Terms and Conditions

Legal Issues
When you confirm your order, a legally-binding agreement between yourself and D'Antiques is created. The terms are very simple: we are obligated to ship the products we described to you within a reasonable time period once you provide payment for them. You are obligated to send payment within the agreed time period. We take our obligations seriously and expect our customers to do the same. When buyers do not send payment, we are damaged financially because the goods they reserved were not available for sale to others. We may report such failures to other dealers on the Web, or on our site, particularly if it appears the lack of action was malicious. Unfortunately, these statements are the result of sad experience with a few irresponsible people over the past 10 years- not many but enough to require this policy statement. By placing your order, you state that you have read, understand and accept the terms of the agreement and agree to uphold your obligations in completing the transaction. If you do not intend to meet the terms of the agreement, please do not order from us!

What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept all common forms of payment including:

• Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. You can submit your data online where the charges will be processed securely through PayPal (we do not see your credit card data and do not store it anywhere).
• PayPal payments, including e-check.
• Checks (US only), money orders or well-concealed cash (US funds only- and not recommended!) by postal mail service.

NOTE: Credit Card charges processed by PayPal and direct PayPal payments both perform an assessment of the Buyer's requested shipping address. If it matches the billing address associated with the Buyer's account, it is reported to us as 'Confirmed'. If not, it is reported as 'Unconfirmed'. We, as the merchant, are required to ship only to 'Confirmed' addresses. Otherwise, we are not covered by their Seller Protection program. If you provide payment by one of those methods and request shipment to an Unconfirmed address, we may refund your payment and cancel your order. Currently, the only countries covered by the Seller Protection program are the U.S., Canada and U. K.

What guarantees do I get?
We warrant that the item you receive will be the one that was described to you and that its condition will be as described. Because nearly everything we sell has been used, it is important for you to read our descriptions carefully. They contain everything we know about the items offered. If we are unable to test operation, we cannot guarantee the item will work, and offer it 'as-is', with no guarantees of operation. Should you have complaints, we will work with you to resolve them. We have worked for many years to establish our good reputation and will not jeopardize it by cheating you. Please understand however that changing your mind or finding that an item we sold to you 'as-is' does not work are not grounds for complaint. If there is a problem, we may resolve it by replacing the item, repairing it or by sending replacement parts to you. You will pay the costs associated with shipping and returning items. Do not return an item without receiving authorization and instructions from us in advance. If we agree to allow an item to be returned, and subsequently determine that it was without just cause, we may charge a Restocking Fee of up to 20% of the item's value. Items must be returned to us within 10 days or they will not be accepted. If returned items are damaged, either through shipping or customer handling, we will determine the cost of the damage and adjust the amount to be refunded accordingly. We will always be fair. You acknowledge that you have read and accept this return policy as a term of this purchase agreement by placing your order with us. Be certain you insure a returned item if its value warrants it, otherwise you will be personally responsible for the damage.

Like any other business, we reserve certain rights. These include, but are not limited to:
1. Due to the labor involved in processing orders, we have a $9.98 minimum for the total of all items in an order, excluding freight. We are sorry to find it necessary, but orders smaller than that are just not profitable for us.
2. We may refuse to sell to people who have given us cause by not honoring their promise to send payment, by sending us bad checks or just by being obnoxious.
3. We are professionals and seldom make typographical errors in pricing. In the rare event that we do, we are not obligated to sell at a price that was posted in error.
4. Most things we sell are used and were not designed or built by us. We disclaim any liability for damages or personal injury which may be incurred by our customers in using items they purchase from us. By submitting an order, you certify that you understand and accept the terms of this policy.
