Welcome to The Black Cat Shop. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website. By browsing or using this site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, we’d ask that you not use the site — though Salem will judge you a little either way.
Who We Are
The Black Cat Shop is a curated book and lifestyle website, operated by Pedro and Pamela. You can read more about us on our Who We Are page.
Use of This Site
You’re welcome to browse, read, and share this site freely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, or similar) to extract content or data from the site without our written permission;
- Attempt to interfere with the site’s normal operation, security, or availability;
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that infringes the rights of others.
Our Content & Curation
Everything we publish — book selections, Room curation, Salem’s Ratings, articles, and recommendations — reflects our own editorial judgment and personal taste. It is offered for enjoyment and inspiration, not as professional, literary, financial, or any other form of advice. We do our best to keep information (including prices, availability, and product details) accurate and current, but we can’t guarantee it, especially where that information originates from a third-party retailer.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise noted, all content on this site — including text, the Salem character and associated brand voice, original artwork, illustrations, the site’s visual design, and the “The Black Cat Shop” name and logo — is the property of The Black Cat Shop and protected by copyright and other applicable laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this content without our prior written permission, other than sharing links to our pages or brief excerpts with proper attribution.
Affiliate Links & Third-Party Sites
This site contains affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission when you make a purchase through certain links, at no extra cost to you. Full details are available on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
When you follow a link to a retailer or third-party website, you leave The Black Cat Shop and become subject to that site’s own terms, policies, pricing, and availability, none of which we control. We aren’t responsible for the content, accuracy, products, or practices of any third-party site, or for any transaction you make there.
No Warranty
This site and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We don’t guarantee the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or entirely secure.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Black Cat Shop, its owners, and Salem (in whatever capacity a cat can be held liable for anything) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or any linked third-party site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time as the shop grows. The date below reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
