You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by these Terms) or publish the Website for others to copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, or modify, or create derivative works of the Website or Service, or any updates, or part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open source components included with the Website, if any). Any attempt to do so is a violation of our rights. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.

3. Product Availability; Quantity

All orders placed through the Website are subject to availability and acceptance by Sidney Garber. Sidney Garber reserves the right to change the products listed on the Website without prior notice and/or may limit from time to time the quantity of products that may be ordered by a Customer in a single buying session. The product pages of the Website can provide you with information regarding products that are currently available. If a product added to your shopping cart is backordered, you will receive notification of this during the checkout process, prior to the submission of payment. Sidney Garber may modify or discontinue any products on the Website. If Sidney Garber discontinues a product you have already ordered, Sidney Garber will give you a full refund for any product purchased but not yet shipped.

4. Prices and Taxes

All prices shown on the Website are in U.S. Dollars. Sidney Garber reserves the right to modify prices at any time without prior notice. The price of a product displayed on the Website at the time Sidney Garber provides you with confirmation of your order will be honored.

Applicable taxes will be reflected on the payment page before you place your order, and will also appear on the email you receive after placing the order (“Order Confirmation,” discussed below). Sales taxes will vary based on the shipping location and current sales tax laws at the time an order is placed.

5. Payment

Sidney Garber accepts payment via all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express). Payment by wire transfer may be accepted on a case-by-case basis following consultation with our Client Specialist, who can be reached at 877-427-2377 (1-877-GARBER7) or specialist@sidneygarber.com. The hours of operation for our Client Specialist are Monday-Friday, 10:00AM - 6:00PM (Eastern Time).

When placing an order on the Website, you will need to enter your payment details on the appropriate webpage. All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to Sidney Garber, you will need to contact your card issuer directly to resolve this problem. Sidney Garber will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

 

Full payment will be authorized and processed upon placement of an order, even if a product is backordered. After placing an order, you will be sent an Order Confirmation email. The Order Confirmation will include the product(s) you ordered, the order number, the price and your billing and shipping address. The Order Confirmation constitutes the acceptance of your order by Sidney Garber and indicates the existence of a binding sales contract. No cancellations will be accepted once an order is placed. If you would like to return or exchange an item, please see our Refund and Exchange policies below.

Sidney Garber is prohibited under U.S. law from making sales of its goods to individuals or companies designated on the Office of Foreign Assets Controls Specially Designated Nationals List, or to countries sanctioned by the U.S. Any such transactions will be declined.

Sidney Garber takes reasonable measures - including administrative, technical, and physical measures - to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. All personal and payment information is processed on a Level I PCI compliant payment facility. All data passing between the Level I PCI compliant payment facilities will be encrypted with the latest security protocols mandated by the PCI counsel. Sidney Garber utilizes TLS 1.2 security protocols and above. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to us. Any transmission is at your own risk and we cannot be held liable. For more information about how we use and protect your information, please view our Privacy Policy.

6. Shipping Policy

We only accept orders for delivery to addresses in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and the District of Columbia. Please note that Sidney Garber does not ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses or hotels. If an ordered product is in stock, shipment will occur within seven (7) business days from when the order is placed. If an ordered product is backordered, shipment will occur within sixteen (16) weeks from when the order is placed.

All orders will be shipped overnight delivery with a signature required. Prior to shipping your order, Sidney Garber will send you a “Shipping Confirmation” email. The Shipping Confirmation will include a tracking number, which will enable the Customer to arrange to be present for delivery and signature, and a final invoice. Note that inclement weather is not factored into delivery time and may cause delays.

If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example, as a gift), you understand and accept that delivery at that address is evidence of delivery and fulfillment of the sale contract by Sidney Garber in the same way as if the goods had been delivered to you. 

Sidney Garber insures all shipments against theft and accidental damage while in transit. Once a package is delivered and signed for, Sidney Garber is no longer responsible therefor. 

7. Refunds and Exchanges

Sidney Garber accepts full price returns and exchanges of products within ten (10) days of delivery, and archival sale (promotional) returns and exchanges within three (3) days of delivery. Gift recipients can only exchange gifts for products of an equal or higher value.  If you wish to return or exchange an item, please contact our Client Specialist at 1-877-427-2377 (1-877-GARBER7) or specialist@sidneygarber.com for a return authorization and shipping label. Sidney Garber provides complimentary shipping for all returns and exchanges. Returns or exchanges for online purchases cannot be made in our retail stores.

All products must be returned in original, saleable and “as new” condition, free of any sign of wear, use or damage (including scratches), and include any case, cleaning cloths, packaging and documentation originally provided. Products must be returned or exchanged in their original packaging. We reserve the right to refuse a return or exchange if the product sent back is in unsaleable condition, as solely determined by us. Refunds and exchanges will be issued only after the product has been received by Sidney Garber, and determined to be in saleable condition. In addition, refunds may only be issued to the Customer that placed the order, and to the original credit card used to pay for the product.

If an item is received in damaged condition, please contact our Client Specialist within 24 hours of delivery for assistance.
