Prices, Availability, Products

All prices listed on the Site are subject to change. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or product information received from our suppliers, we shall have the right, prior to the acceptance of your order to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card or other account charged. If your credit card or other account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card or other account in the amount of the charge.

Please note that the colours of items and products may depend on your monitor and may not be correctly displayed.

The availability of products and other items on the Site may change at any time, without notice.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until we send you shipping information for the order (or the accepted portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy will be one of the following: (a) we will issue a credit to your credit card or other account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card or account has already been charged for the order) or (b) we will not charge you for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided.

Payment Terms

For each product you order through the Sites, you agree to pay the price applicable for the product (including any sales taxes, surcharges and any delivery fees for the delivery service you select) as of the time you submitted the order. Unless we have agreed to an alternate billing arrangement in writing signed by Us, we will automatically bill your credit card or other account submitted, via the Payment Processor, as part of the order process for such price. All prices are non-refundable. Without limiting other remedies, we reserve the right to charge a late fee on all past due payments equivalent to one and a half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance.  You will pay for all collection costs, lawyer fees, and court costs incurred in the collection of all overdue amounts.

We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to process your payments. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor.

Payment Processor & Third-Party Services

We partner with PayPal and other third parties to facilitate payments by buyers. These entities are regulated and authorised to provide payment services in the countries where they operate. We may share your personal or transactional information with those third-party service providers when it's necessary to process payments. By using a third-party service, you may also be subject to an agreement with the third-party. For example, PayPal is a third-party service provided by PayPal Holdings Inc. and is subject to the PayPal User Agreement. If we receive notice that a listing or transaction violates a third party’s service agreement, we may have to take action against your account, such as cancelling a transaction.

Our Rights and Responsibilities

We reserve the right to decline transactions that we believe to be high risk, fraudulent, or in violation of our Terms .

We maintain records associated with transactions processed via the Site and do not pass any secure data, including credit card numbers or bank account information to any third parties. Third parties will only receive shipping information and limited buyer account information necessary to complete the order. Our Privacy Policy further explains how we handle user information.

Shipping and Delivery

We deliver our products via third party service providers. You acknowledge that delivery date estimates are non-binding estimates only and that you have no claim against us for any delays or early deliveries. We reserve the right to make deliveries in instalments, which shall not relieve you from your obligation to accept and pay for remaining deliveries. Our service providers do not telephone prior to delivering packages, and we cannot guarantee the time of delivery. All products are deemed accepted upon our delivery of the product to you or your designated recipient's address. The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier.

Once each item has been packed for shipping, you will receive an email confirming your items are on their way. This email will include a tracking number allowing you to check the status of your order by logging in to your account and checking your order history page.
