Your receipt of an 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 the product to you. When your order is approved by your credit card company, we have agreed to sell the product to you and title to the product will be transferred to you at that time. Notwithstanding, we reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept, decline, or limit your order for any reason, whether or not your credit card has been charged.

We do not accept orders from dealers, wholesalers, distributors, exporters, or other customers who intend to resell the products which are offered on our Site.
