After placing an order, you will receive an order receipt confirmation email from us acknowledging that we have received your order.

After receiving your full payment, in accordance with the PAYMENT TERMS section below, we will send a payment receipt email notifying you of the receipt of your payments. We reserve the right to cancel your order if we fail to receive your payments in the period specified by us and communicated to you.

All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you a shipping confirmation email confirming the shipment of your order.

Your order will only be accepted by us and a contract will only be formed with us when we send you the shipping confirmation. The contract will relate only to those services (if applicable) as specified and confirmed in the shipping confirmation and those products whose shipment we have confirmed in the shipping confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products or services which may have been part of your order but are not included in the shipping confirmation.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights granted by law which vary from country to country.

WARRANTY SERVICE
During the Warranty Period, we will undertake to repair, or based on our sole discretion, to replace a defective part/component of the product or a defective product by an identical or similar (e.g. newer) version of the part/component of the product or the product, unless the defect falls under the warranty limitations (set out above).

Upon issuance of the RMA, we will request and you will provide a USD$100 deposit for all return shipping costs to process your warranty service. If the return shipping cost is less than USD$100, the remainder of the deposit will be transferred back to you. If the return shipping cost is more than USD$100, an invoice with the total return shipping fees will be sent to you and you will pay for such additional costs (over USD$100) before the product will be returned back to you.
  3. ePIC reserves the right to repair or replace your product with another of similar condition in its sole discretion.
