Users (whether registered or not) may not sell or financially profit from this License or any of the material or information covered by the License.
You must be a Registered User to shop in our stores. We ask for nothing but your e-mail address, so we can contact you about your orders and payments. If you use a credit card we may ask for your zip code and street address, because our merchant sometimes requires these for card verification. We will not keep your credit card information on file unless you ask us to. For your convenience, you may enter this information into your Account Profile if you are a frequent shopper. All personal information is encrypted using with an offsite key. Your personal information is completely private and will never be disclosed to any third party except as required by law. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for additional details.
If you request that we ship physical items to you, we strongly recommend that you select an insured shipping method. If you choose not to insure your shipment, we will not be responsible for the safe arrival of your items. We will provide you with a tracking number for all insured shipping methods, however uninsured USPS Parcel Post and uninsured First Class Mail can not be tracked.
Payments made by check or money order are subject to a delay of 5 to 10 days in fulfillment pending the clearance of funds. We accept the following payment methods: Visa Card, Master Card, Discover Card, US or international money orders, international certified bank drafts and cashier's checks denominated in US dollars, and personal checks in US funds drawn on US banks.
All sales are final. Customers who attempt chargebacks on credit cards agree to pay a $50.00 administrative fee in addition to being held liable for all charges incurred through our online merchant. If you have a problem with your merchandise or you would like a refund for any reason, you agree to contact us directly instead of going through your financial institution.
Personal checks that are declined for any reason are subject to a $50.00 administrative fee in addition to the amount of the check. We accept personal checks drawn on US banks in US dollars only. If you are an international customer and you would like to pay by check, please send us a certified bank draft or an international money order. You can also wire us money through Western Union, or you can send us a traveler's cheque. We do not accept purchase orders!
Refunds on account funds are issued only in the manner in which the funds were provided to us. If you sent us a check, we'll send you a check back. If you elect a refund on funds you remitted with a credit card, we will credit only that same card. Credit card refunds are limited to a maximum of 30 days from the date of the original charge. If you are requesting a refund for a credit card charge that occurred more than 30 days prior, we will issue your refund by check instead of crediting your card. For exceptions to this policy, please contact our accountant at our central support address sales@vibecentral.org with your request.
Our marketing and administrative staff may send you promotional e-mails from time to time. If you wish us not to do so, you may elect to turn off the e-mail switch in your User Profile. However your e-mail address will be validated if you purchase anything from our stores, and that is the address we will use to send you order confirmations and payment receipts. Our webmasters will validate e-mail addresses periodically, to ensure that we have a way to reach you should there be any problem with an order or a payment. Users with invalid or expired e-mail addresses may be flagged and deleted from our system. Please keep your e-mail address current.

By using any of these forums, you understand that artistic and technical discussion can sometimes become heated and even offensive, and you agree not to hold us liable for any inflammatory or inaccurate information that may be posted on our boards.
These are public forums and we do our best to moderate them, and we adhere to the COPPA regulations as well, but we make no claims regarding the public verbiage on these boards, and the forums are maintained only for your enjoyment and entertainment.
