1. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Queensland (QLD), Australia, and the Commonwealth of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

2. Technical Specifications & Brand Clarification

We endeavor to present accurate product descriptions, hydrostatic head ratings, breathability scores, and pricing. Independent Technical Gear Brand Notice: Storm Trek is an independent designer and retailer of mountaineering apparel and extreme weather equipment. Storm Trek is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Arc'teryx, The North Face, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Sea to Summit, or Mont Adventure Equipment. Any comparative references are made strictly for technical membrane performance standards, hydrostatic rating clarification, and consumer guidance. Storm Trek reserves the right to correct any inadvertent inaccuracies at any time without prior notice.

3. Technical Garment Care, DWR Maintenance & Alpine Safety Warning

ALPINE WILDERNESS SAFETY WARNING: While Storm Trek garments and packs are engineered to provide exceptional weather barriers in torrential conditions, technical gear is only one component of backcountry safety. Mountaineering, alpine climbing, and remote wilderness trekking involve inherent environmental risks including hypothermia, avalanches, flash flooding, and sudden weather shifts. Users must possess adequate backcountry navigation skills and avalanche training. DWR & Laundry Notice: Never clean technical waterproof membranes with conventional powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as household laundry agents clog microporous pores and strip outer water-repellent (DWR) finishes. Clean technical apparel only with specialized technical wash solutions and reproof periodically with spray-on DWR. Storm Trek is not liable for wilderness accidents, hypothermia resulting from inadequate expedition layering, or membrane degradation caused by improper laundering agents.
