Information Accuracy

Product descriptions and specifications

We work hard to provide you with accurate information about our products and services. Occasionally, information on our website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in relation to product descriptions, technical specifications, pricing and availability. We apologize for these oversights and ask that if you notice something you believe is in error, please contact us to let us know.

While we strive to ensure all of the information on our website is correct, we reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may appear on our site, and to change or update information on our website at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted an order).

Pricing

In the event of a pricing error on an item you have ordered, we will notify you and await your approval of the corrected price before we continue to process your order. We will do everything we can to minimize any inconvenience.

Please note that the prices listed on this site are quoted in U.S. Dollars (USD), unless otherwise specified.

Product appearance and color

We work hard to ensure the images we provide of our products are accurate, but from time to time the appearance of those products is subject to change due to product updates or improvements.

Due to a number of variables beyond our control, (e.g. software color management settings on your computer, or monitor configurations), we can’t guarantee that your monitor will display color of an item displayed exactly as it is intended.

Product Availability

All of the products and services we offer are subject to availability and we give no guarantee in this regard. Each product on our website includes the number of In Stock units available for ordering from our North American warehouses. If the number of units you wish to order exceeds the amount shown as available, we’ll be happy to transfer stock of that product between our warehouses to fulfill your order.

While we’ll do everything we can to ensure you get the products you want quickly, for situations requiring stock transfers between our warehouses please expect between 1 to 2 weeks to receive your order.
