NBS obtains certain data directly from the manufacturer, publisher or supplier of Products and is not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors in any such data. In addition, availability of third party Product is subject to change without notice. NBS reserves the right to cancel orders related to such errors or Product discontinuation or unavailability, and to correct the Website at any time, including pricing errors not detected until after NBS's confirmation or e-mail response.
Prices/Payment Terms. Your order is subject to review and acceptance by NBS.

Nautalex requires a purchase order along with a 50% deposit prior to any product or service delivery. The balance is due and payable within the time frame and in the currency specified on the invoice, measured from the date of invoice. Titles to all products remain with Nautalex until full payment has been received. Liability is limited to the system value. Please allow two to four weeks delivery on most orders. Due to the ever-changing nature of the computer industry, some products may become unobtainable without prior notice. Should this occur, Nautalex reserves the right to substitute models, in which event we will inform you of the changes and work with you to select the best alternative.
You agree to pay the total purchase price for the Products, plus any related taxes, environmental recycling fees (where applicable) and shipping (to the extent shipping is not prepaid by you), including shipping charges billed to NBS as a result of using your carrier account number or a carrier selected by you. Invoices are due and payable within the time frame and in the currency specified on the invoice, measured from the date of invoice. Where invoices are paid in a currency other than that specified on the invoice, you agree to remit payment to NBS for any losses incurred upon conversion of any payments received which result in a short-payment of such invoices. You agree to pay interest on all past-due amounts at the lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per annum), or the maximum rate allowed by law. You will be responsible for NBS's costs of collection for any payment default, including, but not limited to, court costs, filing fees and legal fees. In addition, if payments are not received as described above, NBS reserves the right to suspend further deliveries until payment is received.
Credits. You must expend or apply any credits issued to you by NBS for any reason within two years from the date the credit is issued. If not used within such period, credits will automatically expire.*
Taxes. Federal, provincial and local sales, use and excise taxes and all similar taxes, environmental recycling fees and duties, (excluding taxes based on NBS's income, assets or net worth), as well as any customs or duties, are solely your responsibility. You may provide NBS a tax exemption certificate, which will be subject to review and acceptance by NBS.
Delivery/Title/Risk of Loss. NBS will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet requested delivery times but does not guarantee delivery by a stated time and is not responsible for any damages due to delays or the failure to meet a stated delivery schedule. NBS reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle you to cancel other installments. Product will be delivered to you FOB Origin (NBS's facility or the facility of any of NBS's suppliers who drop ship direct), freight prepaid and added.** Title and risk of loss shall pass to you when Product is delivered to the transportation carrier. NBS is not responsible for insuring shipments, nor for any loss or damages to Product during shipment, and recommends you obtain insurance for shipments. Title and risk of loss for such shipments shall pass upon delivery at the requested delivery destination. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, title to software Product remains with the applicable licensor(s), and your rights and obligations related to software are contained in the license agreement between you and the licensor(s).

Limited Warranty. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW:
PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED, PUBLISHED OR PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY BY NBS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NBS shall pass through to you, to the extent available, any manufacturer's/publisher's/supplier's written warranties associated with third party Products purchased from NBS. Although third-party services and support are considered "Product" and you may purchase such services through NBS, NBS is not obligated to provide the services or support. NBS accepts no liability for any claims arising out of any act or omission, including negligence, by your third-party service provider; and any amounts associated with third party services, including but not limited to taxes, will be collected solely in our capacity as an independent reseller of such Product.
PRODUCT CODES BEGINNING WITH "IVC" (NBS VALUE CENTER) ARE SOLD "AS IS." IVC Products have been previously opened and/or the box has been damaged. IVC Products are not offered or sold as "new." The manufacturer's or publisher's warranty, if any, will apply and provide the sole coverage for such IVC Products. You must look to the manufacturer, publisher or supplier of third party Products for recovery on any claim of liability and will hold NBS harmless from any claim of negligence or breach of warranty.
PRODUCTS PRODUCED SOLELY BY NBS ("NBS PRODUCT") ARE PROVIDED WITH ONLY THOSE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE NBS PRODUCT SPECIFICATION. In addition to any non-excludable statutory remedies, your sole remedy and NBS’s sole obligation for breach of this warranty will be reasonable efforts to correct any non-conformance or, if this cannot be accomplished, then NBS will issue you a credit for, or a refund of, the purchase price and original freight paid for the NBS Product.
Disclaimer of Warranty. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, LEGAL, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.

Termination.

Cancellation of orders following shipment must be made in accordance with the return policies of the manufacturer, publisher or supplier of the Product.
