12. CONDITIONS OF SALE

In addition to the conditions as set forth in the accompanying Customer Service section, all sales made pursuant to this website are subject to the following further limitations:

Modifications To Service
ACA reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Service, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you, and is not obligated to support or update the Service. You acknowledge and agree that ACA shall not be liable to you or any third party in the event that ACA exercises its right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Service.

Order Acceptance
You may place orders for Kosé Products and Services via the Service. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not constitute ACA’s acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of ACA’s offer to sell you the particular Kosé Product or Service. ACA reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept, decline, or limit your order for any reason. Your credit card will not be charged until ACA has accepted your order and prepared your order for shipment or for download. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Price and availability of Kosé Products and Services offered on the Site are subject to change without prior notice. To the extent we provide information on the availability of any Kosé Products, such information may be subject to further verification by you. ACA will not be liable for any lack of availability of Kosé Products you may order.

Security
The purchase area of the Service is designed to be secure. However, if you experience fraudulent use of your credit card as a result of shopping with ACA, notify ACA and your credit card company in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures. In no event shall ACA be liable or responsible in any way for the fraudulent use of your credit card.

Prices
Unless otherwise expressly indicated in writing by ACA, prices for all Kosé Products are as noted on ACA’s Site as in effect on date your order is placed. Unless otherwise indicated on ACA’s acknowledgment and/or invoice, Buyer shall pay, and be exclusively liable for, all costs of shipping, delivery, insurance and the like after ACA has effected delivery of the products to the U.S. postal Service or other carrier. All prices are in United States dollars.

Taxes
Prices do not include any tax or other governmental charge or assessment on the sale, shipment, production or use of any products sold to Buyer hereunder. Such taxes and charges, when applicable, may appear as separate additional charges on ACA’s acknowledgment and/or invoice. Buyer shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay to ACA upon demand, any such tax, charge or assessment, unless Buyer has furnished to ACA an appropriate valid certificate of exemption issued by or acceptable to the tax authority in question.

Delivery
ACA shall make every reasonable effort to effect shipment on or before the scheduled shipping date(s) reflected on ACA’s acknowledgment and/or invoice, but such schedule may vary due to, among other things, conditions beyond ACA’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to ACA’s receipt of all materials and information to be supplied by Buyer. If no shipping date is specified, shipment will be made on date(s) selected by ACA. In no event shall ACA be liable for any damages or penalties for delay in delivery or for failure to give notice of delay.

Title
Title to all Kosé Products sold by ACA to Buyer shall pass from ACA to Buyer when such Kosé Products are delivered by ACA to the carrier for shipment to Buyer.

Inspection by Buyer
Buyer shall carefully inspect all deliveries of Kosé Products as they are received by Buyer and report to ACA promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of shipment) any alleged error, shortage, defect or nonconformity of such products. Any failure by Buyer to so inspect and report shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any claim or right of Buyer against ACA arising out of or related to any such error, shortage, defect or nonconformity that was reasonably discoverable by such an inspection.

Limited Warranty
It is the sole and exclusive responsibility of Buyer to determine the suitability of any and all Kosé Products for Buyer’s intended purposes and uses. ACA warrants that the Kosé Products sold hereunder will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of shipment. If you discover a defect covered by this warranty, we will repair or replace the Kosé Product at our option, provided that ACA shall not have any liability whatsoever for any damage to or defect in Kosé Products resulting directly or indirectly from events occurring after the delivery of such products to the U.S. postal Services and/or carrier by ACA. This limited warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse, misuse, accident, modification or repair by any person other than ACA, moisture, extreme heat or cold, or corrosive environments. The limited warranty does not cover any Kosé Product with an altered or defaced serial number.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY GIVEN BY ACA WITH RESPECT TO KOSÉ PRODUCTS. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OR USE OF PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE 30 DAY TERM OF THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY ABOVE. NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ACA IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE OR MAKE ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OR MODIFY THIS WARRANTY IN ANY WAY EXCEPT IN A WRITTEN AMENDMENT OF THESE TERMS OF SALE SIGNED BY A DULY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF ACA WHICH MAKES SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THESE TERMS OF SALE.

Limitation on ACA’s Liability. ACA’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED SOLELY TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE KOSÉ PRODUCTS OR COMPONENTS. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE DEEMED TO INCLUDE ANY LIABILITY, OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY OF ACA FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH KOSÉ PRODUCTS, OR THEIR SALE OR USE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF ANY PROPERTY, INJURY TO PERSON, LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT, OR INCONVENIENCE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THEREFORE, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Indemnification
Buyer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend ACA (and its employees, consultants, advisors, experts, officers, directors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns and agents) from and against any and all claims, demands, judgments, liabilities, damages, losses, expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred or suffered by ACA, which relate to or arise out of (a) Buyer’s use, handling, sale or distribution of the Kosé Products sold hereunder; or (b) Buyer’s breach of any representation, warranty or obligation hereunder.

Termination & Effect
Either you or ACA may terminate access to or use of the Service with or without cause at any time and effective immediately. ACA shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of the Service. If you object to any provision of the Terms of Sale or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with the Service in any way, your only recourse is to terminate your use of the Service.

You agree that upon termination of these Terms of Sale, you will perform your obligations under all outstanding purchases.
