Terms & Conditions (The "Terms of Use")
You should carefully read the Terms of Use before using our site and purchasing from us. By using our website you are indicating your agreement to be bound by the Terms of Use. This is a legally binding agreement.

Business Policies
REGISTRATION: To place an order in our online store, you must register to create an account. We maintain your contact information and order history on our servers to streamline and enhance your subsequent orders and to contact you in regards to an order if necessary. To facilitate returns, exchanges and corrections, we retain any credit card information you might provide on our servers for 30 days only.

PRICES: All prices shown are suggested retail as of January 2007. We do our best to keep prices current in our online store. However, prices shown are subject to change - we reserve the right to review and revise pricing, whether due to vendor price changes, entry errors, oversights, or for any other reason we deem appropriate.

In some instances, prices may vary between our online store and our Seattle retail store. The online pricing will typically be the lower of the two due to fewer administrative costs and applies only to orders placed online and shipped to the customer.

SHIPPING CHARGES: Unless otherwise requested during the checkout process, all orders in the continental US will be shipped regular UPS or ground freight with all charges prepaid. Shipping charges will be displayed during checkout.

HAZARDOUS ITEMS: Due to regulations and safety challenges, we do not ship hazardous materials. However, hazardous materials may be purchased and picked up at our retail store in Seattle. For its location and driving directions or to call for details, please see our contact page.

LIABILITY: The customer is responsible for obtaining proper training and/or instruction for products purchased from PNTA. We will not be responsible for any damages or liability from the improper use of any products purchased from PNTA.

SECURITY: Our online store utilizes a variety of leading-edge technologies to minimize fraudulent orders, including the use of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), to protect financial information from compromise during transmission. However, due to the possibility of fraudulent online orders from sources that are not legitimate, for both your protection and ours, we may contact you to confirm the legitimacy of any order that has been placed.

METHOD OF PAYMENT: Our online store accepts VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, PayPal and e-checks.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Data and specifications in the online store are for the convenience of the user, and every effort has been made to avoid errors. However, PNTA does not take any responsibility for any errors or omissions. Manufacturer's spec sheets and MSDS sheets are available for most products upon request.

As required by State laws, Washington, Utah and California customers will be charged sales tax based on their state's tax tables for the delivery location provided by the customer.

GUARANTEE: Our products are sold with manufacturers' warranties. Any defects in material or workmanship will be promptly rectified, provided claims are made and defective parts are return shipped within 10 days of receipt of goods for our timely examination. Other than assisting with shipping damage claims (see Shipping Damage Claims below), no additional warranties, expressed or implied, are provided by PNTA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNS: All returns other than for defective materials or workmanship must be made within 30 days of purchase and accompanied by a PNTA invoice or receipt. We sell only new equipment (not used); merchandise must be in new condition showing no sign of wear and be in the original packaging. Some items may be non-returnable solely at our discretion.

RETURN MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION: No returns will be accepted without a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#) from our counter sales department. Call (206) 622-7850. When requesting an RMA#, please furnish the invoice or receipt number and date. All returned merchandise is subject to a 20% re-stocking fee. Special order or non-stocked items may be subject to additional fees. Exchanging for another item is acceptable on items stocked at PNTA, and exchanging reduces the re-stocking fee to 10%. No returns or exchanges will be accepted on make-up, cut goods or custom manufactured items. Refunds for merchandise purchased by credit card or PayPal will be issued by the same method of payment, minus re-stocking fee, within 10 days of return. All freight charges on returns must be prepaid. Freight charges on the original shipment will not be refunded.

SHIPPING DAMAGE CLAIMS: All claims for shipping damage must be filed by the recipient with the carrier within three days. All merchandise is carefully packaged for shipment, and PNTA assumes no responsibility for delay, breakage, or damage after having made delivery in good order to a common carrier.
