CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY MAKING A PURCHASE FROM OR PLACING AN ORDER WITH PCNATION (‘SELLER”) OR SHOPPING ON ANY SELLER WEBSITE ("PCNATION SITE") OR OTHERWISE ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, EXCEPT THAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS POSTED ON A SITE AT THE TIME CUSTOMER PLACES AN ORDER OR SIGNS A STATEMENT OF WORK WILL GOVERN THE ORDER IN QUESTION, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY SELLER AND CUSTOMER.
ANY GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS POSTED ON ANY VENDOR, MANUFACTURER OR SELLER WEBSITE DO NOT CONSTITUTE PART OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SELLER AND CUSTOMER.
PRICING, INVENTORY AND TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS
Despite our best efforts, occasionally Products may be mispriced or descriptions, photos or stock status may be inaccurate. In the aforementioned event, PCNation shall at its sole discretion have the right to refuse or cancel any order for said Products. If Customer has been billed for the purchase and the order is subsequently canceled, Seller will promptly issue a refund of the amount billed via the same form of payment used on the original transaction.
ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT POLICY
Your receipt of any 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. Seller reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We do our best to ship all orders complete but we reserve the right to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Unless other arrangement have been made in writing between Customer and Seller, payment is required before your order will be shipped. Payment may be made by credit card or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) issued in the United States by a U.S. financial institution or any other payment method Seller may choose to accept at our sole discretion. Seller reserves the right to refuse any payment made in any form at our sole discretion. Customer agrees to pay the total purchase price for the Products plus all shipping charges and applicable sales taxes.
TAXES
Federal, state and local sales, use and excise taxes and all similar taxes and duties are solely Customer’s responsibility. Customer may provide Seller a tax exemption certificate, which will be subject to review and acceptance by Seller.
SERVICES
Where services are ordered in a Statement of Work, each Statement of Work hereby incorporates this Agreement and constitutes a separate agreement with respect to the Services performed. In the event of an addition to or a conflict between any term or condition of the Statement of Work and this Agreement, the Agreement will control, except as expressly amended in the applicable Statement of Work by specific reference to this Agreement. Certain services may be provided by third parties. In the case of third party services, the third party shall be considered the contracting party, not Seller, and the third party shall be the party responsible for providing the services to Customer. Customer will look solely to the third party for any loss, claims or damages arising from, or related to, the provision of such third party services. Customer specifically releases Seller from any and all claims arising from or relating to the purchase or provision of any such third parties services.
DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AS TO PRODUCTS SOLD
CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT SELLER IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER AND THE ONLY WARRANTIES OFFERED ARE THOSE OF THE MANUFACTURER, NOT SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS SOLD, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO SELLER ARISING FROM ANY PRODUCTS PURCASHED FROM SELLER SHALL BE THE LESSER OF THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS ORDERED OR $20,000.00. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER, ITS SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RELATED TO ANY PRODUCTS SOLD. THIS IN NO WAY AFFECTS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY ON ANY PRODUCTS SOLD, IF ANY. PRODUCTS OFFERED BY SELLER ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN LIFE SUPPORT, LIFE SUSTAINING, NUCLEAR SYSTEMS OR OTHER APPLICATIONS IN WHICH FAILURE OF SUCH PRODUCTS COULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE OR CATASTROPHIC PROPERTY DAMAGE. USE IN ANY SUCH APPLICATIONS IS AT CUSTOMER’S SOLE RISK. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES THAT IS NOT IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN A STATEMENT OF WORK EXPRESSLY AMENDING SELLER'S WARRANTY.
RETURNS
Seller offers a 30-day return policy (“Return Policy”) on most Products sold. Manufacturer restrictions apply to certain items. The entire Seller Return Policy is incorporated in this Agreement by reference and accessible by link at http://www.pcnation.com/return-policy. Credits issued for returns may only be used for future purchases of Products. Any return credit issued must be used within 12 months of the date the credit was issued. Any credit or portion thereof not used within the 12 month period will automatically expire.
TERMINATION
Customer may cancel any order for Products at no charge up to five (5) business days prior to scheduled shipment upon written notice to Seller, unless such Products are designated on Customer’s quote as special order or the Products have been modified or otherwise reconfigured in accordance with Customer’s specifications. Cancellation shall not relieve Customer’s duty to pay for Products shipped, services performed or expenses incurred by Seller prior to such notice. If an order is cancelled prior to shipment, Customer’s sole remedy and Sellers's sole obligation will be a full refund of the purchase price paid for the Products. Cancellation of orders following shipment must be made in accordance with Seller’s Return Policy.
DELIVERY/TITLE/RISK OF LOSS
Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet requested delivery times but does not guarantee delivery by a stated time and is not responsible for any damages due to delays or the failure to meet a stated delivery schedule. Seller reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle you to cancel other installments. The risk of loss and title for all Products purchased via the PCNation Site pass to the Customer upon delivery of the item to the carrier. For all other orders, title to Products and risk of loss or damage during shipment pass from Seller to Customer upon delivery to the specified destination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to software will remain with the applicable licensor(s), and Customer's rights therein are contained in the license agreement between such licensor(s) and Customer. Customer must notify PCNation in writing of damaged or missing Products within 2 business days of receipt of shipment.
