Sales Policy

General

All prices are quoted in US dollars. Merchandise, product specifications, availability, imagery and prices depicted are subject to change without notice. Items designated as Clearance or Final Sale are drastically marked down and are not eligible refund or exchange unless defective. Prices in effect at the time of order placement will apply. Clients who provide incorrect shipping data will be responsible for all costs related to retrieving and/or reshipping the order.

Online Pole Studio works hard to ensure that every item we offer is in stock and available for immediate shipment. Most orders ship within 24 hours of being placed - In the rare event that an ordered item remains unavailable to ship after 72 hours have elapsed, Online Pole Studio will inform clients via the email address entered on the checkout page order form.

Items which specify an ETA, or expected ship date (typically pre-order and backordered items) are date listed as accurately as possible. In many cases, Online Pole Studio relies on estimated in-stock dates from third-party vendors and suppliers. Please understand that we do our very best to provide the most accurate estimates possible with the data available to us, however, delays beyond our control do occasionally occur, which is precisely why we list these ship dates as expected - please plan accordingly.

Online Pole Studio respects your privacy and is dedicated to security - all client data is encrypted using strong RC4 128-bit SSL security - countries which do not support 128-bit encryption will fall back to the highest level supported by that country. The complete Online Pole Studio privacy policy is available here.

In an effort to minimize fraud, your credit or debit card's issuing bank, and/or the card's payment processor (American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa) may require that we contact you to verify your identity and/or to confirm that the card being used is in your possession. Typically we are required to obtain a photocopy or facsimile of the card, and one form of a government-issued photo ID These documents are securely destroyed immediately after a verification or non-verification is determined.

Please note that these mandated fraud prevention measures may delay the shipment of your order - we will promptly email and/or call the daytime phone number that you provided in an effort to minimize any delays. Please check your email and voice mail frequently if you've placed an order with us and expect it to ship as quickly as possible

Changes or modifications to customer orders may be done at anytime prior to shipping - EXCEPT if a 'gift' credit card was used for payment. Gift credit cards are the purchasable variety that do not bear a card holders name. Be aware that any changes or modifications to an order will result in a second authorization, sometimes called a Pending Charge, on the card holder's transaction record. The first authorization, posted to the account at the original order amount, will expire in 2 - 30 days depending on the issuing bank's policy regarding authorization expiration.

In other words, if you modify an order after it has been placed on our web site, you'll see a line item on your transaction record that represents the original order amount - this is not a charge, it's simply an authorization that occurred when you placed the original order and it will vanish in a few days. The amount of this temporary authorization will not be available on your credit card account until the authorization expires.
