4. Placing an order

4.1.1 Orders

Your order is an offer to Maeline to buy the product(s) and services listed in your order along with a sales order number. When you place an order to purchase a product and/or service from Maeline, we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order (the “Order Confirmation”). Your receipt of the Order Confirmation only confirms that we have received your order; it does not constitute Maeline’s acceptance of your order or Maeline’s confirmation of our offer to sell. An order is not binding upon Maeline until it is accepted; Maeline must receive payment before it will accept an order. Payment for product(s) ordered is due prior to shipment. Once payment is received and an order is accepted, Maeline will issue an invoice to you and a contract will come into existence between you and us. Maeline may, in its sole discretion, at any time after receiving your order, accept or decline your order for any reason. In addition, Maeline may, in its sole discretion, cancel your order and limit order quantity. Where your order is declined, cancelled or limited, we will inform you of this by appropriate means and you will not be charged. If however, your order is limited or canceled after your credit card has been charged for the purchase, Maeline will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

We may process payment for and ship parts of your order separately.

You consent to receive sales invoices electronically. Electronic invoices will be made available in pdf format in the “your account” area of the Site.

A sales order number will be issued at the Order Confirmation screen just as if you were placing a conventional order, but your credit/debit card will not be charged until your pre-ordered item is in stock and ready to ship. If you purchase an in-stock item with a pre-order item, you will be charged accordingly for the available product and the difference when your pre-ordered item is in stock and ready for shipment. In this instance, two sales order numbers will be issued; one for the in-stock merchandise and one for the pre-ordered merchandise. You will be kept up-to-date via the Site and through standard Order Status emails to your account.

4.1.3. Backorders

We will sometimes allow you to backorder an item that is out of stock. However, these items will be clearly marked with a Backorder button.

If you purchase an in-stock item with a backorder item, you will be charged accordingly for the available product and the difference when your backordered item is in stock and ready for shipment. In this instance, two sales order numbers will be issued; one for the in-stock merchandise and one for the backordered merchandise. You will be kept up-to-date via the Site and through standard Order Status emails to your account.

The fee is paid by the consumer at the time of purchase of the covered product. This fee will be remitted directly to the state by and only applies to orders shipped within California.

The types of products that we are required to collect this recycling fee include cathode ray tubes, cathode ray tube devices, flat panel screens, and other similar video display devices.

Fair Credit Billing Act: You will pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at our online store, subject to the terms of this paragraph. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 for fraudulent charges if you promptly report the unauthorized charge. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using our secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

9.7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the sales transactions between you and Maeline be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Specifically, the validity, interpretation and performance of these Terms shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Except for claims for injunctive relief by either party, you and Maeline agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, in relation to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of these Terms, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in Los Angeles, California or, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or via written submissions alone, and be administered by JAMS under the then current rules of JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services) by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules and such arbitrator shall be independent and impartial.  If the parties fail to agree on the arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days after the initiation of an arbitration hereunder, JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.  The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.  Judgment on any award(s) rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all confidential information, all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by the other party in the proceedings and not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority. The arbitrator shall award all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the prevailing party.  Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SALES TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND MAELINE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND YOU AND MAELINE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PROCEDURES SHALL NOT BE ASSERTED IN NOR APPLY TO ANY ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS.

Finally, you also agree not to bring any legal action, based upon any legal theory including contract, tort, equity or otherwise, against MAELINE that is more than one year after the date of the applicable invoice.

9.8. Waiver

The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of these Terms shall not affect in any way the first party’s right to require such performance at any time thereafter. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms shall not be taken or held by the other party to be a continuing waiver of that provision unless such waiver is made in writing.

9.9. Severability

If any provision contained in these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal, or for any reason unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions and portions of these Terms, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to have the most similar result that is valid and enforceable under applicable California law.

9.10. Third Party Rights

These Terms are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms with the exception of manufacturers and Marketplace Sellers referred to in the Terms – such manufacturers and Marketplace Sellers will only have right to enforce any terms against you (and not against Maeline), including any limitation or exclusion of liability in favor of Maeline under these Terms.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this section 13.10, neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these Terms.

9.11. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with Maeline’s invoice regarding the products and/or services ordered by you, constitute the entire agreement between Maeline and you and supersede all prior or contemporaneous arrangements, proposals, oral or written, understandings, representations, conditions, warranties, and all other communications between Maeline and you relating to the subject matter of any contract to the fullest extent permitted by law.
