Payment Terms
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. We are a very small business and therefore cannot accept
returns or exchanges. If there are special conditions, such as death, severe illness, natural disaster, etc., you may contact us with the details of your situation. This is not a guarantee of agreement to accept a return or exchange. Any decision made as a result of your request will be final.
By purchasing online on the Site, you are agreeing to all of the Terms of Use of the Owners. The completion of a purchase online is considered a contract between the buyer and the Owners. The buyer takes full responsibility for completing timely payment to the Owners. In return, the Owners agree to ship the product per the buyer’s instructions to the best of their ability and in a reasonable period of time.
Buyer warrants that any form of payment (e.g., credit card, etc.) used for purchasing
on the Site rightfully belongs to him/her or that explicit consent has been given by the cardholder to use that form of payment. Buyer accepts full responsibility for honoring payment for the purchase. The Owners accept no liability or fault for fulfilling a purchase made fraudulently by the actions of the buyer.
Risk of Loss
The risk of loss for all items purchased from this website passes to the buyer upon delivery of the item to the shipping carrier. If the package is missing or severely delayed after 3 weeks, and when tracking information is available, the Owners will make every effort to locate your package and/or provide you with the tracking number for your follow-up. However, the Owners assume no liability for loss if package retrieval or damage occurs.
