CAN I USE THE THEME LIKE A CATALOG AND TURN OFF THE CART FEATURE?

You can use the theme like a corporate theme, using the portfolio pages or the blog pages and also use the theme like a catalog.

If you install Woo Commerce, in the theme options panel you can easily turn off the cart on the header, the add to cart buttons and so on. In each product page you can turn on the "product enquiry" form if you want that the user have to contact you to know price or details for the product!
