3. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars.

If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms.
4. We will send you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched ("Dispatch Confirmation").
5. If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site or the respective retailer’s site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible and will incur no further liability to you.

We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. We also reserve the right to cease doing business with those customers violating this policy. We may modify this policy at any time without prior notice.
