What Personal Information About Customers Does Your Website Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience on our website. Here are the types of information we gather.

  • Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, fulfilling orders, customizing future shopping for you, improving our store features, and communication with you.
  • Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites, we sometimes use cookies, and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our website. This information is no different than what anyone else may collect. The information obtained has to do with what operating system you use (Windows or Macintosh) and what type of browser you use (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.) It also tells us what size screen you are viewing from. This helps us to deliver a better website to you. No other information is gathered.
  • E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more productive to improve service and your shopping experience, we sometimes send you newsletters of our services and products, notifications of changes to our policies, and order confirmations. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, other than order notifications and receipts, please adjust your Subscription preferences by logging into your account.
  • What About Cookies?

    Cookies are alphanumeric identifier text files that we transfer to your computers hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

    Do You Share the Information It Receives?

    NEVER! We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. At no time do we ever provide your account contact or payment information to any third party vendor, associate or service provider unless absolutely neccessary in order to complete your transaction and order.

    How Secure Is Information About Me?

    We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for purchasing of our products or services. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer by clicking the log off link located in the side menu.

    Which Information Can I Access?

    We give you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with us for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

    Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

    If you choose to visit our website, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of our local state. If you have any concern about privacy of your personal information as used and collected within our website, please send us a thorough description by clicking on the Contact Us link on the side menu, and we will try to resolve it.

    Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.

    Information You Give Us

    You provide most such information when you search, buy, order, post reviews, or other methods of communication via our website or email to us. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers. We will never email you or call you unless there is an update to your order or we need additional information regarding an order.

    Please realize that you are responsible when you order the wrong part, change your mind, or have other obvious ordering errors. Even in these instances, Summit Equipment will work to accommodate you. In order to avoid charging the expense of this return procedure to all our customers (i.e., higher prices), we do ask that your decision to return be made promptly to insure "no hassle" for you or for us. To insure that everyone is treated fairly, no exceptions can be allowed. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible. Please note that we do not pay the shipping charges involved in returning goods, unless the error was made by us. However, upon receipt and inspection by us of the returned item, if it is determined that Summit Equipment is in error, the cost of returning the product (not to exceed the original cost of shipping the product to you) will be credited to your credit card. A receipt of this freight charge will be required by Summit Equipment to accurately apply this to your account. Expedited shipping charges beyond normal ground delivery including but not limited to 3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air are non-refundable. On exchange of defective products or replacement as a consequence of our error, Summit Equipment will pay for ground shipping on the outbound replacement product only.
    NO RETURNS ACCEPTED AFTER 14 DAYS. The returns process must begin within 14 days of delivery. You must contact Summit Equipment for an RGA#, which will be e-mailed to you. This # must be referenced on your return. We recommend you use some type of shipping method that requires recipient to sign upon delivery. This is for your protection as well as ours.
    Damaged Shipments All shipments should be inspected at time of delivery. Packages that have obvious damage should be refused and will returned back to us by the carrier except for freight items. If after acceptance of the package you find damage, you will have 48 hours to file a formal claim with the carrier. DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED PARTS TO US. Keep the package and parts as close as possible to the condition in which you received them. Without the package, the carrier will void your claim. Claims for shortages due to carrier negligence must be made within five (5) working of receipt of merchandise.
