Terms of Sale

Last updated November 10, 2026

These Terms of Sale (the “Terms”) apply when you buy RIME products on this website. They are a contract between you and the company that operates RIME, now being registered in the United States (“RIME”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Please read them before you order. By placing an order, you accept them.

Before the shop opens: the shop takes no orders until the company that sells RIME products is registered and online payment is set up. Until then, the checkout page shows a summary of your cart only, no order can be placed or paid, nothing is charged, and no contract is formed. These Terms describe how orders will work once the shop opens.

In short: you must be 18 or older, with a delivery address in the 50 US states and Washington, D.C., which are the only places we deliver to. Prices are in US dollars, with shipping and import duties included; sales tax, where it applies, is calculated at payment. Your payment method is charged once, when you place your order. You can cancel at no cost until your order ships. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a change of mind, but anything that has held a drink or food cannot, as explained in Returns and the food-contact rule. Defective, damaged or wrong items are replaced or refunded, even if used. We give no separate written warranty, and we do not take away the warranties the law gives you. These Terms do not require arbitration.

Who we are

The seller of RIME products is the company that operates RIME, now being registered in the United States. See our Seller Information page. E-mail: contact@rimecups.com. Customer service is by e-mail only, and we reply within 2 business days.

Who can buy

• You must be 18 or older and able to enter into a binding contract to place an order. At checkout, you confirm that you are 18 or older.
• If you are under 18, you cannot order.
• We deliver only to addresses in the 50 US states and Washington, D.C., as explained in Where we sell and in our Shipping & Delivery policy.
• We sell to individual customers, for their own use or for someone else’s, not for resale. We may restrict the quantity of a product per order.
• Please give us accurate contact and delivery details. We use them to deliver your order and to reach you about it.

Our products and the information about them

• Product information: each product page shows what is in the box, how to use and care for the product, its main details and its safety panel. Please read it, and our Use & Safety page, before you order and before the first use.
• What we describe: we describe our products by what they are and how they are used: the shape of the body, the lid and how it opens and closes, the straw, the handle, the loop or the cap, and what is in the box. We describe the body of each product as the maker does: double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless steel. That describes how it is built. It is not a promise of any insulation time: how a drink or a meal fares in it depends on what you put in, how full it is, how often you open it and the air around it.
• Materials and figures still being confirmed: we describe materials as the maker describes them, for example “stainless steel” for the body, “plastic” for the lids and straws and “silicone” for the seals. We are collecting the maker’s written confirmation of the materials and construction of each product, and lab reports and measurements for our own units. Until we have them, we publish no insulation time, no measurements, no dishwasher instructions beyond washing by hand, no statement about which cup holders a product sits in, and no claim about how a lid holds a drink when the cup tips over. Our Materials & Prop 65 page lists what is still being confirmed.
• Capacities: the capacity of each product, shown in fluid ounces and liters on its page, is the capacity stated by the maker. The number in a product’s name is that capacity in fluid ounces. Leave a little room at the top when you fill it.
• Images: the images on this website are digital renders of our products, made to show the shape and color of each one as faithfully as we can. The product you receive can differ a little from them: colors look a little different from one screen to another, and they can vary a little from one production run to the next. The people, places, drinks, food, ice and any other object shown in an image are not included unless the product page lists them under “In the box”.
• Colors: every product comes in the same eight colors, with the same name on every product. Each product is sold on its own, at its own price, which is the same in every color.
• Accuracy: we work to keep our descriptions right. If we find a mistake, or learn from the maker that a detail is different, we correct the page. If a product you received does not match its description, see Defective, damaged or wrong items.
• Origin: our products are imported.
• Not toys: none of our products is a toy, and none is meant for children to use without an adult.

Prices, sales tax and import duties

• All prices are in US dollars (USD). Each product has one price, shown on its product page, the same in every color.
• Shipping is included in the price; there is no separate delivery charge.
• Our prices include import duties. Import duties and customs fees are paid by us. If a carrier ever asks you for any, contact us and we will cover it in full.
• Our prices do not include sales tax. Where the law of the state you ship to requires us to collect it, sales tax is calculated at payment from your delivery address and shown as its own line before you pay.
• Where we do not collect sales tax, your purchase may still be subject to use tax in your state. Your state’s tax department can tell you more.
• We may change our prices at any time. The price that applies to your order is the one shown at checkout when you place it.

Payment

Online payment on this website is not open yet. Until it opens, no order can be placed or paid and nothing is charged. The rest of this section explains how payment will work once it opens.

