You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy before using our services provided through this Site (see Section 9).
2. Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that by using our services through this Site, you are requesting that we submit an offer to a third-party supplier (each, a “Third-Party Supplier”) on your behalf to buy all products submitted in your order request (the “Order”). All Orders must be accepted by the applicable Third-Party Supplier of such products in its sole discretion, or we will not be obligated to provide our services to you. Our Third-Party Suppliers may choose not to accept your Order in its sole discretion, even after you receive a confirmation email with your Order number and details of the items you have ordered.
3. Prices and Payment Terms.
(a) All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price included in the offer we submit to our Third-Party Supplier on your behalf will be the price advertised on this Site at the time the Order is placed, subject to the terms of any promotions or discounts that may be applicable. The price charged will be clearly stated in your Order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to Orders placed after the time of the increase. We strive to display accurate price information received from our Third-Party Suppliers, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability or our Third-Party Suppliers may increase the price of certain products without notice to us. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any Orders arising from such occurrences.
(b) Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. You agree to pay all applicable taxes unless you have provided us with an exemption resale certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction of your place of business and any jurisdiction to which the products are to be directly shipped hereunder, or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. You agree to indemnify and hold us and our Third-Party Suppliers harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on your invoice. You must have a state sales tax exemption certificate on file with us to avoid sales tax charges. If you are using a restricted sales tax exemption certificate (per purchase order), you must submit a confirming purchase order referencing the state sales tax exemption number for all Orders exempt from sales tax.
(c) Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an Order by any of our Third-Party Suppliers. We accept approved credit and debit cards for all purchases. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on this Site at the time of your Order.
4. Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss. All products that are purchased pursuant to Orders that are duly accepted by our Third-Party Suppliers will be shipped directly from such Third-Party Supplier to the address provided in your Order. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon transfer of the products by the Third-Party Supplier to the carrier. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order confirmation. We are not liable for any loss or delay in shipments.
5. Returns and Refunds.
(a) Returns. Except for any products designated on this Site as non-returnable, all requests for returns, refunds and/or replacements of products shall be in the sole discretion of the applicable Third-Party Supplier; provided, however, that no requests for returns or refunds for convenience will be accepted. All return, refund and/or replacement requests (including for undelivered shipments) must be submitted to our Returns Department by email to ICv2-Direct@ICv2.com within seven (7) days of delivery of such product(s). Our Returns Department will work directly with the Third-Party Supplier to seek a resolution to your request, which may require your submission of written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required to verify your purchase and the reasons for such request. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable for any Third-Party Suppliers’ failure to issue a return, refund or replacement of any product. If your timely request for return or replacement of products is accepted by the applicable Third-Party Supplier, you shall ship such products directly to such Third-Party Supplier. You shall be responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items, unless otherwise specified by the Third-Party Supplier. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection. If your request is accepted by the applicable Third-Party Supplier, your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site.
