Terms and Conditions
Shipping
I ship via US Mail or UPS. I time order packaging to align with US Mail pickup time at my place of business. Usually this means your package enters the US Mail system within 24 hours of order placement. Time from order to shipment can be longer on days the US Mail system is closed (Sundays and US holidays).
Country-specific import duties, value added taxes, delivery fees, or other costs that are not included in the price of the US Mail postage or UPS shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. International (non USA) orders default to US Mail (GlobalPost),
Returns & Exchanges
I take returns and offer exchanges on current products. When I transition to an upgraded product version I continue to support the prior product for a grace period (typically 6 months) just like a current product for return or exchange. After the grace period exchanges will continue to be offered until inventory of the retired prior product is exhausted. The warranty period for (c)2018 and earlier boards has expired.
Specifics on returns:
- Exchanges: Customer pays return shipping and I pay the cost to ship the replacement. Exchanges must be pre-arranged for authorization (otherwise I may not know whether a board arriving in my mail delivery is an exchange or return).
- Returns/refunds: Customer pays return shipping. A processing fee of up to 10% may be held from a refund of returned products. Additionally, postage expended and transaction processing fees (PayPal, Pinside, Stripe or Square) cannot be refunded. Returns should be pre-arranged for to ensure the return process matches expectations.
- Self Assembly Kits: Unfortunately assembled or partially assembled products sold as kits cannot be returned or exchanged.
Importantly, I don't re-sell returned products as new product so you are not getting somebody else's return when you buy my boards.
My boards are high quality designs and well tested. Returns for problems have proven to be exremely rare.
Private Communications
I welcome customer and potential customer communications via email or selling platform messages (my products are available through eBay and Pinside marketplaces). These messages are private communications. I will not post private communications in whole or in part in any public, semi-public forum, or redistribute via other channels. Customers and potential customers agree to abide by the same - recognizing these messages as private communications and not retransmitting the communications in whole or in part in any public, semi-public forum, or via other channels.
Privacy Policy
Hey, KAHR.US Circuits is just me - Rob... I'm not very private about that. I do not retain customer information. I do not send bulk emails to past customers. I do not complain in public about private business.
