## 1. Overview
Sparkle Scoops & Co. offers hand-packed surprise bundles and scoop experiences that may include accessories, stationery, self-care items, keychains, and other fun surprise items.

Important:

## 2. Products and Services

- Each scoop order is randomized and hand-packed based on product availability, themes, and customer notes when applicable.
- Product photos, videos, and examples are provided for demonstration and aesthetic purposes only.
- The exact items in each order may vary.

Because these are surprise bundles:
- Specific items are not guaranteed
- Duplicate items may occasionally occur
- Color and style preferences may be considered, but are not guaranteed

## 3. Order Acceptance
We reserve the right to:
- Refuse or cancel any order at our discretion

## 6. Final Sale / Refund Policy
Due to the nature of surprise bundles and hand-packed orders:

If an order arrives damaged due to shipping, please contact us within a reasonable time with photos so we can review the issue.
