Terms of service

Last updated: October 14, 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Historical Costume Shop. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Historical Costume Shop. We operate this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, products, and services, to provide you with a curated shopping experience.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”), together with any policies referenced in them, govern your access to and use of our website and services.

Please read these Terms carefully before using our website. By accessing our website, browsing our store, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms, subject to any rights that cannot legally be waived or limited. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.

Our online store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to offer our products and services.

1. ELIGIBILITY AND USE OF OUR WEBSITE

By using our website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction or that you have the permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes. You must not use our website to violate any applicable law, infringe another person's rights, interfere with website security, transmit malicious code, or engage in fraudulent or abusive activity.

We reserve the right to restrict access to our website or services where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

2. GENERAL CONDITIONS

We reserve the right to refuse service, restrict transactions, or limit quantities where permitted by law, including where we reasonably suspect fraud, unauthorized activity, resale that violates our policies, or misuse of our services.

You understand that information you submit, excluding payment card information, may be transferred through various networks and adapted to meet technical requirements. Payment information is handled by applicable payment processors.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of our services without our express written permission.

3. PRODUCTS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Historical Costume Shop offers historical-inspired clothing, costumes, accessories, jewelry, props, and related merchandise.

We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, colors, images, materials, and other details accurately. However, the appearance of a product may vary depending on your screen, device settings, lighting, manufacturing variations, or other factors.

Some products are historical-inspired interpretations rather than museum-authenticated reproductions, original antiques, or historically exact garments. Unless explicitly stated, product descriptions should not be interpreted as guarantees of historical authenticity.

Product measurements, fabric composition, construction, included accessories, and other specifications may vary by style or supplier. Please read each product page carefully and consult its size chart before ordering.

We do not guarantee that every product will meet personal preferences or expectations beyond its stated description. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights where a product is defective, materially misdescribed, unsafe, or otherwise subject to a mandatory legal remedy.

4. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

Products are subject to availability. We may modify, discontinue, or limit products, collections, or services at any time, subject to existing contractual obligations and applicable law.

Because products may be fulfilled through different suppliers, availability can change after an order is placed. If we cannot fulfill an accepted order, we will contact you and provide the options or remedies required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to correct errors in product listings, descriptions, images, pricing, and availability. If a material error affects an order, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law rather than treating an error correction as permission to disregard an existing legal obligation.

5. ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE

When you place an order, you are submitting an offer to purchase the selected products under the terms presented at checkout.

Order confirmation emails acknowledge receipt of your order and do not necessarily establish that an order has been finally accepted. We reserve the right to review and decline or cancel an order where legally permitted, including in cases involving suspected fraud, unauthorized payment, inaccurate pricing, or product unavailability.

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will provide any refund required by applicable law.

Please carefully review your order details, selected sizes, quantities, and shipping address before completing checkout.

6. PRICING AND PAYMENT

Prices are displayed in the currency indicated on our website or at checkout. Prices, promotions, and product availability may change without notice, subject to applicable law and any existing order obligations.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing, payment, and contact information for all purchases.

Payment must be successfully authorized before an order can be processed. We may decline or suspend an order if payment cannot be verified or is suspected to be unauthorized.

Taxes, duties, shipping charges, and other applicable fees will be displayed or disclosed as required by law. International orders may be subject to import duties or taxes imposed by the destination country, as described in our Shipping Policy.

7. ORDER CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES

Please review your order carefully before completing checkout.

Our general policy is that orders cannot be canceled or modified after they have been placed because processing may begin promptly and products may be submitted to fulfillment partners.

If you notice an error, you may contact us immediately at info@historicalcostumeshop.com. We will determine whether any correction is possible, but we cannot guarantee that a change can be made.

This policy does not override any cancellation, withdrawal, or other rights that apply under mandatory law.

8. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping destinations, processing estimates, delivery estimates, tracking, customs charges, and other shipping details are described in our Shipping Policy.

Delivery dates are estimates unless expressly stated as guaranteed. Delays may occur due to customs inspections, carrier disruptions, weather, peak-season demand, supplier processing, or other circumstances.

Where we cannot ship within a legally required or promised timeframe, we will provide the notice, cancellation options, and refunds required by applicable law.

Please ensure that your shipping address is accurate and complete. Address changes after order placement cannot be guaranteed.

9. RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND STORE CREDIT

Returns, refund requests, and applicable restocking fees are governed by our Return & Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

Eligible voluntary change-of-mind returns may be refunded as store credit where permitted by law and where the applicable conditions have been disclosed. Any legally required refund to the original payment method will be provided as required.

