These "Terms & Conditions" govern your purchase of any product or service offered by Saint O'Niell Alchemy ("Saint O'Niell", "SOA", "Us" or "We) through saintoniell.com (the "website" or "Site") or by telephone, email or by visit to our premises (unless other terms of sale are expressly agreed to between the parties in writing). Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully as they contain important information about your rights and obligations as well as limitations and exclusions that may apply to you. By placing an order, you acknowledge that you have read, accepted and agreed to be bound by these Terms & Conditions without limitations or qualifications of any sort. These Terms & Conditions are subject to modification without prior written notice at any time at our sole discretion. You are advised to periodically review these Terms & Conidtions to ensure you remain up-to-date on said changes.
I. ORDERS
Unless you and Saint O'Niell Alchemy have executed a separate written sales agreement, then, unless such separate agreement is referenced in your order, these Terms & Conditions will govern our sale of products and/or services to you, and by placing an order with us you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions with regard to that order. The preprinted terms of any documents that you may submit to us, such as a purchase order, in conjunction with an order for products will not alter, change or add to these terms regardless of how we acknowledge or accept your order and regardless of the fact that such preprinted terms may contain language that they supersede these Terms & Conditions. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and, once accepted, an order cannot be cancelled, modified or rescheduled by you without our consent. We reserve the right to cancel or reject any order, or to limit the size of any order, at any time in our sole discretion.
II. AVAILABILITY
Availability of our products and/or services is subject to change without notice. If a product is not in stock when you place your order, we will do our best to advise you when the product will be available. Saint O'Niell Alchemy shall not be liable for any claims or damages arising in connection with products that are out of stock or otherwise unavailable. Saint O'Niell Alchemy reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any product or service at any time without notice to you or any other third party.
III. PRICES
Prices shall be the published prices for our products or as otherwise quoted by us to you in writing. Unless otherwise specifed by us, any written or electronic price quotes we may provide from time to time are valid only for the period of time specified in such quote. We reserve the right to increase the price for any product without notice to you; provided that we will not increase prices for products which have been previously ordered by you but not yet shipped. We are not responsible for any errors on the website. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, photographic or technical error or error in pricing information received from our suppliers or manufacturers, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that product listed at the incorrect price.
IV. NO MINIMUM ORDER (for Retail purchases)
We do not require a minimum dollar amount for retail orders. The minimum quantity required may vary between products. Promotions may require minimum dollar amounts or purchase quantities to qualify for promotional pricing or products.
V. TAX INFORMATION
All prices are net of any sales, use, excise, value added and similar taxes imposed by any governmental authority regardless of how denominated, and any international shipping charges, broker's fees, consular fees and customs duties, which shall be your sole responsibility. You shall pay all such taxes or charges. In the event (i) we are required to pay any taxes or other charges for which you are responsible, you shall promptly repay these amounts to us immediately upon receipt of our invoice, or (ii) we ship any product(s) internationally which have been pre-paid, we have the right to cause such product(s) to be returned or otherwise disposed of in the event you fail to pay any customs or duties required to be paid in accordance with the agreed-upon shipment terms.
VI. TAX EXEMPTION
If you or your organization is exempt from the payment of sales tax, you must submit the proper documentation to us prior to placing your order to avoid collection of tax. We are unable to refund sales tax assessed on orders placed before your tax exemption documentation is processed.
Please allow 3-5 business days for processing your tax exemption paperwork. Upon processing your request, you will receive an email notification confirming future purchases will automatically be processed as exempt from sales tax.
While Saint O'Niell Alchemy may not currently collect sales or use tax in your state, your purchase is not necessarily exempt from sales or use tax merely because it was purchased via. the internet. Some states require purchasers in that state to file a sales and/or use tax return each year reporting all non-taxed purchases and to pay tax on those purchases. Many states require that a reseller pay tax on purchases made for consumption rather than resale. Any information about how your state collects taxes should be found on your state's Department of Revenue website.
VII. PAYMENT TERMS
We accept a variety of payment options including but not limited to Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Apple Pay, Diner's Club, Venmo, Sizzle, AfterPay and ShopPay. Your credit card, debit card or other aforementioned payment method will be charged at the time any order is placed. You agree to address any and all product and transaction claims solely with us and not to initiate, under any set of circumstances, charge refusals or charge-backs with credit card issuers and you agree to indemnify us for any expenses or damages we may suffer on account of the initiation by you of any such charge refusal or charge-back.
VIII. SECURITY WHEN ORDERING
We understand that online credit card security is of great concern to our customers. When you enter your credit card number and billing information into our system, it is immediately and securely sent to our bank for verification. We never store our customers' credit card numbers in our system. In fact, we never see them. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and Industry Standard Firewalls work together to ensure your privacy and to assist in protecting your personal data. We use SSL Technology to provide you with the safest, most secure shopping experience possible. SSL technology enables encryption (scrambling) of sensitive information during your online transactions. All forms requiring payment or personal information, within our website, are secured with SSL technology so your data stays safe and out of malicious hands. Our servers are protected by secure firewalls designed to keep information secure and inaccessible by other Internet users.
If you opt to save your credit card details at checkout, the information is encrypted and stored through a PCI DSS compliant tokenization system that replaces your credit card number with a secure identifier, i.e., a "token", that can only be used on www.saintoniell.com. This adds several layers of security. Your credit card details will be available when you return to shop with us, adding convenience while remaining secure.
IX. SHIPPING
Order characteristics such as size, weight and distance will determine the method for delivering your order. Orders will ship via. courier, parcel services or motor freight as selected by Customer at the time the order is placed. Shipping fees are calculated per order and displayed to Customer prior to order completion and collection of payment. All shipping fees are charged at the time the order is placed and are considered final.
If a shipping rate is quoted incorrectly due to typographical error or error in pricing information, we shall have the right to refuse, adjust or cancel the applicable order whether or not the order has been confirmed or whether or not payment has been remitted. We shall make every reasonable effort to meet your specified delivery date, but in no case shall we be liable to you if we are unable to meet such date.
It is your responsibility to provide accurate contact and shipping information. Additional shipping charges may apply if we or the shipper is unable to contact you, or if you are not available to receive the shipped products, or if products are redirected at your request. In the event the delivery address is not entered correctly, we or the motor freight carrier will bill you directly for any additional shipping, handling or other fees.
Saint O'Niell Alchemy will not be held liable for shipments directed to an address other than the address on the original order.
Saint O'Niell Alchemy does not prepare orders selected for pick up for shipping or transport via. a third party. Saint O'Niell Alchemy reserves the right to refuse delivery to a common carrier or other third party attempting to pick up an order on behalf of Customer.
Saint O'Niell Alchemy does not support the use of freight forwarding services. Customers engage freight forwarders at their own risk. Saint O'Niell Alchemy will not complete or sign any documentation from freight forwarding companies or forwarding agents.
X. RETURNS and REFUNDS
