an acceptance of that order. The website may automatically identify and/or
alert you to certain types of input error before you place your order.
However it may not identify all errors or omissions particularly information
that may have been entered by you and you should ensure that the information
you submit in your order is accurate and complete. We will advise of your
orders acceptance by e-mail or by a telephone call from one of our sales
agents. Any Contract is dependant and conditional upon our verification
of availability and acceptance of both your order and your credit card

receive that payment within ten (10) days of the date of the relevant
order acknowledgement.

appropriate means of delivery of the Product to you. Products may be delivered
in instalments in any sequence and each instalment is deemed to be the
subject of a separate Contract. Failure by us to deliver one or more instalments
will not affect the Contract in respect of Products previously delivered
and you will be deemed to accept those instalments already delivered.
d) Delivery Date

by our billing department. System orders will be shipped within ten to

that case deduct those fees and charges from any payments to be refunded
to you. Subject to the above qualifications, we will repay the actual
amount paid to us, less any fees and charges due to us (as per the above)
on returned Products, by issuing you a refund using the refund method
we choose or by crediting your account.

determine if you qualify for a replacement LCD.
Exceptions to right of return. The right of return
and refund does not apply to software sold with Rizeon branded products,

to you for any third party products or software, unauthorized modification,

with your Products. You reciprocate this indemnity to Rizeon for any IP
owned by you that has been integrated into your Products. You are required
to fully cooperate in any legal or otherwise related proceedings when
such is specific to your Products. This will be done at Rizeon’s
expense except where IP owned by you is the alleged cause of infringement.

are required to notify Rizeon immediately of any unauthorized or infringing
use of IP or Products within.
