Termination

We may cancel or terminate your right to use the Site or any part of the Site at any time without notice.

The restrictions imposed on you with respect to material downloaded from the Site, and the disclaimers and limitations of liabilities set forth in these Terms of Service, shall survive.

Payment and Refund Policy

Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order information and details of the items you have ordered.

Prices and Payment Terms. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Website are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and may be set out in your order confirmation email. Subject to our right to increase the cost of subscription-based services (as noted in the Section entitled “Sale of Subscription Services” below), price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges (if applicable) will be added to your purchase total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences. We may offer from time to time promotions on the Website that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms of Sale. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms of Sale, the promotion terms will govern. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion, and payment must be received by us in the manner specified on the Website before our acceptance of an order. If using a credit card, you represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if applicable, regardless of the amount quoted on the Website at the time of your order.

Sale of Goods. The Website may from time to time offer the sale of tangible products (“goods”) to you. We will arrange for shipment of goods to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are a reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the goods to the shipping carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments. Unless a return policy for goods is posted on the Website at the time of your purchase, the sale of all goods on the Website is final and non-returnable. However, to the extent a return policy is posted on the Website at the time of your purchase, we will accept a return of any goods pursuant to such return policy. To return goods, you must email us at [email protected] before shipping your goods. No returns of any type will be accepted without first emailing us as specified above. You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned goods. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Website. If you can show that a good shipped by us was in defective condition before being given over to the carrier for shipment to you, we will accept a return of the defective good and provide a replacement to you if available (or refund your purchase price if no replacement is available).

Sale of Subscription/Membership Services. The Website may from time to time offer optional subscription services (or subscription membership programs) for specified users (“Subscription Services”). By selecting a Subscription Service, you agree to pay us the subscription or usage fees indicated for that service on the Website. Payments for subscription services will be charged on the day your Subscription Service goes into effect and will cover the use of that service for the period indicated. Thereafter, you agree that monthly payments (or other periodic payments as specified on the Website at the time of purchase) will continue to be charged to your credit card on a recurring basis until you cancel your Subscription Service. The amount of the recurring charge will be the then-current subscription fee applicable to the Subscription Service you selected. You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may increase if the applicable subscription fee increases. Subscription Services must be cancelled in writing (by email to [email protected]) at least thirty (30) days prior to your next recurring payment in order to avoid billing of the next Subscription Service recurring payment. Subscription Service fees are not prorated or refundable, unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your Subscription Services. Any such suspension or termination will result in the cancellation of any promotional programs applicable to your Subscription Services. You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in writing (at the email address above) to us within sixty (60) days after such charge, otherwise such dispute is waived by you and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge.
