PART TWO

Terms for Making Purchases

PART TWO APPLIES IN ADDITION TO PART ONE IF YOU MAKE PURCHASE THROUGH THE WEBSITE. All orders are subject to the terms set forth in this Part Two. Submission of an order shall constitute, but is not the sole form of, your acceptance of such terms.

Pricing:

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars; taxes, shipping and handling charges are additional. All prices are subject to change without notice. Any price change will not affect an order you have already placed. However, if you place items in your shopping cart and return at a later time to place your order, prices of items in your online shopping cart may have changed since you added them to your cart, so please check current pricing before placing your order.

Availability:

All items are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. Note that some items may be unavailable even if our Website indicates that they are in-stock. Adding an item to your cart and placing an order for it does not guarantee the availability of that item. If an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you via e-mail that your item has been backordered, and we will ship it to you when it is available.  We will not charge your payment card until the backordered item ships to the designated delivery address. If the item has been discontinued, we will cancel the item from your order and notify you via e-mail. You may cancel a backordered item at any time before it prepared for shipment.

Errors:

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on the Website; however, we do not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the Website, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or service or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel or return your order and obtain a refund (See our Returns & Exchanges Policy below)

Shipping & Handling; No Export by You:

When we ship to you or per your directions, you agree to pay the shipping and any handling charges shown on the Website when your order is placed. We reserve the right to change such charges from time to time and without notice, so please check all charges before placing an order. You also agree to pay all customs duties, VAT, or other import fees and taxes outside of the U.S. Such duties, fees, and taxes may be invoiced to you separately after your order has shipped. Such duties, fees and taxes may be invoiced to you separately after your order has shipped. Any shipping or handling charges may or may not reflect actual costs. Any shipping times shown on the Website are an estimate only – actual delivery dates may vary. You may not obtain or direct shipment of product for export.

Payment Method:

If the credit card or other payment method you use cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not otherwise acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. You must resolve any problem we encounter with your method of payment in order to proceed with your order.

Returns & Refunds/Exchanges & Cancellation Policy:

To be eligible for return or exchange, a product must be returned to us unopened and postmarked within thirty (30) days of the date we shipped the product to you and comply with all the requirements below. Unopened items in new condition may be exchanged or returned for store credit or a refund. Incorrect, damaged, or defective items may be exchanged for a replacement or returned for store credit or a refund.  Incorrect, damaged or defective items must be reported to AGAE within 72 hours of receipt. Photos or other evidence of damage may be required. Shipping charges for your original order are non-refundable. Shipping charges for return of your item will be reimbursed by us only if your return or exchange is due to an error made by us – for example, if we shipped you an incorrect item. If your return or exchange is not due to our error, you will be responsible for return shipping charges. Refunds will be credited to the same payment method used for your original order or, in our sole discretion, another method.

Cancellations:

Please call Customer Service if you would like to cancel your order. Cancellation is not guaranteed. If your order has already been shipped or prepared for shipment, we will be unable to cancel your order.
