All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by ChipsGalaxy or a duly authorized agent of ChipsGalaxy.

Orders accepted by ChipsGalaxy may be cancelled by Customer upon written consent of ChipsGalaxy provided such order is not "NC/NR" or "Non-Cancelable/Non-Returnable", "Non-Standard Products" or governed by a Purchase Agreement Letter. Non-Standard Products are defined as Products that are special orders, custom orders, orders for non-standard products, products not customarily in stock or orders for value-added products. Non-standard products are non-cancelable and non-refundable. In the event of cancellation or other withdrawal of an order for any reason, and without limiting any other remedy which ChipsGalaxy may have as a result of such cancellation or other withdrawal, reasonable cancellation or restocking charges shall include all expenses incurred and commitments made by ChipsGalaxy, and shall be paid by Customer to ChipsGalaxy. Customer requests to reschedule are subject to acceptance by ChipsGalaxy in its sole discretion. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after the order has been submitted by ChipsGalaxy to the supplier (or) shipment carrier, whichever is earlier. ChipsGalaxy reserves the right to allocate sales and limit quantities of selected Products among its customers in its sole discretion. Product specifications and availability are subject to change without prior notice.

1a. Returns & Refunds
