Terms And Conditions Of Use

Privacy Policy

Ingrams takes user privacy very seriously. Please review the Privacy Policy for more information.

Arbitration of Disputes

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Disputes and claims that may relate in any way to your use of this Website, or any products or services purchased through this Website or any distributed by us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather that in court. You may, should your claims qualify, assert your claims in small claims court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual bases the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding regarding a claim or dispute related to your use of our Website and/or products as previously detailed herein, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and a description of your claim or dispute to Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment, Attention Legal Department, 50 Remington Way Hickory, KY 42051. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will conduct any necessary arbitration under its rules arising from any properly submitted claims or disputes. This includes the AAA’s Supplementary Procedure for Consumer-Related Disputes.

The AAA’s rules are available online at www.adr.org. The AAA’s rules will govern the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Installation

If you purchase heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment or other products from our Website, you may choose of your own volition to have the product installed by an accredited third-party. Should you do so, you acknowledge that Ingrams has no affiliation or control over any third-party installer, and that Ingrams has not verified any ability among third-party installers to competently install HVAC equipment or other products.

Third-party installers such as, but not limited to, licensed HVAC contractors, plumbers, or electricians are not employees and/or agents of Ingrams, but are independent individuals or entities who may or may not have any relationship with Ingrams whatsoever. You assume full responsibility and any risk for the transaction with the third-party installer; this includes, but is not limited to, scheduling, communication, installation fees, equipment warranty terms validation, future maintenance agreements, and outcome.

Ingrams disclaims any liability for services and actions performed by third-party installers. Ingrams will not act as your agent or contact an installer on your behalf. You are urged to investigate any individual and/or business entity offering installation services prior to engaging their services. If you decide to post a product review and include information, positive or negative, on a third-party installer, you are subject to Ingrams review terms and conditions set forth herein including the right to remove such a review should we judge it to be outside of the bounds of an authorized product review.

Furthermore, any purchaser who does not possess the necessary Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) licensing is prohibited by federal law from intentionally opening HVAC refrigerant lines to allow chemical refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere. Allowing refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere, intentionally or through gross negligence or otherwise, may be subject to fines and other criminal penalties. Only HVAC contractors and other professionals appropriately licensed in accordance with federal law should handle the refrigerant contained in any product purchased on our Website.

Licensed HVAC contractors who purchase equipment from Ingrams for use by a third-party neither known nor approved by Ingrams, acknowledge that they are an independent agent, have no direct affiliation with Ingrams, are not employed by Ingrams, and may not represent themselves as being affiliated with Ingrams in any way whatsoever. They may not use any Ingrams Mark, Logo or any of Ingram’s intellectual property without the prior express written consent of Ingrams. Ingrams reserves the right to ban any licensed HVAC contractor from using this Website at any time in its sole discretion and the right to change functions of its service, including the termination of said service, or these terms and conditions of use at any time.

Trademarks

All trademarks, service marks and logos (“Trademarks”) used and displayed on this Website are the registered and unregistered Trademarks of Ingrams and others.

Warranty Disclaimer

Ingrams provides assistance for all offered products that include manufacturer parts warranties. Buyers who have purchased a manufacturer warrantied product from this Website and abided by the relevant terms and conditions of the warrantied product, will receive assistance in executing the terms of a non-expired and valid manufacturer warranty. In no instance will Ingrams be required to provide on-site personnel to diagnose or repair products in the field. Ingrams may require a buyer to retain the services of a licensed HVAC contractor in order to properly diagnose a malfunctioning product before a warranty claims process begins.

In the event that a licensed HVAC contractor determines a specific product part has failed, been damaged, or is otherwise inoperable through no fault of the buyer, Ingrams will begin a warranty claims process with the buyer. It is the buyer’s responsibility to package and ship the identified and defective part back to Ingrams at no cost to Ingrams. Ingrams will package and ship a replacement part as covered by the valid manufacturer warranty at no cost to Ingrams. All shipping costs during the warranty process will be paid by the buyer.

The aforementioned assistance that may be provided by Ingrams applies only to manufacturer warranties relevant to product components. Ingrams will not act as an agent on your behalf in meeting the terms of a labor warranty provided by a product manufacturer.

Ingrams does not uniquely warrant or make any representation regarding the use, validity, accuracy, or reliability of, or the result of the use of, or otherwise respecting, the materials or products on this site or any sites linked to this site. Where specified on individual product entries on this Website, manufacturers offer product warranties of varying terms and conditions to the end user. Ingrams claims no responsibility as to the manufacturer’s ability to meet the terms and conditions of any product warranty. Any legal claims made against a product manufacturer regarding a product warranty are solely the responsibility of the buyer.

This Website and the information provided herein are provided “as is” with no non-manufacturer warranties of any kind either express or implied. To the fullest extent possible pursuant to the applicable law, Ingrams disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or other violation of rights.

Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, gross negligence, shall Ingrams be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, harm to products, goods, private or public property, and/or personal injury or death arising out of the use or misuse of the products on this site, even if Ingrams or an authorized representative of Ingrams has been advised as to the possibility of such damages. You assume all cost and liability for the servicing, repair or correction of any product or materials from this site. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
