Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the BOC Shoes website (thebocshoes.com), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Your continued use of our website following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically for updates.

2. Website Purpose and Nature

This website serves as an informational resource about BOC footwear and accessories. Our site showcases our product line, including sandals, clogs, boots, purses, flats, and wedges designed for women who value comfort and style.

While we provide detailed product information and direct links to purchase BOC products, all purchases are completed through third-party retailers, primarily Amazon. We do not process transactions directly through this website.

3. Affiliate Relationships

BOC Shoes participates in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program. This means we may earn advertising fees when you click on links to Amazon and make qualifying purchases.

Important points about our affiliate relationship:

• You pay the same price whether you use our links or go directly to Amazon
• We never receive or handle your payment information
• Amazon is solely responsible for processing your order, shipping, and customer service
• Any commissions we earn help support the operation and maintenance of this website
