Terms of Service — BuildAnyShop
Draft — not yet in force. Written from what the service actually does, and
accurate about it. Two values are still provisional and are marked
(placeholder): the liability cap period and the absence of an uptime
commitment. A lawyer should see sections 13 and 16 before this is published.

1. Who these terms are between
These terms are between you and Adpence LLC, a limited liability company
formed in Wyoming, United States, at 1404 Dalmation Pl. Apt T2, Belcamp, MD 21017
("we", "us"). They cover the BuildAnyShop application, buildanyshop.com, and
anything bought through either.
By creating an account or buying anything from us, you accept them.
2. What the service does
BuildAnyShop builds Shopify storefronts. It generates branding and copy, sources
real products from connected dropshipping suppliers, installs a theme and a
catalogue into a Shopify shop you control, and routes paid orders to the supplier
that fulfills them.
We provide the software. We do not own, operate or control your shop, we are
not a party to anything you sell, and we do not take possession of your stock.
3. Your account
You must be 18 or older and able to enter a contract. Keep your credentials
secure; anything done through your account is treated as done by you. Tell us
promptly at support@buildanyshop.com if you believe it has been used without your
permission.
4. Your Shopify shop and your suppliers
You connect your own Shopify shop and your own supplier accounts. You are
responsible for complying with Shopify's terms and each supplier's terms, and for
the content of the shop once it is yours.
Where you authorise it, we act on your instruction: installing products, placing
supplier orders, and sending a shopper's delivery details to the supplier so the
parcel can be shipped. How we handle that data is in the
[Privacy Policy](/privacy).
5. What you are buying
Subscriptions. Plans are billed monthly or annually, in advance, through
Shopify Billing where your shop is connected, or through Stripe where it is not.
A plan renews until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the
current period running to its end.
Ready-made stores. A one-time purchase. You receive your own copy of the
store — its branding, copy, pages and catalogue — into your account, and it
installs into your Shopify shop when you connect one. The same store may be sold
to other buyers unless its listing says otherwise.
Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated. You are responsible for any tax
arising on your own sales.
6. Refunds on what you buy from us
This is about the money you pay Adpence LLC. Refunds to your own shoppers are
a different thing and are dealt with in section 6a.
Seven-day money-back guarantee. Ask us within 7 days of a payment and we
refund it in full. One email to support@buildanyshop.com is enough; you do not
have to give a reason. This covers your first payment on a plan and it covers a
ready-made store.
Subscriptions. Cancel at any time. Outside the seven days your plan runs to
the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund part of a
period.
Ready-made stores. A ready-made store is copied into your account the moment
the payment succeeds, and you keep the branding, copy, pages and catalogue from
that point. Outside the seven days that sale is final, because the store has
already been delivered to you.
Statutory rights that cannot be excluded are unaffected. If your local consumer
law gives you a right to cancel, that right stands whatever this section says.
6a. Refunds to your shoppers, and what the suppliers allow
You decide your own store's refund policy. What you can afford to promise is
shaped by the supplier fulfilling the order, because that is who refunds you.
As at the date above, in summary:
| Supplier | Claim window | Goods returned? | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Printful | 30 days from delivery | No | Misprint, damage, defect, lost in transit |
| Printify | 30 days from delivery | No | Damage, misprint, lost in transit |
| AliExpress | 15 days from delivery confirmation | Sometimes, seller's choice | Not received, not as described, damaged |
| CJdropshipping | Roughly 45–110 days from despatch, by destination | Sometimes | Non-delivery, damage, wrong item |
Three things follow, and they are the ones that cost merchants money:
1. No supplier refunds a change of mind. Print on demand items are made to
order and none of them is returnable for buyer's remorse. Where consumer law
gives your shopper a cancellation right anyway — in the UK and EU, 14 days on
a distance sale — the cost of honouring it is yours, not the supplier's.
2. AliExpress runs on a 15-day clock from delivery confirmation. Promising a
30-day return on an AliExpress-sourced product means paying for the last
fifteen days yourself.
3. CJ's clock starts at despatch, not delivery, and the dispute must be
opened on CJ's own platform.
Every supplier requires evidence — photographs, and video where a photograph
cannot show the fault.
We do not control any of this, we are not party to it, and these windows change
without notice. The fuller summary, with sources, is in
docs/supplier-refund-policies.md; the supplier's own current policy is the
authority over both.
