PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU.

These terms and conditions apply to the purchase and sale of Products and services through https://www.powerbilt.com (referred to as the “site”). For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the term “Products(s)” include any Products purchased through https://www.powerbilt.com, specifically including, but not limited to, our POWERBILT.  By placing an order for such Products and services, you (referred to as “you”, “your”, “consumer” or “customer”) agree to be bound by and accept these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you should not obtain Products or services from this site. These terms and conditions are subject to change by Powerbilt (referred to as “powerbilt”, “us” or “we”) without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. The latest version of the terms and conditions will be posted on this site, and you should review these terms and conditions prior to purchasing any Products or services that are available through this site. These terms and conditions are an integral part of the site and apply generally to the use of our site. You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy at http://www.powerbilt.com before placing an order for goods or services through this site.

  1. Order Acceptance and Cancellation
  2. Pre-Orders: Powerbilt may offer Products on a pre-order basis, prior to the official release date. The release date is the date the Products is available to ship. We make our best effort to meet these release dates, but they are subject to change based on manufacturing schedules.

A credit card is required to place a pre-order, but if you decide to place a pre-order, your credit card will only be used to obtain authorization from your credit card company for the total amount of the order (including any applicable shipping charges, taxes and fees). Your credit card will not be charged until your item is ready to ship (so please be sure your card is not due to expire between the time you place your order and the time your item is expected to ship). If you wish to add items to your pre-order, please do so by placing a separate new order for the additional items.

To make changes to your pre-order, please email us at support@powerbilt.com. We will do our best to accommodate your change request prior to fulfilling your order, but we cannot guarantee your change request will be made before your order ships.

  1. New Orders: Orders for in-stock Products will be processed upon Powerbilt successfully receiving and accepting your order. At that time, your payment will be collected and we will make our best effort to ship your order within 3-business days. An email notification will be sent to you confirming your order and providing you with an order number. Once your order has shipped, an email notification will be sent to you providing shipping and tracking information.

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. 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. If your credit card has been charged and your order is canceled you will receive a prompt refund credit to your account.

Once an order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled unless the shipment is unavoidably delayed. In this case, we will do our best to cancel the order if requested.

We are a seller to end user customers and do not accept orders from dealers, exporters, wholesalers, or other customers who intend to resell the Products and services which are offered on our site.

We make every effort to maintain the availability of our site. However, should we experience technical difficulties, we are not responsible for orders that are not processed or accepted.

  1. Payment Terms and Sales Taxes

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us prior to our acceptance of an order.  Federal, state or local taxes are not included in Powerbilt’s  prices, and will be added to the purchase price, where applicable. In such event, you agree to pay said taxes or furnish evidence of exemption.

We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards for all purchases. You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete; (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iii) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes and fees, if any.

All payments must be in United States dollars. Current billing address and phone information must be included with every order. You agree to pay interest on all past-due sums at the lower of 6% per annum or the highest rate allowed by law. We retain a security interest in the Products and all proceeds thereof until the full purchase price therefore (including taxes and additional charges) has been paid.

Charges for shipping and handling will be made in accordance with our then-current shipping policies, as described below.

  1. Shipping Policy

All shipping prices are quoted in United States dollars. No C.O.D. orders can be accepted. Products are shipped FOB shipping point. You agree to inspect the Products shipped upon receipt thereof, and to immediately report any damage or shortage to Powerbilt.

You can estimate shipping charges and taxes at checkout based on the information you enter in your order. Shipping rates are based on the estimated packaged weight and dimensions of your complete order. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.

Please note the posted shipping time frame may be listed on the individual Products page and may vary from item to item. The posted shipping time frame is contingent upon Products availability and credit card approval.