• Accepted payment methods: Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• When you are charged: your payment method is charged once, for the total shown at checkout, when you place your order and the payment goes through. Every order is a one-time purchase, with no subscription: nothing renews, and we never charge you again without a further order from you.
• Card details: payments are handled by a third-party payment processor that complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Card details are entered on its payment form and travel encrypted over HTTPS. We never see or store your full card number or security code.
• Your card statement: the charge should appear as RIME SHOP, sometimes followed by a short reference added by the payment processor or your bank. If you do not recognize a charge, please e-mail us first, before you contact your bank, and we will tell you what it is.
• Currency: all charges are in US dollars. If your card was issued outside the United States, your bank may add its own foreign transaction fee. We do not charge one.
• By placing an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.

Orders and order confirmation

• Before you pay, the checkout page shows each item with its color, its quantity and its price, shipping as included, the total, how sales tax is added, the accepted payment methods and when you are charged, the estimated delivery, the delivery area, and how cancellations and returns work, including the food-contact rule, with links to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Materials & Prop 65 page and our Use & Safety page. Please check the colors carefully.
• When you place an order, you ask to buy the products in it. Once your payment goes through, we e-mail you an order confirmation. Your order is accepted, and the contract between us is formed, when we send that e-mail. If it has not reached you soon after you order, check your spam folder, then write to us.
• We may decline or cancel an order before it ships if we suspect fraud, cannot verify the payment, cannot deliver to the address given, have reason to believe the person ordering is under 18, or if a product is not available. If we do, we tell you by e-mail and refund everything you paid within 5 to 10 business days.
• We send order confirmations, shipping and tracking e-mails, delay notices and other messages about your order by e-mail. You agree that these e-mails meet any legal requirement for such communications to be in writing. We send no marketing e-mails.

Pricing and availability errors

• We work to keep our prices, descriptions and availability right. If a price on our website is clearly wrong, for example far below the real price, we may cancel the affected items before they ship, even after we confirmed the order. We tell you by e-mail and refund everything you paid for them.
• If a product or a color turns out to be unavailable after you order, we e-mail you with the expected shipping date, and you choose between waiting and canceling that item for a full refund.

Shipping, delivery and risk of loss

• Shipping is included in the price; there is no separate delivery charge. That stays true whatever the order contains, even if it ships in more than one package.
• We ship your order from our partner warehouse overseas within 1 to 3 business days after it is confirmed. The carrier then takes 7 to 12 business days to deliver it, so orders usually arrive about 8 to 15 business days from order confirmation. Deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii can take a few days longer. Delivery dates are estimates. Every order is tracked.
• If we cannot ship within the time stated, we tell you before that time runs out and give you the choice to accept the delay or cancel for a full refund, as the Federal Trade Commission’s Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule requires. See Shipping delays and your right to cancel.
• Ownership of the products, and the risk of loss, pass to you when the carrier delivers your order to the address you gave us. If a package is lost or damaged before delivery, we reship or refund it.

Full details are in our Shipping & Delivery policy, which is part of these Terms.

Cancellations

You can cancel your order at no cost at any time until it ships. E-mail us at contact@rimecups.com with your order number and “Cancel” in the subject line. What counts is when your e-mail reaches us: if it arrives before your order ships, we cancel the order and refund the full amount you paid, sales tax included, within 5 to 10 business days, even if our reply comes later.

Once your order has shipped, it can no longer be canceled, but you can return eligible items as described below. See Cancellations in our returns policy.

Returns and the food-contact rule

Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a change of mind. Because our cups, bottles, mugs and the food jar touch what you drink and eat, anything that has held a drink or food cannot be returned for a change of mind: please check the color before you fill it for the first time. A product that arrives defective, damaged or wrong, or shows a defect within those 30 days, is replaced or refunded, even if it has been used.

Our cups, bottles, mugs and the food jar are made to hold what you drink and eat. Once one of them has held a drink or food, it cannot go to anyone else as unused, so it cannot come back for a change of mind. Unpacked, looked at and still unused, in its original packaging, it can. This rule applies to a change of mind only: a defective, damaged or wrong item is always replaced or refunded, even if it has been used.

Return shipping for a change of mind is paid by the customer; we send the return address by e-mail, and it may be outside the United States. For a defective, damaged or wrong item, we pay it. Please e-mail us before you send anything: we reply within 2 business days with a return authorization, the return address and instructions. For each returned item, we refund the price you paid for it, plus any sales tax paid on it, to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days after we receive and check the return.

If the color you chose is not the one you want, you can return the unused item under these rules and order the color you want, or write to us first: see Wrong color. Full details are in our Returns, Refunds & Cancellations policy, which is part of these Terms.

