The Customer shall notify the customer service about any change of data in active orders by sending an email to info@hottubss.com.

 

The essential features, attributes, and instructions for using the product can be found on the product information page of each product. If the product has more favorable or more advantageous properties than the information provided on the Site or in the instructions for use, that is considered to be the proper fulfillment of the contractual obligations of Hot Tub Superstore. If the Customer is in need of more information about the quality, basic attributes, use and usability of any product on our Site they can contact us at info@hottubss.com.

 

Upon placing the order the system shall generate an automatic response that sends a message to the Customer’s email address from a no-reply email address. However, neither this message not the submission of the order results in a contract between the Customer and Hot Tub Superstore. The contract is entered into by and between the Customer and Hot Tub Superstore when a Hot Tub Superstore associate sends an email to the Customer and confirms the order. A confirmation of receipt shall be electronically delivered to the Customer by Hot Tub Superstore. Such confirmation of receipt from the Hot Tub Superstore associate shall arrive in 72 hours from placing the order online and upon receipt of the no-reply email message.

 

This confirmation of receipt via email shall contain the Customer’s information inputted by the Customer during the online order process as well as the order identification, the list of ordered items, their quantity, the price of the product, the method and planned date of delivery, the shipping cost and the total amount paid by the Customer. This confirmation email informs the Customer that their order has been received by Hot Tub Superstore and whether the ordered item is available. If the ordered item is not available the confirmation of receipt will inform the Customer when it will become available again. If the confirmation of receipt email informs the Customer that the ordered item is not available, Customer shall have the right to cancel the contract within 72 hours from the receipt of email unless the product has shipped. If the confirmation of receipt email informs the Customer that the ordered item is available, Customer shall be obligated to respond within 72 hours from the receipt of email to assist the Hot Tub Superstore associates in making arrangements for the date of delivery.

 

The Customer is required to review the content of the confirmation email, its attachment or the links contained therein, if any for the accuracy of the information the Customer provided. Any additional delivery charges or other costs or delay that may be due to incorrectly or insufficient information, is borne by the Customer. If the Customer received the confirmation email and notices any error or inaccurate information, the Customer has to notify us at info@hottubss.com not later than in 24 hours upon receipt of the confirmation email.

 

The confirmation of receipt constitutes the acceptance of Hot Tub Superstore in connection with the Customer’s order and creates a binding contract between the Customer and Hot Tub Superstore. The Customer shall be exempt from entering into a binding contract if the Customer does not receive a confirmation of receipt via email from Hot Tub Superstore within 72 hours.

 

Hot Tub Superstore may add other products and services at any time. Such other services and products shall be considered part of the Service and may be subject to additional or different terms and conditions.

 

CANCELLATION OF THE ORDER

The purchase order may also be canceled if the confirmation of receipt email informs the Customer that the ordered item is not available; in this case Customer shall have the right to cancel the contract within 24 hours from the receipt of email.

 

The purchase order may be modified without any consequences within 24 hours from the date when the order confirmation was sent to the Customer via email by a Hot Tub Superstore associate, if it comes to Customer’s knowledge that a different kind of hot tub should have been ordered, i.e.: different in size, capacity, features, etc. is needed. If the Consumer wishes to modify the order and consequently amend the contract with Hot Tub Superstore, the Customer has to notify us at info@hottubss.com as soon as possible but not later than 24 hours from when the order confirmation was sent by a Hot Tub Superstore associate to the Customer.
