We promise to contact you if there are any problems with your order, in the event your order is canceled, or if additional information is required to complete your order. If your order is canceled after your credit card has been charged, we will issue a credit to you in the amount of the charge.
Title to purchased tools passes to you when the tool is shipped. Please let us know as soon as possible if anything is missing, wrong, or damaged with your tool order. We will do our best to resolve the matter. Please see Returns and Refunds Policy and Replacements sections below for further information.
5. Returns and Refunds Policy
Unless your purchase is eligible for our 90-Day Tool Cabinet Trial Offer, this Return Policy applies.
We accept returns from any order shipped within the USA up to 30 days after its purchase date. We do not accept returns of personalized or used items. Outlet items are nonreturnable. If you're returning items as a result of our error, we'll cover the cost of return shipping; otherwise, we'll deduct a return shipping fee from your refund amount. For most items, the return shipping fee is $10. Tool cabinet returns are free for orders shipped within the USA, excluding Alaska and Hawaii where a $175 return shipping fee applies. There is a 10% restocking fee on returns over $500.
We do not currently accept returns from orders shipped to Canada. However, we will still provide a full refund or replacement item in the event that we make a mistake or a product is defective.
In order to receive a refund, please visit the Returns page of the Site. Complete the steps and submit the required information on these pages. Please indicate on the Returns page if you are returning a tool because it is defective so that we can provide you a free replacement or full refund. Within one business day of receiving your return information, we will provide you a return shipping label to the email address you provide us. You must use this return shipping label, or some other form of traceable shipment that includes your issued return reference number, to send your products back to us. We will process your return and issue qualified refunds within ten business days of receiving your returned items at our facility.
In some rare cases, special rules may apply or certain tools may have a modified return policy. Damaged tools or returns without receipts or the packing slip may be denied a refund or exchange. Unfortunately, we cannot assume responsibility for misdirected or lost shipments.
6. 90-Day Trial Offer for Tool Cabinets
From time to time we may offer a 90-Day Trial period for first time-purchasers of our tool cabinets. In those cases, the following terms apply.
7. Changes to or Discontinuation of Tools
To better serve our customers or for any other reason, we may elect to make changes in tool design or construction at any time. Given the nature of tools, in most cases, we cannot incorporate such changes in tools previously sold. We may choose to discontinue the manufacture or offering for sale of any tool on the Site. Please check the Site for tool availability.

16. Mobile Terms of Service
The Tekton, Inc. mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Tekton, Inc. (“Tekton, Inc.”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
By consenting to Tekton, Inc.’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of Tekton, Inc. through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, notice of new products, and other marketing offers.
You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Tekton, Inc.. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.

17. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
We will try to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including any products or services ordered or purchased through the Site. However, there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to your satisfaction. In such cases, you and Tekton agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site, including products or services sold or made available through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Tekton are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any other contractual relationship between you and Tekton. The arbitration shall take place at a location in Kent County, Michigan, U.S. that is reasonably convenient for the parties, or another location that is mutually agreed upon by the parties. All documents, materials, and information in the possession of each party that are in any way relevant to the dispute shall be made available to the other party for review and copying no later than 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served. The arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority to modify any provision of these Terms or to award punitive damages. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to issue mandatory orders and restraint orders in connection with the arbitration. The decision rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered in conformity with the decision in any court having jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitration shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law.
YOU AND TEKTON AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Furthermore, unless you and Tekton both agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claim, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

In the event that any of the Terms are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
