Welcome to couturestep.shop ("Site"). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). These terms govern your interaction with our premium women's fashion and swimwear platform, including browsing, purchasing, and engaging with content. Please read them carefully before making any purchases of our curated collections.
The Site is exclusively designed for personal, non-commercial use by fashion-conscious women seeking premium swimwear and apparel. You expressly agree not to: (1) utilize any automated tools or bots to extract product data or images (as our designs represent significant creative investment), (2) purchase items for commercial resale (our boutique model focuses on direct customer relationships), or (3) attempt to manipulate pricing or inventory systems. Violations may result in immediate termination of access and cancellation of pending orders without notice.
All visual and textual content displayed on couturestep.shop—including but not limited to swimwear designs, product photography, size charts, fabric descriptions, and branding elements—constitutes protected intellectual property under international copyright and trademark laws. The distinctive aesthetic of our collections, from tropical prints to minimalist cuts, may not be reproduced, adapted, or commercially exploited without express written authorization. Unauthorized use of our imagery for affiliate marketing, counterfeit production, or AI training datasets is strictly prohibited and will be pursued legally.
While we meticulously verify all product specifications (including UPF ratings for swimwear, fabric composition percentages, and size conversions), occasional discrepancies may occur due to the handmade nature of certain pieces. We reserve the right to correct such inaccuracies (including pricing errors on limited-edition items) and will notify affected customers via email within 72 hours of order placement. In cases where physical products differ substantially from their online representation (e.g., color variance exceeding 10% from monitor displays), we offer complimentary return shipping.
To maintain exclusivity, we enforce purchase limits on signature collections (typically 3 units per style) and reserve the right to cancel orders exhibiting reseller patterns (such as identical items in multiple sizes). All swimwear purchases require confirmation of size chart review—we recommend comparing your measurements against our detailed sizing guides, as fit varies significantly by collection due to designer specifications. Custom orders (including special fabric requests) require separate agreements and are excluded from standard return policies.
Given the delicate nature of our fabrics and international sourcing, please allow 7-14 business days for order processing before shipment. During peak season (May-August), processing may extend to 21 business days. We partner with specialty carriers for climate-controlled transport of delicate materials—tracking updates will be provided, though some remote destinations may experience additional customs delays. Lost package claims must be filed within 60 days of shipment date for investigation.
Unworn, unwashed items with original tags attached may be returned within 21 days of delivery for store credit or exchange. Due to hygiene regulations, swimwear bottoms and bodysuits are final sale unless manufacturing defects are present (which must be reported within 48 hours of delivery with photographic evidence). Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility unless the return results from our error. Refunds for approved returns will be processed within 14 business days after quality inspection at our facility.
Editorial content may feature links to fashion blogs, fabric suppliers, or resort destinations that inspire our collections. These third-party resources operate independently—we neither endorse their content nor assume liability for their practices. When accessing fit guides or styling advice from external platforms, please verify the publication date as sizing standards evolve seasonally in the fashion industry.
The Site and all products are provided "as is" without guarantees regarding: (1) color accuracy across device screens (we provide Pantone references for professional designers), (2) perpetual availability of seasonal colors (discontinued dyes may necessitate substitutions), or (3) compatibility with all body types (consult our fit specialists for personalized recommendations). Fabric characteristics (e.g., chlorine resistance) reflect laboratory testing under controlled conditions—actual performance may vary with usage.
Couturestep.shop shall not be liable for: (1) sun damage or color fading from improper care (always follow our posted fabric guidelines), (2) sizing dissatisfaction when measurements weren't cross-checked against our detailed charts, (3) delays caused by customs inspections of luxury fabrics, or (4) incidental damages from proper garment use. This limitation extends to any third-party services integrated with our platform, including payment processors and virtual fitting technologies.
We periodically update these Terms to reflect operational changes, such as new sustainability initiatives affecting packaging or expanded size inclusivity standards. Material modifications will be announced via email 30 days prior to implementation, with the updated version always accessible in our footer. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance—we recommend reviewing Terms semi-annually to stay informed about your rights and our evolving practices in the luxury swimwear market.
