Terms of Service
Overview
Welcome to Good South. This website is operated by Good South Company.
Throughout this site, the terms “Good South,” “Good South Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Good South Company, including its website, online store, products, services, content, recipes, tools, and related offerings.
Good South Company operates this website and online store to provide customers with access to our Southern cooking bases, seasonings, pantry products, apparel, merchandise, recipes, content, and related services collectively referred to as the “Services.”
Our store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced here, describe your rights and responsibilities when you use our Services. Please read these Terms carefully. They include important information about your legal rights, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, product policies, and food-related notices.
By visiting, browsing, purchasing from, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you should not access or use our Services.

You agree that all information you provide is accurate, current, complete, and that you have the right to provide it.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.
Section 2 — Our Products
Good South Company makes every effort to display and describe our products accurately, including product names, descriptions, ingredients, images, pricing, claims, packaging, serving suggestions, and availability.
However, product appearance, color, texture, label details, packaging, and serving results may vary. Product images, lifestyle photos, recipe photos, and serving suggestions are for illustrative purposes only. Food shown with Good South products may include additional ingredients not included with purchase.
Product formulas, packaging, labels, ingredients, nutrition facts, claims, serving sizes, prices, and availability may change from time to time without notice.
Always read the physical product label before consuming or using any Good South product. In the event of any difference between website content and the physical product label, the product label should be treated as the most accurate source of information.
We reserve the right to discontinue, limit, update, or change any product at any time and may limit quantities available to any person, household, geographic region, or jurisdiction.
Section 3 — Food Allergy, Ingredient & Dietary Notice
Good South products may contain, or may be produced in facilities that handle, common allergens or other ingredients that may cause sensitivities in certain individuals.
Customers with food allergies, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or ingredient sensitivities should carefully review the product label before use. If you have a severe allergy, medical condition, or health concern, consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider before consuming any product.
We do our best to provide transparent ingredient information, but we cannot guarantee that any product is completely free from cross-contact unless expressly stated on the physical product label.
Dietary references on this website, including terms such as keto, gluten-free, clean-label, no junk, low-carb, or similar descriptions, are provided for general informational and marketing purposes only. These statements are not medical advice.
Good South products are food products. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Once an order is accepted, we may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests, address changes, or edits.
If we do not accept, change, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, shipping address, or phone number provided at the time of purchase.
