5. CONTENT OF SITE AND PRODUCTS

While we try to maintain the accuracy of the Site, we are not responsible if information on the Site is not accurate, complete or current. Any reliance on the material on this Site is at your own risk. Prices and descriptions for our products and services are subject to change without notice. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site or the Services.

Information on the Site regarding our products and services may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product  and services descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information on the Site is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). We may provide updates (including automatic updates) for certain Services as and when we see fit.

In addition, we have no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality of any Service.

 

We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information on the Site, including, without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law. No specified update to the Site should be taken to indicate that all the information on the Site has been modified or updated.

Products available through the Site are subject to our Return Policy. Certain products may be available in limited quantities. Although we have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear on the Site, we cannot guarantee that your device or computer monitor’s display of any color will be accurate. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products that we offer and to discontinue any product at any time.

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us and, in our sole discretion, may limit or cancel quantities purchased per person or per order. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address or phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by unauthorized dealers, resellers, or distributors.

When you place an order we will send a confirmation email to the address you have provided. If you are using your workplace email address, be aware that many corporations use spam filters to disqualify incoming automated emails, which could hamper delivery of our confirmation email to you or send it to junk mail.

The “confirmation” stage sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from us. Acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between us will occur upon our dispatch to you of the products ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it. Due to the close time frame between order and shipment, it is difficult to make changes once your order has been placed. However, if you contact us within an hour of placing your order and we will attempt to facilitate a change.

Sales Tax and similar taxes, such as value added tax (“VAT”), are calculated using local and national rates depending on where you are located. Where VAT is applicable, you will be charged at the local rate and it will be included in the product price.

W reserves the right to supplement the list of acceptable forms of payment. We may require credit cards and debit cards to be issued by an institution in the jurisdiction in which you are located, and those forms of payment must be linked to a billing address in the same jurisdiction. For most jurisdictions, you must ensure that the billing address on file with the credit or debit card-issuing bank is the same billing address you enter when ordering. We do not accept personal checks, money orders or cash payments online.

If you are experiencing problems with payment, please contact our customer service team-a member of our team will be happy to assist you.

There are some locations that we cannot ship to, and we do not ship to post office boxes, so please confirm that we can deliver to you before placing your order. The estimated delivery time and shipping costs for each order will be presented at checkout. While we make every effort to deliver goods within the estimated timelines, delays occasionally occur. We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver goods within estimated timelines. We reserves the right to require goods to be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or over upon delivery. It is not always possible for customers in one jurisdiction to purchase from us in another jurisdiction.

You will generally receive a tracking number via email once your package has been shipped.  Please allow seven to ten business days between placing your order and using the tracking tool.  If you tracked your order and received the message that your order is “in transit”, this simply means that your order is being processed for shipment, or that the tracking information has not yet been updated with the shipping carrier. It typically takes two to four business days for the carrier to receive our tracking information. We strive to ship all items in an order together, but we reserve the right to deliver your products in separate shipments if one or more items are unavailable at the time of initial shipment. In the event that we split your order into more than one shipment, you will not be charged separate shipping costs for each shipment. Further, each shipment will have a confirmation/tracking email. If we experience an issue fulfilling one part of your order, that will not serve as a basis for canceling any of the other items included in that order. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by us, terms are FOB Shipping Point.  Any orders that are delivered to you will become your property at the time that you receive them, provided that we have received full payment for the order.
