Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

Sections relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, governing law, and any accrued payment obligations shall survive termination of this agreement.
Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Tunisia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, or validity thereof shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Tunisia.
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, we encourage both parties to attempt to resolve disputes amicably. You agree to contact us at legal@shopium.tn and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the matter informally before escalating to formal dispute resolution.
If you are accessing the Service from outside Tunisia, you are responsible for compliance with your local laws and regulations. Shopium makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions.
