You will be responsible for any damage to the item incurred during shipping, or if the item is lost in transit, if you do not. PRICING Notwithstanding the product prices shown on the website, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items shown on the website may be mispriced as a result of price changes that are implemented at or about the time of your visit to the website. If an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, your sole recourse is cancellation of your order. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDER We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order.  In such event your sole recourse shall be the return of amounts paid by you related to such order (if any). SALES TAX Items shipped to destinations from the state of Illinois are subject to tax. No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift certificates; however, purchases paid for with gift certificates may be subject to tax. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet, by catalog, or by other remote means. Your state requires that you report all purchases that were not taxed and pay tax on those purchases. See your state’s department of revenue or taxation website for appropriate forms and instructions. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS We attempt to describe our products offered as accurately as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of the website are 100% accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a product offered by us and purchased by you is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition for a conforming replacement, refund or credit. DISCLAIMER We are not liable for any financial damage (including but not limited to the cost of any replacement purchase) that may occur because of non-timely arrival or any lack of availability or conformity of the product. IV. DISPUTES Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of StoriedArt.com, to purchases from StoriedArt.com, or to the sale of any products or services sold or distributed by StoriedArt.com will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Sale as a court would. APPLICABLE LAW By placing an order with StoriedArt.com, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Illinois, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and Conditions and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Storied  Art.com. SEVERABILITY If any of the terms or conditions herein shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term or condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining term or condition.
