TERMS OF SALE in PLAIN LANGUAGE
This site is designed for business customers who operate businesses or services
and subject to customary business practices and restrictions.

The placement of an order is acceptance of these Terms and conditions.
Under penalty of perjury the act of ordering or purchasing affirms that:

Domestic Shipping schedules via UPS

UPS picks up and delivers packages Monday thru Friday.

Saturday, Sunday and Holiday delivery is an option at additional cost but must be specifically requested. Call to confirm if it is important.

There is no shipping on Saturday, Sunday or Holidays though you can get packages on those days at UPS Holiday Rates.

Freezing temperatures
can cause problems for liquids so please place your order so that it is not in transit in freezing conditions especially over a weekend or holiday. 

Also if snow, ice or extreme weather may cause poor road conditions allow an extra day or days.

How to figure transit time if there are weather related issues.
If, for example, you choose 2 day, (2^nd day after the day of shipment) and cold temperatures are a concern, place your order no later than Wednesday for delivery Friday to avoid storage in a warehouse over the weekend.

With your cooperation we can get your order to you safely during cold weather.

Jewelry and Piercing Tool Prices

Wholesale jewelry prices, piercing tools and piercing supply prices are for businesses and professionals who buy in bulk, not one-zies and two-zies and require a re-sale business certificate to be exempt from Sales Tax in state. 

Unimax does not collect sales tax on out-of-state purchases.

Retail walk-in retail customers for in-store pick-up are required to pay the in-store retail prices displayed for retail purchasers or pick-up. Prices on the web site are for businesses buying in bulk. Retail walk-in customers cannot pay wholesale prices for the same reason that restaurants don't charge supermarket food prices for a restaurant meal.


Purchases affirm that
1. All items purchased are for legal use, and will be used in a manner that is consistent with
normal practices in the industry ( Unimax reserves the right to refuse sales if in an unbiased  judgment the use is deemed inappropriate.)

2. As purchaser you declare under penalty of perjury that you are legally old enough to purchase and use the items in accordance with all applicable laws in your location.

--eedles and items that become contaminated require proof that those items will be used according to industry practices.  Proof might include: legal business paper, medically trained individuals, apprentices and sponsorships to name a few.

Though you do not necessarily need a license to purchase, no clubs to join, no associations, no unions, no secret societies and no dues, the products are designed for businesses and professionals.

3. Purchaser agrees not to return, charge back, or dispute without contacting us first for a resolution.
 

International Orders
Important information to understand the relationship
between buyer and seller.

The ICC defines the buyer's responsibility as follows:

THE BUYERS OBLIGATION
The buyer is responsible at their own risk and expense to obtain any import
licenses required and fulfill all official requirements in the importing country
including customs formalities and fees.

It is not the responsibility of the seller (Unimax) to have that information nor determine the
interpretation of foreign laws and regulations.

In the event of non-delivery:
the buyer is responsible to assume the cost for
1) the original transportation charges
2) the return transportation charges, which are usually twice the cost of the
original transportation charges.
3) abandonment charges in lieu of return fees may be applied.

Sometimes it is 3 times the original cost of shipping depending on the penalties and fees imposed by your country's customs. 

Be sure you can accept your package.
 

Include your name and address and phone with country code (required).
Review the laws in your country that may prevent you from
receiving or accepting the contents of your order.
 

Notice about international electric compatibilities.
Electronic equipment rated as 110-115 and 220-240v
will work on the voltages listed, but the final plug that fits
into your country's wall socket may not be compatible. You may
have to buy that end piece to fit your outlet.
 

Notice about Taxes, VAT and Import Duties.
It is your responsibility to check with your taxing authorities
to see what if any duties will be imposed on your goods
by your taxing authorities. It is not our responsibility and we cannot advise if charges
are applicable.

There are no international COD's.
Wire transfer payments in US Dollars directly to our bank.

You are liable for shipping charges both ways when
a shipment is returned to us after we ship it.
Some examples:
- Your "Customs" refuses to allow items into the country.
- You made an error in the address and you didn't get your package.
- The carrier (for example: postal) says the address is not complete enough to make delivery.
- You did not claim or pick up your package. Their word is considered final so track your shipment during transit. You will have the tracking information.
- The shipment is returned to us without any explanation.
- Some countries may refuse entry of artist supplies.
- Some countries charge huge import duties or hold your order for ransom.
If in doubt: CHECK - CHECK - CHECK
This is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

We will replace only up to the Value of Insurance for any package lost.
If a package is insured below replacement value because you want to save shipping costs, you will only get the amount of refund up to the insurance coverage.
