HOW TO ORDER MERCHANDISE THROUGH THE SITE
After placing an order, you will receive an email from Zindgo acknowledging that Zindigo has received your order (generally, "Order Confirmation"). Zindigo is not obliged to supply any other products, which may have been part of your order in a separate Order Confirmation. Zindigo reserves the right to cancel your order at any time where there has been an obvious error in price or where the product is no longer in a Brand's or its third-party fulfillment provider's inventory.
PRICES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
Prices and availability of products on the website are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered. The website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite Zindigo's best efforts, some of the products listed on the website may be incorrectly priced. If a product's actual price is higher than the price stated on the website, Zindigo will normally, at Zindigo's discretion, either contact you for instructions before completing the order and delivering the product, or it will reject your order and notify you of such rejection. Zindigo is under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even if Zindigo has sent you an Order Confirmation or a Shipping Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a pricing error.
On occasion, you may be able to place a product in your shopping cart and submit your order for processing, but your order is subsequently cancelled due to unavailability of product. You acknowledge that products may sell quickly and there may be a short period of time after an order has been submitted, but where the product is no longer available. Under such circumstances, you agree that Zindigo may cancel your order after you have received an Order Confirmation without penalty.
On very rare occasions, you may receive a Shipping Confirmation from Zindigo, but the product is no longer available in the Brand Partner's inventory. You agree that Zindigo may rescind Zindigo acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if the Brand Partner is unable to ship the product you ordered due to unavailability.
SHIPPING
Upon receipt of the Shipping Confirmation from Zindigo, shipping or fulfillment of all orders placed on the website shall be solely governed by Zindigo's shipping terms. The term shipping or ship includes the commencement of shipping items in an order for multiple purchases or where the item purchased consists of components that must be shipped separately. For example, your order may consist of (i) several different items; (ii) a quantity of the same items; or (iii) a single item with several component parts the size of which might require them to be shipped in separate packages. In all such orders, the Brand Partners will endeavor to ship out individual packages together so that they arrive at the same time; however, when that is not possible, Brand Partners commence shipping by shipping individual packages in the order the soonest they are available and conditions permit. In these instances, any notification to you that your order has shipped marks the time when shipping of an individual item has commenced; it does not mean that all items in the order or from all Brand Partners have shipped at that time. All packages sent have a separate tracking number and may be followed on the Order Status page. You agree that your credit card or debit card may be charged on the date of inventory reservation for the order placed with Zindigo, not necessarily upon shipping of the order.
International Shipping
Zindigo and their Brand Partners reserve the right to prevent purchases and not conduct transactions with customers in certain countries. Furthermore, Agents’ option to offer free shipping to their customers DOES NOT APPLY to international shipments. In the event that you, as a customer, require International Shipping, you are solely responsible for any customs, duties, or any other taxes or fees associated with International Shipping, and neither Zindigo nor Brand Partners will have any responsibility for paying any such taxes or fees.
RETURN POLICY
Return shipping is FREE within the United States unless otherwise stated so. Returned merchandise must be sent to the manufacturer within 14 days from the date you received it. Merchandise must be unused and in the same condition as it was shipped. Merchandise that has been worn, used, altered, or damaged will not be accepted. A refund will be issued for 100% of the purchase price, ONLY. Any other expense incurred by you to receive the merchandise, to include shipping, insurance, customs duty or any other related fees will not be reimbursed. Merchandise must be returned in accordance with the instructions for return included with shipped merchandise. Any costs incurred with returns shipped by alternate means will not be reimbursed. On international orders, refunds will not include any customs or import duties, brokerage fees, or taxes paid on shipments.
RISK OF LOSS
All items purchased via the website are made pursuant to Zindigo's terms of purchase contained in the Shipping Confirmation. Accordingly, the risk of loss and title for items purchased pass to you upon tender of the item by Zindigo to the carrier, or as otherwise provided in the Shipping Confirmation.
ALLOCATION OF LIABILITY
You acknowledge and agree that Zindigo is offering the opportunity to provide items for sale via this website for the benefit of the various Brand Partners, as agent for such Brand Partners, and that this Agreement governs only access to and use of the website and the relationship between Zindigo and you, and any orders placed with Brand Partners will be governed by such applicable agreements as may exist between Zindigo and you. Accordingly, with respect to satisfaction of obligations and liabilities arising under or pursuant to orders placed with Zindigo, you shall only have recourse with Zindigo and shall not have recourse, whether by setoff or otherwise, in respect of such obligations or liabilities to or against the Brand Partners. For the avoidance of any doubt, you acknowledge that once you receive Shipping Confirmation from Zindigo, a contract has been formed between you and Zindigo alone; the Brand Partners shall not be a party to such contract, and the Brand Partners shall have no liability with respect to any contract formed between you and Zindigo. Your sole recourse shall remain with Zindigo.
