In addition, Authorize.net may receive updated credit card information from your credit card issuer in order to prevent your payment from being interrupted by an outdated or invalid card.

Your credit card issuer may give you the right to opt-out of the update service. Should you desire to do so, please contact your credit card issuer for more information. We are not responsible for any fees or other charges incurred due to payments made using the Services.

Merchandise

The Site may provide listings, descriptions, and images of goods and services available for purchase (“Products”). Such Product listings, descriptions, and images may be prepared by third parties. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity, or timeliness of such listings, descriptions, or images (including any features, specifications, and prices contained on the Site). Such information and the availability of any Product are subject to change at any time without notice.

We have made efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will accurately reflect actual product color or finish. In addition, certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only.

We sell Products that may be used by or come in contact with children; however, these Products are intended for sale to adults. Ring’s End is not responsible for and shall not be liable to you for content on the Site that you find to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

Ring’s End is not responsible for and cannot guarantee the performance of goods and services provided by third parties. While our goal is to provide accurate information, Product packaging and material may contain more and/or different information than that provided on the Site, including the product description and other information. Always read labels, warnings, directions, and other information provided with the Product before using the Product. For additional information about a Product, please contact the manufacturer. If you find a Product is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition (excluding Products that are not eligible for return), in accordance with Ring’s End’s return policy (see below). It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the purchase, possession, and use of any Product.

Order Acceptance and Billing

You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit card or other means of payment that you provide to us. All billing information you provide to us must be truthful and accurate. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate information is a breach of these Terms of Use and may result in cancellation of your order, in addition to all other legal remedies. Prior to accepting an order we may also request additional information from you. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason, including limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. If your order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or other applicable payment account) in the amount of the charge. We will attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Ring’s End may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.

By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the Product(s) you order, as well as all shipping and handling charges and applicable taxes. You will not be charged for most orders until the order has shipped.

Ring’s End reserves the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household, or per order for any reason. We will attempt to notify you should such limits be applied. Ring’s End also reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to prohibit sales to dealers or resellers.

Pricing Information; Availability

Ring’s End cannot confirm the price or availability of an item until after your order is placed; pricing or availability errors may occur on the Site.

We reserve the right to cancel any orders containing pricing or availability errors, with no further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from Ring’s End. Ring’s End may, at its sole discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Pricing for Products listed on the Site may vary from prices available in Ring’s End retail outlets.

Hazard Communication Label

Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) Pressure Treated Wood Hazard warnings for treated wood are similar to those for untreated wood.

  • Airborne wood dust can cause respiratory, eye, and skin irritation.
  • Breathing excessive amounts of treated or untreated wood dust (primarily hardwood) has been associated with nasal cancer in some industries.
  • Handling may cause splinters.
  • High airborne levels of wood dust may burn rapidly in the air when exposed to an ignition source.
  • Some forms of components of the liquid preservative used to manufacture this product (arsenic and chromium) have caused lung, skin, and possibly other cancers in humans occupationally or environmentally overexposed. SUCH EXPOSURES HAVE NOT OCCURRED WITH TREATED WOOD.
