1. Product Issues, Availability, and Pricing

 

As our Site contains a large number of products, it is possible that some of the products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced, improperly labeled, or may be unavailable.  Additionally, other errors may be displayed on the product page. Although we try to keep all products on our Site available and on hand, there may be times where such products are unavailable.  Where you have ordered an unavailable product we will contact you and inform you that the product is unavailable, if you wish to continue with your purchase, your credit card will be charged and your order will be shipped to you once the product becomes available.  Please be aware that if you purchase a currently unavailable product there may be a significant delay before you receive such product.

You agree that we are not obligated to provide you any products at an incorrect lower price, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a pricing error.  Please be aware that pricing on any products may change at any time.
