Prolonged Reservation Clause

All costs associated with return shall be borne by the other party. As long as we still have any claim against the other party outstanding, the other party is not allowed to make use of the goods delivered, or to enter in any legal transactions, unless we have given our previous written permission.

Orders may only be cancelled in writing within 24 hours of order placement. We will charge a 5% administrative fee. Sale items cannot be cancelled at any time.
Sales of promotional items, stock items, or special orders cannot be cancelled at any time.
Changes to your order
Due to the short lead-time of products, the factory begins production shortly after orders are placed. Therefore we are only able to change your order if manufacturing has not already started
Delivery/Freight Charges
Packing is included in the price. Packing is tested for rigorous motion and transportation but is not guaranteed to protect Products from conditions over which the Seller has no control.
Customers are responsible for checking that all goods have free and easy access to their intended destination. Should delivery prove impossible, we may require the customer to accept the goods and make their own arrangements for delivery. Cancellation of a booked delivery is subject to a cancellation fee equivalent to the standard delivery price, should notice be given later than 24 hours prior to the booked delivery date.
Claims
Risk of loss passes to the Purchaser at time of shipment. Purchaser shall inspect all Products upon receipt for visible damage to the Product as well as the packaging. Damage to the packaging alone does not constitute damage to the Product and will not be considered valid for claim purposes.

Seller will be responsible to file any claims with delivering carrier. All Product and packaging must be retained for inspection.
Held Orders/Storage
If Purchaser requests that an order be held or delayed, prices and terms and conditions in effect at time of order shall apply. Arrangements for holding/storage will be made directly between the Purchaser and the Seller. Any costs associated with the storage including demurrage, preparation for storage, storage charges and handling shall be billable by the carrier and payable by the Purchaser.
Delay/Force Majeure
