Terms and Conditions

Trust Tech Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions (“T&C”) governs the legal relationship between Trust Tech, LLC (“Company”) and all Company clients (“Clients”).  Every accepted Quote (“Order”) issued by Company includes and is subject to these T&C.  Each Order, supporting documents (if any) and these T&C shall constitute the agreement between the parties (“Agreement”). 

I. SCOPE.

An Order may contain terms for the sale of Products, use of Software and/or the providing of Services by Company.

1. Products.

All sales of products and finished goods by Company to Client shall be pursuant to the following standard terms and conditions. Products may include, but are not limited to hardware products, and other items, all as further outlined in a Quote (collectively “Products”). All Orders for Products are made pursuant to, and are incorporated into, the Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, Client shall be responsible for the installation and configuration of Products.

  1. Product Descriptions. Company does not warrant that Product descriptions or other content of any Product is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Client agrees to verify all Product information and specifications with the manufacturer of said Products prior to purchasing any Product from Company.  Any request to return a Product shall be subject to the Product Returns policy.
  2. Orders.  To place an Order with Company, Client must provide Company with Client’s name, shipping address, billing address, telephone number, payment information, and any other information required by Company.  Each Order shall be automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement and all Products shall be provided subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order.  Client consents to transact Order(s) electronically. Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time after receiving Client’s Order, accept or decline Client’s Order for any reason. In addition, Company may, in its sole discretion, cancel Client’s Order and limit Order quantity. Where Client’s Order is declined, cancelled or limited, Company will inform Client of the same by appropriate means and Client will not be charged. If, however, Client’s Order is limited or canceled by Company after Client’s payment has been processed for the purchase, Company will issue a refund in the amount of the charge.  Company reserves the right to process payment for and ship portions of each Order separately.
  3. Third-Party Vendors.  Company may, in its sole discretion, fulfill Orders through third-party vendors (“TPV”).  In such instances, Company is the seller of record; however, Product(s) are sold, shipped, fulfilled and otherwise processed by a TPV.  Where Company utilizes a TPV, each TPV, and not Company, is solely responsible for fulfilling, processing and delivering the Order to Client and bears all liability and risks associated with, or related to, any Product that is sold and shipped by that TPV that is purchased by Client through the Company.  Client agrees and acknowledges that Client will be bound by additional terms and conditions mandated by TPVs and that it is Client’s responsibility to actively familiarize itself with such terms and conditions.  Client agrees and acknowledges  that cancellation and renewal terms vary from one TPV to another, and that Client is solely responsible for any fees associated with any renewal or cancellation for the entire term of the applicable billing period.  Client shall not modify, reverse engineer, or disassemble any Product in any way, except as expressly permitted by the terms for such Product.
  4. Shipping.  Client is responsible for, and must pay, all shipping, handling, and insurance charges.  Risk of loss and title to any Products passes to Client upon delivery of the Products to Client’s designated shipping point.  Client’s total cost for the purchase of any Product will include the shipping and handling charges shown on the Order. Client’s original shipping fees are non-refundable in the case of a returned Product. Said fees are paid for the services provided by and to the original carrier and will not be refunded to Client if any Product is returned for a refund to Company.  Company will arrange for shipment of ordered Product(s) to Client, and risk of loss, delay, or damage to the Product(s) shall pass to Client upon delivery to the carrier. Title to the Product(s) – excepting Software – shall also pass to Client upon delivery to the carrier. Company will advise Client of estimated shipping dates, but Company will, under no circumstances, be responsible for delays in delivery, and associated damages, due to events beyond its reasonable control.
  5. Client Inspection.  Client must immediately inspect all Products for damage and for conformity with the Order. If Client does not provide Company with written notice of any damage to Product(s) or non-conformity with the Order within three (3) calendar days of receipt of the Product(s), Client will have accepted the Product(s) and any and all defects and non-conformities are waived by Client.  Acceptance by Client of custom-designed Products provided by Company constitutes an acknowledgment that Client has reviewed the designs for such Products and is satisfied that the design meets all specifications, requirements, and standards applicable to such Products. In the event Client provides notice of damage or non-conformity, such notice must describe any damage or other non-conformity in reasonable detail, and Client must afford Company a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Products. No Products will be taken back and credited or replaced unless arrangements for return have been made with Company.
  6. Product Returns.  New, unopened, and unused Products in their original packaging may be available for returns, refunds, or exchanges subject to each Product’s manufacturer’s return policies.  Opened Products cannot be returned, refunded, or exchanged.  For any return-related inquiries, Client must contact Company using the contact information provided on the Order

If Client terminates its use of any Software prior to the expiration of the Software Term for that Software, Client remains responsible for all remaining charges for that Software Term throughout the Software Term.  Software will renew automatically for an additional renewal term in accordance with the corresponding Supplemental Terms, unless Client cancels the Software in accordance with the Supplemental Terms.
  7. Fees and Charges.  Client agrees to pay Company the fees and charges for the Software as outlined in the Order. If Client exceeds the usage limits applicable to the Software, Client agrees to pay for the fees and charges for such additional usage. For any extension of a Software Term or the provisioning of a Software upgrade, the then-current price will apply, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by authorized representatives of the Parties.  Company may change the fees and charges for the Software from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion. Company will notify Client of any such changes by sending notice by e-mail or regular mail. License keys have cash value. If any license keys associated with an Order or the use of the Software are lost or used, none of the license keys associated with that Order or that Software will be eligible for return or refund, unless otherwise agreed by the TPV.
  8. Restrictions on Use.  The Software may only be used for lawful purposes.  The license granted to Client is limited to the specific number of users or instances specified in the Quote.  Client shall not, and shall not permit any third party to: (i) copy, modify, translate, make media translations, adapt or create derivative works based on the Software; (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, modify, merge, separate, disassemble or make any attempt to discover the source code of any part of the Software; (iii) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Software to any third party; (iv) use the Software in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation; or (v) use the Software in any manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement.  If Client comes into possession of any source code for any Software, that is not generally provided by the Licensor as part of the Software, Client will not use or disclose the source code in any way and will immediately deliver all copies of such source code to Company.  Use of the Software, and any additional restrictions thereto, are provided by the Supplemental Terms.
