Terms of Sale

Last updated October 14, 2026

These Terms of Sale (the "Terms") apply when you buy KATA products on the English version of our website, in US dollars, for delivery in the United States. They are a contract between you and Faures LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("KATA", "we", "us" or "our"). Please read them before you order. By placing an order, you accept them.

In short: you must be at least 18 years old with a US delivery address, prices are in US dollars with import duties included, sales tax is added at checkout where the law requires it, and shipping is included in the price. Unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, except that a razor or brush that has been used, and blades from an opened wrapper, cannot be returned for a change of mind, for hygiene reasons. An item that arrives damaged or turns out to be defective is replaced or refunded at our cost, even if you have used it. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not take away your right to go to court or to join a class action.

1. Who we are

KATA is a brand of Faures LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States, Wyoming filing number 2026-002104500. Email: goualafabiola06@gmail.com. Full details are on our Seller Information page.

Orders delivered in Japan are sold on our Japanese website, in Japanese yen, under separate Japanese terms (利用規約).

2. Who can buy

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. Our razor and our blades are sharp, and we sell them to adults only. At checkout, you confirm that you are 18 or older.
• If we have reason to believe that an order was placed by someone under 18, we cancel it and refund everything that was paid.
• Orders placed on this website can only be delivered to addresses in all 50 US states and Washington, D.C., as described in our Shipping policy.
• We sell to individual customers, for their own use or as a gift for another adult, not for resale. We may limit 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.

3. Our products

• Product information: each product page shows what is in the box, how to use the product, its specifications and its safety information. Please read it, and our Product Safety page, before you order.
• The safety razor: a metal razor in three pieces (handle, base plate and top cap) that holds one standard double-edge blade at a fixed 30 degree angle, under a closed comb. It comes with five standard double-edge blades and a quick start guide. It takes any standard double-edge blade.
• The shaving brush: synthetic fibers and a knurled metal handle in the same finish as the razor. Shaving soap or cream is not included.
• The razor stand: a faceted metal stand that holds the KATA razor upright, handle down and head up.
• The travel sleeve: a stitched slip-on sleeve that covers the head of the KATA razor in a bag.
• The blades: a box of 100 standard double-edge blades, in 20 wrappers of 5. They fit the KATA razor and any razor that takes standard double-edge blades.
• Your shave: how a shave feels depends on your skin, your beard, your lather, the blade and your technique, so we cannot promise a particular result. Take your time on the first few shaves and follow the instructions.
• Photos of our products: we show our products as faithfully as we can, but colors look different from one screen to another, and a finish can vary slightly from one batch to the next. People and props in our photos are not included.
• For adults: our products are made for adults. None of them is a toy.

4. Prices, sales tax and duties

• All prices are in US dollars (USD). Each product has one price, shown on its product page.
• 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 sales tax on your order, we calculate it from your delivery address and show it at checkout, as its own line, before you pay.
• We do not collect sales tax in every state. Where we do not, your purchase may still be subject to use tax in your state, unless it is exempt. 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.
• If a price or a product description on our website is clearly wrong, we may cancel the affected order before it ships. We will tell you and refund everything you paid.

5. Orders

• Online payment is being set up. Until it opens, no order can be placed and nothing can be charged on this website. These Terms apply to every order placed once it opens.
• Before you pay, the checkout page shows each item, its quantity and price, shipping (included in the price), the total before sales tax, how any sales tax is added, the payment methods, the estimated delivery, and how cancellations and returns work, with links to these Terms and our policies. Please check them carefully.
• When you place an order, you ask to buy the products in it. We email you an order confirmation once your payment is authorized. Your order is accepted, and the contract between us is formed, when we send that email.
• We may decline or cancel an order before it ships if we suspect fraud, cannot verify the payment, cannot deliver to the address given, believe the buyer is under 18, or if a product is no longer available. If we do, we will tell you and refund everything you paid within 5 to 10 business days.

6. Payment

• When online payment opens, you will be able to pay with: Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB), Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• Your payment method is charged when you place your order. Every order is a one-time purchase. We do not sell subscriptions and we never charge you again automatically, including for blades.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider. We never see or store your full card number.
• By placing an order, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.

7. 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. Transit then takes 7 to 12 business days, so most orders arrive about 8 to 15 business days from order confirmation. Delivery dates are estimates.
• Blades travel in their closed wrappers, inside closed rigid packaging, and the razor's starter blades are never fitted in the head for shipping. See our Shipping policy.
• If we cannot ship within the time stated, we will 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.
• 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 replace or refund it.

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

8. Canceling an order

You can cancel your order at any time until it ships by emailing us with your order number. We refund the full amount you paid, including any sales tax, within 5 to 10 business days. Once your order has shipped, it can no longer be canceled, but you can return eligible items under Section 9.

