Coupons cannot be combined with other coupons OR any other discounts.
Coupons cannot be applied towards promotionally priced items.
Errors or misprints on coupons will not be honored.

USE OF TOOLS BY MINORS

All products sold by the Company are intended for use by adults over the age of 18 and are not intended for sale to, purchase by, or use by minors. If permission is granted from a parent or guardian to use any product sold by the Company, the parent or guardian agrees to be solely responsible for the use or misuse of the product by the minor child.

DUTIES AND TAXES

Applies only for eligible applicable countries outside of the U.S.

The destination country is subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied on orders shipped outside of the U.S. The recipient of an international shipment is subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are estimated once an order is placed or once the shipment reaches the recipient’s country. These taxes and fees are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the authority for the destination country. The Company has no control over setting these charges.

When ordering from the Company, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. Additionally, the recipient is responsible for assuring the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country. The payment of estimated import fees is the responsibility of the importer and is levied based on the laws of the country into which the products are being shipped. The Company may calculate an estimate of the amount due for customs duties, taxes and fees at the time of checkout. This estimate will be seen on the invoice as "Estimated Duties and Taxes."
