Website Operator

The Untethered is responsible for operating this website, publishing its content, offering the products displayed on the website, and managing customer transactions.

Our store is hosted through Shopify. Certain products may be manufactured, packaged, or shipped by independent print-on-demand production and fulfillment partners, including Printify and its associated print providers.

The use of third-party platforms and fulfillment providers does not create a direct contractual relationship between the customer and those providers regarding purchases made through The Untethered, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, sizing information, pricing, availability, and other information displayed on this website are accurate.

However, product colors and appearance may vary slightly because of screen settings, lighting, garment material, printing methods, manufacturing processes, and reasonable production variations.

We reserve the right to correct typographical errors, inaccurate descriptions, pricing errors, or omissions and to cancel affected orders when necessary. If an order is canceled after payment, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

Nothing in this section limits any consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content available through this website—including the The Untethered name, logos, original artwork, graphic designs, product designs, photographs, text, slogans, page layouts, and other brand materials—is owned by or licensed to The Untethered and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may not reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, publish, sell, license, create derivative works from, commercially exploit, or use our protected materials without prior written permission.

Purchasing a product does not transfer ownership of the artwork, logo, design, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property displayed on that product.

Third-party names, trademarks, logos, and materials remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on this website does not necessarily indicate sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.

We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe that a user has violated applicable law or our published store policies.

External Links and Services

This website may contain links to third-party websites, services, applications, social-media platforms, payment providers, or shipping carriers.

These third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, policies, and privacy practices. The Untethered does not control and is not responsible for third-party websites or services, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

A link to a third-party website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, tax, medical, or other professional advice. Customers should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional when necessary.

Limitation of Liability
