Terms of service
This is a smart move. The default Shopify templates are written for American t-shirt sellers, not New Zealand heavy equipment dealers.
Here is a custom, clean, NZ-Specific Terms of Service written specifically for Figure Projects. It removes the fluff, focuses on NZ law (Consumer Guarantees Act), and protects you regarding heavy freight and dropshipping.
Copy and paste this entire block into your "Terms of Service" box.
