Errors on the MPI Sites
MPI shall have no responsibility for errors of any kind on the MPI Sites or any Linked Website. Errors may include incorrect product and service descriptions, incorrect information regarding the availability of specific products, typographical errors and obsolete information, with the result that product and service descriptions, information regarding product availability, pricing information and the descriptions of promotional offers or other data may not be complete, current or accurate. In addition, errors may result when honoring a request or order placed by you if such request or order is based on incorrect information. MPI reserves the right to update or change information and correct any errors, inaccuracies, or other errors at any time.
A customer’s sole and exclusive remedy if an item purchased by the customer from the MPI Sites does not fulfill the description set forth on the MPI Sites is to return the item, in an unused condition, to MPI for a refund of the purchase price and, in MPI’s sole discretion, the shipping costs paid by customer. Customer, however, is responsible for shipping costs to return the unwanted item to MPI. Because actual colors and the “look and feel” you see on the MPI Sites will depend on your monitor and other technical factors, MPI cannot guarantee that any video display of any product information or other data will be accurate at any time.
The price of each product and service will only be confirmed by MPI upon the submission of an order by a customer. Prices provided on the MPI Sites are subject to change without notice and do not include shipping and handling or any applicable sales taxes or customs duties. In the event MPI discovers an error of any kind in pricing or product and service information, MPI reserves the right to, in MPI’s sole discretion, (i) cancel any order related to such pricing or product and services information error, (ii) before shipping the product to or performing the service for customer, notify the customer of the error, and await the customer’s instructions as to whether or not the customer wishes to proceed with the order in light of the error, or (iii) if a pricing error is involved, and a pricing error favors the customer, ship the product to customer at the incorrect price to the customer’s benefit. Products and services described on the MPI Sites are available only while supplies last, and MPI reserves the right to discontinue the offering or sale of any product or service at any time, without notice.
