4. Prohibited Uses
You may not use the Site for:

- Using bots, scrapers, or crawlers to collect Site content (e.g., storage product images, pricing, dimensions) unless we give written permission;
- Modifying, reverse-engineering, or decompiling Site software (e.g., shopping cart, product search filters for "small-space storage");

- Fraudulent or illegal acts (e.g., identity theft, paying for storage products with unauthorized cards, reselling counterfeit organizers);
- Posting harassing, defamatory, or offensive content (if user-generated features exist, like review sections for drawer organizers);
- Pretending to be someone else (e.g., urbanwharf employee, verified customer reviewing modular cabinets);
- Disrupting the Site (e.g., overloading servers, blocking access for others browsing storage collections);
- Using Site content (product images, specs for wall shelves) to sell competing storage products or for commercial use without permission.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
All Site content—storage product images, descriptions, logos, trademarks, text, videos, and software—belongs to urbanwharf or our licensors, protected by global copyright/trademark laws:
- Do not copy, reproduce, or modify content without our written permission (e.g., using bin product photos for your own store);
- Do not use the "urbanwharf" name/logo (or similar marks) without consent;
- Storage product designs, specs (e.g., shelf weight limits, bin dimensions), and assembly guides are for info only—do not use them to manufacture or sell competing organizers.
6. Product Information and Safety
6.1 Information Accuracy
We strive to keep storage product info (dimensions, materials, care instructions, assembly steps) accurate, but:
- We do not guarantee no errors—colors may vary due to screen resolution, and dimensions may have minor manufacturing tolerances (e.g., ±0.5 inches for bin width). Email us at [email protected] if you spot discrepancies;
- Product availability (e.g., specific drawer organizer styles, bulk bin sets) may change without notice—we may discontinue items or update features (e.g., new material for shelves).
6.2 Safety and Proper Use
Our storage products are designed for residential/office use. You agree to:
- Read product manuals/care instructions (e.g., weight limits for wall shelves, cleaning tips for fabric bins);
- Use products for their intended purpose (e.g., not overloading drawer organizers, installing shelves per guidelines);
- Ensure proper assembly (if required) by following instructions—we’re not liable for injuries/damage from improper use/assembly (e.g., falling shelves due to incorrect installation).
7. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may have links to third-party sites (e.g., payment processors, shipping carriers, storage organization blogs). These are for convenience only:
- We do not control or endorse third-party content (e.g., a blog’s storage tips);
- Use third-party links at your own risk—review their terms and privacy policies first (e.g., a payment provider’s data practices).
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" with no warranties (express or implied). To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim:
- Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a purpose, and non-infringement (e.g., we don’t warrant a bin will fit your specific under-bed space or match your decor);
- Warranties of uninterrupted, error-free Site use, or no viruses;
- Warranties that storage product info (e.g., bin durability, shelf capacity) is complete or up-to-date.
Some jurisdictions do not allow excluding implied warranties, so this may not apply to you.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, urbanwharf is not liable for:
- Damages from unauthorized Account access (e.g., fraudulent orders for storage products);
- Lost data, profits, or business opportunities (e.g., delayed delivery of office organizers affecting workflow);
- Damages from relying on incorrect product info (e.g., buying a shelf that can’t hold your items due to wrong weight capacity);
- Harm from malicious content or third-party links;
- Other damages from violating these Terms (except from our gross negligence or intentional misconduct).
Our total liability for claims under these Terms is either $100 USD or the total you paid for the affected storage product/accessory—whichever is higher.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect business or legal changes (e.g., new rules for bulk storage orders). We’ll notify you of significant updates by:
- Posting the revised Terms on the Site with a "Last Updated" date;
- Emailing the address linked to your Account.
Continued use of the Site or placing orders after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
