Errors on Our Site

We try to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant or represent that product descriptions or other Site content is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Prices and promotions are subject to change and may vary. We cannot confirm the availability or price of an item until you place your order.

For any of these reasons, we may cancel your order or we may contact you for instructions on the order. We cannot warrant that the Site or its features will be error-free, capable of operating without interruption, virus-free, malware-free, or free of other harmful content.

Paying for Your Order

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.
