Terms of Service
The plain-language terms that apply when you use OriginCha or place an order with us.
Agreement to Terms
By visiting OriginCha, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Return & Refund Policy. If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use the site.
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
Who Can Use This Site
You must be able to form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction to place an order with us — generally, this means being at least the age of majority where you live, or having a parent or guardian's permission. By ordering, you confirm this is the case.
Products, Pricing & Availability
- We try to keep product descriptions, images, and pricing accurate, but errors can happen. We reserve the right to correct pricing or listing errors, even after an order is placed.
- Because our teas are seasonal and small-batch, availability can change without notice, and a product may sell out between browsing and checkout.
- Colors, harvest characteristics, and exact appearance may vary slightly from photos, since these are natural agricultural products.
Orders & Payment
When you place an order, you're making an offer to buy that product at the listed price. We may accept, decline, or cancel an order — including after payment has been processed — for reasons such as suspected fraud, pricing errors, or inventory issues. If we cancel a paid order, we'll issue a full refund.
You agree to provide accurate, current billing and shipping information for every order.
Shipping & Risk of Loss
Shipping timelines are estimates, not guarantees. Risk of loss and title for items you purchase pass to you once the order is handed to the shipping carrier. If your package arrives damaged, see our Return & Refund Policy for next steps.
Returns & Refunds
Returns and refunds are governed by our Return & Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms of Service.
Intellectual Property
All content on this site — including text, photography, graphics, logos, and the OriginCha name and branding — is owned by OriginCha or its licensors and protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not copy, reproduce, or repurpose our content for commercial use without written permission.
Acceptable Use
When using this site, you agree not to:
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or another user's account
- Interfere with the site's normal operation, including through automated scraping or bots
- Submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information when placing an order
Health & Product Disclaimer
Our teas are intended for general enjoyment and aren't a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Any wellness-related information on this site is educational and shouldn't be treated as medical guidance. If you're pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition, or sensitive to caffeine, please consult a healthcare provider before trying a new tea.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OriginCha isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or products purchased from us. Our total liability for any claim related to an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be excluded under applicable law, including liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.
Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites or services we don't control. We aren't responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms of Service at any time by updating this page. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
