Terms and Conditions of Sale
1. Offer and Acceptance
Scion Plasma Store is owned and operated by Scion Plasma LLC. All sales made through the Scion Plasma Store (“Seller”) are subject to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. By placing an order, the buyer (“Buyer”) agrees to be bound by these Terms. Product listings, prices, and availability on the Store constitute an offer by Seller to sell the listed items. Acceptance occurs when payment is processed and an order confirmation is issued.
Buyer represents and warrants that all purchases are for Buyer’s own internal use and will not be resold, transferred, or exported without Seller’s prior written consent and in full compliance with all applicable export control laws and regulations.
2. Payment
Payment in full is required at the time of purchase unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller. Accepted payment methods are listed at checkout. Orders for back-ordered (not in stock), custom, or made-to-order products will not be processed until payment terms (including any required deposits) are confirmed by Seller in writing.
3. Shipment
Products in stock will be shipped promptly upon receipt of full payment. For products not in stock, Seller will notify Buyer of the back-fabrication timeline, and shipment will proceed only after Buyer confirms the order. For made-to-order or custom products, production will begin upon acceptance of the quote and receipt of any required deposit or payment. Seller will provide an estimated delivery timeline.
4. Cancellation
All orders are “no cancel/no return” unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller. If Seller agrees in writing to the cancellation of an order, Seller shall refund Buyer no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the full purchase price.
5. Limited Warranty & Safety
Seller warrants that products will conform to Seller’s published or quoted specifications and be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for twelve (12) months from the date of shipment. This warranty excludes products that have been misused, modified, improperly installed, damaged by accident or neglect, operated outside specified conditions, or repaired by anyone other than Seller or its authorized service providers. Consumable parts and normal wear are excluded from warranty coverage. Products are intended for professional and research use only and must be installed and operated by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable safety standards.
Seller’s sole obligation, and Buyer’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to:
(a) Seller’s repair or replacement of the defective or nonconforming product, or
(b) Seller’s refund to Buyer of the amount paid for that product.
Seller has sole discretion to determine whether to repair, replace, or refund. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs unless otherwise agreed in writing.
