ECODIRECT.COM TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Delivery

1a Freight Delivery

Be sure to inspect the shipment for damages prior to accepting delivery and note any damages on the BOL.

PLEASE BE SURE TO INSPECT EVERY PANEL , AND NOTE ANY DAMAGES ON BOL BEFORE SIGNING. If this is not marked it does make it difficult to file a claim, and we do need it to be noted on the BOL.

Shortages, damages and discrepancies must be noted on the BOL. Our shipping policy is attached for reference. If you have any questions, please contact EcoDirect, Customer Service - 760-597-0498 ext. 4

All freight shipments must be inspected for damages at the time of delivery and if damages are present, must be noted on the BOL. All freight deliveries are insured for the value of the goods by the freight company making the delivery. EcoDirect is not responsible for damaged product reported after delivery is made. For more detailed information reference our shipping policy.

1b Ground Delivery
Shipping prices may vary by order size and weight. All shipping services are performed by UPS or FedEx. Be advised that we disclaim, and you release us from, all liability for lost, damaged, or stolen items, where the loss, damage, or theft occurs after we have submitted your order to UPS or FedEx for shipping.

2. Payment

You may register for an account for easy order tracking or you can checkout anonymously. When providing credit card information, the credit card must be your own. If the credit card does not belong to you, you must have permission from the account holder to use their card for your transactions.

Please note that chargebacks are only appropriate for certain disputes, such as non-delivery of an item or delivery of an incorrect item. Any use of fraudulent chargebacks to obtain free goods from us is not only a criminal offense, but also strictly prohibited under this Agreement. In the event of a fraudulent chargeback, we will deal with it by reporting it to the offending user's local police department and one or more credit bureaus, as well as referring the matter to a collections agency and/or attorney for further legal action.

3. Payment Processing

We permit a variety of payment options when you checkout, which may vary in their availability. Currently, we can process credit card payments through the use of Google Checkout. Additionally, we can process bank debits and credit card payments through the use of PayPal. We also permit the use of wire transfers and government and educational institution purchase orders.

Please note that all PayPal orders must be for under $5000USD and destined for a PayPal-verified address located in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. If you make a payment to us via PayPal that does not comply with this requirement, we will refund your money, less any fees or foreign exchange rate fluctuations if applicable.

4. Address Verification

We may verify your address through your credit/debit card issuer to verify your identity. If you have a different shipping address than billing address, please ensure that both are added to your payment card before placing your order.

5. Taxes & Duties

All orders shipped to a California address will be charged a 7.75% sales tax. Although we do not collect taxes for other states, you may be legally obligated to declare your purchase to your state revenue service and remit a sales or use tax to them.

EcoDirect, Inc. is not responsible for collecting Consumer Use Tax on sales made outside of the state of California. Vendors and Purchasers from out of state are required to self-assess their own tax liability and remit this tax directly to their taxing jurisdiction. Taxable items are to be assessed directly by the vendor and purchaser for products and equipment and is not the responsibility of EcoDirect, Inc.

International orders will likely have taxes and/or duties applied to them when customers make a purchase.

We are not responsible for collecting, transmitting, or advising on taxes, duties, or other levies by the government regarding your purchases, and you agree that you are responsible to, and in fact will, report and pay all taxes and duties, if any, to the relevant government collection agency or agencies.

6. Refunds/Returns

We may amend our refunds and returns policies from time to time. For an up-to-date description of our refunds policy and procedure, please visit our returns page. We will, however, always have a stocking fee, the rate of which is currently 20%. We also never accept returns on installed items.

16. Representations & Warranties

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF OUR SERVICE OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM ANY LIABILITY THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO YOU IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR PRODUCTS, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS INCLUDING DAMAGES SUCH FAILURE MAY CAUSE, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER TORT. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW RESTRICTS THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY LIABLE TO YOU FOR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE LAW RESTRICTS OUR LIABILITY TO, IF SUCH A MINIMUM EXISTS.

YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS TO MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, INCOMPATIBILITY WITH YOUR CURRENT POWER SYSTEM, OR DISSATISFACTION. WE ARE ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR ITEM CANNOT BE USED DUE TO YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES, EMBARGO, RECALLS, OR OTHER LEGAL PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF YOUR ITEM. YOU AGREE WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INSTALLATION OR REPAIR COSTS THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH RECALLS OR OTHER INSTANCES REQUIRING OR MAKING IT PRUDENT THAT YOU REMOVE OR REPLACE OUR GOODS.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES OF OUR COMPANY OR A THIRD PARTY, SUCH AS USPS, INCLUDING ANY FAILURES OR DISRUPTIONS, UNTIMELY DELIVERY, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED, INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL, ON OUR WEBSITE OR THROUGH THIRD PARTY SHIPPERS WHICH PREVENT ACCESS TO OUR WEBSITE TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY, OR PREVENT YOUR GOODS FROM ARRIVING QUICKLY.

THE PROVISION OF OUR GOODS AND SERVICES TO YOU IS CONTINGENT ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS "REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES" SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE GENERALITY OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION.

For Jurisdictions that do not allow us to limit our liability: Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms, if your jurisdiction has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the above then our liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, we do not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.

Product descriptions posted on our product pages are the representations provided by our suppliers and manufacturers. Please note that actual products may differ slightly from the pictures. EcoDirect is not responsible for typographical, pricing, product information, advertising, or shipping errors. Advertised prices and available quantities are subject to change without notice.

EcoDirect reserves the right to cancel an order or to issue a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) for merchandise that is advertised in error, is unexpectedly out of stock, does not conform to specifications, or was shipped in error. EcoDirect will also cancel an order if it is deemed to be made in bad faith or for which we are unable to verify billing and shipping information with the credit card's issuing bank.

17. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for any claims by you or any third party which may arise from or relate to this Agreement or the provision of our goods and services to you, including any damages caused by your use of our website, your actions as an affiliate, or your use of our goods. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases. You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim, and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.

18. Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the State of California. The offer and acceptance of this contract is deemed to have occurred in the State of California.

You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement will be heard solely by a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

You agree that the prevailing party in any dispute under this section will be entitled to payment by the unsuccessful party of the prevailing party, reasonable attorneys fees, costs, and disbursements in relation to the dispute.

21. Severability

In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.

If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other, EcoDirect, Inc. shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.

22. Termination & Cancellation

We may terminate your account or our provision of services to you, or cancel your order at our discretion without explanation, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. Our liability for refunding you will be limited to the amount you paid, except in cases where the termination or cancellation was due to your breach of this Agreement, in which case you agree that we are not required to provide any refund or other compensation whatsoever.

If you are an affiliate and you violate this Agreement, we may terminate your account and refuse to pay any funds to you that you amassed prior to the termination.
