TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: July 1st , 2013
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
Imperial Optics Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) is a legal agreement between you and Imperial Optics (“we,” “us,” or “our”) that governs your membership and interaction on Imperialoptics.com and other Imperial Optics services (collectively, the “Site”) and your purchases and use of products and services made available through the Site. By using the Site, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. We have the right to change the Terms of Service at any time by posting a temporary notice of the changes in the footer of our Site, and the changes will be effective upon posting such notice to our Site. Your continued use of the Site shall be considered your acceptance to the revised Terms of Service.
You agree to our use of your personal information and content in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. Imperial Optics Terms of use govern your interactions, activities and purchases through Imperial Optics Adventures and are incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right to modify the Site at any time without prior notice, including without limitation, removing or making unavailable areas of the Site from time to time for maintenance.
Imperial Optics Membership.
Imperial Optics provides its users with access to sale events of goods, services and activities. To become a member of Imperial Optics, you are required to register for an account. You agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself in all registration, purchase and checkout forms used with the Site. You agree to keep your information current. The Site is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older and it is a violation of these Terms of Service for anyone under 18 to use the Site. Users may not have more than one active account. Users with more than one active account may be suspended or removed from the site and barred from reuse.
Additional Terms and Conditions.
Additional terms and conditions may apply to certain purchases. Such additional terms and conditions are in addition to these Terms of Service and you agree to abide by such additional terms and conditions.
Orders and Payment.
All orders placed through the Site are subject to our acceptance. We may refuse to accept or may cancel any order, whether or not the order has been confirmed, for any or no reason, and without liability to you or anyone else. This may occur when the booking is no longer available or has been misprinted, when we suspect fraud, and in other circumstances we deem necessary in our sole discretion. If your credit card has already been charged for an order that we later cancel not due to your violation of these Terms of Service, we will issue you a refund.
Sales Tax.
Sales tax will be added to orders when applicable. It will be displayed during checkout along with any other pricing information that may pertain to your order.
Product Availability.
We cannot guarantee that all items listed as “in stock” will ship right away, as
inventory changes significantly from day-
Product Descriptions.
We attempt to provide accurate descriptions of the products and services available
on our Site. However, we do not warrant that the descriptions are accurate, complete,
reliable, current or error-
Pricing.
We do not guarantee that we offer the best available rates for the products and services available on the Site. While we try to provide accurate pricing information, we cannot insure against pricing errors or changes. Therefore, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or not process any order placed on the Site if the price was incorrectly provided as a result of an error. In such instances, we will notify you by email and correct the price on the Site.
Shipping and Returns.
For information on shipping, tax and return policies, review our Shipping Policy and Returns Policy, which may change from time to time.
Earning Credits.
Tell all the friends you can. For each one that signs up as a member and makes a purchase of $15 or more, we'll credit your account $15 in Imperial Optics credit after their first order ships.
Referral credits will only be issued when you invite new members to join Imperial Optics (excludes returning or existing members). Each new member you refer must make a first purchase of $15 or more in order for you to earn the $15 credit.
There is no limit to the number of referral credits you can earn and referral credits will accrue with every eligible friend you refer. You can track your referral credits by visiting the 'Invite History' page in your account.
This offer is limited to one referral and email address per friend. Friends who register using multiple accounts or email addresses will be subject to an expiration of any referral credit associated with fraudulent email addresses.
This is an offer to friends, so Imperial Optics expects you to know your referrals. You may not spam or send unsolicited emails to persons you don't personally know to collect referrals. Likewise, you may not collect, promote or solicit referrals through general or mass marketing techniques, including without limitation paid search, push ads, unsolicited text messages, posts to blogs, commentary, social media, chat and group sites, and similar online and mobile activities that are directed to people you don’t personally know. Imperial Optics has the right in its sole discretion to deny, cancel or suspend any and all referral credits, and set off against your credit account already spent credits accruing to you from your use of any of these prohibited referral solicitation activities.
Spending Referral Credits.
Referral credits may only be spent on merchandise and cannot be used towards any shipping, handling, or other applicable transaction costs on the site.
You may not use referral credits to buy Gift Certificates.
Referral credits may be used in conjunction with other credit issued to your account but may not be used in combination with promotional codes or other offers.
Referral credits are automatically applied to your purchases at checkout.
Referral credits have no cash value by themselves; they can only be used with purchase of items on theclymb.com.
Referral credits expire one year after date of issue (but we doubt you'll be able to sit on them for that long!)
