STOCK AVAILABILITY AND SALES FULFILLMENT

Products are for sale within the limits of available stock. If Reseller is out of stock on a Product, or runs out of stock on a Product, Reseller may cancel any pending orders for such Product, and refuse to accept new orders for such Product, at Reseller’s sole discretion.

APPLICATION

Your order is a binding offer to the Reseller to purchase the Product(s) in the order. Upon placing an order, the Website will display an ensuing and immediate confirmation message followed by a confirmation email. Such automatic confirmation does not constitute an acceptance by the Reseller of your order, but a notice of acknowledgement. The Reseller’s acceptance of your order shall occur, and a contract shall form only once the Reseller approves the order as follows: we only accept your offer, and conclude the contract of sale for a Product that you ordered, when we dispatch the Product to you and send e-mail confirmation to you that we’ve dispatched the Product to you (the “Fulfillment Confirmation Email”). Reseller may cancel any pending orders prior to shipment for any reason at Reseller’s sole discretion. If an order consists of more than one Product, Reseller may cancel any portion of the order that Reseller has not yet shipped to you at any time prior to shipment of that portion of the order.

If your order is dispatched in more than one package, you may receive a separate dispatch confirmation email for each package, and each Fulfillment Confirmation E-mail and corresponding dispatch will conclude a separate contract of sale between us for the Product(s) specified in that Fulfillment Confirmation Email.

ORDERS AND USE OF THE SERVICES

All orders shall be placed exclusively via the Internet on the Website.

Automatic order confirmation errors may occur. Please check the automatic order confirmation for errors and inform us immediately of any discrepancies.

The Reseller may cancel or refuse any order from a Customer with whom a previous order resulted in a dispute or litigation, or from a Customer that previously disputed a charge.

You consent to receive sales invoices electronically. Electronic invoices may be made available in your Account on the Site. If you do not have an Account and did not print your invoice upon receiving your Fulfillment Confirmation Email, or for further information about electronic invoices and instructions on how to receive a paper copy of an invoice, please contact Reseller’s customer support.

DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL GOODS

Reseller shall ship your order to the address you provide during the ordering process.

Any estimated delivery date or shipping time indicated on the Website is strictly informational and does not constitute a binding obligation – delivery dates and shipping times may vary. The Reseller shall not be responsible for delayed delivery or the loss of or damage to a package or its contents by postal services or couriers.

It is your responsibility to verify the good condition of any package(s) and their contents upon receipt. In the event a package or content is not in conformity with your order, you must promptly write a full description of the content and disconformities on the delivery slip and send Reseller a letter containing an acknowledgement of receipt and disconformities within three (3) days. Please contact customer service for more information about this process.

PAYMENT

You may pay for an order with only the payment methods displayed on the Website at the time of purchase. Reseller shall not accept payment by any other method. Reseller may change the acceptable payment methods at any time (up to and including the date that Reseller ships the Product) at Reseller’s sole discretion.

The Reseller uses SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for your transactions. Your banking information is not stored by the Reseller. Reseller does not have access to private banking details and credit history at any point. To prevent abuses and fraud, the Reseller stores only your address and the transaction time and date. This data remains strictly confidential.

Reseller and/or Merchant may take any actions and disclose any information or transaction data they deem helpful or necessary to investigate, respond to, detect, or prevent any actual, attempted, or potential fraud, deception, or illegal activities, regardless of scope. For example, Reseller and/or Merchant may communicate or cooperate with law enforcement or other third parties and they may disclose information and transaction data related to the relevant transactions, sales, or communications to law enforcement or other third parties. Reseller and/or Merchant may also provide information to third parties for fraud detection and prevention analysis and services.

When you provide payment information to the Reseller or to one of its payment service providers, you affirm that you are the authorized user of the card, PIN, key, or account associated with that payment, and you authorize the Reseller to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the chosen third-party payment service provider for any purchases or fees chargeable to your account. The Reseller may require you to provide your address or other information

If your use of the Store or your purchases are subject to any type of use or sales tax, then the Reseller may charge you for those taxes. You shall remain solely responsible for any other taxes you may owe in any jurisdiction.

You shall honestly provide your place of residence upon request, and you shall not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on Product content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your territory, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Reseller may terminate your Account.

