Terms of use

About this website

This website is operated by Gigi Leather, based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It presents our brand, collections, workshop, stores, care guidance, and partnership information.

The site is not an online store. There is no shopping cart, checkout, or payment processing here. Retail purchases are made in our stores. Wholesale and private-label arrangements are discussed through inquiry and follow-up correspondence — not completed as self-serve orders on this site.

Informational content

Product descriptions, images, dimensions, materials, availability notes, and capability statements are provided for information. Workshop capacity, lead times, and specifications for wholesale or private-label work are confirmed in writing for each engagement.

We may update or remove content at any time without notice. Catalogues and pages may show styles that are limited, seasonal, or no longer available in store.

Inquiries and messages

When you submit a contact message or wholesale inquiry, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to send it (for example, on behalf of your company).

Submitting a form does not create a contract of sale, manufacturing agreement, or exclusive distribution right. Any commercial terms are set out only in a separate written agreement between you and Gigi Leather.

We may decline or ignore submissions that appear fraudulent, abusive, or automated.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site: do not attempt to disrupt or probe our systems, scrape content in a way that harms the service, submit malware, impersonate others, or use the forms to send spam or unlawful content.

We may suspend access to forms or other features if we reasonably believe these terms are being violated.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, the Gigi Leather name, logos, product designs, photographs, copy, and site design are owned by Gigi Leather or used under licence. You may view and share links to public pages for personal or ordinary business evaluation. You may not copy, republish, or commercially reuse our content or trade dress without prior written permission.

Third-party links and maps

The site may link to third-party services such as map providers, messaging apps, or social networks. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content or policies.

Disclaimer

The site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of uninterrupted access, error-free content, or fitness for a particular commercial purpose based solely on website materials.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gigi Leather is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Privacy

How we handle personal information is described in our Privacy policy. By using the contact or inquiry forms you also acknowledge that policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ethiopia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Addis Ababa have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these terms or your use of the site, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country provide otherwise.

Changes

We may revise these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Contact

Questions about these terms: use the Contact page on this website, or the wholesale email in the site footer for partnership-related questions.
