Quartzy takes reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect from unauthorized access, use or disclosure of the information that we collect from you. Quartzy servers are located in professional and secure hosting facilities designed to host servers with protection from unwanted attacks over the Internet and physical attacks to the building or server itself. In particular, the Site’s servers are in a private network with a dedicated firewall, and are protected by round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance. For physical security, our data centers are all SSAE-16 and/or ISO 27001 compliant. Our software infrastructure is regularly updated with the latest security patches. All access to the Site’s servers is protected by two-factor authentication, and all traffic to Quartzy’s servers is encrypted as well.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Quartzy from and against any and all liability arising in any way from the access to the Site using your online ID and/or online password.

5. Some Third Parties May have Incidental Access to Your Information. Quartzy works with other companies to provide information technology services to users of the Site. These companies may have access to Quartzy's databases, but only for the purposes of providing service to Quartzy. For example, a third party may obtain access to Your Information in an effort to update database software, or manage data. These companies will operate under consumer confidentiality agreements with Quartzy.

7. Ordering Products on Quartzy.com

Certain Definitions Applicable to Buying Products on Quartzy.com.

“Product Order” is defined as the purchase order submitted by you to Quartzy for the Products.

“Products” are defined as all tangible goods, materials, and products to be supplied by Quartzy or a third-party manufacturer under the Product Order.

1. Who Cannot Buy. The Company is generally amenable to assisting customers with their laboratory inventory requirements. However, there are certain situations where the Company may decline to accept Product Orders. Specifically, you are not permitted to purchase any Products from Quartzy.com if:

a. You are situated outside of the United States of America, or they are transporting any merchandise beyond the borders of the United States of America.
b. You are attempting to procure a regulated item for which they lack the legal right to purchase, own or use.
c. You have the intention of reselling the Product, either directly or indirectly, or providing it to any individual or entity that intends to resell it, except where such action is authorized by a separate agreement between the Company and a reseller.
d. You are not affiliated with, and are not procuring the Products on behalf of, a commercial or academic institution.

2. How to Order Products. You can select Products for purchase in several ways: by browsing catalogs on the Site, selecting items, putting them in your cart and completing the “check out” process, purchasing through your electronic procurement system, or by responding to an official Quartzy quote or pricing proposal. Based on your product requests or other of Your Information, Quartzy may provide you with quotes for Products. Any such quotes are valid for no more than 14 days after Quartzy provides the quote. A Product Order submitted by you to Quartzy corresponding to Products for which you’ve completed “check out”, or a Product Order submitted by you to Quartzy corresponding to an official Quartzy offer or pricing proposal, constitutes the agreement for Quartzy to provide the Products quoted and for you to receive and pay for such Products.

3. Your Product Order Cannot Contain Additional Terms or Conditions. These Terms set out the complete and exclusive statement of the contract between you and Quartzy with respect to your purchase of Products. Any additional or conflicting provisions contained in a Product Order from you are rejected, unless expressly and independently recognized and agreed to by Quartzy in writing.

4. Quartzy Can’t Guarantee that Product Information is Correct. While Quartzy strives for accuracy in its Product information, Quartzy cannot ensure that the information with respect to any Product is correct. You agree that Quartzy shall not be liable for any for clerical, graphical, typographical, and printing errors, including with respect to Product pricing.

5. International Access. Though the Site may be accessible from outside the United States, You cannot order Products from the Site if you are outside the United States or for delivery outside the United States. If you access and use this Site outside the United States you are responsible for complying with your local laws and regulations.

8. Packing, Shipping and Insurance

1. We May Ship Product to you Directly, or We May Use “Drop Ship” via a Third Party Shipper. Quartzy will select the appropriate shipper for your Product Order. Quartzy ships Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). This means that Quartzy is responsible for the goods shipped to the named place of the destination. The title to the Product transfers to you (and our responsibility for risk of loss of the Product stops) at time and place of delivery to you. You will be responsible for any freight costs or handling fees associated with delivery fees, which will be quoted at the time of or after your purchase and subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect the actual costs.

2. It’s Possible that your Ordered Product may be Unavailable. Although Quartzy tries to ensure that the Product availability on the Site is accurate, you acknowledge that from time-to-time even those Products designated as in inventory will not be available at time of shipment. If a Product Order cannot be shipped in its entirety due to unavailability of the Product, Quartzy will promptly notify you, and provide an estimated shipment date for those Products which are unavailable.

3. Products Damaged in Shipping; Insurance. Quartzy carefully packs Products according to guidelines recommended by freight forwarders. When you receive your Product delivery, inspect it right away for both damage or discrepancy in what you ordered. If there is any damage, take a photo of the damaged area. Photos of the label on the box are also helpful. If the carrier damaged the item in transit, take pictures of the damaged package. Once accepted, you assume all liability for any physical damage identified and/or incurred after acceptance.

4. Quartzy Will Help You with Damaged Products. Despite any other section of these Terms, and whether your Product came from Quartzy or a third-party manufacturer after ordering on the Site, Quartzy will work with you in good faith to try to resolve any claims of damaged Product.

9. Payment Terms

1. Invoicing and Payment for Products. Quartzy will invoice you for any Products you purchase on the Site. Except in the case where you have a separately agreed-to credit arrangement with Quartzy, you must pay for any Products you order before Quartzy will ship those Products. All payments are to be made in United States dollars, including applicable taxes, and other charges such as government imposed surcharges which Quartzy may be required to pay or collect with respect to the provision of Products. Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms, fees and payments for Products are non-refundable and nontransferable.

2. Invoicing and Payment for Services. Certain elements of our Services (“Paid Services”) may require the payment of fees and/or the completion of a Services order form (the “Services Order Form”). Customer agrees to pay Company the fees described in the Services Order Form for the Paid Services in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). Company reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the initial service term or then current renewal term specified in the Services Order Form, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that Company has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Company no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Company’s customer support department. Company may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, unless otherwise specified in the Services Order Form, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Company thirty (30) days after the delivery date of the invoice. Company may also choose to bill Customer by charging the amount owed for Paid Services in a given month directly to Customer’s credit card on file with Company, or withdrawing such amounts directly from Customer’s bank account via ACH, and Customer hereby consents to such charges and withdrawals being made. The Fees for Paid Services exclude all applicable sales, use, and other taxes, fees, duties and similar charges. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Company’s income. Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms, Fees for Paid Services are non-refundable and non-transferable.

3. Your Failure to Pay or Failure to Pay on Time. If you have any outstanding balance due on your account, then Quartzy has the right to withhold access or use of the Services or shipping any Product to you until you have paid your account balance in full. If your payment is late, Quartzy may charge interest on your outstanding late balance at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date that payment is received by Quartzy. You agree to reimburse Quartzy for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any overdue amounts.

10. Product Order Cancellation; Product Returns and Refunds
1. Cancelling Your Product Order. Except as specified otherwise, You may cancel a Product Order at any time prior to shipping with no penalty. Certain Product Orders are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Once a Product Order has shipped, you may not be able to cancel it, especially if it ships directly from one of our manufacturers. The Product Order may be subject to a restocking fee, and you will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred (outbound to you and return to Quartzy facility).
