    Terms of Sale

    These Terms of Sale govern your purchase of any product offered by Topbulb.com on www.topbulb.com. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully. They contain very important information about your rights and obligations, as well as limitations and exclusions that may apply to you. By placing an order, you acknowledge you have read, accepted and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Sale, without limitation or qualifications. These Terms of Sale are subject to modification at any time without prior written notice and in the sole discretion of Topbulb.com.

    PRODUCTS

    Topbulb.com may discontinue any product at any time without notice. The product prices displayed on Topbulb.com do not include shipping and handling or sales taxes, if applicable, which will be added to your total invoice price.

    PRICE ERRORS

    Our goal is a 100% error-free Web site. If product price errors are discovered, they are promptly corrected on our systems, and the corrected price will apply. We will notify you if your order includes items that were incorrectly priced.

    VALUE BRAND PRODUCTS

    The term "Value Brand" is used on Topbulb.com for all items meeting or exceeding the specifications as listed on the respective Product Detail page. Value Brand items are manufactured by numerous companies whose company names may or may not be recognizable "brand names" to the consumer. The trademarks and/or trade names of the brand name companies referenced in the Product Display page are used only to compare products of similar characteristics. Orders for Value Brand products may contain items manufactured by two or more companies.

    ORDERS

    Orders are not binding upon Topbulb.com until accepted. Topbulb.com reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any item and/or refuse service to any customer. Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of any order.

    PAYMENT

    Payment can be made via MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Your credit card will be charged when your order is shipped in US dollars. Topbulb.com also accepts purchase orders from customers who have received Topbulb.com credit approval. To apply for Topbulb.com credit, please call 800.867.2852, or visit our Term Customer Application page. For customers who purchase on open account, Topbulb.com reserves the right to add to your monthly balance a service charge of 1.5% per month (18% annual rate) on all amounts unpaid on the first day of the 2nd month following purchase. If the account is placed with a third party for collection, buyer agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable attorneys fees, in addition to the service charges stated above. Topbulb.com reserves the right to revoke credit extensions and close credit accounts for those customers who do not maintain the minimum purchase volume or who do not pay within the assigned payment terms. Closing credit accounts or revoking credit extensions is standard practice for Topbulb.com for customers with slow payment history. All Topbulb.com customers are strongly advised to remit payments according to the payment terms assigned in order to maintain an open account status.

    SALES TAX

    You are responsible for the payment of any state and local sales or use taxes that may apply to your order. The sales tax is calculated based on the full invoice price, and may include charges for shipping and handling, if required by law.

    DELIVERY

    If you order by 3 p.m. Central Standard Time, the in-stock items ordered will be shipped that day (Monday through Friday delivery days) via ground transportation to most locations. Upgraded shipping services (Next Day, 2nd Day) are available at an additional charge. Topbulb.com may select an alternative shipper depending on the size and weight of your item. In the event only some of the product is in stock at the time an order is placed, the available product will be shipped via the upgraded service and the backorder will ship via Ground service when stock is replenished. While Topbulb.com will make every reasonable effort to ship your orders within these time frames, Topbulb.com is not responsible or liable for any delay in receiving or completing your order that is caused by an event beyond Topbulb.com's reasonable control. Such events may include, but are not limited to, fire, flood, accident, strike, riot, civil commotion, act of God, war or other hostilities, acts or omissions of carriers, transmitters, phone companies, Internet Service Providers or Internet backbone providers or a failure, interruption or delay of the server or this Web site caused by an event outside the direct control of Topbulb.com, including without limitation, power outages or attacks on this Web site such as by persons known as "hackers."

    INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS

    Topbulb.com will ship to addresses within the contiguous United States for a shipping charge of $9.75. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, other US Territories, Canada, and Mexico will be arranged and additional shipping charges will apply. For customers seeking to have products delivered to all other countries, Topbulb.com will ship via DHL, UPS, FedEx or through a U.S.-based "Freight Forwarder" of the customer's choosing. Additional shipping charges will apply. The customer is responsible for payment of taxes, duties, tariffs and any other charges levied by government agencies. Payment must be made in full using a credit card or bank transfer at the time of shipment. Title and risk of loss of the products pass to the customer upon delivery at the "Freight Forwarder."

    SHIPPING & HANDLING (S&H) CHARGES

    A S&H charge applies to all orders. Additional S&H charges will apply to orders shipped outside the 48 contiguous states. In the event only some of the product is in stock at the time an order is placed, the available product will be shipped via the upgraded service and the backorder will ship via Ground service when stock is replenished. S&H charges, along with any charged Freight, are non-refundable in occurrences where Topbulb.com has made no error in merchandizing or shipping. For heavy/oversized packages the shipping charges may vary. We will contact you with the charge prior to shipping your order.

    LARGE QUANTITY ORDERS

    We provide quantity price breaks for many products, but if your order is above the break we show on the site and/or you are ordering significant quantities of several items, you might be entitled to a larger price break.
