Availability
Although our websites are accessible worldwide, not all products or services discussed, referenced or offered for sale in some of our Stores are available to all persons or in all geographic locations or jurisdictions.
The Elporia Network reserves the right to limit the availability of the Sites and/or the provision of any product or service described thereon to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction it so desires at any time and in our sole discretion and to limit the quantities of any such product or service that we provide.
On the other hand, when we use the term, “make available,” we mean post, transit, publish, upload, distribute, transmit, display, provide, or otherwise submit Content for consideration by our Customers and Users.
Use of our Sites is void where prohibited.
Billing
The following terms and conditions represent how we handle billing at the Elporia Network:
You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any debit or credit card or other means of payment that you provide to us. By providing payment card information to us, you authorize us or one of our Partners to store and use the card as a payment method for purchases made through your account, including on Elporia affiliated sites and properties which you access via your SocMe Login or you access using your Elporia credentials.
The Elporia Network and or/one of its Partners may participate in account updater services offered by some banks. If your bank participates in account updater services, these services will automatically update your card number or expiration date in our system when it changes. If you do not want to have your cards automatically updated, you can opt out of these services by contacting your issuing bank.
Please be advised that:
1) All billing information you provide to us must be truthful and accurate. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate billing information is a breach of these Terms of Use and may result in cancellation of your order and depending on the circumstances, law enforcement may intervene.
2) Prior to accepting an order, the Elporia Network may also request additional information from you. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase.
3) We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason including limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies, or errors in product or pricing information, or any problems that may be identified by a fraud detection service.
4) If your order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been charged, the Elporia Network will issue a refund to your credit card (or other applicable payment account) in the amount of the charge. We will attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. The Elporia Network may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
5) By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the Products, as well as all shipping and handling charges, if applicable and any taxes or VAT that may be owing by the jurisdiction where you reside.
6) You will not be charged for most orders until the order has shipped. Some exceptions may apply. For example when you pay with a Gift Card or PayPal account.

The buying, exchanging, selling and/or promotion (commercial or otherwise) of upvotes, comments, submissions, accounts (or any aspect of your account or any other account), karma, and/or content is strictly prohibited. These types of actions constitute a material breach of these TOS and other policies, and could result in legal liability.
Customers
As a customer of the Elporia Network, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
You grant to Elporia and our Parters a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid up, transferable and sublicensable right to use, reproduce and store Customer Content for the purpose of performing services on your behalf; improving the Products and Services; and as otherwise provided in our Privacy Policy.
You retain all rights in the Customer Content, subject to the rights granted to Elporia in this TOS agreement.
You may modify or remove Customer Content by accessing and updating your Customer Account.
Customer Content will be irretrievably deleted upon: a) your deletion of Customer Content or b) cancellation, termination or non-renewal of the Customer Account or subscription to any of the Products and Services we are selling or promoting.
Elporia may automatically download and install such updates and upgrades onto your device(s) or notify you of the need to update or upgrade your Products and Services and then you are solely responsible for applying patches that the company or developer has released.
Deliveries
Products will be shipped to an address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with any shipping restrictions that might be imposed by our carrier or as a result of government regulations.
All transactions are made pursuant to a shipping contract, and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery of the Products to the carrier.
Estimated delivery times are determined based on the method of shipping chosen when Products are purchased and the destination of the Products.
The Elporia Network reserves the right to place products in escrow if someone from outside the region where we normally operate makes a purchase. We do this, especially in the case of high-value items or first-time buyers, in order to give us enough time to verify the identity of the purchaser and to confirm that they are responsible for making the purchase.
Gift Cards
Following is our policy on the use of Gift Cards at the Elporia Network and its websites:
Gift Cards are subject to the same terms and conditions as other methods of payment (see: sub-section on Billing).
Your purchase and use of Gift Cards may be subject to additional terms and conditions that will be spelled out in a separate TOS that accompanies the purchase agreement.
The risk of loss and title to any gift cards passes to the User (purchaser) upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable.
Labeling
While our goal is to provide accurate information, product packaging and material may contain more and/or different information than that provided on the Elporia Network, particularly for products such as sex toys that may or may not include parody or humor as part of the product listing.
Always read labels, warnings, directions, and other information provided with the product before using or consuming a product. For additional information about a product, please contact the manufacturer.
If you find a product is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in an unused condition (excluding products that are not eligible for return), in accordance with the Elporia Network Hassle Free Return and Refund program.
It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the purchase, possession, and use of any Product.

All orders are subject to Product availability and the availability of Personnel to perform the Services. Therefore, Elporia and its Partners cannot guarantee that the Elporia Markeplace will be able to fulfill Customer’s orders.

However, you need to realize, if you don’t already, that the size and color you are seeing on your display may differ from the actual size and color of the object in reality. As a result, we are unable to guarantee that the product that you receive will look exactly the same as the product that was viewed on a monitor or device. There will always be a slight discrepancy, especially as it pertains to color. But such differences are unlikely to affect product performance or functionality. In addition, certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only.
