Notice and Procedure
for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.
RISK OF LOSS
All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment
contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you
upon our delivery to the carrier.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Amazon.com and its affiliates attempt to be as accurate as possible.
However, Amazon.com does not warrant that product descriptions or other content
of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a
product offered by Amazon.com itself is not as described, your sole remedy is
to return it in unused condition.
PRICING
Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products
on our website represents the full retail price listed on the product itself,
suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with
standard industry practice. The List Price is a comparative price estimate and
may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular
day. For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price may represent
"open-stock" prices, which means the aggregate of the manufacturer's estimated
or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set. Where an
item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, the List Price may be
provided by the merchant.
With respect to items sold by Amazon.com, we cannot confirm the
price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card
until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best
efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If we
discover a mispricing, we will do one of the following:
- If an item's correct price is lower than our stated
price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item.
- If an item's correct price is higher than our stated
price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before
shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such
cancellation.
Please note that this policy applies only to products sold and
shipped by Amazon.com. Your purchases from third-party sellers using Amazon.com
Payments are charged at the time you place your order, and third-party sellers
may follow different policies in the event of a mispriced item. OTHER BUSINESSES
Parties other than Amazon.com and its subsidiaries operate stores,
provide services, or sell product lines on this site. For example, Ofoto.com
offers Photo Services in our Camera and Photo store, and other businesses and
individuals offer products in zShops and Auctions. In addition, we provide
links to the sites of affiliated companies and certain other businesses. We are
not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the
offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals or the content of their
Web sites. Amazon.com does not assume any responsibility or liability for the
actions, product, and content of all these and any other third parties. You
should carefully review their privacy statements and other conditions of use.