9. Returns and refunds

Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. For hygiene reasons, a razor or brush that has been used and opened blade wrappers cannot be returned. A defective or damaged item is replaced or refunded, even after use. For a change of mind, the item must be unused and complete, with everything that came in its box, and you pay the return shipping. In particular, a razor must come back with its starter blades still in their unopened wrapping, a brush must never have been wet, and every wrapper in a box of blades must still be sealed. For an item that is defective, damaged or wrong, we pay the return shipping. To return an item, email us first: we send you the return address and instructions, including how to pack anything sharp. Refunds go to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days after we receive the return. Full details are in our Returns & Refunds policy, which is part of these Terms.

10. Limited warranty: defective, damaged or wrong items

This is a limited warranty. It applies to every product you buy from us on this website, for you as the buyer.

• What it covers: an item that arrives damaged; an item with a defect in materials or workmanship, for example a razor whose handle does not screw tight or whose cap does not hold the blade firmly and evenly, a head that arrives bent, a brush whose knot comes loose from the handle, a stand that is cracked, a sleeve whose stitching comes undone in normal use, or blades that are bent, chipped or rusty in a wrapper you have just opened; a missing part; and an item that is not what you ordered.
• How long: this limited warranty covers problems you report to us within 30 days of delivery. Please contact us as soon as you notice a problem. It covers you even if you have already used the item, and the hygiene rule for change-of-mind returns does not apply to it.
• What we do: we send you a replacement, subject to availability, or give you a full refund of the item, as you prefer. If we need the item back, we pay for the return shipping. For a razor or brush you have used, photos are often enough and we may not ask for it back.
• What it does not cover: blades getting dull with use, since a blade is meant to be replaced after a few shaves; normal wear; scratches or damage that happen after delivery, for example from a drop; marks caused by abrasive pads, harsh cleaning products or a dishwasher; damage caused by using a product against its instructions; and a product that has been modified.
• How to claim: email goualafabiola06@gmail.com with your order number, a short description of the problem, and photos or a short video of the item, the packaging and the shipping label. We reply within 2 business days. The warrantor is Faures LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. It is in addition to the implied warranties described in Section 11, and it does not shorten them. If a problem appears more than 30 days after delivery, please contact us anyway: the implied warranties of your state may still apply.

11. Implied warranties

Every product you buy from us comes with the implied warranties that the law of your state gives you and that cannot be excluded, such as the implied warranty of merchantability (that a product is fit for the ordinary purpose for which it is used). We do not disclaim them and we do not shorten how long they last. Nothing in these Terms takes away any warranty right that the law gives 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.

12. Using sharp products safely

Double-edge blades are very sharp, on both edges. Please follow the quick start guide and our Product Safety page. In particular:

• hold blades by their short ends only, and change a blade with the razor taken apart, holding the cap by its sides;
• keep the razor, the blades and used blades out of reach of children;
• do not share your razor with anyone, for hygiene;
• do not shave over broken, cut or irritated skin, and stop if your skin reacts;
• put used blades in a blade bank or a closed metal container, never loose in the trash or the recycling bin;
• when you fly from a US airport, pack blades in your checked baggage: a safety razor may go in your carry-on bag only without its blade. See Traveling with your razor.

13. Intellectual property

• The KATA name and logo, the website design, and its text, photos and graphics belong to Faures LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.
• You may view and print pages of this website for your personal use. Please do not copy, reproduce, sell or reuse our content for commercial purposes without our written permission.
• Buying a product does not give you any right to use the KATA name or logo.

14. 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, this section applies only to the extent permitted by New Jersey law.

15. Governing law and where claims are heard

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 courts of Sheridan County, Wyoming. If we ever need to bring a claim against you, we will bring it in the courts of the county where you live.

16. Resolving a problem

Most problems are settled quickly by email. If something has gone wrong, write to us at goualafabiola06@gmail.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 a dispute relating to these Terms or an order, the one who has the dispute sends the other a short written description of it: you to our email address, we to the email address used for your order. We then both try in good faith to settle it for 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. This step does not apply to small claims court, which you can use at any time.
• Government agencies: nothing in this section stops you from contacting a government agency at any time, such as your state Attorney General or the Federal Trade Commission.
• No arbitration and no class action waiver: these Terms do not require arbitration. If we cannot settle a dispute, either of us may go to court as described in Section 15, and nothing in these Terms takes away your right to bring or join a class action.
• Payment disputes: nothing in these Terms limits any right you have with your card issuer or payment provider, such as the right to dispute a charge.

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as storms, floods, fires, carrier disruptions, changes in the rules for shipping sharp items, or customs delays. Even then, we will tell you about any shipping delay and give you the choice to cancel for a full refund, as described in Section 7.