You are responsible for your store's published refund policy, for it being
lawful where you sell, and for honouring it.
7. Earnings, margins and forecasts
This matters more than most of this document, so read it.
The margins, costs and profit figures shown anywhere in the product — on a store
listing, in the scenario calculator, in the catalogue — are **arithmetic on
supplier prices at the moment they were read**. They are not a forecast, a
promise, or a representation that you will earn anything.
Specifically:
- supplier prices change without notice, and a figure can be stale;
- shipping is frequently not included in a margin, and we label it when it is
not;
- nothing shown accounts for advertising, payment processing, taxes, returns,
chargebacks, customer service or your time;
- stock can sell out and a supplier can discontinue a product.
We do not guarantee any level of sales, revenue or profit. Dropshipping is a
business, and most businesses are hard. Anyone who tells you otherwise is
selling something.
8. Acceptable use
Do not use the service to sell counterfeit, illegal, stolen, recalled or unsafe
goods; to infringe anyone's trade marks or copyright; to make false health,
medical or earnings claims; to send unsolicited marketing; or to break Shopify's
rules, a supplier's rules, or the law.
Do not attempt to break, overload, scrape or reverse engineer the service, or use
it to build a directly competing product.
We may suspend or close an account that does these things. Where we can, we will
tell you why.
9. AI-generated content
Branding, product copy and store text are generated by AI from what you ask for.
You should read it before you publish it. You are responsible for the content of
your shop, including whether a claim in it is true and whether you are allowed to
make it.
Generated text is not guaranteed to be unique, and similar prompts can produce
similar results.
10. Who owns what
Yours: your shop, your brand, your uploads, and the content of the stores you
generate or buy. You may use, change and sell through them without restriction
from us.
Ours: the BuildAnyShop application, its source, its theme engine and its name.
A subscription or a store purchase is a licence to use the service, not a transfer
of it.
Theirs: product images and descriptions come from suppliers and belong to
them or their licensors. We pass them through; we do not grant you rights in them
beyond selling the products they depict.
11. Third parties
Shopify, the suppliers, Stripe and our other providers run their own services on
their own terms. We are not responsible for their outages, their decisions, their
prices, or a supplier shipping late or not at all. Where a supplier fails you, we
will help you chase it, but the contract for the goods is between you and them.
12. Availability
We aim to keep the service running and do not promise it will be uninterrupted.
We may change features, and we will give reasonable notice before removing one
you depend on. We give no uptime commitment. (placeholder)
13. Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any
kind to the fullest extent the law allows.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Adpence LLC is not liable for lost
profits, lost sales, lost data, or indirect or consequential loss. Our total
liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the
12 months (placeholder) before the claim arose.
Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully
be excluded.
14. Ending it
You may close your account at any time. We may end these terms if you break them,
or on reasonable notice.
When it ends: your subscription stops at the end of the paid period, your licence
to use the service stops, and the stores already installed in your Shopify shop
remain yours. We delete your data as described in the Privacy Policy, and in any
case within 48 hours of Shopify telling us the app was uninstalled.
15. Changes
We may change these terms. Material changes will be emailed to account holders
before they take effect, and the date above will change. Continuing to use the
service after that is acceptance.
16. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Wyoming, United States, where
Adpence LLC is formed, and the courts of Wyoming have jurisdiction, except
where your local consumer law gives you rights you cannot be deprived of. The
company operates from Maryland; the choice of Wyoming follows where it is
registered, and is deliberate rather than an oversight.

Settled: Adpence LLC, formed in Wyoming, operating from 1404 Dalmation Pl. Apt
T2, Belcamp, MD 21017. Support at support@buildanyshop.com, a live mailbox.
Governing law and venue: Wyoming. Refunds: seven days, in full, on a plan
payment or a ready-made store. Effective 18 October 2026.
One thing to watch: the seven-day guarantee covers a ready-made store, and a
buyer who deploys one to a live Shopify shop inside those seven days keeps what
was deployed. That is a real exposure and narrowing it is a commercial decision,
not a legal one.
Then
- ☐ Have a lawyer review it, particularly §13 and §16
- ☐ Publish at
https://www.buildanyshop.com/termsand link it from the listing - ☐ Keep §7 in step with what the product actually displays
- ☐ Re-check the §6a table against each supplier before quoting it to a shopper
