Fine Print
Sorry, it's necessary to have this somewhere!
Tennessee law applies, disputes may be settled by binding arbitration at our
discretion, venue Loudon County, Tennessee unless we select other. Seller reserves
right to cancel sale and refund money paid without additional payment if item upon
inspection prior to shipping does not meet specifications given or is no longer
available. Text and images copyrighted, do not infringe. If return or payment issues
have not been resolved within 30 days, we will consider buyer in default and any
amounts outstanding are due and payable. This includes chargeback on credit card
charges. Stephen Perry shall be entitled to repossess the item or turn buyer's
account over to an outside agency to collect monies due. Buyer agrees to pay any
collection fees, court costs, and attorney fees as allowed by law. Return or
repossession of the instrument does not release you from liability for any past due
amounts other than those for the instrument, and repair charges may still be
assessed. Failure to return goods that have not been fully paid for as we demand or
presenting of any false, fictitious, or misleading information to us shall be considered
prima facie evidence of an attempt to commit theft under Tennessee Code.
Purchases are binding on the buyer’s legal estate. If you pay check, draft or similar
means which is dishonored because of insufficient funds, no account, or any other
reason (except an error of a third party) you will be charged a $50 fee.