OWNERSHIP RIGHTS

If applicable, the ownership of the Products shall be transferred to you when full payment is received, and we deliver the Products to you. However, any risk of loss, theft, or destruction, in the period between the delivery and the transfer of ownership, shall be borne by you. Should you not honor your payment obligations for any reason whatsoever, the Reseller shall be entitled to demand that the delivered merchandise be returned immediately, at your own cost, risk, and peril.

APPLICABLE LAW – COMPETENT JURISDICTION

You agree that these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have been made and executed in the State of Illinois, and any dispute arising hereunder (including any dispute between you and the Merchant) shall be resolved in accordance with the law of Illinois, notwithstanding Illinois’ conflict of laws principles. Subject to Dispute Resolution by Arbitration below, you agree that any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against the Reseller shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in the federal or state courts of Cook County, Illinois, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. In any dispute arising under these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Dispute Resolution by Arbitration

Most user concerns can be resolved by use of our customer support. Customers must contact customer support before bringing any legal claims or arbitration demands against any Sales Entity. If we are unable to resolve your concerns and a dispute remains between you and us, this section explains how the parties agree to resolve it.

YOU AND THE RESELLER AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (AND BETWEEN YOU AND MERCHANT OR MERCHANT’S AFFILIATES), IN INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION. THAT INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (i) ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US; (ii) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (iii) YOUR USE OF THE STORE, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR THE RESELLER SOFTWARE. IT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, UNFAIR COMPETITION, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

However, this Section does not apply to the following types of claims or disputes, which you or the Reseller may bring in any court with jurisdiction: (i) claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including such claims seeking injunctive relief; and (ii) claims related to or arising from any alleged unauthorized use, piracy, or theft.

This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you.

Arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND THE RESELLER ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.

You and the Reseller agree to make reasonable efforts, in good faith, to informally resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other a written notice that describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the relief sought. If you and the Reseller do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim or dispute within 30 days after the notice is received, you or the Reseller may commence arbitration. Written notice to the Reseller must be sent via postal mail.

The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Section. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by this Agreement, both of which are available at http://www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.

The AAA will administer the arbitration. It may be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

YOU (INCLUDING FOR CLAIMS AGAINST ANY SALES ENTITIES) AND THE RESELLER AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION, EVEN IF AAA’s PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW ONE. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. You (including for claims against any Sales Entity) and the Reseller also agree not to seek to combine any action or arbitration with any other action or arbitration without the consent of all parties to this Agreement (and the Sales Entity, if applicable) and all other actions or arbitrations.

If the agreement in this section not to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration should be found illegal or unenforceable, you and the Reseller agree that it shall not be severable, that this entire section shall be unenforceable, and any claim or dispute would be resolved in court and not in collective arbitration.

Notwithstanding this Section, you have the right to litigate any dispute against Reseller in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute, are satisfied.

These terms shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions of this section alone, such provisions will not apply to you.

INFRINGEMENT NOTICE

If you believe that your rights are being infringed, please contact us. We respond expeditiously to rights owners and their agents to communicate concerns about any alleged infringement.

Upon receipt of your infringement notice we may take certain actions, including removing information or an item, all of which are taken without any admission as to liability and without prejudice to any rights, remedies or defenses, for all of which we hold an unmitigated discretion to execute.

Furthermore, by submitting an infringement notice, you grant the Sales Entities the right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, and display its content throughout the world in any media. This includes forwarding your infringement notice to the parties involved in the provision of the allegedly infringing content. You agree to indemnify the Sales Entities for all claims brought by a third party against the Sales Entities arising out of or in connection with the submission of your infringement notice.

CUSTOMS

You agree to comply with all applicable import/export laws and regulations. You agree not to export the Product or allow use of your Account by individuals of situated in a country subject to an embargo or prohibition of any form from the US government, the European Union, or NATO. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country.

When ordering products from the Reseller for delivery outside of the United States of America you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, please note that you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the products. Your privacy is important to us and we would like our international customers to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

MISC.

Merchant, Merchant’s affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement for the purpose of enforcing any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, Merchant and Reseller reserve the right, without any limitation, to involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any matters at any time without additional notice to you.

If you breach these Terms and Conditions of Sale and we take no action, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Except as otherwise expressly stipulated in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, in the event that any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Reseller’s Privacy Policy constitute and contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements.
