Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using our website or placing an order. By accessing or using frankmercer.com (the "Site") or purchasing any products from Frank Mercer ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Site or purchase any products.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the Site in any manner, including placing an order, creating an account, or subscribing to communications, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Return & Exchange Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with Section 17 below.

You represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater. If you are under eighteen (18), you may use the Site only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.

2. Account Registration

You may be required to create an account to access certain features of the Site. When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate and complete.
  • Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials and not share them with any third party.
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

You must notify us immediately at 581-349-4295 if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is harmful to the Company, other users, or third parties.

3. Products and Orders

3.1 Product Descriptions

We make reasonable efforts to display the colors, features, specifications, and details of our products as accurately as possible. However, we do not guarantee that your monitor's or device's display of any color, texture, or detail will be accurate. All product descriptions, images, and other content on the Site are for informational purposes and do not constitute a warranty or guarantee of any kind.

3.2 Pricing

All prices are listed in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors, whether on the Site, in an order confirmation, or otherwise. In the event of a pricing error, we may cancel the order and issue a full refund, or contact you with the corrected price and give you the option to proceed or cancel.

Prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping charges, or handling fees, which will be calculated and displayed at checkout.

3.3 Order Acceptance

Your placement of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to: product availability, errors in product or pricing information, suspected fraud or unauthorized transactions, or orders that appear to be placed by resellers or distributors.

An order confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order. Acceptance occurs only when the product has shipped and you have received a shipping confirmation from us. If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.

3.4 Order Limitations

We reserve the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household, or per order. We may also restrict sales to certain geographic regions. These restrictions may be applied without prior notice.

4. Payment

We accept the payment methods indicated at checkout. By submitting payment information, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are authorized to use the payment method provided; (b) the payment information you supply is true, correct, and complete; and (c) you authorize us to charge the total order amount, including applicable taxes and shipping, to your designated payment method.

All payments are processed through third-party payment processors. We do not store credit card or debit card numbers on our servers. Your use of any third-party payment service is subject to that provider's terms and conditions.

If your payment method is declined or fails for any reason, we may cancel your order. We are not responsible for any fees charged by your financial institution in connection with our processing of your payment.

5. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping timelines provided at checkout or in confirmation emails are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Title to and risk of loss for all products passes to you upon delivery of the product to the carrier. We are not liable for any loss, damage, or delay once the product has been delivered to the shipping carrier.

We currently ship within the United States. International shipping availability, if any, will be indicated at checkout.

6. Returns and Exchanges

All returns and exchanges are governed by our Return & Exchange Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By placing an order, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in that policy, including the 14-day return window, product condition requirements, $15.00 restocking fee, and return procedures described therein.

14.2 Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and Frank Mercer agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any products purchased through the Site (collectively, "Disputes") that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this section. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in a location mutually agreed upon or, if no agreement can be reached, in the county in which you reside.

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including but not limited to disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.

14.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND FRANK MERCER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, MULTI-PARTY, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Frank Mercer agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

14.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights. Claims in small claims court, where applicable, are also excluded from the arbitration requirement, provided the claim remains in small claims court and is pursued on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

14.5 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of this Section 14 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Frank Mercer, Attn: Legal, [Street Address], [City, State, ZIP Code], within thirty (30) days of your first purchase from the Site or your first use of the Site, whichever is earlier. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement in these Terms. If you opt out, neither you nor Frank Mercer will be required to arbitrate Disputes, and all Disputes will be resolved in court as set forth in Section 15.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, and any Dispute between you and Frank Mercer, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to its conflict of law principles.

To the extent that litigation is permitted under these Terms (including if you opt out of arbitration), you and Frank Mercer agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY], [STATE], and you waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and any objection to venue in such courts.

16. Electronic Communications and E-Sign Consent
