Terms & Conditions
By placing an order with FiftyOne, you are agreeing to be bound by the purchase terms & conditions (the "Agreement") set forth here with respect to any purchase you make on this Web site.
- Nature of Transaction. FiftyOne, Inc. ("FiftyOne" - f/k/a E4X, Inc.) contracts with suppliers in the U.S. ("suppliers") to avail their merchandise to consumers living outside of the U.S. ("you") through the FiftyOne network, and to provide you with an opportunity to purchase such merchandise at a price in a currency selected by you, inclusive of international shipping costs, brokerage costs, import duty and sales taxes. By placing an order with FiftyOne, you acknowledge that your transaction will be with FiftyOne, not with the supplier, and that upon successful verification by FiftyOne of the authenticity and sufficiency of the payment information you provide, that FiftyOne will purchase the merchandise from the supplier for the sole purpose of immediately reselling it to you for the amounts presented to and agreed-upon by you. FiftyOne will provide its own payment information to the supplier to purchase the merchandise you have ordered, and FiftyOne will resell such merchandise to you using the payment information you have provided. You acknowledge that FiftyOne shall be entitled to verify the authenticity and sufficiency of the payment information you provide, and if FiftyOne is unable to verify the information automatically, FiftyOne representatives may contact you and/or your credit card issuing bank to confirm your identity and/or your intent to place the order. FiftyOne has not accepted an order from you, and FiftyOne makes no commitment of any kind to provide merchandise to you, until FiftyOne has actually received from the applicable supplier the merchandise which you order.
- Non-Commercial Use Intent and Compliance with U.S. Exports and Sanctions Law(s). Supplier merchandise available through the FiftyOne network is intended for non-commercial use, and purchase of any merchandise for resale purposes is prohibited. Further, by agreeing to these terms and conditions, you are certifying that any items purchased from FiftyOne will not be exported, sold, or transferred in violation of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations or applicable U.S. sanctions and embargoes administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
- Title to Goods. After FiftyOne purchases and takes title of merchandise from a supplier to fulfill an order you have placed, title of merchandise shall transfer from FiftyOne to you at the time of shipment of the merchandise from FiftyOne's facility in the U.S.
- Billing Timing. Your credit card will be billed by FiftyOne, and charges will be accompanied on your credit card statement by the descriptor ("51*SUPPLIER"), where 51 denotes the FiftyOne network, and SUPPLIER is the particular supplier whose merchandise you have purchased. You will only be billed after your merchandise has been received, processed and dispatched for delivery by FiftyOne. In the event of the receipt of any parcel from supplier containing only part of an order, FiftyOne will process the merchandise received, and will only bill for an amount commensurate with the price of the merchandise therein, plus any duty, taxes, VAT, and pro-rated amounts for shipping and/or handling. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an order being fulfilled by the supplier in multiple parcels, unless expressly consented to by you, in no instance will the aggregate amount billed to you exceed the total amount presented at the time of order placement by you.
- Brokers. By ordering goods from FiftyOne, you hereby authorize a licensed customs broker chosen by FiftyOne to act as your agent and transact business with foreign revenue authorities to clear your merchandise, account for duties and taxes on your behalf, return your merchandise and prepare and submit refund claims on your behalf for any merchandise that you return. You understand that foreign revenue authorities will send any refund of duties and taxes that were paid on the returned merchandise to directly to FiftyOne's returns logistics partner, Pitney Bowes, Inc. and you will obtain any refund, as applicable, directly from FiftyOne. In this connection, you also authorize the customs broker to endorse any refund check issued by said foreign revenue authorities in your name, so that Pitney Bowes Inc. can be reimbursed.
- Returns. You agree to contact the Supplier whose merchandise you have purchased for any returns authorization. If authorized by the Supplier, pursuant to their international returns policy, Supplier will provide you with information on credit available to you and instructions on where to ship your return parcel. If your order was shipped via FedEx, please note that any return must be sent directly to the Supplier at the returns address they provide. FiftyOne will reimburse you for the original sales prices of the returned merchandise plus or minus any additional credits or debits determined solely by Supplier, and only once Supplier confirms with FiftyOne that they have received your merchandise and authorizes FiftyOne to apply that credit. Any request for reimbursement of duty and/or taxes paid for orders shipped via FedEx must be made directly with the revenue authority and/or customs office in your country. If your order was shipped by any other carrier currently used by FiftyOne, returns must be sent to the satellite returns facility address indicated within the Return Merchandise Authorization email you will receive once you have contacted the Supplier and they have authorized your return. In these cases, FiftyOne will reimburse you for the original sales prices of the returned merchandise, duty and/or taxes, plus or minus any additional credits or debits determined solely by Supplier.
