4. Products and Pricing

4.1 Product Descriptions

We make every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors, features, specifications, and details of the Products available on our Site. However, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of any color will be accurate, and Product images are for illustrative purposes only. Actual Products may vary slightly from images shown.

4.2 Pricing

All prices are displayed in US Dollars (USD) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. Shipping costs are additional and will be added at checkout.

Despite our best efforts, a small number of the Products on our Site may be mispriced. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will contact you before shipping to confirm whether you wish to proceed with the order at the correct price.

4.3 Availability

All Products are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as possible if the Product you have ordered is not available, and we will not process your order if this is the case.

5. Orders and Payment

5.1 Order Placement

When you place an order through our Site, you are making an offer to purchase the Products at the price stated. Your order is subject to acceptance by us. We may contact you to confirm details or to inform you that we cannot fulfill your order for any reason.

5.2 Order Confirmation

After you place an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to purchase a Product from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you a confirmation email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

5.3 Payment Methods

We accept payment via credit card, debit card, PayPal, and other payment methods as indicated on our Site. By submitting your payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the total amount of your order including taxes, shipping, and handling charges.

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment method refuses to authorize payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

5.4 Pre-Orders

For Products marked as "Pre-order," we will charge your payment method when you place your order or when the Product is shipped, as indicated at checkout. Estimated release dates for pre-order items are subject to change.

6. Shipping and Delivery

6.1 Shipping Options

We offer various shipping options, which may include standard, expedited, and international shipping. Shipping methods, rates, and estimated delivery times are provided during the checkout process.

6.2 Delivery Times

Any delivery dates provided are estimates only and not guaranteed. We are not responsible for any delays caused by shipping carriers or customs procedures for international orders.

6.3 International Shipping

For international orders, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. These charges are your responsibility, and we have no control over these charges.

6.4 Risk of Loss

The risk of loss and title for Products purchased from our Site pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
