PRODUCTS
While Dometic endeavors to display the details of each Product on the Website accurately, errors may occur (e.g. for technical reasons, such as network failures, errors in transmission, etc.). For this reason, information on the Website regarding the details of a Product is included as a guide only and we make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity, or timeliness of any listings, descriptions, or images for any Products available on the Website (including any features and specifications such as weights and sizes). Such information and the availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change at any time without notice. If you are uncertain about the details of any Product, please contact us at https://www.dometic.com/en-us/outdoor/contact-us.

 

ORDERING PRODUCTS
After selecting your desired Product(s), you may place an order for them by proceeding through and completing the checkout process as directed on the Website. By completing the checkout process and submitting your payment information, you make Dometic an offer to purchase the Products in your order pursuant to these Terms of Sale and agree to pay Dometic for such Products if and when Dometic accepts your offer.

After completing the checkout process and submitting your order, we will send you an email acknowledging your order and detailing the Products you have ordered. Please store your order number and date for future reference. The order acknowledgement confirms that Dometic has received your order, but does not constitute Dometic’s acceptance of your order.

Once we process and accept your order, we will send you an email or text message confirming your order (the “Order Confirmation”). The Order Confirmation constitutes our acceptance of your order and, upon your receipt of the Order Confirmation, your order becomes a binding contract between you and Dometic, governed by these Terms of Sale. You are deemed to have received the Order Confirmation on the date we send the email to the address you provide with your order.

You may cancel or update your order up until Dometic has sent you the Order Confirmation, so please contact us if the order acknowledgement appears incomplete or incorrect. You may not modify or cancel your order after we send the Order Confirmation. If an Order Confirmation differs from your order in any way, including with respect to Products, prices, or quantity, you must notify us immediately of the discrepancy and we will, in our discretion, either correct the discrepancy or cancel your order. If you fail to notify us of any discrepancy before we ship your Products, you agree that the terms of our Order Confirmation will apply to your order.

Fulfillment of all orders is subject to availability. If a Product that you have ordered is not in stock (including if the ordered quantity is partially not in stock), we may cancel your order or, where we expect the Product to come back in stock, we may contact you and permit you to maintain your order. In all cases, we explicitly reserve the right not to accept or fulfill your order for any reason.

DELIVERY
We will ship the Products in your order using the shipping method you select during the checkout process. We will endeavor to deliver all Products to the address you provide in your order (your “Delivery Address”) within a reasonable period of time after sending you the Order Confirmation. Shipping and delivery dates, however, are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. If Products are not available within the estimated delivery times or in the ordered quantity, we may notify you through the contact information you provided with your order. If Products are not available in the ordered quantity, you may decide to receive such lower quantity and cancel the remaining ordered quantity or cancel your entire order.

Title and risk of loss in and to the Products will pass to you upon our delivery of the Products to the carrier for shipment. Delivery is deemed completed when the Products are delivered to the Delivery Address. You agree to reimburse us for any additional storage, insurance, shipment, or handling costs that we incur due to your failure to take delivery at your Delivery Address.

PRICES AND PAYMENT
Although Dometic endeavors to ensure that all prices on the Website are accurate, errors may occur. If Dometic discovers an error in the price of Products you have ordered, Dometic will endeavor to inform you and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling the order entirely. We will not be obliged to supply Products at an incorrect price, even if we have already issued an Order Confirmation.

Prices on the Website may not include shipping and handling charges or applicable taxes, which, if applicable, will be communicated to you during the ordering process or included in the Order Confirmation. Prices may change at any time prior to (but not after) our issuance of the Order Confirmation and acceptance of your order. Dometic does not price match with dealers or competitors.

During the checkout process, you will be asked to select a payment method for your order. By specifying a credit card, debit card, online payment account, mobile services account, or other payment method as an applicable payment mechanism in your order, you grant Dometic the right to charge the applicable payment account you provided for all prices, taxes, and any applicable shipping and handling, incurred in connection with your order. We will charge the applicable payment account upon acceptance of your order and will dispatch the Products after we receive payment in full. You represent and warrant that the payment details you provide with your order are valid and correct and that you are an authorized user on the applicable payment account.

GOVERNING LAW

The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms of Sale, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of Illinois as such laws apply to contracts between Illinois residents performed entirely within Illinois, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms of Sale, and the parties hereby disclaim the application thereof.

DISPUTES
You and Dometic agree that any dispute that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to any order or Product, any subsequent use of any Product, or the validity, interpretation, breach, enforcement, or termination of these Terms of Sale, or otherwise relating to Dometic in any way (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

You and we agree that United States federal law including the Federal Arbitration Act, and (to the extent not inconsistent with or pre-empted by federal law) the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of laws principles, will govern all Covered Disputes. Such body of law will apply regardless of your residence or the location of where you use the Products.

Our Arbitration Agreement
You and we agree that these Terms of Sale evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Any Covered Dispute must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (including utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel). We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $5,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You and we agree that the arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. You and we agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, international, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Sale, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Sale is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration. You and we agree that judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. You and we agree that the arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

There are only two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate. First, if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Second, each party will retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the jurisdiction of such courts.

Unless you and we agree otherwise and except as described above with respect to relief sought in small claims court, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree (except as otherwise provided by law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Dometic must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Chicago, Illinois. You and we agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Chicago, Illinois for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
