The following terms, together with the Privacy Policy which is incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the Services.

You will need to provide certain registration details or other information to access the Services or some of the resources it offers. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide on the Services is correct, current, and complete.

Spalon makes no representation that the information or materials on or linked through the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in their respective location in doing so.

You shall not use the Services for any purposes beyond the scope of the access granted by these Terms of Use.

We reserve the right to terminate access to the Services at any time, for any reason. We may take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.

Intellectual Property Ownership

You acknowledge that, as between you and Spalon, Spalon owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Services and, with respect to third-party products, the applicable third-party owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the third-party products, trademarks, images, and related designs.

Spalon names and logos and all related product and service names, design marks and slogans are the trademarks or service marks of Spalon. All rights are reserved. You are not authorized to use any Spalon name or mark in any advertisement, publicity or in any other commercial manner without prior written consent of Spalon. All other trademarks, trade dress, images, photographs, and other works appearing in connection with the Services are the property of their respective owners.

The entire contents and design of the Services are protected by U.S. and international copyright law. All rights regarding the Services and materials contained on the Services are either owned by Spalon, are licensed to it, or are used with permission. Spalon and its licensors, vendors or other service providers retain and reserve all proprietary rights to the contents of the Services.

Updates

We may from time to time in our sole discretion develop and provide Services updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that we have no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality.

Product Listings

Prices and availability of products are subject to change without notice. Spalon strives for accuracy, to the extent it controls, processes, or displays the Services, in all item descriptions, photographs images, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links and any other product-related information contained herein or referenced in the Services. Due to system, typographical, informational, technical, human, and other error, we cannot and do not guarantee that all information, including descriptions, photographs images, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links, availability and any other product-related information listed is accurate, complete or current, nor do we assume responsibility for these errors. Spalon reserves the right at any time and without notice to update product information and to correct or remove product-related errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. Spalon shall at its sole discretion have the right at any time to refuse or cancel any order for a product whose listing in the Services contained erroneous information, including but not limited to incorrect pricing. If such order is canceled after your payment card has been charged for the purchase, Spalon will issue a credit to your payment card in the amount of the charge.

Spalon is not responsible for changes or variations in product specifications or physical appearance. Unfortunately there are varying determinates which, although infrequent, could cause the information in the Services to become outdated without our immediate knowledge. This includes but is not limited to new versions or revisions, color deviations, retail package alterations and other variations that may be considered inconsequential by the manufacturer. Spalon relies on the manufacturer to communicate these differences. Presently we have no way of alerting customers prior to purchase in the event the manufacturer fails to do so. Consequently, Spalon will not be held responsible for product revision changes.

Customer Content

The Services allow you to upload, post or share information, text, data, photographs, and other content (collectively, “Customer Content”), including through reviews or other forums. In uploading, posting or sharing such Customer Content, you grant Spalon and its affiliated entities a non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, access, view, store, and/or download Customer Content, and post or forward Customer Content to others, for the purpose of providing you the Services or any other use described in our Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that:

You own or control all rights in and to the Customer Content and have the right to grant the license granted above to us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns.
All of your Customer Content does and will comply with these Terms of Use.

You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any Customer Content you submit or contribute, and you, not Spalon, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness.

Spalon is not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any Customer Content posted by you or any other user of the Services.

The following content standards apply to any and all Customer Content and use of the Services. Customer Content must in its entirety comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer Content must not:

Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property or other rights of any other person.

Transactions

We may make available the ability to purchase or otherwise obtain access to the Services (“Transaction”).

You can make payment by credit or other payment card method. Your total cost for purchase of any product will include the shipping and handling charges shown on the order invoice. Your original shipping fees are non-refundable.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit or payment card or other payment mechanism that you submit in connection with a Transaction and that you have all authority necessary to enter into the Transaction. By submitting such information, you grant Spalon the right to provide such information to third parties for the purposes of facilitating the Transaction. Verification of information may be required prior to the completion of any Transaction. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that Spalon is not responsible for how any third-party credit card or other payment method processor transmits, stores, uses or shares your information.

While Spalon tries to meet any order processing or shipping times displayed on the Website, Spalon does not make any guarantees regarding shipping or order processing times. Spalon is not responsible for shipping delays outside of its control (such as carrier delays). Spalon will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify customers (such as through a website banner, on social media, or via email) in the event it becomes aware of a delay in shipping due to Spalon’s operations, but does not guarantee notice.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.

The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future.
