AUDIO-TECHNICA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice. AUDIO-TECHNICA will post any changes to these Terms of Use on the Site. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of our Site thereafter. Your continued use of our Site following the posting of revised Terms and Conditions of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our Terms of Use, as they are binding on you. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change.
These Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect at all times while you use the Site.
WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OF USE OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SITE WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
Our Site is offered and available to users who are eighteen (“18”) years of age or older or such higher age of majority in accordance with the applicable law or your state or country of residence, (the “Age of Majority”), and reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions, and additional territories and countries in the Americas. You may not use our Site if you are under the Age of Majority. The policy of AUDIO-TECHNICA, as the operator of the Site, is to NOT knowingly collect any personal information from persons under the Age of Majority, including “individually identifiable information,” as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If you are younger than the Age of Majority, you may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using our Site, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with AUDIO-TECHNICA and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you should leave the Site without providing any information about yourself. By accessing or using the Site, you represent and warrant to us that you are either a legal adult or, if under the Age of Majority, have obtained proper consent from a parent or legal guardian to your use of the Site and to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. By using the Site and any services connected therewith, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. Product Orders
We try to be as accurate as possible with the information we present on our Site. We will make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of the products we sell. We do not warrant that product descriptions or other content is accurate, complete, or error free. Prices and promotions are subject to change and may vary from those offered in physical retail locations. We cannot confirm the availability or price of an item until you place your order. Despite our best efforts, sometimes an item in our catalog may not be available, the offer may have been misstated, or an item may be mispriced. For any of these reasons, we may cancel your order or we may contact you for instructions on the order.
We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to process any payments made through the Site. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to the terms of this Agreement. We are not responsible for these financial transactions, the security of your financial information with respect to these transactions, and any errors by the Payment Processor. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any unauthorized charges or other breach of your financial information and/or security.
By making payments through the Site, you agree to pay us—through the Payment Processor—all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such payment processing in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand.
Our order confirmation to you does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. At any time after receipt of your order, we may accept, decline, or place quantity or other limits on your order for any reason. We may impose these limits on a per-person, per-household, per-order, or any other basis. If we reject, limit, or otherwise modify your order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address you provide to us. If we cancel an order or part of an order that we have already charged you for, we will refund you the full amount of the canceled portion of the order.
