Terms of service

Absolutely! A Terms of Service (TOS) is a bit broader than a return/refund policy—it sets the rules for how customers interact with your business, both online and in person. It doesn’t need to be “legalese heavy” unless you want it that way. Since Dela’s Doggy Desserts is a store + bakery + event space + online shop, a TOS for you should cover:

What a Terms of Service Should Include for Your Business

  1. General Use – Customers agree to use your site and services respectfully and lawfully.

  2. Orders & Payments – Clarify order acceptance, pricing, payment methods.

  3. Products & Availability – State that bakery items are perishable, handmade, and may vary slightly from photos. Boutique product availability may change.

  4. Returns & Refunds – Refer to your return/refund policy.

  5. Events & Rentals – Mention that participation is at the customer’s own risk; dogs must be well-behaved and vaccinated. Note that rentals have separate contracts.

  6. Liability – Limit your liability for damages, issues caused by dogs, allergies, etc.

  7. Intellectual Property – Your website content, logos, and product photos can’t be copied without permission.

  8. Privacy – A simple note that customer info (like emails for newsletters) is kept private and secure.

  9. Modifications – You may update the TOS at any time, and the new version applies immediately.

  10. Contact Info – How customers can reach you with questions.
