These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ASTRA IFAME, the owner and operator of SheffLaces ("SheffLaces," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website shefflaces.com and any related content, tools, features, or services offered thereon (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect your rights. Please review the Arbitration Agreement section below.

Definitions

"You" and "user" mean the individual accessing or using the Services, or the company or other legal entity on whose behalf such individual accesses the Services. "Content" means text, data, articles, guides, prices, images, comparisons, and other information available through the Services. "Third‑Party Services" means websites, pharmacies, healthcare providers, telehealth platforms, payment processors, or other services not owned or controlled by us.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself or any entity you represent.

Nature of Services; No Medical or Legal Advice; Not a Pharmacy

SheffLaces provides information and comparison tools regarding medications, potential generic alternatives, dosages, side effects, disease overviews, and pricing from third parties. The Services are provided for informational, educational, and price‑comparison purposes only.

SheffLaces is not a pharmacy, healthcare provider, telehealth platform, or insurer, and does not practice medicine, pharmacy, or provide professional healthcare services. The Content is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional with any questions regarding a medical condition, treatment, or medication. Do not disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on the Services.

Prescription, Regulatory, and Geographic Disclaimers

Medications may require a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. Availability, legality, and pricing of medications, including generics, vary by jurisdiction and are subject to applicable federal and state laws and regulations. References to "licensed pharmacies" reflect representations from third parties; SheffLaces does not dispense medications and does not guarantee the licensing status, practice standards, or regulatory compliance of any third party.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any purchase or use of medications complies with applicable laws, including prescription and importation requirements, and for verifying the legitimacy and licensure of any pharmacy or provider you choose to use.

User Accounts and Security

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update it as necessary. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or suspected breach of security. We reserve the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion.

Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

We grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Services for personal, non‑commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

• Prohibited activities include: using the Services for any unlawful purpose; providing medical, pharmacy, or legal services through the Services; infringing intellectual property; scraping, crawling, mining, harvesting, or using automated means without our prior written consent; reverse engineering or circumventing security; interfering with or overloading the Services; misrepresenting your identity; posting or transmitting harmful code; or collecting personal data from other users without lawful basis and consent.
• You may not use the Services to order or facilitate the unlawful purchase, sale, import, or distribution of medications.

Health Information and Emergency Disclaimers

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately. The Services do not provide emergency or urgent care. Information about medications, side effects, interactions, or dosages may be incomplete or not tailored to your personal circumstances. Consult your healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.

Pricing, Availability, and Third‑Party Offers

Price information, discounts, coupons, and availability are provided for your convenience and are subject to change without notice. Listed prices may exclude taxes, fees, shipping, dispensing, telehealth charges, or other costs. We do not guarantee that any price, availability, or offer will be honored by any third party, nor that a listed medication or generic alternative is appropriate or available in your location.

Third‑Party Links, Pharmacies, and Providers

The Services may reference or link to Third‑Party Services. Such references do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation. Third‑Party Services are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, practices, privacy, security, regulatory compliance, or any transactions you conduct with them. Your use of Third‑Party Services is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

Purchases, Payments, and Taxes

SheffLaces does not sell, dispense, or ship medications and does not process payments for third‑party products or services. If you purchase from a third party, your payment, billing, fulfillment, shipping, returns, refunds, and customer service are solely between you and that third party. You are responsible for any applicable taxes and fees associated with your transactions.

Intellectual Property; License to Use

The Services and all Content, including the SheffLaces name, logos, trademarks, text, graphics, compilations, and software, are owned by or licensed to ASTRA IFAME and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any Content without our prior written consent.

Subject to these Terms, you may view and print a reasonable number of pages of the Services for personal, non‑commercial use, provided you do not remove proprietary notices.

User Content; Feedback; Monitoring

If you submit content, reviews, questions, or suggestions ("User Content"), you grant SheffLaces a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty‑free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such User Content in connection with operating and improving the Services.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate any laws, rights of others, or these Terms. We may monitor, remove, or refuse to post User Content at our discretion, but we have no obligation to do so.

Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share information. We are not a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, and the Services are not intended for the storage of protected health information. Do not submit sensitive medical information that you do not wish to disclose. We implement reasonable safeguards designed to protect the Services, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Warranty Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON‑INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR‑FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SHEFFLACES, ASTRA IFAME, OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SheffLaces, ASTRA IFAME, and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (1) your use of the Services or Content; (2) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (3) your User Content; or (4) your interactions or transactions with Third‑Party Services, pharmacies, or providers.

Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

Agreement to Arbitrate

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may seek relief in small claims court for qualifying claims. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Pre‑Arbitration Notice and Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, the complaining party must send the other party a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim and the requested relief. Notices to us must be sent to: ASTRA IFAME, 160 Spear St, San Francisco, CA 94105, and by email to [email protected]. The parties will attempt to resolve the Dispute informally within 60 days after the Notice is received.

Arbitration Procedure

If the parties do not resolve the Dispute within 60 days, it shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California, unless the parties agree otherwise, and may be conducted by telephone, video, or based on written submissions, at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that would be available in court, subject to the limitations of these Terms.

Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Opt‑Out

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days of your first use of the Services by sending a written notice with your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out to [email protected] or to the mailing address provided below. Opting out will not affect your other rights or obligations under these Terms.

Severability

If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be severed and the remainder will remain in effect, except that if the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be void.

Changes to the Services and Terms

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without notice. We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Effective Date" below or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services following changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Termination and Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California and the United States, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles. Subject to the Arbitration Agreement, the exclusive venue for any permitted court action shall be the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Export and Sanctions Compliance

You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or person subject to U.S. trade sanctions or export restrictions. You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. export control and sanctions laws in connection with your use of the Services.

Accessibility

We strive to make the Services accessible and usable. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us at [email protected].

Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them without restriction. There are no third‑party beneficiaries to these Terms.
