Last updated: October 28, 2026

Filed by Clerk 07, Ministry of Dum. The fine print, in plain language.

1. Overview

This website and store (the "Services") are operated by Born Dum ("Born Dum," "we," "us," "our"). The Services are powered by Shopify. By visiting our site or buying from us, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"), along with our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy, which are part of these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least the age of majority where you live (or have a parent or guardian's permission) to use the Services. You're responsible for keeping your account details secure and for activity under your account. You agree to give us accurate, current information.

3. Products

• Our products are printed on demand. Colors may look slightly different on screen than in person, and minor variations in print placement and sizing are normal and are not defects. Normal tolerances are up to ±0.5 in. for print placement and ±1 in. for garment measurements.
• We try to describe products accurately, but we don't guarantee that descriptions, images, or other content are error-free.
• We may change, limit, or discontinue products at any time. Limited drops are available while supplies last.

4. Prices and payment

Prices are shown in US dollars and may change without notice. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and to cancel orders placed at an incorrect price, with a full refund. Payment is processed by Shopify and its payment partners. You agree to provide valid payment information and authorize us to charge it for your order, plus applicable taxes and shipping.

5. Orders

We may refuse, limit, or cancel any order, including orders that appear to be placed by resellers or that we suspect are fraudulent. If we cancel after you've been charged, we'll refund you in full. We may limit quantities per customer on drops.

6. Shipping, returns, and refunds

Shipping is covered by our Shipping Policy. Returns, cancellations, and refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

7. Intellectual property

All designs, logos, graphics, text, and other content on the Services are owned by or licensed to Born Dum, and the "Born Dum" and "Ministry of Dum" names are our trademarks. You may not copy, reproduce, sell, or use them without our written permission. Buying a product does not give you any rights to its design.

8. Your submissions

If you send us comments, ideas, reviews, or other content, you give us permission to use, edit, and publish it, without payment, in connection with the Services. You agree that your submissions won't be illegal, infringing, or abusive.

9. Prohibited uses

You agree not to use the Services to break the law, infringe anyone's rights, harass others, upload malicious code, scrape or interfere with the site, or attempt to get around security features.

10. Third-party services

The Services may link to or rely on third-party services (such as Shopify, payment processors, print partners, and carriers). We aren't responsible for third-party sites or services, which have their own terms.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The website is provided "as is" and "as available." Our products come with our misprint and defect promise in the Refund Policy and any warranties the law requires, and nothing in these Terms disclaims a warranty that can't be disclaimed by law. Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Born Dum and its owners, employees, and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Services or products. Our total liability for any claim related to an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited under applicable law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Born Dum harmless from claims arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Services.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

15. Changes and termination

We may update these Terms at any time by posting the new version here and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Services means you accept the changes. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These Terms and the policies referenced above are the entire agreement between you and Born Dum about the Services.
