Welcome to The Youth Speak (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our products and services, including our physical magazines and advertisements (both physical and digital). By placing an order with us, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. Scope of Services
- We sell physical magazines to general consumers and offer advertising services (both in physical and digital formats) to businesses.
- By using our services, you agree to abide by these Terms.
2. Orders, Returns, and Refunds
- All sales are final. We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges.
- Limit one advertisement per business unless explicitly approved by us.
- Order Placement: All orders placed on our platform constitute a binding offer by you to purchase the specified products or services at the price listed at the time of order placement. Once placed, orders cannot be canceled, modified, or withdrawn by you under any circumstances without our permission.
- Our Right to Cancel Orders: We reserve the right to cancel any order at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, and without the obligation to provide a justification, valid or otherwise. If we cancel your order after payment has been processed, a full refund will be issued to your original payment method, unless the payment method does not support refunds, in which case we will contact you to arrange an alternative solution.
3. Pricing and Payment
- Prices for all products and services are subject to change at any time without prior notice.
- If an order is placed at an outdated or incorrect price, we may notify you of the updated price and offer you the opportunity to proceed with the purchase at the revised rate.
- We partially rely on third-party payment processors for transaction processing. Payments are subject to the terms and conditions of those third-party providers. We do not directly store or handle payment information.
4. Shipping Costs
- The price of physical magazines may include shipping costs. If shipping is not included, additional fees will be disclosed at checkout.
- If any delivery timelines are provided during the ordering process, they are estimates and are not guaranteed.
5. Parental Consent for Minors
- If you are under the age of 18, you may only purchase products or services from us with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
- By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old or have obtained parental consent.
6. Intellectual Property
- All content, logos, and materials associated with The Youth Speak are protected by intellectual property laws.
- You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute our materials without prior written permission.
7. Local Pickup
- Customers selecting the local pickup option (where available) on our website (www.theyouthspeak.com) will be redirected to a third-party payment link to complete their purchase. Local pickup is available at the designated location(s) and time(s) as they are specified on the website. Orders must be collected during the scheduled pickup window(s).
- Failure to pick up the order within the specified timeframe(s) will result in forfeiture of the order without refund. Customers are solely responsible for ensuring their items are collected on time.
-
At the time of pickup, customers must present proof of purchase, which may include:
- The order confirmation email or receipt with the order number and purchase details.
- Other information sufficient to verify the purchase (e.g., matching name and email address used during checkout).
- At our discretion, we may also request proof of identification (e.g., government-issued photo ID) if there is reasonable suspicion regarding the validity of the claim or for high-value items. Failure to provide the required proof may result in the inability to collect the order and forfeiture of the purchase.
- Once the order is picked up, The Youth Speak assumes no liability for the item. Local pickup pricing applies only to eligible orders and cannot be combined with delivery services.
8. Warranties and Disclaimers
- Physical Magazines: Products are sold "as-is" without any guarantees or warranties beyond delivery in good condition.
- Advertisements: While we provide space for advertisements in our magazines, we do not guarantee any specific outcomes, such as readership engagement, views, or responses to the advertisements.
