Shopify reserves the right to modify or terminate the Service for any reason, without notice at any time. Shopify reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. In the event of termination, we will make a reasonable effort to provide Store Owners with a copy of their Store Content upon request.
If your store is suspended without warning, you could lose access to your product listings, customer data, and active orders — potentially halting your business and revenue overnight.
Shopify's Terms of Service primarily affect merchants who build stores on the platform, granting Shopify broad rights to suspend accounts, modify pricing, and use merchant content, which can directly disrupt a merchant's business and revenue stream. Merchants bear full liability for their store's compliance with laws, meaning Shopify disclaims responsibility if a merchant's products or practices violate sector-specific regulations. You can review and export your store data at any time through the Shopify admin dashboard to maintain an independent backup of your business information.
