Terms and Conditions of Sale
Privacy
We do not provide any information to anyone for any reason.
Shipping
We will make every attempt to ship all orders received within 48 hours of order receipt with the exception of custom ordered
components and / or kits. This excludes weekends and holidays. Regular ground service is handled via USPS or UPS. Backorders - all
partial shipment backorders will be shipped via regular ground service at our expense.
International Orders
All foreign orders are shipped via USPS International Priority service unless otherwise noted. You are wholly responsible for any
custom duties, brokerage fees, import restrictions, etc... that are imposed after the sale.
Order Cancellations
Before you submit your order, please make sure you really want it. Once we have begun processing an order, a 25% restocking fee
will be applied, prior to any refund. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not order.
Legal Status of Products
It is the responsibility of the Buyer (not Eastern Voltage Research, LLC) to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, and federal
laws in regard to the possession and the use of any item or kit that is offered for sale. Consult your attorney regarding local, state, and
federal laws prior to ordering. By placing an order, the buyer represents that he / she is of legal age and that the products will be used
only in a lawful manner.
Electronics Kit Limit of Liability
Our range of electronics kits are intended for educational and demonstration purposes only. They are not intended for use in
commercial applications. If they are used in such applications, the purchaser assumes all responsibility for ensuring compliance with
local laws. When a product is supplied in kit form and assembly or construction has commenced or the inner component packages
have been opened, we are unable to offer any form of refund, replacement, exchange, or free repair. This is because we cannot
guarantee the labor you provide and components can be damaged during assembly. Component packages should be checked against
the components list supplied and any shortages or damaged components must be advised to us within 7 days of delivery date to ensure
free component replacement.
It is recommended that if a kit builder does not have enough knowledge to diagnose faults, that the project should not be started unless
assistance can be obtained. (Unfortunately, an improperly installed component or bad solder joint or wiring mistake can take many
hours to diagnose and at normal service rates, the service charge could well be more than the total cost of the electronics kit.)
Mains Powered Projects
To ensure your safety, please observe these safety measures. In no way are these complete. As safety requirements vary, please check
with your local authorities, in order to comply with local requirements. If in doubt, seek the help of a qualified person.
Due to their nature and function, some electronics kits require MAINS power (115VAC) to be connected directly to the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB). Extreme care should be taken when assembling and testing these kits. MAINS power must be treated very
carefully. It is strongly recommended that you have previous experience of working with MAINS power equipment and / or circuits
prior to attempting assembly of these kits. MAINS power can cause serious injury or death and must therefore be treated with extreme
CAUTION. Construction, testing, and use of these kits should only be attempted by competent persons, and / or under the supervision
of someone fully experienced in this field.
To ensure electrical safety, and also protection from fire or personal injury, make sure your MAINS operated equipment complies
with the safety recommendations below:
- Use a suitable non-conductive enclosure (wood, plastic, etc...) If you use a metal enclosure, be sure that the enclosure is
properly
grounded
to
earth
ground.
- Use a power switch for any device that consumes more than 10W of power. A double throw switch should be utilized for
MAINS
operated,
transformer-less
connections.
-
A
fuse
should
be
utilized
in
series
with
the
MAINS
switch.
- Use a suitable MAINS input connector, and / or a UL three-conductor power cord which is clamped to your enclosure.
- Use properly insulated and sized wire when making any MAINS power connections inside an enclosure.
We accept no responsibility for injury, loss, or damage of any kind as a result of the purchase, assembly, or use of any of our products.
