We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current.

Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.

Crucially, all product information, including pricing, availability, and descriptions displayed on our website, will always precisely match the data submitted to Google Merchant Center and any advertised prices on Google Shopping ads or listings.

We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time.

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Section 16 – Termination

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us.
