Terms of service

OVERVIEW
Welcome to AltE Store! The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to AltE Store. AltE Store operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). AltE Store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations or be the same as depicted or rendered in our online stores.
All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products that we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. AltE Store reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until AltE Store confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as AltE Store may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e‑mail, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Prices posted in our online stores may be different from prices offered in physical stores or in online or other stores operated by third parties. We may offer, from time to time, promotions on the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

You and AltE agree that the following terms and conditions are the exclusive terms governing the sales transaction between Customer and AltE.

In most cases expected ship dates for all items will be emailed to you within 48 hours of the time that your order is processed. Tracking information will also be emailed to you once your items ship.
International Orders
We have partnered with a third party to service our international customers.

Checkout by clicking the “Outside the U.S.?” button or at checkout, choose your international destination from the country drop down menu. Once you click the button or select your country and attempt to checkout, you will then be automatically transferred to a page where you will be provided with international shipping costs as well as duties and taxes for your shipment.

We will ship the goods to the third party distribution facility where they will process the order and transport the goods to your international address.

Back Orders

Security
Security is our number one priority. All on-line transactions are sent through our secure server and encrypted with 128-bit technology.

Privacy
AltE respects your privacy. We will not under any circumstances sell or release your information to anyone. All of the information obtained from our web site will be used for internal purposes only.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statement of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Change Orders
You may change your order for standard in stock items, provided that your order has not yet been processed. As noted in a separate paragraph, special orders cannot be changed once we receive your order acknowledgement. If your order has been processed we have the right to charge a 5% fee to change the order. If items have shipped the normal restock fee may apply. Please contact your sales person direct with any changes to be made and please have your order number available.
Special Orders
Many items that we offer are considered special order, built to order or custom built items. These items include but are not limited to power panels, battery boxes, many Zomeworks trackers, many Ironridge products, and many Direct Power and Water products. Your sales person should be able to provide you with more details when you place your order.
Lead times or ship dates that are suggested by the manufacturer are "approximate lead times" based on their expectations at the time they receive our orders. Please keep in mind that lead times may vary due to the volume of business the manufacturer may have at the time we place the order. Other factors may include shortage or delay of materials that are necessary for the build, that have occurred and are beyond the manufacturers control. These manufacturers will not accept cancellations for delays in shipping your order.
Most of the manufacturers that we deal with have a cancellation policy that will demand a cancellation fee, if the order is cancelled after they receive our purchase order. Fees can vary and may be as much as 25% of the order. Orders placed for these type of product will require an order acknowledgment from the customer, along with a 25% non-refundable fee for deposit of the product. This amount will be deducted from the total of your order, once the product ships.
Cancellation Policy
To cancel your order for standard in stock items, please call during our normal business hours and speak with your sales representative or someone in our customer support department. Provided your order has not yet been processed, and your credit card has not been charged there is no fee. As noted in a separate paragraph, special orders cannot be cancelled once we receive your order acknowledgment. If your order has already been processed and your card was charged, there is a 5% cancellation fee deducted from your refund. If any portion of your order has shipped, a 15% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. The refund will occur within 48 hours of the receipt of the cancellation or the return of all products that have shipped. Many of our products are custom built, built to order or special ordered items. These items include but are not limited to power panels, battery boxes, Ironridge products, some AET products, and many Direct Power and Water products. If you need to cancel an order for any of these products there is a cancellation fee even if the item has not shipped. The cancellation fee will vary depending on the manufacturer but may be as much as 30% of the cost of the item. This fee is the same fee that manufacturers pass onto us for canceling the order.
Product Listings
AltE product descriptions are not designed or intended to replace your personal product knowledge, experience and/or research or that of a professional installer or licensed electrician.
AltE strives to be as accurate as possible in our product descriptions, compatibility references, information content, pricing, links and any other product information contained in or referenced on our site. However, occasional human error may occur and we therefore cannot guarantee that all product descriptions, specifications, pricing or any other content on the site is entirely accurate, complete, current, or that we are responsible for these errors. In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, informational, technical or any other error, AltE at its sole discretion shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order for that product and immediately amend, correct or remove the inaccurate information. Moreover, all links on AltE's website are intended only to provide visitors with assistance finding additional information and professional opinion; however, due to the fast pace of the industry, complex nature and personal subjective experiences, reviews can become outdated or less accurate over time or even at inception and should therefore never be the sole determinate in a purchasing decision, or, most importantly, a substitute for doing ones own product research. Please remember to consider, you, our valued patron, are ultimately responsible for any purchase decision.
Product Reviews
AltE is not a forum for product reviews. AltE is a private site that conducts the business of selling renewable energy related products and as such, any specifications and information posted by AltE regarding products for sale must be factual. However, customer comments in regards to their experience with said products are the opinions of the user. The customer opinion reviews are used at the discretion of AltE as a marketing device for positive and constructive ways to share the benefit of the product. It is not used as a source for negative commentary as we cannot endorse the validity of any negative comment. Therefore, the AltE site is moderated to remove any unproven biased negative comments. It is not the intention of AltE to mislead any customer and therefore all purchase decisions should not be solely based on the product review.

Return Policy: Standard in stock merchandise purchased through AltE may be returned within 30 days of the receipt of the product. You will receive a refund or credit towards your account, provided the merchandise is returned in the original packaging in new and resalable condition with the original blank warranty cards, manuals, and all accessories.

If any component of the returned product is missing, if there is damage or the product has been used, the return procedure is breached and AltE may reject the return or may choose to impose additional charges for replacement of the missing component. A 15% restock fee will be charged for all returns unless you are a Preferred Installer. As noted in a separate paragraph, Special Orders, custom built, built to order or special ordered items, are non-returnable. Unless an error was made by AltE, shipping charges are not refundable. Before returning items, it is necessary to obtain an RMA # for your return. You can request and RMA # by:

Calling our Customer Service Staff
Monday - Friday, from 9AM-6PM EST toll free at 1(877) 211-8197 or 1(978) 562-5858

Once you have been instructed where to return the item you are responsible for shipping charges back to that address. Once issued, RMA numbers are valid for 15 days from the date issued and items must be received in that time frame. Please reference this number in a clear location on the outside of the package when returning product. The customer shall be responsible for the return of any unused product and agrees to use only reputable carriers capable of providing proof or delivery and insurance for the value of the shipment.

Sales Tax:

Prices quoted for merchandise may not include any applicable state or local taxes. altE ships to a variety of locations throughout the US and Canada. Sales tax may be charged in accordance with local laws and regulations, unless the buyer can provide a valid resale or tax exempt certificate.

Warranty Policy:

  • AltE is a distributor only. Products sold by AltE are not manufactured by the AltE therefore we do not warranty any of the products we sell. Most items that we sell are covered by the original manufacturer's warranty, service, or support policy (if any). In the event that there is a technical problem that occurs with your product upon receipt or installation of your product we urge you to contact the manufacturer directly. The customer shall be responsible for the return of any defective product and agrees to use only reputable carriers capable of providing proof of delivery and insurance for the value of the shipment.
