Plain-language preamble (the lawyers made us put the rest in lawyer-speak, but this part is ours): these are the rules for using our website. They're mostly common sense. The Robot Overlords didn't write them, but they do enforce them.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of this website, including any pages, features, forms, accounts, content, product listings, checkout pages, and other website services made available through this website.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you should not use this website.

These Terms of Service apply to use of the website. Product purchases, product safety obligations, order processing, shipping, returns, refunds, chargebacks, warranties, and product-specific limitations may be governed by separate policies, including our Purchase/Return Policy, product warnings, Safety Data Sheets, and checkout acknowledgments.

2. Website Use Only

These Terms of Service are intended to apply to your use of this website. They do not replace or limit any product-specific safety information, Safety Data Sheet, product instructions, product label, purchase terms, return policy, warranty limitation, or other written policy that applies to a specific product or order.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and a product-specific policy or written purchase term, the product-specific policy or written purchase term will control for that product, order, or transaction.

The content on this website is provided for general informational and commercial purposes. Website content may include product descriptions, technical information, general use information, safety references, frequently asked questions, images, videos, documentation links, and other materials.

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that all website content is complete, error-free, current, or suitable for every use or application.

You should not rely solely on general website content when handling, storing, applying, or evaluating any product. Always review the applicable product label, Safety Data Sheet, product warnings, written instructions, and other product-specific documentation before use.

5. Product Information on the Website

Product listings, descriptions, images, specifications, availability, prices, and related information may be changed, corrected, updated, or discontinued at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions on the website, including after an order has been submitted. We may cancel or refuse an order if website information, pricing, availability, or product details were incorrect or incomplete.

The appearance of a product on the website does not guarantee that the product is available, suitable for your intended use, legal for purchase or use in your jurisdiction, or appropriate for any particular application.

You are responsible for reviewing the applicable Safety Data Sheet, product warnings, instructions, and other safety information before purchasing, handling, storing, or using any product.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a substitute for professional judgment, technical training, workplace safety procedures, legal compliance, or review of the applicable Safety Data Sheet and product documentation.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may use or link to third-party platforms, tools, payment processors, shipping providers, analytics providers, advertising platforms, embedded content, social media features, or other third-party services.

We do not control third-party websites or services and are not responsible for their content, security, availability, privacy practices, terms, policies, or actions.

Your use of third-party websites or services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies provided by those third parties.

11. Acceptable Use

You may view and use website content for personal, internal business, or purchasing purposes related to evaluating or purchasing our products.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, publish, scrape, download, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit website content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms of Service grants you ownership of any website content, trademark, trade name, logo, design, or other intellectual property.

13. Lore, Humor, and the Fictional Universe

Portions of this website are written in the voice of a fictional universe, including (without limitation) the "Robot Overlords," "A.A.R.O.N.," the "Scientists," references to matter teleportation, time travel, parallel universes, extraterrestrial shipping destinations, and similar creative elements (collectively, the "Lore").

The Lore is a fictional creative work owned by A2 Creative, Inc. and is protected as intellectual property under Section 12. It is provided for entertainment and brand expression only. Lore statements are not factual representations, warranties, service commitments, or performance guarantees, and no reasonable reading of these materials should treat them as such. Packages travel by ordinary carriers; no causality was harmed.

For clarity: product safety warnings, Safety Data Sheets, handling instructions, storage requirements, and legal notices are always literal, even when presented alongside Lore. When humor and safety share a page, the safety information controls.

14. Feedback and Suggestions

If you submit feedback, suggestions, ideas, improvements, comments, or similar information to us regarding the website, products, services, or business, you agree that we may use that information without restriction or obligation to compensate you.

You represent that any feedback or suggestions you submit do not infringe the rights of any third party and are not confidential unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.

We are not responsible for delays, outages, data loss, interruptions, or other problems caused by third-party platforms, hosting providers, internet service providers, payment processors, shipping providers, website software, cyber incidents, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

16. No Professional Advice

The website and website content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties regarding the website and website content, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, availability, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

This section applies to the website and website content. Product-specific warranties, if any, are addressed separately in the applicable Purchase/Return Policy, product documentation, or written purchase terms.

21. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
