Terms of Service

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Welcome to Mortal Grounds Coffee. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, purchases from our online store, and communications with us. By accessing the site or placing an order, you agree to these terms.

1. Online Store

You must be at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence to place an order. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and shipping information.

We may refuse, cancel, or limit an order at our discretion, including orders that appear to be placed by resellers, distributors, or automated systems.

2. Products and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to ensure product descriptions, prices, and images are accurate. However, colors, packaging, labels, and product appearance may vary slightly.

Coffee is a perishable food product. Flavor, aroma, and appearance may vary by roast date, batch, grind, brewing method, storage, and individual taste.

Products may be discontinued, limited, or changed without notice. We reserve the right to limit quantities and correct pricing or listing errors, including after an order has been submitted. If a correction affects your order, we will contact you or issue a refund.

3. Pricing and Payments

Prices are shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other fees are shown at checkout.

Payment must be authorized before an order is processed. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use that payment method.

4. Shipping and Delivery

Orders are shipped to the address provided at checkout. Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carriers, weather, holidays, or other circumstances outside our control.

You are responsible for entering an accurate shipping address. We are not responsible for delays, loss, or additional costs caused by an incorrect or incomplete address.

Risk of loss passes to you when the order is delivered to the shipping carrier, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

5. Returns, Refunds, and Order Issues

Because coffee is perishable, we generally cannot accept returns of opened products.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect, or incomplete, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the issue. We will review the situation and, where appropriate, offer a replacement, store credit, or refund.

Orders may be cancelled only before they enter processing or shipment. Contact us as soon as possible; cancellation requests are not guaranteed.

6. Food and Allergy Notice

Our products may be produced, packaged, or handled in facilities that also handle common allergens. Review all product labels and ingredient information before consuming.

You are responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate for your dietary needs, allergies, sensitivities, or health conditions. If you have questions, consult a qualified healthcare professional before consumption.

7. Intellectual Property

All website content—including our name, logos, product names, label designs, artwork, text, images, graphics, and branding—is owned by or licensed to Mortal Grounds Coffee and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, or use our content or branding without prior written permission.

8. Prohibited Use

You may not use the website to:

- Break any applicable law or regulation
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
- Interfere with the site’s security or operation
- Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
- Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or place orders without permission
- Infringe another person’s intellectual-property or privacy rights
- Upload or transmit harmful code, malware, or spam

9. Third-Party Services

Our site may use third-party platforms and services for payment processing, shipping, analytics, email, and other store functions. Their services are governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services outside our control.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and products are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortal Grounds Coffee and its owners, employees, suppliers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website or products.

Our total liability for any claim related to an order will not exceed the amount you paid for the product or order giving rise to that claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mortal Grounds Coffee and its owners, employees, suppliers, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, or violation of another person’s rights.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in or serving Riverside County, California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
