We are not liable for any delays in shipments.
16.5 We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. For example, if there are errors on the Site or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Product or pricing information or Product availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We also may require verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or shipment of any order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain Product or Service may be delayed. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.
16.6 Any prices shown on the Site and in the Septilink App exclude all taxes or charges for shipping and handling. Taxes and shipping and handling costs will be added to the amount of your purchase and itemized on the check-out page. You will have an opportunity to review taxes and delivery costs before you confirm your purchase. Each item in your shopping cart is shown at the current price. All prices on the Site and in the Septilink App are subject to change at any time without notice. We do not collect taxes on merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction in which we do not have substantial nexus, in which case you will be liable to the appropriate taxing authority for any sales taxes relating to your purchase from the Site and in the Septilink App.
Septilink may make available promotional codes, coupon codes, or other discount codes. Such promotional, coupon, or discount codes are limited to one per person. Promotional, coupon, or discount codes may not be assigned, transferred, copied, or sold and have no cash redemption value. Promotional, coupon, or discount codes are not valid with any other discounts or offers. State and local laws may require or permit Septilink to charge sales tax on the selling price of the Product or Service without deduction for the amount of the promotional, coupon, or discount code.
16.7 Some Services may be provided for a fee, either now or in the future. When you select or use Services subject to a fee, you will pay the applicable fees in connection with such Service(s) in accordance with the amounts and payment terms (including due dates) specified on the Site, the Septilink App or otherwise negotiated. If no timing or due date for a given Service fee is specified, such fee will be due upon selection or sign up for the applicable Service. Some paid Services may be offered on a subscription basis with fees charged to you upon periodic renewals of such Service absent your termination of such Service prior to the renewal fee becoming due. Unless otherwise noted, all fee payment obligations for Services are non-cancelable and all Service fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable. Septilink may change any or all of its Service fees (or impose new fees) upon notification to you of such changed or new fees (except to the extent that a prior written agreement expressly states that fee rates are locked in for some period of time).
16.8 The Site and the Septilink App give you different payment options. We reserve the right to change our payment options at any time and for any reason. Payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. When you provide credit card information or other information necessary to facilitate payment to us or our vendors, you represent to us that (i) you are the authorized user of the credit card that is used to pay for the Products and Services, (ii) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (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 the Site or the Septilink App at the time of your order.
In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses. Credits or refunds will be made to the same method of payment and account used to place the order.
16.9 OUR RETURN POLICY IS IN ADDITION TO ANY STATUTORY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER LAW. WE WILL ACCEPT ANY ITEMS RETURNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR RETURN POLICY DESCRIBED IN OUR RETURN POLICY AND LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS. WE MAY DENY ANY RETURN IF IT FAILS TO MEET OUR RETURN CRITERIA DESCRIBED IN OUR RETURN POLICY. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OUR RETURN PROCESS AND POLICY, PLEASE VISIT OUR RETURN POLICY AND LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS.
17. SUBSCRIPTIONS
17.1 Certain Products and Services may require you to enroll in a recurring subscription before they can be used. Recurring subscriptions may be made available on either a monthly or a yearly basis (“Subscription Periods”) for the recurring fee indicated at the time you enroll in the subscription (“Fee”). You agree that your subscription is continuous until you cancel it and that you will be charged the Fee both (a) at the beginning of the Subscription Period and (b) at the beginning of each subsequent Subscription Period until you cancel.
YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE SEPTILINK TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE THE FEE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD, DEBIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, OR OTHERWISE BILL OR CHARGE YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE SELECTED, AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT LEAST TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS BEFORE THE END OF YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
17.2 If you do not cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current Subscription Period, you will be charged for another Subscription Period. For example, if your monthly Subscription Period ends on January 31, you must cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before February 1, which means you must cancel by the end of the day on January 30 to avoid being charged for the Subscription Period beginning February 1.
17.3 If the Fee changes, Septilink will notify you at least 30 days in advance of the next Subscription Period. If you do not want to pay the new Fee, you must cancel your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current Subscription Period.
If you used a promo code, coupon code, or other discount to sign up for a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period. Septilink will automatically charge your payment method on file, and you will be responsible for payment of the full Fee due.
