YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF SALE IS INCLUDED IN YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SITE TERMS OF USE LOCATED AT www.builddirect.com/pages/terms-of-use

1.Product Display and Pricing:

a.   Site Content and Product Descriptions:

1.    BuildDirect does not accept liability for any errors and/or omissions contained on the Site, including but not limited to any product display page for any product listed for sale on the Site. BuildDirect reserves the right to change information, prices, specifications and descriptions for any goods, products or services displayed on the Site at any time and without notice and does not warrant that a product description or content on the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free.

2.    BuildDirect makes all reasonable efforts to accurately display the colour, texture and detail of products on the Site. BuildDirect however provides no guarantee that the colour, texture or detail You see matches that of the subject product. Colour, texture and detail variances may occur including but not limited to as a result of the monitor You utilize to view the products on the Site and the display settings and capabilities of such monitor.

b.  Product Pricing:

1.    The price for a product shown on the Site's product display page for that product (each a "PDP") represents the full retail price for the product as set by (a) BuildDirect, where BuildDirect is the seller of the product or (b) the manufacturer or supplier of the product where the manufacturer or supplier is the seller of the product on the PDP (in either case, the “List Price”). For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price may represent the aggregate of manufacturer or supplier’s estimated or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set.

2.    For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms of Sale, the List Price does not include shipping and handling charges, customs, duties or any Taxes applicable to Your order.

3.    Any strike-through or comparison price reflected on the Site is either the price reported by the manufacturer or vendor to BuildDirect for the subject product or in some instances, is based on a comparative survey of the price of the same or a similar product being sold at representative retailers or department stores in relevant markets in the United States. For avoidance of doubt, the strike-through or comparison price may not be a price at which BuildDirect previously sold the product. The strike-through or comparison price may not always represent the actual price listed by retailers or department stores every day or in every community and BuildDirect does not certify the reliability or accuracy of any such information. For international sales, the comparison price is based on what such items would be sold at in the US market. Strike-through or comparison prices are not a substitute for Your own comparison shopping. If comparison prices are an important factor for You in Your purchasing decision, we recommend You conduct Your own individual search as well.

4.    You acknowledge that the placing of an item in a cart on the Site does not reserve the List Price for the subject product shown at that time. It is possible the List Price of the item in Your cart may increase or decrease between the time You place an item in Your cart and the time You purchase the subject product.

5.    BuildDirect will have no obligation to fulfill an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect List Price. If an error is discovered in the List Price of a product or service that You have ordered, BuildDirect will inform You as soon as is reasonably possible. You will be advised of the correct List Price for the subject product and provided the opportunity to order the product at the correct List Price via a separate transaction (subject to all other terms and conditions of these Terms of Sale). If You have already paid for the subject product at the incorrect List Price, BuildDirect will refund You the full amount paid subject to these Terms of Sale.
