Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Sinful Shores' website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

Age Requirement

Our products are intended for adults only. You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to access this website, browse our products, or make a purchase. By confirming your age upon entering the site, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Sinful Shores reserves the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or restrict access to anyone we reasonably believe to be under the required age.

Products

Sinful Shores sells handcrafted wood paddles intended for use by consenting adults. Each paddle is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece. Product images are representative; due to the nature of natural wood, variations in grain, colour, and pattern are normal and not considered defects. Prices are listed in Canadian dollars (CAD) and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to limit quantities or refuse any order.

Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods:

• Credit / Debit Card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major cards, processed securely through Stripe
• PayPal — processed through Stripe Checkout
• Interac e-Transfer (Canada only) — upon selecting this option, the product is reserved for 48 hours while you send the e-Transfer; if payment is not received within 48 hours, the reservation expires and the product is released back for sale

All transactions are processed in Canadian dollars (CAD). International customers may be charged a currency conversion fee by their bank.

Interac e-Transfer Terms (Manual Payment)

• e-Transfer orders are a manual payment method. We do not withdraw funds directly from your bank account.
• Your order is marked pending until funds are actually received by Sinful Shores.
• You must include the provided reference code in the transfer memo/message so we can match payment to your order.
• If payment is not received within the reservation window (typically 48 hours), we may cancel the order and release the product back for sale.
• A transfer marked as "sent" in your banking app does not count as completed payment until funds are received.

Shipping

Canada. Paddles may be ordered and paid for through our online checkout. Shipping within Canada is included in the listed price; the price displayed on the product page is the total payable. No shipping, handling, or other mandatory charge is added at or after checkout.

United States. We ship to the US, but US orders are not available through online checkout. They are quoted individually and confirmed in writing before payment, for the reasons set out under Customs, Import Duties & Tariffs below. To request a US quote, please email us directly or use our contact form.

Shipping to destinations outside Canada and the United States may be possible on request.

Orders are typically processed within 3–7 business days. Handcrafted items may require additional production time. Estimated delivery after shipment:

• Canada — 5–10 business days
• United States — 7–14 business days, plus customs clearance

Orders ship from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, so rates and delivery times vary by destination. You will receive tracking information via email once your order ships. Except as set out under Shipping Delays below, Sinful Shores is not responsible for delays caused by the shipping carrier or customs processing.

Customs, Import Duties & Tariffs

The United States ended its duty-free “de minimis” exemption for low-value parcels on August 29, 2025. All parcels entering the United States are now dutiable regardless of value, and duties must be prepaid at origin before a shipping label can be issued.

Accordingly, for orders shipped to the United States:

• Sinful Shores prepays applicable US import duties before shipment. The buyer will not be invoiced by the carrier or by US Customs and Border Protection on delivery.
• Those prepaid duties are included in the total quoted to, and accepted by, the buyer before payment is taken.
• Sinful Shores will not impose any duty, tariff, or surcharge after an order has been paid. If applicable rates change between quotation and shipment, we will either absorb the difference or issue a revised quote for the buyer's acceptance. No additional amount is charged without the buyer's express agreement.
• Duty and tariff rates are set by US authorities and are subject to change. A quote reflects rates in effect on its date of issue and may be reissued if more than 14 days old.

Orders shipped within Canada are not subject to customs charges. Orders shipped to destinations other than Canada or the United States may be subject to import duties, taxes, brokerage, and customs fees imposed by the destination country; where those charges cannot be prepaid, they are the buyer's responsibility and this will be stated in the quote.

Shipping Delays

If we are unable to ship your order within the time stated at the time of purchase, or within 30 days where no shipping date was stated, we will notify you and offer a revised shipping date. You may accept the revised date or cancel the order for a full refund. This right applies notwithstanding the all-sales-final policy below.

Returns & Refunds

Due to the handmade, one-of-a-kind nature of our products, all sales are final. We do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind.

Damaged items: If your order arrives damaged during shipping, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the damage. We will work with you to resolve the issue, which may include a replacement or refund at our discretion.

Significantly not as described: If the product you receive is significantly different from its listing description, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will make it right.

All content on this website — including product images, text, graphics, logos, and designs — is the property of Sinful Shores and is protected by Canadian and international copyright laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use our content without written permission.

Assumption of Risk

By purchasing a product from Sinful Shores, you acknowledge that you are a consenting adult and accept full responsibility for how the product is used. Sinful Shores is not liable for any injury, damage, or harm arising from the use or misuse of our products.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sinful Shores shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our products, website, or services. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific product giving rise to the claim.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of British Columbia, Canada.
