You agree to pay all fees incurred in connection with your purchases at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred.

 

If you pay by credit card, your card issuer agreement governs your use of your card and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms of Use to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT GIIN, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Unless you notify GIIN of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you in all respects and for all purposes. If GIIN does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by GIIN or its agents.

 

If payment is made by PayPal®, the user agreement for the PayPal service will govern your use of that service, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms of Use to determine your rights and liabilities as a PayPal member.

Currencies

 

All transactions conducted by or with GIIN, including sales of items shown on the Site, issuance of gift certificates and credit for returned merchandise, are made in US Dollars.

 

Payment made by credit card or PayPal® in a currency other than US Dollars will be converted to US Dollars at the exchange rate determined by your credit card issuer or PayPal. Please consult your credit card issuer agreement or the user agreement for the PayPal service for information regarding the determination of exchange rates by them. These exchange rates may include a "spread," or amount payable to PayPal or the credit card issuer, which may result in the actual price paid being higher than the posted US Dollar price.

 

NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE TO CUSTOMERS RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN CURRENCY RATES.

 

In no event will any GIIN Party be liable for fees or charges payable in connection with currency exchange or for any losses incurred as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS, INFORMATION AND PRICES

 

Product Descriptions

 

GIIN has made every effort to display the colors of products on the Site as accurately as possible. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor GIIN cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.

 

Prices

 

GIIN cannot confirm the price of a product until you order. It is possible that the price for a product may increase or decrease between the time that the product is placed in a "shopping cart" or "shopping bag" and the time the purchase is actually made. Also, despite GIIN's best efforts, a small number of the products on the Site may display incorrect prices. If the price for the product on the Site is incorrect and is actually higher than the price provided at the time of purchase, then, at the sole discretion of GIIN, GIIN may either (a) contact you for instructions before shipping the product or charging you for such product or (b) cancel the order for such product and notify you of such cancellation.

 

GIIN will have the right to cancel any orders for products that have been listed at an incorrect price, rebate or refund, that contain other incorrect information or typographical errors or that are unavailable for any reason. GIIN will have this right regardless of whether the order has been confirmed or your credit card or other payment service has been charged. If your credit card or payment service has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, GIIN will immediately issue a credit to your credit card or payment service in the amount of the charge.

 

ORDER PROCESSING, SHIPMENT, RETURNS, WARRANTIES

 

Order Acceptance

 

The offer and acceptance of orders will be subject to the terms of the third paragraph of these Terms of Use. GIIN may confirm its receipt of your acceptance by sending a confirmation to the e-mail address that you provide.

 

Passage of Title

 

Title to products, and risk of loss of products, passes to you upon delivery to the common carrier selected by GIIN to deliver your order.

 

You are obligated to take delivery of any products you order notwithstanding that the quantity delivered may be less than the quantity ordered, provided that any amount charged to you shall be adjusted to reflect such lower quantity. Any such discrepancy in quantity shall not be deemed a material change of the terms of sale nor a breach or repudiation of GIIN's agreement to sell products to you.

 

Cancellation, Return and Exchange Policies

 

Cancellation, return and exchange policies are available to you via the Site.  Please review such policies to learn how and when you may return or exchange a product purchased via the Site.  You agree that any applicable shipping and/or handling charges are non-refundable.
