4.1 Order Confirmation.

By placing an order you offer to purchase a Product on and subject to the provisions of these Terms. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. We will provide an email with an electronic invoice or other form of confirmation after receipt of your purchase order. Your receipt of an order confirmation merely confirms our receipt of your order and neither indicates our acceptance of your order nor confirms our offer to sell. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any order you place with us. We may in our sole discretion limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household or order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same Method of Payment (as defined below), email address, and/or using the same billing and/or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting you at the email address provided at the time the order was made. If we cancel all or any part of your order after your Method of Payment has been charged, we will refund the billed amount.

4.2 Shipment Confirmation and Delivery.

All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming the Products have been shipped and you may be charged shipping and handling charges. We will not be held liable for deliveries delayed due to events beyond our control.

4.3 Prices.

The prices displayed for Products available for purchase through the Service represent the applicable retail prices, and do not include shipping or handling charges (to the extent applicable). Any applicable taxes, shipping or handling charges will be communicated to you before you place an order. The prices displayed on the Service are quoted in U.S. dollars. Products in your shopping cart reflect the current price displayed on the Product’s details page. Prices and product availability are subject to change without notice. All specials and promotions are limited to stock on hand.

4.4 Payment.

By submitting an order through the Service, you agree to pay in advance the price of the Product(s) ordered, plus any applicable taxes, shipping and handling, and other relevant charges. Payment may be made by credit card or any other method of payment we may make available to you (each, a “Method of Payment”). To make a payment, you must provide us with a valid credit card and/or other billing information and authorize us (or any third party payment service provider engaged by us) to charge your Method of Payment for orders placed and accepted via the Service.

4.5 Cancellation, Return, Exchange Policies.

The Limited Warranty and Return Policy governs Product warranty, cancellation, return, and exchange. Any applicable shipping and/or handling charges are non-refundable.

4.6 Product information.

Most Products displayed on the Service are available exclusively online through the Service. These Products may have limited quantities and, because of their limited availability, stock will not and cannot be refreshed. When a Product featured on the Service is no longer in stock, we will seek to remove such Product from the Service in a timely manner. Should you have questions concerning the availability of a particular Product, please contact hello@northweek.com.

We seek to present the most recent, accurate, and reliable information on the Service at all times. However, occasionally information on the Service may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that relate to Product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, and availability. Any errors are wholly unintentional and we reserve the right to amend errors or to update Product information at any time without prior notice. In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price due to photographical error, typographical error, or any other error in pricing information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for any Product listed at the incorrect price. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your Method of Payment charged. If your Method of Payment has been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we will issue a credit to your Method of Payment in the amount of the incorrect price.

4.8 Colors.

We seek to display as accurately as possible the colors of Products that appear on the Service. However, because the color display may vary according to the monitor used to view the Service, we cannot guarantee that the color of the Product you see on the Service matches the actual Product color.

4.9 Cancellation of orders.

We reserve the right to cancel, modify, or suspend any order placed if we determine in our sole discretion that a user has violated these Terms, including by engaging in any fraudulent or misleading activity (for example, by using false names, multiple identities, multiple email accounts or email addresses, impersonating another person or otherwise providing false or misleading information), or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that a user’s conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to our interests.

We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Service (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback for the Products by email at hello@northweek.com.
