You acknowledge that you have verified the compatibility of the Products you are purchasing with other equipment in your home, office or asset. You are solely responsible for determining the compatibility of the Products with other equipment in your home, office or asset and you accept that lack of compatibility is not a valid claim under the warranty provided with your Products and does not otherwise constitute a basis for receiving a refund after the 30-day refund policy described below.
2. Reservations and Pre-Orders.
Products available for reservation and pre-order are not offered for sale by Bondstein. Your placement of a reservation and pre-order does not create a contract for sale.

Bondstein will obtain an authorization from your bank or credit card company for no charge. An authorization from your payment card company may stay open for several days or weeks before a charge is actually made.
You may cancel your offer to purchase Products at any time prior to shipment and you will not be charged. You will receive an email several days prior to the shipment of reserved Products in which you will have an option to cancel your offer and you will not be charged.
Later, when the Product is offered for sale, Bondstein may accept your offer to purchase Products subject to these Terms & Conditions. At that time, Bondstein will capture payment on the payment card you provided and ship your Product. Bondstein may obtain an additional authorization from your payment card company to confirm necessary funds are available to purchase the Products requested.
Bondstein reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order for any reason at any time prior to shipment, including after an order has been submitted, whether or not the order has been confirmed. We may attempt to contact you if all or a portion of your order is cancelled, or if additional information is needed to complete and accept your order.
