Terms of Service
Effective date: July 14, 2026
1. Overview
This website is operated by Folded Paper Hearts.
Throughout these Terms of Service, the words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Folded Paper Hearts.
By visiting this website, purchasing merchandise, joining our email list, or otherwise using our website and services, you agree to these Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return and Refund Policy.
Our online store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform through which we offer products and services.
2. Eligibility
By using this website, you confirm that you are legally able to enter into an agreement in your jurisdiction.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use this website only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
3. Products and Printful Fulfillment
Folded Paper Hearts merchandise is sold through our Shopify storefront and produced, packed, and shipped by our print-on-demand fulfillment partner, Printful.
Most products are made after an order is placed. Because merchandise is made to order:
- production may begin shortly after checkout;
- changes or cancellations may not be possible once fulfillment begins;
- products may be produced at different facilities;
- items from one order may arrive in separate packages;
- fulfillment and delivery times may vary;
- buyer-remorse returns, colour changes, or size exchanges may not be available.
Customers should review all product descriptions, size charts, colours, quantities, prices, and shipping information before completing an order.
4. Product Appearance and Mockups
We make reasonable efforts to display our products accurately.
However:
- colours may appear differently depending on your screen or device;
- product mockups are illustrative;
- image placement, print size, texture, and colour may vary slightly during production;
- garment sizing may differ between products and manufacturers;
- minor manufacturing variations do not necessarily mean that a product is defective.
5. Pricing, Taxes, and Currency
Prices are shown in the currency displayed on the website or during checkout.
Prices may change without notice.
Unless otherwise stated, prices may not include:
- shipping costs;
- applicable sales taxes;
- customs duties;
- import taxes;
- brokerage fees;
- currency-conversion charges.
The final amount payable will be shown at checkout.
6. Orders
Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance.
We may refuse, limit, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including because of:
- suspected fraud;
- payment failure;
- incorrect pricing;
- product unavailability;
- fulfillment limitations;
- shipping restrictions;
- incorrect or incomplete customer information;
- misuse of promotions;
- violation of these Terms.
If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, the appropriate amount will be returned to the original payment method.
7. Payment
Customers must provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information.
Payments are processed through Shopify and supported third-party payment providers. Folded Paper Hearts does not directly store complete payment-card information.
By placing an order, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the amount displayed during checkout.
8. Shipping and Delivery
Production and delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
Delivery can be affected by:
- Printful production time;
- product availability;
- fulfillment location;
- shipping method;
- carrier delays;
- customs processing;
- weather;
- holidays;
- incorrect addresses;
- events outside our reasonable control.
Customers are responsible for entering a complete and accurate delivery address.
Additional details are provided in our Shipping Policy.
9. Returns, Refunds, Replacements, and Claims
Returns, refunds, replacements, damaged-product claims, and lost-package claims are governed by our Return and Refund Policy.
Customers must contact Folded Paper Hearts before returning merchandise.
Do not send products directly to Printful unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
We may require:
- an order number;
- photographs of the full product;
- photographs showing the issue;
- packaging photographs;
- a shipping-label photograph;
- tracking information;
- a written description.
A replacement or refund may depend on review and approval by our fulfillment provider.
Nothing in these Terms removes consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
10. International Orders
International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges, handling fees, or similar costs.
Unless those amounts are collected at checkout, they are the customer’s responsibility.
Folded Paper Hearts and Printful do not control customs decisions, charges, or processing times.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, Folded Paper Hearts owns or is authorized to use the content made available through this website and project, including:
- music;
- lyrics;
- recordings;
- names;
- logos;
- branding;
- artwork;
- graphics;
- photographs;
- videos;
- written material;
- merchandise designs;
- character and persona materials;
- website content.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, modify, publish, commercially exploit, or create unauthorized derivative works from this material without written permission.
Purchasing a product does not transfer intellectual-property ownership.
12. Artificial Intelligence and Creative Transparency
Folded Paper Hearts uses artificial intelligence as part of its creative and production process.
Some Folded Paper Hearts visuals and on-screen artist representations are created using artificial intelligence.
Some photographs, visual performances, videos, voice elements, promotional materials, and other media may also be created, altered, or assisted using AI tools.
The music, lyrics, production, songwriting, creative direction, marketing, and management behind Folded Paper Hearts are created, directed, or overseen by real people.
By engaging with Folded Paper Hearts content or purchasing products connected to the project, you acknowledge that some parts of the project may be AI-generated or AI-assisted.
Where required by a platform or applicable law, Folded Paper Hearts may use an AI-content label or another clear disclosure. TikTok has policies requiring disclosure of realistic AI-generated or significantly altered content, and it may label, restrict, or remove content that does not meet those requirements.
13. TikTok and Paid Subscriber Content
Folded Paper Hearts may offer or promote content through TikTok, including paid subscriber-only content and free-trial offers.
TikTok controls its own:
- billing systems;
- trial eligibility;
- cancellation process;
- refund process;
- account access;
- platform availability;
- subscription features;
- technical support;
- policies and enforcement.
A subscription purchased through TikTok is managed through TikTok and may be subject to TikTok’s own terms and policies.
Subscriber benefits may include:
- exclusive demos;
- early song previews;
- Coffee With Kelsey episodes;
- lyrics;
- behind-the-scenes content;
- subscriber-only updates;
- other benefits described at the time of subscription.
Some subscriber material may contain AI-generated or AI-assisted visual, voice, or video elements.
Unless a fixed schedule is expressly promised, we do not guarantee that every category of subscriber content will be published at a particular frequency.
14. Email Communications
When you voluntarily join the Folded Paper Hearts email list, you agree to receive communications that may include:
- new-music announcements;
- release information;
- behind-the-scenes updates;
- project news;
- promotional offers;
- merchandise announcements.
You can unsubscribe using the link included in any marketing email.
Joining the email list does not require a purchase.
Our collection and use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.
15. Third-Party Services
Our website and project may use third-party services, including:
- Shopify;
- Printful;
- payment processors;
- shipping carriers;
- Mailchimp;
- Feature.fm;

