All descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, and prices of products and services described or depicted on the Site are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and other descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. The inclusion of any products or services on the Site does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the receipt, possession, use, and sale of any item purchased from this Site. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.

In addition, you remain responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to your Transactions.
AVAILABILITY, ERRORS, AND INACCURACIES
AC‘s acknowledgement of an order means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been accepted or shipped or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed. AC makes a conscientious effort to describe and display its products and services accurately on the Site. Unfortunately, a small number of items on the Site could be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Site. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. AC reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. As part of our shipping procedures, we verify the availability and the price before an item is shipped.
RETURNS
If you are not satisfied with your purchase through this Site, you may return it within 30 days from the delivery date in the unopened original packaging for refund or replacement product less shipping and handling fees. Please notify us of your return with your name, company, and date of purchase by email at service@slipplate.com or call 877-371-4690.
