TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES

1.  This document contains very important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as conditions, limitations and exclusions that might apply to you. Please read it carefully.

These terms require the use of arbitration to resolve disputes, rather than recourse to the judicial system.

Our websites (metamaterial.com, and meta.air.com the “Sites”) are solely platforms for promoting products and services provided by Metamaterial Technologies Inc. (referred to as “MTI”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company” as the context may require).

These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) apply to the purchase and sale of any and all products and services from MTI. These Terms are subject to change by MTI without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. Any changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date” referred to on the Site. You should review these Terms before purchasing any product or services from us. Your continued use of the Site after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

These Terms are an integral part of the Website Terms and Conditions of Use that apply generally to the use of the Sites. You should also carefully review our Website Privacy Policy before placing an order for products or services (see Section 10).

2.  Order Acceptance and Cancellation: You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.

All such taxes and charges will be added to your total price and will be itemized in your order confirmation email. We strive to communicate accurate price information; however, we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

Limitations/Disclaimers

  • Until the company has a chance to examine the Product, it cannot guarantee that any damage to the Product is covered by this warranty. If the company has any questions about the manner in which the Product was handled or stored, you must provide us with that information; otherwise, your warranty claim may not be accepted. If MTI cannot perform warranty service on a Product because it is not covered by this warranty, MTI will return the Product to you on request, provided that you pay return shipping.
