TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: August 2, 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to CPE.

The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to CPE. CPE operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, digital products, and creative services, to provide customers with a curated shopping and creative-service experience collectively referred to as the “Services.”

CPE is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies or agreements referenced in them, describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about your legal rights, including warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute-related provisions.

By visiting, interacting with, purchasing from, booking through, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Services.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNTS

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or country of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have given consent for any minor dependents under your supervision to use the Services.

To browse our store, purchase products, download digital content, submit an inquiry, or book creative services, you may be required to provide information such as your name, email address, billing information, payment information, shipping address, and project details.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate, current, complete, and lawfully provided.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activity conducted through your account. You may not sell, assign, transfer, or license your account to another person without our written permission.

We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend accounts, cancel orders, or restrict access when we reasonably believe that fraud, abuse, unlawful conduct, unauthorized resale, or a violation of these Terms has occurred.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions and representations of our physical products, digital products, and creative services.

However, colors, proportions, textures, sizing, image quality, and product appearance may vary based on your device, monitor settings, lighting, photography, production process, or other factors.

Product mockups, digital renderings, illustrations, and promotional images may be used to represent products before or during production. Minor differences between a displayed image and the final product are not necessarily defects.

We do not guarantee that the appearance, quality, fit, or performance of a product or service will exactly match your personal expectations.

All product descriptions, prices, specifications, availability, and service offerings are subject to change without notice. We may discontinue or limit any product or service at any time and may restrict quantities by customer, household, geographic area, or jurisdiction.

Physical products

Physical products may include apparel, accessories, prints, CDs, vinyl records, merchandise, collectibles, bundles, and other tangible goods.

Customers are responsible for reviewing product descriptions, size information, care instructions, processing times, and other applicable details before purchasing.

Digital products

Digital products may include, without limitation:

  • LUTs
  • Lightroom presets
  • Templates
  • Courses
  • Downloadable files
  • Graphics
  • Creative assets
  • Audio or video materials

Unless expressly stated otherwise, digital products are licensed to the purchaser for personal or authorized business use and are not sold with unrestricted ownership rights.

You may not resell, redistribute, reproduce, sublicense, share, upload, publish, transfer, or make any digital product available to another person without CPE’s prior written permission.

Digital products are generally non-returnable and non-refundable once delivered, downloaded, accessed, or made available, except where required by law.

Creative services

Creative services may include photography, videography, music videos, event coverage, podcasts and interviews, music production, design, branding, creative direction, editing, consultation, and related services.

Creative projects may be governed by a separate proposal, estimate, invoice, booking agreement, production agreement, license, release, or contract.

Separate project documents may address:

  • Scope of work

  • Project timelines
  • Deposits and retainers
  • Payment schedules
  • Revisions
  • Rescheduling
  • Cancellations
  • Usage rights
  • Intellectual-property ownership

If a signed project agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed project agreement will control with respect to that specific project.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS

When you submit an order, you are making an offer to purchase.

CPE reserves the right to accept, reject, limit, modify, or cancel an order for reasons including, but not limited to:

  • Product unavailability
  • Pricing or listing errors
  • Suspected fraud
  • Payment issues
  • Shipping restrictions
  • Unauthorized resale
  • Violation of these Terms

An order is not considered accepted until we confirm acceptance and successfully process the required payment.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. We may be unable to cancel or modify an order after it has entered production, fulfillment, or shipment.

If we reject, modify, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing information, shipping information, or telephone number supplied with the order.

All returns, exchanges, and refunds are governed by our Return and Refund Policy.

You represent that purchases are being made for lawful purposes. Unless expressly approved by CPE, products may not be purchased for unauthorized commercial resale, reproduction, or export.

Preorders and made-to-order products

Some products may be offered through preorder, limited-release, made-to-order, or production-based arrangements.

Estimated production and shipping dates are estimates only and may change because of manufacturing, material availability, quality control, carrier delays, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

By purchasing a preorder or made-to-order product, you acknowledge that fulfillment may take longer than standard in-stock orders.

We will attempt to communicate material delays using the contact information associated with your order.

SECTION 4 — PRICES, PAYMENTS, AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, promotions, product availability, and service rates are subject to change without notice.

The price charged will generally be the price displayed when the order or booking is submitted, as reflected in your confirmation, invoice, or agreement.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed prices do not include:

  • Shipping
  • Handling
  • Sales tax
  • Customs duties
  • Import charges
  • Travel expenses
  • Location fees

You represent and warrant that:

  1. The payment information you provide is accurate and complete.
  2. You are authorized to use the selected payment method.
  3. Charges submitted through that method will be honored.

Shipping, processing, production, and delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed.

CPE is not responsible for delays caused by:

  • Shipping carriers
  • Customs processing
  • Severe weather
  • Natural disasters
  • Labor disruptions
  • Production delays
  • Incorrect customer information
  • Failed delivery attempts
  • Events outside our reasonable control

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Contact us promptly if an address correction is needed. We cannot guarantee that changes can be made after an order has entered fulfillment or shipment.

Customers are responsible for monitoring tracking information and retrieving packages delivered to their address, parcel locker, mailbox, mailroom, reception desk, or other designated delivery location.

Questions concerning lost, damaged, missing, or incorrectly delivered packages should be sent to cpe.twincities@gmail.com. We will review the order and provide reasonable assistance, but carrier investigations and resolutions may be subject to the carrier’s policies.
