    Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or the limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so some of the above may not apply to You.

13. ONLINE SHOPPING.

    All product and service descriptions and depictions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. The inclusion of any products or services on the Service does not imply or warrant that such products or services will be available. In the event a product or service available on or through the Service is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, Red Cross will have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the product or service listed at the incorrect price, whether due to a typographical error, an error in information received from Red Cross’ suppliers or providers, or otherwise. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation neither signifies Red Cross’ acceptance of Your order, nor constitutes confirmation of Red Cross’ offer to sell. Red Cross reserves the right at any time after receipt of Your order to accept or decline Your order for any reason. Red Cross may charge and withhold the applicable sales tax for orders, otherwise. You are solely responsible for all sales or other taxes, on orders shipped to You. If You wish to purchase any product made available through the Service, You may be asked to supply certain information relevant to such transaction including, without limitation, Your credit card number, its expiration date and security code, the billing address, and any shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, You grant to the Red Cross the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of any transactions initiated by You or on Your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any such transaction. 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 product or service purchased from the Service.

If invoices are not received as expected, You understand that it is Your responsibility to contact Billing Support.

    Standard Payment Terms are NET thirty (30). Payment in full is due on the ue Date stated on the invoice. Payment of invoice is accepted by credit card or check.

These Terms are subject to change by the American National Red Cross (referred to as "us", "we", "our," or “Red Cross” as the context may require) without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be in effect as of the "Last Updated Date" referenced on the Site. You should review these Terms prior to purchasing any products that are available through this Site. Your continued use of this Site after the "Last Updated Date" will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

    These Terms are an integral part of the Website Terms of Use that apply generally to the use of our Site. You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy before placing an order for products through this Site (see 9).

    1. Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.

    2. Prices and Payment Terms.

       1. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

       2. We may offer from time to time promotions on the Site that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

       3. The following terms may be used by us to communicate pricing information:

          1. "Sale" refers to a reduced price for a product.

          2. "Clearance" refers to a reduced price for a product that will be discontinued.

       4. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept Visa, Discover, Mastercard, American Express, and Paypal for all purchases. You may opt to be invoiced instead, as provided under, and subject to, the Website Terms of Use. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order.

Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order.

       2. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier/delivery. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

    4. Returns and Refunds. Except for any products designated on the Site as final sale or non-returnable, we will accept a return of the products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within 30 days of shipment with valid proof of purchase and provided such products are returned in their original condition.

       You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items unless otherwise specified. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.

       Refunds are processed within approximately seven to ten business days of our receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site. WE OFFER NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THIS SITE AS NON-RETURNABLE.

    11. Assignment. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this ion 12 is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

    12. No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Red Cross.

    13. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you.

Unless you and Red Cross have executed a separate agreement which governs the purchase and sale of the goods from the Site, and such agreement is in effect at the time of purchase, these Terms, our Website Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between Red Cross and you regarding your purchase from us, and our sale to you, of goods from the Red Cross Store, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between us with respect to that subject. This Agreement may only be added to, modified, or waived by a non-preprinted document clearly understood by both Red Cross and you to be an amendment, addendum or waiver, as the case may be, and signed by an authorized representative of each party. Any additional or different terms or conditions contained in any purchase order, confirmation, or other, similar document issued by you will not be binding on Red Cross, whether or not such terms and conditions would materially alter this Agreement, and even if Red Cross has signed or otherwise acknowledged such purchase order, confirmation, or other document, and Red Cross hereby rejects all such additional and different terms and conditions.

14. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (“DMCA”) NOTICE.