Certain products may be subject to specific return conditions. Any restocking fee, including a fee for eligible shoe returns, will apply only where permitted by law and properly disclosed before purchase.

Nothing in these Terms or our policies excludes or limits any non-waivable statutory rights or remedies.

Please contact info@historicalcostumeshop.com before returning an item and follow the return instructions provided.

10. THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS AND SERVICES

Some products may be fulfilled or shipped by third-party suppliers and shipping partners. This may result in separate packages, different shipping origins, varying packaging, or different tracking numbers for items within one order.

We select products and fulfillment arrangements for our store, but third-party suppliers and service providers may control certain operational details, including inventory availability and carrier handling.

Your purchase from Historical Costume Shop remains subject to the applicable terms and consumer rights governing your transaction. The use of third-party suppliers does not remove any legal responsibility that we have to you.

Our website may also contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control every aspect of those external websites and are not responsible for their independent content or privacy practices. Review their terms and policies before using them.

11. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

We endeavor to keep the information on our website accurate and current. However, website content may occasionally contain typographical errors, omissions, outdated information, or inaccuracies involving product details, prices, promotions, shipping estimates, and availability.

We reserve the right to correct such errors and update information when appropriate. Any action affecting an existing order will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

You should not rely on general website content as a substitute for product-specific information, professional advice, or confirmation of a detail that is material to your purchase.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise indicated, the content of our website—including text, graphics, logos, page designs, original photography, and other original materials—is owned by or licensed to Historical Costume Shop and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and use website content for personal, non-commercial shopping purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, or commercially exploit our original content without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

Product names, images, and other materials supplied by third parties may belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on our website does not necessarily imply endorsement or affiliation.

If you believe content on our website infringes your intellectual-property rights, please contact us with sufficient information to identify the material and explain your concern.

13. USER SUBMISSIONS AND FEEDBACK

If you submit reviews, suggestions, comments, or other feedback, you confirm that you have the right to submit that material and that it does not violate another person's rights or applicable law.

You grant us permission to use, reproduce, and display feedback you voluntarily submit for purposes related to operating, improving, and promoting our business, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

We are not required to treat unsolicited feedback as confidential or provide compensation for it. This provision does not grant us rights beyond those you are legally able to grant.

We may remove submissions that we reasonably consider unlawful, abusive, fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate, where permitted by law.

14. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

You may not use our website or its content to:

Violate applicable laws or regulations.
Commit fraud, impersonation, or payment abuse.
Submit false or misleading information.
Interfere with website security or functionality.
Introduce malware or other harmful code.
Collect or misuse another person's personal information.
Scrape, copy, or exploit website content in violation of applicable law or our rights.
Infringe intellectual-property rights or facilitate unlawful activity.

We may investigate suspected misuse and take reasonable action where permitted by law.

15. PRIVACY

Our collection and use of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.

By using our website, you acknowledge that personal information may be processed as described in that policy and as permitted by applicable law.

Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.

16. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

To the extent permitted by applicable law, our website and services are provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free access to our website at all times.

We make no warranties beyond those expressly provided or required by applicable law.

Nothing in this section excludes mandatory product warranties, consumer guarantees, or other rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Historical Costume Shop will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from the use of our website or services where such liability may lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability that cannot legally be waived for defective products, fraud, intentional misconduct, or other protected matters.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, any limitation will apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

18. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Historical Costume Shop and its service providers from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of our website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

This provision does not require you to indemnify us for our own conduct where applicable law prohibits doing so.

19. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

These Terms are subject to applicable laws and regulations. Any governing-law or dispute-resolution provisions will be applied only to the extent legally enforceable.

Nothing in this section deprives consumers of mandatory protections or courts available to them under applicable law.

If you have a concern about an order or our services, we encourage you to contact us first at info@historicalcostumeshop.com so we can attempt to resolve the issue.

20. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time by publishing a revised version on our website and updating the “Last updated” date.

Changes take effect as stated in the revised Terms, subject to applicable law. Changes will not remove rights or obligations that have already accrued under an existing order where doing so would be unlawful.

Your continued use of our website after updated Terms are published constitutes acceptance of those changes only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

21. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by law or severed as necessary. The remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent legally permissible.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and the policies referenced in them constitute the agreement governing your use of our website and services, subject to any additional terms presented at checkout and any mandatory rights or obligations imposed by law.

If a provision in these Terms conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the mandatory legal requirement will prevail.
