Purchases can be made using American Express, Discover/Novus, MasterCard, Visa, and JCB credit or debit cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Cards not issued by a United States banking institution will not be accepted. For more information on payment methods accepted by Block/Square, please visit its website here. For your protection, we always verify that your information is correct. Therefore, we cannot accept credit cards from banks that do not allow address verification over the Internet. Please refer to your cardholder agreement for all rules and regulations pertaining to your card. Payment will be debited from your account immediately following notice of the dispatch of your purchase. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours. We use third-party service providers to process and authorize your payment. By placing an order, you are authorizing us and our third-party service provider(s) to charge you for your purchase using your selected payment method.

The price that is shown in the shopping cart is the amount you will be charged before applicable sales tax and shipping charges, which will be added to your order total. State laws require companies to collect sales tax from residents shipping merchandise to states where the company transacts business. Casio collects state and local sales tax where applicable. Where applicable, Buyer will provide Casio with an exemption certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the relevant taxing authorities. If you are tax exempt, please call 1-800-836-8580 to place your order. A copy of your Consumer Certificate of Exemption needs to be faxed to Casio at 973-537-8934.

8. Additional Terms. Prior to completing your purchase, carefully read any additional terms and conditions that are presented to you. Do not complete the sale if you do not agree to those terms. Where additional terms are delivered with your product or service, you must review them immediately. If you do not agree to those terms, you must not use the product or service and contact customer service to begin a return.

9. Return Policy. Casio products that you purchase come with a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return the product within thirty (30) calendar days from the delivery date to Casio and obtain a full refund of the original purchase price of the merchandise, excluding shipping and handling charges. This 30-Day Money Back Guarantee does not apply to any products you receive from redeeming your Points; all Points redemptions are final and there are no returns except in accordance with the terms of the G-SHOCK Points Program.

Buyer may then return the product, freight or postage prepaid, in its original shipping container, with the RMA clearly marked on the outside of the packaging.

No return or refund will be accepted or processed unless it includes the free gift item as well as the purchased product(s) being returned.

10. Warranty. Each product is subject to the terms of the limited warranty that is expressly stated on, packaged with, or accompanies the product. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable product limited warranty, the product ordered online is eligible for warranty service only within the United States. For the warranty applicable to a specific product, please visit Customer Support on the Site, click on “Warranty” and then click on the specific product for additional warranty and support information.

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event shall Casio’s total liability relating to or in connection with any products whether based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict product liability or otherwise, exceed the actual amount paid to Casio by Buyer for the product(s) giving rise to the liability. In no event shall Casio be liable for the costs of procurement of substitute good or services.

12. Exclusive Remedy. In the event that a Casio product ordered under these Terms fails to perform as warranted, Buyer’s exclusive remedy, and Casio’s sole liability therefore, shall be, at Casio’s option, the repair or replacement of any defective product or return of the purchase price. A product repaired or replaced under warranty will be further warranted only for the remainder of the warranty period. Repair parts and replacement products will be either reconditioned or new. If a product is found not to be defective or the defect is not covered by the warranty, Buyer will be responsible for the reasonable and necessary costs of Casio testing and repair at then current rates. Casio accepts no liability with respect to any software or data contained in any product or part returned to Casio for repair or replacement. Buyer agrees that the disclaimers and liability limitations contained in these Terms shall remain in effect even if an exclusive remedy is determined to fail of its essential purpose.

13. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Casio, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of our officers, employees, agents, partners, content providers, service providers, suppliers, and licensors (collectively “Released Parties”) harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from (1) your purchase of products and services made available through the Site; and (2) your fraudulent or deceptive acts or omissions, or breach or violation of law, including infringement of any intellectual property rights or breach of these Terms.

14. Mandatory Arbitration ProvisionPLEASE READ – THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. We hope that you are completely satisfied with your Casio product or service. We will make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that you have with us. However, if we are unable to resolve any dispute that arises in connection with your transaction, the Site, or these Terms to your satisfaction, these Terms govern the dispute resolution process. Any disputes relating to the G-SHOCK Points Program are governed by the dispute resolution provisions in the G-SHOCK Points Program Terms and Conditions.

Any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against us arising out of, relating to, or connected with the Site or your transaction shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by the AAA, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable) and as amended by these Terms (“Arbitration Rules and Procedures”).

The AAA’s Rules, and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings, are available at the AAA’s website located at http://www.adr.org.

This section applies to all consumers to the fullest extent allowable by law. The disputes governed by this Section include without limitation (1) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us; (2) claims that arose out of your use of the Site; and (3) claims currently the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class.

However, the dispute resolution procedure specifically does not apply to (1) a claim relating to the enforcement or validity of your or our intellectual property rights; or (2) a claim relating to an allegation of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use.

You agree that: (1) the arbitrator shall apply New Jersey law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, including principles of equity, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law; (2) the arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving us, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving both you and us to the extent required by applicable law; (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.

You and Casio agree that (1) each party can only bring claims against the other on an individual basis and there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; (2) arbitration can decide only your and/or Casio’s individual claims, and the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s); and (3) the arbitrator may not consolidate or join claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and may not otherwise preside of any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.

Except as specified in the paragraph immediately above, if any part of this Arbitration Provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures established by the AAA, then remaining provisions of the Arbitration Provision will not be affected and will be enforced to the fullest extent of the law.

YOU AND CASIO BOTH AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS YOU AND WE HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION.
