You should carefully review these Terms of Sale prior to purchasing any Product or Services that are available through this Website. Your continued use of this Website after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

 

These Terms of Sale are an integral part of our Terms of Use that apply generally to the use of our Website, and such Terms of Use are hereby incorporated herein by reference. You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy before placing an order for Products or Services through this Website (see Section 12).

 

2. ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION
You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms of Sale, all Products and Services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the Products or Services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. Acceptance of your order and the formation of the contract of sale between GEISMAR and you will not take place unless and until you have received your order confirmation email (“Order Confirmation”). You have the option to cancel your order at any time before we have sent your Order Confirmation by sending us an email at csinfo@geismar.com or calling our Customer Service Department at +1(847)697-7510.

3. PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS
  • (a) All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Website are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a Product or Service will be the price advertised on this Website at the time the order is placed, subject to the terms of any promotions or discounts that may be applicable. The price charged will be clearly stated in your Order Confirmation. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after the time of the increase. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your total price and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your Order Confirmation. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.
  • (b) Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We currently accept Stripe for all purchases. Purchases are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. (https://stripe.com/). When you place an order for a Product or Service, you represent and warrant that (i) information you supply to us in connection with your selected method of payment is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such payment method (i.e. that particular credit card, debit card, or bank account) for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company and/or bank, 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 Website at the time of your order.
4. SHIPMENTS; DELIVERY; TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
  • (a) We will arrange for shipment of the Products to you. Please check the individual Product page and/or the order checkout page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges unless otherwise specified in the Order Confirmation. We currently only arrange for shipment of the Products within the United States.
  • (b) Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the Products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.
5. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Except for any Products designated on the Website as non-returnable, we will accept a return of the Products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within thirty (30) days of shipment with valid proof of purchase and provided such Products are returned in their original condition. To return Products, you must call +1(847)697-7510 or e-mail our Returns Department at csinfo@geismar.com to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA“) number before shipping your Product. No returns of any type will be accepted without an RMA number.

 

You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items unless we inform you otherwise in writing. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection. All returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.

 

Refunds are processed within approximately three (3) business days of our receipt of the returned merchandise. After we have verified that the returned merchandise is in its original condition, we will initiate a refund via Stripe. Stripe will then credit your refund back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Website. It may take approximately five (5) to ten (10) business days for the credit to appear in your credit and/or bank account. If it takes longer than ten (10) days for the credit to appear, please contact our Customer Service Department by calling +1(847)697-7510 or e-mailing csinfo@geismar.com. WE OFFER NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THIS WEBSITE AS NON-RETURNABLE.
