  6. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. All payments must be made by VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or PayPal. We currently do not accept cash, checks or any other payment form, although in the future we may change this policy. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Terms of Use to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Unless you notify FYE of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes. If FYE does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by FYE or its agents. You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. FYE shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable sales tax for orders to be delivered to addresses within any states or localities that it deems is required. FYE currently collects sales taxes in all states other than Hawaii, Idaho and Montana.
  7. Order Acceptance Policy. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. FYE reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. FYE further reserves the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by FYE upon our delivery of products or services that you have ordered. All orders placed over $500.00 (U.S.) must obtain pre-approval with an acceptable method of payment, as established by our credit and fraud avoidance department. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. FYE is a reseller to end users and does not accept orders from resellers, exporters, wholesalers, any businesses of any kind or other customers who intend to resell.
  8. Pricing Information.
    1. Pricing May Differ from Retail Stores. Pricing on the fye.com Site may vary from fye retail store sale pricing. Many titles are always ON SALE at the fye.com Site, and we may advertise the existing sale price to bring attention to specific product without changing the existing sale price. Sorry, FYE cannot adjust an existing order for a current sale price; although FYE reserves the right to determine if sale pricing will apply and to adjust pricing.
    2. No Responsibility To Sell Mispriced Products Or Services. FYE shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products and/or services listed at an incorrect price, rebate or refund, or containing any other incorrect information or typographical errors. FYE shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, FYE shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
    3. Modifications to Prices or Billing Terms. FYE RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS PRICES AND BILLING METHODS FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING ON THE SITE OR BY EMAIL DELIVERY TO YOU.
    4. Price Comparisons, "List Price" and "You Save". Price comparisons may be made throughout the site to indicate the relative savings amounts of our pricing. "LIST PRICE" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our suppliers. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "YOU SAVE" reflects the difference between our price and the supplier provided list price shown on our sites. Because the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount and may want to make an exact comparison for yourself by checking the prices of other internet or local retailers prior to making a purchase.
  9. Service and Support for Goods Sold. All requests for technical service and support should be made directly to the manufacturer in accordance with their terms and conditions.
  10. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FYE and its parents, sister companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers, other End Users, distributors, licensors, officers, directors and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party arising out of or related to your violation of this Terms of Use, or your violation of any law, regulation or third-party right.
