Effective Date: [10, 5, 2025]
Owner: Shielded Empire
Email: shieldedempire.co@gmail.com

Welcome to Shielded Empire! By accessing or purchasing from our website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully — they exist to protect both you and us.

1. General Overview

Shielded Empire designs and sells handcrafted foam swords, shields, clubs, and related accessories for LARP, cosplay, and recreational sport. Each product is made to order and intended for safe, non-lethal use only.

By using our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or have a parent/guardian’s permission) and will use our products responsibly.

2. Products & Availability

All items are made by hand, and small variations in size, color, or finish may occur — that’s part of the craftsmanship! Processing times may vary depending on current order volume.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue products without prior notice. Prices are subject to change but will always be honored for any confirmed order.

3. Payment & Processing

Payments are securely processed through Shopify Payments. We never store your payment information on our servers. Orders will not be fulfilled until payment has cleared.

4. Shipping

All shipping timelines are estimates and may vary due to order volume, carrier delays, or unforeseen circumstances. You’ll receive a tracking number once your order ships.
For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

5. Returns & Refunds

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all handcrafted foam products, provided the item is returned in original, undamaged condition.
For more details, see our Return Policy.

6. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Shielded Empire products for:

  • Real combat or intentional harm

  • Unauthorized resale or reproduction

  • Illegal or unsafe activities

Our foam weapons are made for fun, creativity, and safe recreation, not for violence.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including designs, descriptions, logos, and images — belongs to Shielded Empire and may not be copied or redistributed without written permission.

8. Limitation of Liability

Shielded Empire is not responsible for injuries or damages resulting from misuse of our products. Always use protective gear and exercise caution during sparring or live-action events.

9. Privacy

Your privacy matters. We only collect the information necessary to process orders and communicate with customers. We do not sell or share your data.
See our Privacy Policy for more information.
