ABOUT US
This Site is operated by Certifit, Inc. We are a company incorporated in Utah and our principal place of business is located at 3160 South 925 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-3316, USA. Shipment however, may be made from any of our warehouse locations in order to fulfill the order in a timely manner.
HOW TO ORDER THROUGH THE SITE
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order (?Order Confirmation?). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email confirming the shipment of your order (the ?Shipping Confirmation?). A contract with us will only be formed when we send you the Shipping Confirmation. The contract will relate only to those products whose shipment we have confirmed in the Shipping Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order in a separate Order Confirmation. We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time before we have accepted it and we may rescind our acceptance and cancel your order where there has been an obvious error in price or where the product is no longer in our inventory. If we reject or cancel your order, we will attempt to notify you using the e-mail address you have given us with the order.
PRICES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
All prices are FOB our warehouse (with the cost of shipping added on at check-out). Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered. Our Site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced or stated to be in stock. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a product?s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation or a Shipping Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a pricing error.
On occasion, you may be able to place a product in your shopping cart and submit your order for processing, but your order is subsequently cancelled due to unavailability of product. You acknowledge that products may sell quickly and there may be a short period of time after an order has been submitted, but where the product is no longer available. You agree that we may cancel your order after you have received an Order Confirmation without penalty.
On very rare occasions, you may receive a Shipping Confirmation from us, but the product is no longer available in our inventory. You agree that we may rescind our acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if we are unable to ship the product you ordered due to unavailability.
SALES TAX POLICY
Certifit collects and remits sales tax as required by U.S. Law for transactions in our stores and on Certifit.com unless you are otherwise exempt, and, if applicable, provide a valid exemption certificate to us prior to purchase. You agree to pay any taxes imposed on the goods purchased or tangible property provided by Certifit, and you authorize us to increase the amount we collect from you to reflect any and all assessments or increases in the sales of goods purchased.
SHIPPING
We can ship to any UPS deliverable address in the United States. Please note that UPS does not ship to PO BOX addresses. When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page. Incorrect addresses will result in an address correction charge to you as imposed by UPS.
Please note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound. Except as otherwise specifically set forth, delivery will be made F.O.B. Certifit's place of business with all shipping charges to be paid by you. Certifit assumes no liability in connection with shipment, nor shall any carrier be construed as an agent of Certifit. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our tender of the item to the carrier. Delivery dates are estimates only and Certifit shall not be liable for any delay. You shall inspect the goods immediately upon their arrival and shall within ten days of their arrival give a written notice to Certifit of any claim of shortage or any claim that the goods do not conform to the terms of this Agreement. You expressly waive any rights you may have to revoke acceptance after such ten day period. All correspondence relating to damaged goods should be emailed to rma@certifit.com unless the damage resulted during shipping in which case claims should be made directly to the carrier.
All orders placed on this site are subject to product availability and will be shipped according to Certifit shipping policies. In the rare event that your order never arrives, notification of lost items must be received within 60 days from the receipt of the shipping confirmation e-mail.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Subject to the exclusions and limitations below, Certifit, Inc. (?Certifit?) warrants to the original consumer purchaser that the product purchased from Certifit: a) is free of defects in materials and workmanship and meets accepted standards for replacement parts at the time of purchase and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter; b) will, at the time of purchase and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, fit (when properly installed for the use such product was manufactured for) and require only the customary time for installation; and c) if an outer body product, will not rust-through for the lifetime of the vehicle while owned by the original consumer purchaser. The time periods set forth separately in each of parts a), b) and c) in the previous sentence shall be considered the respective ?Warranty Period?. During the Warranty Period, Certifit will refund, repair, or replace, at the option of Certifit, without charge to the original consumer purchaser, any product that fails to comply with the foregoing express warranty.
Prior to any refund, repair, or replacement, the original consumer purchaser must first receive written authorization from Certifit by emailing us at rma@certifit.com or writing to us at 3160 South 925 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-3316, Attention: Customer Service Department and by providing a sales receipt or other documentary proof of purchase. Cost of mailing, shipping or otherwise transporting such part to Certifit is the responsibility of the original consumer purchaser unless we agree otherwise as part of the RMA process (see below).
This express warranty does not cover labor and other incidental expenses for removal, preparation, painting or reinstallation of the product. This express warranty will not apply to any product that is or was: a) not installed properly; b) damaged during shipping; c) not used under normal conditions or in accordance with its labels or written instructions; d) misused, abused or altered in any manner; e) damaged by casualty, collision, fault or negligence of any person or entity other that Certifit; or f) installed without proper sealer, undercoating or paint.
THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO CHROME BUMPERS OR TO TRANSFEREES. Certifit specifically disclaims all implied warranties and, in such states where such disclaimer is not permitted, limits the duration of any implied warranty to the Warranty Period covered by the express limited warranty above.

Return of any item must receive prior authorization in the form of a Return Merchandise Authorization (?RMA?) from Certifit. Claims for damage or lost items incurred during shipping shall be filed by you with the freight company and not with us.
All returns must be received during the Warranty Period. The refund amount shall be the invoiced amount less any shipping and handling fees (unless shipped in error). Certifit reserves the right to evaluate all returns and its decisions concerning damage assessment shall be conclusive. All items purchased from Certifit, Inc. are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our tender of the item to the carrier.
