1. Introduction to Netflix.shop
Netflix.shop is a destination that allows consumers to browse and purchase products related to the movies and series streamed on the Netflix service. It serves as a one-stop online shop where users can explore a wide range of merchandise and learn more about experiences or services offered by Netflix. The Shop is built on a Shopify platform and is operated by Netflix CPX, LLC and its affiliated entities for US customers, while Global-e handles transactions outside the United States.
2. User Account
Creating a user account on Netflix.shop enhances your shopping and checkout experience. It enables Netflix to recognize and retain your preferences, allowing you to manage and change your account settings. When creating and using your user account, it is important to provide accurate and up-to-date information. If any information is entered incorrectly, you can reach out to Customer Service for assistance.
It’s worth noting that while you may have a separate account for Netflix.com, your account for Netflix.shop does not need to be the same. Additionally, Netflix sells products for children but only to adults who can purchase with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under 18, you must involve a parent or legal guardian in your use of the Shop.
3. Using the Netflix Shop
When using the Netflix Shop, it’s essential to be aware of certain guidelines and restrictions. While the Shop strives to be available 24/7, there may be instances of downtime due to server or technical issues. Netflix is not liable if the Shop is temporarily unavailable. Harassment, impersonation, or the distribution of objectionable content through the Shop is strictly prohibited.
The Shop aims to provide accurate product and experience descriptions, but it does not warrant that all content is error-free. If a product or service does not meet your expectations, you may return it in unused condition. In the event of a mistaken listing with an incorrect price, Netflix reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders. It’s important to review the terms and conditions of Marketplace partners who may offer products or services through the Shop.
4. Product Descriptions
Netflix.shop strives to provide accurate and detailed product and experience descriptions. While efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of these descriptions, they may not always be entirely reliable or error-free.

For experiences, any complaints or consumer issues can be addressed by contacting Netflix Customer Service.
In cases where a product is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price, Netflix reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders. If your credit card has already been charged, a refund will be issued for the amount of the incorrect price. For products or services offered through Marketplace partners, the partners themselves are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.