These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
Folded Paper Hearts is not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, account restrictions, billing systems, content, or conduct outside our reasonable control.
16. External Links
The website may include links to third-party websites or services.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, safety, availability, content, or practices of third-party websites.
Accessing an external website is at your own discretion and may be subject to that provider’s terms and privacy policies.
17. Prohibited Uses
You may not use this website or its content:
- for unlawful purposes;

- to harass, threaten, or abuse others;
- to manipulate reviews, engagement, or transactions.
We may restrict or terminate access where these Terms are violated.
18. Accuracy, Availability, and Changes
We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current.
However, we do not guarantee that:
- the website will always operate without interruption;
- every error will be corrected immediately;
- every product will remain available;
- third-party platforms will remain available;

We may update, suspend, remove, or discontinue website features, products, or services without prior notice.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Folded Paper Hearts will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from:
- use of or inability to use the website;
- delivery delays outside our reasonable control;
- third-party platforms or services;
- customs or carrier delays;
- lost profits or opportunities;
- unauthorized access caused by events outside our reasonable control;
- reliance on website content.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where limiting it would be prohibited by law.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Folded Paper Hearts from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses resulting from:
- your unlawful use of the website;
- your violation of these Terms;

Folded Paper Hearts aims to describe its products, creative content, subscriptions, offers, and services accurately.
We do not intend to make materially false or misleading representations about:
- products;
- pricing;
- availability;
- shipping;
- subscriber benefits;
- creative processes;
- AI-assisted content;
- promotions or free trials.
Canadian competition law prohibits false or misleading representations made to promote a business interest, which is why clear and accurate wording is important across the website and marketing.
23. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent required.
The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
24. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time.
The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
Your continued use of the website after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, subject to any additional consent required by law.
25. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
Nothing in this section removes mandatory rights that may apply to customers in another jurisdiction.
26. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our:
- Privacy Policy;
- Shipping Policy;
- Return and Refund Policy;
- other published store policies,
form the agreement governing use of the Folded Paper Hearts website and store.
