Please read
the following Terms and Conditions carefully, they contain important
information about your rights, as well as limitations that may apply,
and provisions concerning how disputes are resolved:
The terms and
conditions set forth below (the “Deal Terms”)
apply to your purchase of computers and/or equipment ("Equipment
") sold by Beautiful PC, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“BPC”),
to US customers. To place your
order with BPC, you must agree to the Deal Terms.
If you do not agree to the Deal Terms, you must notify BPC in writing,
and simultaneously return any Equipment you purchased to BPC, in good
working order.
The Deal Terms shall apply to your purchase unless you have a separate
purchase agreement with BPC (in which case that separate agreement will
apply).
1. Changes. The
Deal Terms cannot be altered or modified unless both the customer and
BPC agree in writing.
2. Payment Terms
and Taxes.
Unless otherwise agreed to by BPC in writing, you must pay for your
order in full before BPC will accept such order. Payment
for Equipment may be made by credit card or money order.
Invoices for any Equipment not paid in
full upon order and (in BPC’s sole election accepted) shall be due and
payable within the time period noted on the invoice. BPC
may give you one or more invoices separately depending upon lead time
of equipment. BPC may cancel your order, in BPC’s sole discretion (in
which case BPC shall promptly refund any payment received). BPC is not
responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by
BPC and reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such
errors. You are responsible for sales and other taxes associated with
your order. Any delivery dates are estimates only.
3. Delivery.
Shipping and handling are additional unless otherwise expressly
indicated at the time of sale. Title to products passes from BPC to you
upon shipment from BPC. If BPC selects the shipping carrier, any loss
or damage in transit shall be BPC’s responsibility. Likewise, if you
select the shipping carrier, any loss or damage in transit shall be
your responsibility. You must
notify BPC within 21 days of the date of your invoice if any part of
your purchase is missing, damaged or not as ordered.
4. Warranties. BPC
systems come with a limited warranty that covers defects in materials
and workmanship in any computer system assembled for you by PBC.
Any external equipment such as
keyboards, monitors, printers, external hard drives, etc. (“External
Equipment”) shall have such warranties (if any) as are
provided by the manufacturers of such External Equipment.
Likewise, any application and operating
system software included with any equipment shall be subject only to
such warranties (if any) as are provided by the manufacturers of such
software. BPC makes no warranties
for service, software, or non-BPC branded product, service, maintenance
or support. Such product, software, service, maintenance or support is
provided by BPC "as is" and any third-party warranties, services,
maintenance and support are provided by the original manufacturer or
supplier, not by BPC. BPC makes no express warranties except as set
forth herein. BPC is not required
to honor a warranty or provide service for any order until BPC receives
full payment for such order.
5.
Software. Any
software included on any Equipment is provided subject to a license
agreement and you agree that you will be bound by such license
agreement in addition to these terms. Title to software remains with
the applicable licensor(s).
6.
Returns. You
may return eligible Equipment for a credit or a refund of the purchase
price paid, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking
fees, as set forth below. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing between you and BPC, all hardware,
accessories, peripherals, parts, and media-based software that is
unopened and still in its sealed package may be returned within 21 days
from the date on the packing slip or invoice for a credit or a refund
of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and any
applicable restocking fees. Unless the product is defective or the
return is a direct result of an error made by BPC, BPC may charge a
restocking fee of up to 15% of the purchase price paid, plus any
applicable sales tax.
7.
Equipment
Changes. All
orders are subject to availability of Equipment. If
after you place an order any part of the order is not available
(because it was discontinued, for example), BPC shall advise you in
writing as promptly as may be practical, which notice shall advise you
if alternative products may be available. After
you receive any such notice you may elect to (i) cancel the order and
receive a refund of any payment you made, or (ii) go forward with your
order subject to any modifications, additions or substitutions as BPC
may have proposed in its notice to you.
8. Service and
Repairs. BPC
may tell you about one or more vendors that offer installation and/or
repair services for a yearly basis, on-demand or hourly pricing.
In such event, your relationship with
any such service provider shall be solely as set forth in your contact
with such service provider. BPC
makes no warranty regarding any such third-party service provider(s)
you may select.
9.
Limitation of
Liability. BPC
will not be liable beyond the remedies set forth herein, including but
not limited to any liability for product not being available for use,
lost profits, loss of business or for lost or corrupted data or
software, or the provision of services and support. BPC will not be
liable for any consequential, special, indirect, or punitive damages,
even if advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by
any third party. You agree that for any liability related to the
purchase of any Equipment, BPC is not liable or responsible for any
amount of damages above the amount invoiced for the applicable
Equipment. We both agree that the
remedies set forth in these Deal Terms shall apply even if such
remedies fail their essential purpose.
10.
Domestic Use. You
represent that you are buying only for your own internal use only, and
not for resale or export.
11.
Governing Law.
We both agree that the Deal Terms, any sales thereunder, or any claim,
dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise,
whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory,
consumer protection, common law, and equitable claims) between customer
and BPC arising from or relating to the Deal Terms, their
interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the
relationships which result from the Deal Terms, BPC’s advertising, or
any related purchase shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia, without regard to conflicts of law.
12.
Binding
Arbitration. Any
claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or
otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including
statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort and
equitable claims) between customer and BPC, its agents, employees,
principals, successors, assigns, affiliates (collectively for purposes
of this paragraph, "BPC Parties") arising
from or relating to the Deal Terms, their interpretation, or the
breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result
from the Deal Terms (including, to the full extent permitted by
applicable law, relationships with third parties), BPC's advertising,
or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY
BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM
(NAF) under its Code of Procedure then in effect (available via the
Internet at http://www.arb-forum.com
, or via telephone at
1-800-474-2371). In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between
NAF Code of Procedure and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy
between the customer and BPC. Neither the customer nor BPC shall be
entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other customers,
or arbitrate any claim as a representative or class action or in a
private attorney general capacity. The individual (non-class) nature of
this dispute provision goes to the essence of the parties' arbitration
agreement, and if found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision
shall not be enforced. This transaction involves interstate commerce,
and this provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act 9
U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final
and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in
any court of competent jurisdiction. BPC will be responsible for paying
any individual customer arbitration fees. If any customer prevails on
any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if
there is a written agreement providing for fees, the Arbitrator may
award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for
fee shifting provided by law. Otherwise, each party shall pay for its
own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. Information may be obtained and
claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN
55405.
