Purchaser will receive, via email, a notification that its order has been shipped. Such notification will include a tracking number and the name of the freight carrier.

If the parties agree to such applicable charges and shipping requirements, then the order will be completed and processed during such telephone call.

If the parties agree to such applicable charges and shipping requirements, then the order will be completed and processed during such telephone call. The parties agree that these Conditions shall apply whether the sale of the goods occurs through the TricorBraun site or through the aforementioned telephone processing.

Shipments to a Residence
If purchaser requests delivery to a residence while entering an order through the TricorBraun site and Company determines that the shipment is too large to ship via FedEx or UPS, a customer service representative will contact purchaser (generally within one (1) business day) to advise purchaser that its shipment will require delivery on a common carrier and that additional shipping requirements may apply. If the parties agree to such shipping requirements, then the order will be shipped to purchaser. If the parties do not agree upon such shipping requirements, the order will be cancelled.

Order Tracking
Upon shipment of purchaser's order, purchaser will be sent via email the tracking number and freight carrier of its shipment.

The purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this information and not to disclose any of the information to third parties and not to use this information for any purpose unrelated to the sale of goods and services pursuant to these Conditions.

11. ARBITRATION; JURISDICTION AND VENUE. ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SALE OF GOODS OR SERVICES BY THE COMPANY TO THE PURCHASER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES. ALL SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL TAKE PLACE IN ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI. IN THE EVENT THERE IS ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS PARAGRAPH REQUIRING ARBITRATION OR ANY OTHER MATTER THAT IS FOUND NOT TO BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, THEN THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT SHALL PROPERLY (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY) LIE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION.

12. ATTORNEYS' FEES. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION ARISING FROM THE SALE OF GOODS OR SERVICES BY THE COMPANY TO THE PURCHASER, THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES FROM THE NON-PREVAILING PARTY AS PART OF THE SAME ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF A PARTY PREVAILS ON SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF ITS CLAIMS, SUCH PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER AN EQUITABLE AMOUNT OF SUCH FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, AS DETERMINED BY THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATOR OR COURT COMMENSURATE WITH ITS DEGREE OF SUCCESS AGAINST THE NON-PREVAILING PARTY.

13. RETURNS AND DAMAGED SHIPMENTS.

Returns:
If purchaser discovers a material defect in the goods with respect to materials or workmanship, purchaser may request an exchange, refund or return. If Company confirms the existence of a material defect in the goods with respect to materials or workmanship and purchaser requests an exchange, refund or return within 30 days of purchase, Company will allow the requested exchange, refund, or return. All exchanges, refunds and/or returns shall be limited to the amount paid by purchaser to Company for the defective goods. Purchaser's sole remedy and Company's sole liability for defective goods shall be exchange, refund or return of such goods.

All requests for exchange, refund or return not involving defective goods shall be handled by Company on a case-by-case basis and may be accepted or rejected by Company in its sole discretion. Company reserves the right to charge a restocking fee of 25% of the total product price on all returns authorized by Company not involving defective goods. If applicable, such amount will be deducted by Company from the credit issued to purchaser. Purchaser will be informed of whether this fee will apply when a return authorization number is provided.

All requests for exchange, refund or return (whether involving defective goods or otherwise) must be received by Company within 30 days of purchase. No credit will be issued for any customization performed to the goods after shipment by Company to purchaser. Company will only accept returned product and issue credit if a return authorization number is noted on the return.

Unless otherwise indicated by Company, all goods shall be returned F.O.B. point of delivery and all risk of loss or damage in transit shall not pass to Company until Company receives delivery. All freight charges for returns are purchaser's responsibility and credit will not be issued for original freight charges and custom fees or any fees or expenses required for shipping the goods back to Company.

Damaged Shipments:
Company will make commercially reasonable attempts to assure that when a package is shipped to purchaser, it is wrapped to avoid damage during transit; however, there are circumstances that could cause damage to the shipment. If purchaser's goods arrive damaged, purchaser agrees not to refuse the shipment. Instead, purchaser shall notify Company immediately so that Company may correct the issue by providing replacement goods. If the shipment is refused by purchaser, Company will not assume responsibility for any credits, refunds, exchanges, or returns that may be due to purchaser or otherwise required hereunder.

Contact Information for Returns or Damaged Shipments:

This indemnification applies to the initial adjudication, in whatever forum, and all subsequent appeals or other proceedings with respect thereto.

The purchaser represents, by placing any purchase order for goods or services or by accepting tender of goods, that the purchaser is not insolvent as that term is defined in Section 1-201 of the Uniform Commercial Code. In the event that the purchaser becomes insolvent before tender or delivery of the goods, the purchaser shall so notify the Company in writing. Any failure to notify the Company in writing shall be construed as a reaffirmation of the purchaser's solvency at the time of delivery.

17. INTERPRETATION; PAROL EVIDENCE; TRADE USAGE. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, these Conditions are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and are intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of sale with respect to any sale of goods or services by the Company to the purchaser. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in these Conditions. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under these Conditions shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of these Conditions even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the nature of the performance and an opportunity for objection. If any provision of these Conditions shall be unenforceable, then such provision shall be null and void but the remainder of the Conditions shall remain in full force and effect. The paragraph headings herein are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the terms hereof. This document shall be construed and interpreted without regard to any presumption against the party who drafted the document.

No agent, employee or representative of the Company has any authority to bind the Company to any affirmation, representation or warranty concerning the goods or services sold by the Company, and unless an affirmation, representation or warranty made by an agent, employee or representative is specifically included in these Conditions it shall not be enforceable by the purchaser.

18. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. THE COMPANY'S LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S OR ITS SUPPLIERS' NEGLIGENCE, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM ANY CONTRACT FOR SALE OF GOODS OR SERVICES OR FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH THEREOF OR RELATING TO THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, SALE, DELIVERY, RESALE, INSTALLATION, TECHNICAL DIRECTION OF INSTALLATION, INSPECTION, REPAIR, OPERATION OR USE OF ANY GOODS, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PRICE ALLOCABLE TO THE GOODS OR SERVICES OR UNIT THEREOF WHICH GIVES RISE TO ANY SUCH CLAIM, LOSS OR DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PENALTY OR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES CLAUSE OF ANY DESCRIPTION BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING UPON THE COMPANY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED IN WRITING BY AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE COMPANY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION 2-715 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR OTHERWISE) OR INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.