Defective, damaged or wrong items

• Within 30 days of delivery: a product that arrives defective, damaged or wrong (another product or another color than the one you ordered), or shows a defect in that time, is replaced or refunded, as you prefer, even if you have used it. A missing item or a missing part, such as a lid, a straw or a spork, is handled the same way. If a replacement is not available, we refund it.
• How to claim: stop using the product and e-mail contact@rimecups.com with your order number, a short description of the problem, and photos or a short video. Photos are usually enough. If we need the item back, we pay for the return shipping.
• Not a defect: normal signs of use, such as small marks on the coating or the steel rim, and damage that happens after delivery, for example when a product is dropped or knocked, or used against the instructions on the product page or on our Use & Safety page, such as in a microwave, an oven, a freezer or a dishwasher.
• After 30 days: if a problem appears later, please write to us anyway. The law of your state may still give you rights, as explained below.

Implied warranties and your rights

We do not give a separate written warranty for a fixed period. Every product you buy from us comes with the implied warranties that the law of your state gives you, such as the implied warranty of merchantability (that a product is fit for the ordinary purpose for which it is used) and, where it applies, the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. We do not disclaim them, and we do not shorten them. Nothing in these Terms or in our policies takes away or reduces any right that consumer protection, product safety or warranty laws give you.

Separately from the products you buy, the website itself and its general content are provided “as is”, to the extent the law allows. We work to keep it accurate and available, and we correct errors when we find them.

Using our products safely

Please follow the instructions on each product page, any instructions in the box, and our Use & Safety page. In particular:

• hot liquids can scald: fill below the top, close the lid fully, open it slowly and pointing away from you, let it cool a little before the first sip, and keep hot drinks out of the reach of children;
• never use a straw or a flip-straw lid with a hot drink: the Daily Tumbler 40, the Flip Tumbler 30, the Snap Tumbler 40 and the Flip Bottle 24 are for cold drinks only, the Shaker Bottle 20 is for cold drinks only, and the Slim Bottle 20 is for cold drinks until the maker confirms in writing whether it can take a hot one;
• never put a product or its lid in the microwave or the oven, on a stove or near a flame, and never put it in the freezer;
• never close a lid on a carbonated drink or on dry ice, and never shake a fizzy drink: pressure can build up and push the lid or the drink out;
• straws, caps, spouts, seals and the strainer are small parts: keep them away from young children;
• clean the lid, the straw and the seals after every use and let every part dry before you put it back together;
• stop using a product that is dented or cracked, or whose base cap is loose or missing, and write to us;
• with the Food Jar 14, start with food that is already hot or cold, open it slowly away from your face, eat hot food within a few hours and refrigerate leftovers;
• in a car, keep the cup in a cup holder and never reach for it or drink from it while driving.

If you have a safety concern about one of our products, stop using it and write to us. See Reporting a problem.

Where we sell

This website sells only for delivery to addresses in the 50 US states and Washington, D.C., and nowhere else. We do not deliver to US territories, such as Puerto Rico or Guam, to APO, FPO or DPO addresses, or to any address outside the United States. If an order reaches us with such an address, we cancel it and refund the full amount you paid. We do not knowingly sell to anyone who plans to export the products. If you take a product out of the United States, you are responsible for following the rules of the country you bring it to.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability where the law does not allow it, such as liability for personal injury or property damage caused by a defective product, or for our gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Nothing in them takes away your rights under the consumer protection and implied warranty laws of your state either.

Subject to that, and only to the extent permitted by law:

• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or relating to these Terms, the website or the products you buy from us; and
• our total liability for any claim relating to an order will not exceed the amount you paid for that order.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. If you live in New Jersey, the limitations and exclusions in this section do not apply to claims under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act or the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act, or to the extent New Jersey law forbids them.

Governing law and courts

These Terms, and any dispute about them or about an order, are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of law rules. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any law of your state of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.

You may bring a claim in any court that has jurisdiction where you live, including small claims court, or in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming. If we ever need to bring a claim against you, we will bring it in the courts of the county where you live.

Resolving a problem

Problems are usually settled quickly by e-mail. If something has gone wrong, write to us at contact@rimecups.com with your order number, what happened and what you would like us to do. We reply within 2 business days.

• Informal resolution first: before either of us starts a court case about these Terms or an order, the one who has the dispute sends the other a short written description of it: you to our e-mail address, we to the e-mail address used for your order. We then both try in good faith to settle it within 30 days after it is received. Any time limit for bringing the claim is paused during those 30 days, to the extent the law allows. Small claims court is open to you at any time.
• Card disputes and chargebacks: if a charge looks wrong, or an order has not arrived, please contact us first. We answer within 2 business days, and a refund from us usually reaches you faster than a card dispute. Nothing in these Terms takes away your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer. If a dispute is opened, we send the payment processor and your card issuer the order details, the delivery tracking and the e-mails between us, so they can decide it.
• Government agencies: nothing in this section stops you from contacting a government agency at any time, such as your state Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission or the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
• No arbitration: these Terms do not require arbitration, and they do not take away your right to go to court or to join a class action.
