We may choose not to accept any orders at any time for any reason in our sole discretion, and we may cancel your order at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to set a limitation on the quantity of products ordered or on the maximum dollar value of any order. Your receipt of an order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of the order. If your order is cancelled, we will refund the amount(s) charged for such order(s). After having received your order, we will send you a confirmation with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. You have the option to cancel your order at any time before we have sent your order confirmation by emailing our Customer Service Department at us-orders@tcl.com.

Posted prices do not include taxes (including any state recycling fees) or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.

The delivery dates provided to you via any communication method are estimates only.
- Returns and Refunds.
Except for any products designated on the Site as non-returnable (or using similar language designating that the products are not eligible for return), we will accept a return of the products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such request for return is made within 14 days of delivery (30 days for California residents). All returned products must be in like-new condition with no physical or water damage and are returned in their original condition complete with all in-box accessories and original packaging. While purchasing bundled products, including free gifts, TCT only accepts returns that contain all products, including free gifts, in the bundle.

In the event you return a Product(s), such return will not automatically cancel any third-party software or service including any wireless service or service activated for or in association with the product(s). Any third-party software or service contains its own terms and conditions governing activation, deactivation, or other related items, and should be referenced prior to the return of the product(s).

- Force Majeure. We shall not be liable or responsible, nor shall we be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any of your obligations to make payments to us hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond our control, including, without limitation, the following force majeure events ("Force Majeure Event(s)"): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or actions; (e) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) national or regional emergency; (g) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; (h) telecommunication breakdowns, power outages or shortages, lack of warehouse or storage space, inadequate transportation services, or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials; and (i) other events beyond our reasonable control.

- Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration.
- YOU, AND TCT MOBILE (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, ITS PRESENT AND FUTURE AFFILIATES, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AND THIRD-PARTIES) ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US (INCLUDING OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE AFFILIATES, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AND THIRD-PARTIES) ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
- The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section 12. (The AAA Rules are available at org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR TCT MOBILE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
- Assignment. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 13 is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.
- No Waiver. The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of TCT Mobile.
- No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you.
- Notices.
- To You. We may provide any notice to you under these Terms by: (i) sending a message to the email address you provide or (ii) by posting to the Site. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current.

To give us notice under these Terms, you must contact us as follows: by personal delivery, overnight courier or registered or certified mail to TCT Mobile, Inc., 25 Edelman, Irvine, CA 92618. We may update the facsimile number or address for notices to us by posting a notice on the Site. Notices provided by personal delivery will be effective immediately. Notices provided by registered or certified mail will be effective three business days after they are sent.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms.
- Entire Agreement. Our order confirmation, these Terms, the license agreement relating to any product or service you obtain on or through this Site, our Website Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy will be deemed the final and integrated agreement between you and us on the matters contained in these Terms.
