Affiliate Disclosure

How to Order Through the Site

After placing an order, You will receive an email from Privus Consulting, LLC acknowledging that Privus Consulting, LLC has received Your order (“Order Confirmation”). Please note that this does not mean that Your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Privus Consulting, LLC to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by Privus Consulting, LLC, and Privus Consulting, LLC will confirm such acceptance to You by sending You an email confirming the shipment of Your order (the “Shipping Confirmation”). A contract with Privus Consulting, LLC will only be formed when Privus Consulting, LLC sends You the Shipping Confirmation. Privus Consulting, LLC reserves the right to cancel Your order at any time before it has been accepted, and may rescind acceptance and cancel Your order where there has been an obvious error in price or where the product is no longer in inventory.

Prices and Availability of Products

Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced. Privus Consulting, LLC will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a product’s correct price is less than our stated price, Privus Consulting, LLC will charge the lower amount. If a product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, Privus Consulting, LLC will normally, at our discretion, either contact You for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject Your order and notify You of such rejection. Privus Consulting, LLC is under no obligation to provide the product to You at the incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by You as a pricing error.

On occasion, Your order may be cancelled due to unavailability of product, and You agree that Privus Consulting, LLC may cancel Your order after You have received an Order Confirmation without penalty.

Notice on Collection of Tax and User Waiver of Damages

In states where Privus Consulting, LLC has no physical presence, Privus Consulting, LLC is not required to collect and remit sales tax for Site purchases. However, many states require that their residents file a sales or use tax return for items purchased on this Site. You should consult Your state and local tax laws to determine compliance. Privus Consulting, LLC will make reasonable commercial efforts to calculate and remit the correct amount of tax required on each taxable purchase, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the amount of tax represented to You as owed. In consideration of allowing You access to and use of the Site, You hereby waive Your right to claim that the tax collected on any purchase is incorrect in any respect and agree to hold harmless Privus Consulting, LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, for any harm or other damages You may incur as a result of an error in calculating the taxes You owe for Your purchases.

Shipping

The term shipping or ship includes the commencement of shipping items in an order for multiple purchases or where the item purchased consists of components that must be shipped separately. Privus Consulting, LLC endeavors to ship out individual packages together so that they arrive at the same time; however, when that is not possible, Privus Consulting, LLC commences shipping by shipping individual packages in the order the soonest they are available and conditions permit. Our notification to You that Your order has “shipped” marks the time when shipping has commenced; it does not mean that all items in the order have shipped at that time. You agree that credit cards and debit cards are to be charged on the date of inventory reservation for the order, not the date of shipping.

Risk of Loss

All items purchased from Privus Consulting, LLC are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to You upon tender of the item to the carrier.

Legal Disputes

You and Privus Consulting, LLC agree that We will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or the Services in accordance with this Section or as You and Privus Consulting, LLC otherwise agree in writing.

These terms and conditions and Your relationship with Privus Consulting, LLC shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute relating in any way to Your visit to the Website or to the Services or products You purchase through the Website shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration in Dallas County, Texas for the maximum judgment enforceable, except that to the extent You have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, Privus Consulting, LLC may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. You hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Dallas County, Texas.
