Terms Of Service

Heart of the City Clothing Co (“HOTC”) grants you access to its website, accessible via https://hotc.co (the “Site”), conditioned on your acceptance of the terms, conditions and notices contained herein (collectively, the “Terms of Use”). By using the Site, you agree to follow and be bound by each of the Terms of Use set forth below.

International Shipments

HOTC currently ships to many international countries. If there is a problem and HOTC is not able to ship to your country, HOTC will immediately notify you and provide you with a refund.

Duty, Value Added Tax, and Other Fees

Duty (or customs tariffs) is set by the destination country customs authorities and is determined based on a combination of the country of origin or manufacturing of the goods being purchased and the classification of that merchandise in accordance with a harmonized system adopted and used by the countries that our e-commerce partner, Stripe, supports. Check your local customs authority website for the latest updates on Value Added Tax rates, customs tariffs and other fees. HOTC holds no responsibility for fees that are imposed by international authorities.

Risk of Loss

All products purchased from the Site are transported and delivered to you by an independent carrier not affiliated with, or controlled by, HOTC. Title to the products purchased on the Site, as well as the risk of loss for such products, passes to you when HOTC delivers these items to the carrier.
