OVERVIEW
Welcome to BIEN ART! The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to BIEN ART. BIEN ART operates this store and website, including all associated information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, the customer, with a customized shopping experience (the “Services”). BIEN ART is based on Shopify, which enables us to provide you with the Services.

The following terms and conditions, together with the policies referenced herein (these “Terms and Conditions” or “Terms”) describe your rights and obligations when using the Services.

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and address topics such as disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy, you may not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you represent that you are of legal age in the state or region of your residence and have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices that you own, have purchased, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or navigating our online stores or purchasing products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing, payment, and delivery information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you are fully authorized to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for the security of your account login credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.

SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every effort to display our products and services in our online stores as accurately as possible. However, we note that colors or the appearance of the products may differ from the colors displayed on your screen due to the device you use to access the store and its settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or match the representations in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue products at any time and to limit the quantities of products we offer to any person, in any geographic region, or within any jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 – ORDERS
By placing an order, you are making an offer to purchase. BIEN ART reserves the right to accept or reject your order at its sole discretion for any reason. Your order is considered accepted only after confirmation by BIEN ART. Acceptance of your order is conditional upon receipt and processing of your payment. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as BIEN ART may not be able to accommodate cancellation requests after an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you via the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of order.
The return or exchange of your purchases is exclusively in accordance with our right of withdrawal [LINK].
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your personal use or household use and not for commercial resale or export.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the prices quoted do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs, or import duties.
Prices listed in our online stores may differ from prices in brick-and-mortar stores or in online stores or other stores operated by third parties. We may from time to time offer promotions for the Services that may affect pricing and for which different terms and conditions apply than these Terms. In case of any inconsistency between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the terms of the promotion shall prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made in our stores.
