    1. Purchase Qualifications; Account Security

       To purchase a product or subscription related to the Services, you must be a registered EGO User and comply with these Terms of Use. You acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining the security of, and restricting access to, your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all purchases and other activities that occur under your account. EGO sells its products only to those users who can legally make purchases using one of the accepted payment methods. If you are under 18, you may make purchases on EGO only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. EGO reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders or terminate accounts, at any time in its sole discretion.

    2. Payment Method and Terms

       We accept payments made through PayPal and Xsolla in connection with the purchase of any merchandise or subscription through the Services. By submitting an order through EGO, you authorize EGO, or its designated payment processor, to charge the account you specify for the purchase amount. All payments are to be made in United States Dollars.

    3. Delivery

       Any tangible property purchased through the Services will be shipped FOB Shipping Point. Title to such products passes from EGO to you upon shipment. With respect to products or services you purchase through the Services, you acknowledge and agree that upon making such purchases available to you (or to their intended authorized recipients), EGO will have fully satisfied its obligation to deliver or otherwise provide such services, regardless of any failure or inability to use such services.

    4. Product and Service Descriptions and Availability, Errors

       EGO and its suppliers continually upgrade and revise its products and services to provide you with new products and services. EGO may revise, discontinue or modify products or services at any time without prior notice to customers, and products or services may become unavailable without notice. EGO shall have no liability of any kind if a product or service that has been ordered is unavailable. If necessary, EGO reserves the right to substitute items of equal or greater value when an item or service is unavailable or EGO may cancel the order.

       We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors on the Services, however we do not warrant that any product, service or description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the Services, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or service or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. In addition, we may, in lieu of a refund as provided in this paragraph, opt to provide you with a merchandise or service credit, with a value at least equal to the amount charged to your account. EGO reserves the right to determine and modify from time to time the exact nature of any such merchandise or service credit, including conversion into one or more different types of merchandise or service credits. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund or credit as set forth above.

    5. Taxes

       Merchandise sold by EGO and shipped to a destination in the state of New York and services purchased by residents of the state of New York may be subject to sales tax. Additionally, users ordering merchandise to be shipped to a destination outside of the United States may be subject to a third party brokerage or customs fees and eligible VAT fees; these fees are not determined by and cannot be modified by EGO and no advance estimate can be provided. You are responsible for any applicable sales or use tax, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees payable in connection with your purchase. If you do not pay such sales or other tax or fee on a transaction, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees in the event that they are later determined to be payable on such sale, and EGO reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time.

    6. Refunds and Returns

       All merchandise must be inspected by customer upon delivery. If any box looks dented or damaged in any way, the driver must make a notation and should mark any damages. Boxes opened later and then damage noticed without driver making notation, is considered concealed damage. Some shipping companies do not always cover full refunds on concealed damage items. EGO is not responsible for damaged incurred during shipping. There are no returns or cancellations for any intangible property or services purchased from EGO, including without limitation paid subscriptions and Lessons.

       Returns are permitted only in the event of an error committed by EGO. You must email or call first for a return authorization number, and no merchandise can be returned without a written authorization number. Items must be unopened, in new condition, and returned in original shipping containers. All sales are final, noncancelable and nonrefundable except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise determined by EGO in its sole discretion.

13. Copyright Complaints

    EGO owns, protects and enforces copyrights in its own creative material and respects the copyright properties of others. You are prohibited from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the Services any materials that violate another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive proper notification under our DMCA Policy, we promptly remove or disable access to the alleged infringing materials and terminate the accounts of repeat offenders. EGO's DMCA Policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use.

14. Miscellaneous

    These Terms of Use (which hereby incorporate by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Services, including, but not limited to, any supplemental terms governing the use of certain specific material contained on the Services and any operating rules for the Services established by EGO) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter. The provisions of these Terms of Use will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of these Terms of Use, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the intentions of the original provision. These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the applicable laws of the State of New York and applicable United States federal law. Exclusive venue for all litigation regarding these Terms shall be in Suffolk County, New York. You agree that any portion of these Terms found to be invalid or unenforceable shall be modified, to the extent allowed by law, so as to allow for the enforcement of the original intended meaning of the portion found to be invalid or unenforceable.
