-party platforms. We strongly recommend that you carefully read and understand the terms of service and privacy policy of the third-party website you access, before submitting any personal information or conducting transaction operations on those platforms. We will not bear any legal liability for any property loss or personal injury caused by your use of third-party services linked from our website.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our website services and all products we sell are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. BUDGET HOME STORES makes no explicit or implied warranties, including but not limited to implicit warranties of merchantability, suitability for specific usage scenarios, and non-infringement of intellectual property rights, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not guarantee that our website services will be 100% uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure at all times. There may be temporary service interruptions caused by system maintenance, network failures, force majeure events, or other uncontrollable factors, and we will try our best to notify users in advance and restore service operation as soon as possible.

We do not guarantee that the product functions described on the website will fully meet all your expected usage requirements under all possible usage environments. You need to judge and select the outdoor gear products that match your actual activity demands by yourself, and follow the official product usage guidance and safety notices we provide when using our products. We will not be liable for any personal injury or property damage caused by improper use of the product that does not follow our official guidance.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, BUDGET HOME STORES, our directors, employees, operation partners, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business reputation, business interruption losses, arising from your use of our website services or purchased products, regardless of whether we have been notified of the possibility of such losses in advance.

In any case, the total maximum aggregate compensation liability that we may bear to you for any and all types of disputes related to our platform services or product transactions will not exceed the total amount you actually paid to us for the specific order that gives rise to the corresponding claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so part of the above limitation provisions may not apply to you in certain scenarios, in accordance with local legal requirements.

12. Policy Updates and Modifications

We reserve the right to revise, update, or adjust the provisions of these Terms at any time according to business operation changes, new service function launches, or updates to applicable legal regulatory requirements. When we make modifications to these Terms, we will post the updated new version on the corresponding page of www.budgethomestores.com, update the “Effective Date” marked at the top of the Terms, and place a prominent notice on the website homepage to inform all users of the modification. For major modifications that will significantly change your rights and obligations under this agreement, we will obtain your explicit consent before the new Terms officially take effect. Your continued access to our website and continued use of our services after the updated Terms take effect will be deemed as your full recognition and acceptance of all content of the modified Terms.

We also remind you that our independent Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Refund and Returns Policy, which are published on our website footer, are all integral parts of this Terms of Service agreement. You also agree to be bound by all the provisions in these three related policies when you use our platform services.

13. Force Majeure

BUDGET HOME STORES will not be held liable for any delay in performance, or complete non-performance of our obligations under these Terms, caused by force majeure events that are beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, extreme weather, war, terrorist attacks, epidemic public health incidents, government mandatory orders, network infrastructure failures, and courier service large-scale operational suspensions. Once a force majeure event occurs, we will notify you as soon as possible, and try our best to minimize the impact of the event on your legitimate interests. After the force majeure event is resolved, we will resume the performance of our corresponding contractual obligations as soon as possible.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service shall be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of Ireland, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, your use of our website, or your product purchase transaction, shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation between you and our team via our official contact channels. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days from the date the negotiation request is submitted, either party may submit the dispute to the competent court located in Cork, Ireland for final resolution.

If any individual clause in these Terms is determined by a competent court or regulatory authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining clauses of the Terms will remain in full legal force and effect, and will continue to bind both you and BUDGET HOME STORES. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision contained in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that corresponding right or provision.
