CritterMode Terms of Service

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Welcome to CritterMode.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of crittermode.com, including purchases made through our online store.

Throughout these Terms, "CritterMode," "we," "us," and "our" refer to CritterMode. "You" and "your" refer to customers, visitors, and other users of our website.

By accessing our website, placing an order, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our website or purchase our products.

1. Online Store

CritterMode operates an online store offering pet-related products, including the CritterMode Centipede Cat Costume.

Our store is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce technology used to operate our website, cart, and checkout.

You may use our website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

2. Eligibility

By using our website or placing an order, you represent that you are legally able to enter into a purchase agreement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use our services only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to accurately display and describe our products.

However, product colors, appearance, and proportions may look slightly different depending on:

  • Your screen or device
  • Lighting
  • Photography
  • Manufacturing variations
  • Your cat's size and body shape

Product descriptions, measurements, specifications, images, pricing, and availability may be updated from time to time.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue a product without prior notice.

4. Cat Costume Fit and Safety

The CritterMode Centipede Cat Costume is intended for temporary, supervised costume wear.

Customers are responsible for reviewing the available measurements before ordering.

Never leave a cat unattended while wearing a costume.

Remove the costume immediately if it:

  • Restricts breathing
  • Restricts normal movement
  • Interferes with eating or drinking
  • Becomes caught on another object
  • Causes visible discomfort, anxiety, or stress
  • Appears too tight or improperly fitted

Every animal is different. A costume that works comfortably for one cat may not be appropriate for another.

CritterMode does not guarantee that the costume will be suitable for every pet.

5. Prices

All prices displayed on CritterMode are shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Our current Centipede Cat Costume price may be displayed as $34.99, but prices may change in the future.

The price charged will be the price displayed at the time your order is submitted.

Shipping charges, taxes, and other applicable charges may be added during checkout.

6. Orders

Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance.

We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel an order when reasonably necessary, including in situations involving:

  • Incorrect pricing
  • Suspected fraud
  • Payment problems
  • Product availability issues
  • Incorrect product information
  • Abuse of promotions
  • Technical errors
  • Orders that appear intended for unauthorized resale

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

Please review your order carefully before completing checkout.

7. Payment

Payments are processed through Shopify and supported payment providers.

Depending on availability, customers may be offered payment methods such as:

  • Credit or debit cards
  • Shop Pay
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Other payment methods made available through Shopify

You agree to provide accurate and authorized payment information.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted for your order.

CritterMode does not directly store your complete payment card information.

8. Shipping

CritterMode currently ships to addresses within the United States.

Shipping charges and available options are displayed at checkout.

Current shipping options may include:

  • Standard Shipping
  • Free Standard Shipping on qualifying orders
  • Express Shipping

Shipping times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

Carrier delays, weather, holidays, incorrect addresses, high shipping volume, and circumstances outside our reasonable control may affect delivery.

For complete information, please review our Shipping Policy.

9. Returns and Refunds

Eligible purchases may be returned according to our current Refund & Return Policy.

Customers must contact CritterMode before sending a return.

Products returned without prior authorization may not be accepted.

Return eligibility, deadlines, condition requirements, refund processing, and other return terms are governed by our Refund & Return Policy.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and our Refund Policy regarding a return, the Refund Policy will control for that return.

10. Incorrect, Damaged, or Defective Orders

Please inspect your order after delivery.

If you receive:

  • The wrong product
  • A damaged product
  • A defective product
  • An incomplete order

Customers remain responsible for appropriately supervising their pets and using products according to their intended purpose.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by law.
