Performance and Shipment of the Order
Beaconit.ro shall use its best endeavors to send ordered Beacons pursuant to the Confirmation and the Agreement, in particular, to deliver them as fast as possible, in a package that ensures their safety and integrality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that the delivery time may be prolonged by the time of duration of an obstacle due to circumstances beyond the control of Beaconit.ro, i.e. unexpected, prolonged or numerous custom inspections or unforeseeable disturbances in transport. We are not responsible for the customs arrangements in your jurisdiction, and have no control over this process.
You acknowledge that Beaconit.ro shall not be obliged to perform the Order until all due payments for the Order are received.
Delivery
Either you or one of your employees or agents authorized to pick up the consignment (all referred to as the “Recipient”) shall confirm the receipt of the Order by a personal signature on the bill of lading. Recipient is obliged to examine carefully the delivered Beacons upon their receipt, both in terms of their quality and quantity.
Recipient shall report immediately to the shipping handler and Beaconit.ro. (via e-mail and/or telephone) all apparent damage, defects or discrepancies of the consignment suggesting damage or defects of Beacons and/or quantitative discrepancies of the consignment, as well as to confirm this fact on the bill of lading. Beaconit.ro shall review the complaint. Only if the Recipient fulfills its reporting obligations and Beaconit.ro establishes that the facts of the case indicate that the complaint is justified, Beaconit.ro shall at its own expense immediately replace the defective units of Beacons or send any missing number of units. Other ways of compensation for incomplete or defective Orders are explicitly excluded.
Risk of Loss; Responsibilities
Once these Beacons leave our premises, you assume full responsibility for all claims, loss, damage, liability or expense arising from your acts, negligence or omissions and your employees or agents, and shipping agents, relating to transportation, handling, storage, maintenance and use of the delivered Beacons, formalities related to custom controls and other legislative requirements.
Battery Replacement
The batteries in some of our Beacons are replaceable without special tools and you can do it on your own. While the replacement process itself is simple and easy enough, you should take care to safely remove and replace the coin cell battery in order to ensure the Beacon will function properly after replacement. If you mishandle or damage the Beacon when replacing the battery, we cannot guarantee that the Beacon will function after the battery is replaced and our Warranty (as described in the Returns & Warranty document) will not cover the damage.
We use standard batteries which should be available anywhere in the world. If you ever need new batteries and cannot find suitable replacements, just contact us we’ll help you find the right kind.
Beacons with Irreplaceable Batteries
Some Beacons have batteries which are not replaceable by the user either because of the special nature of the battery or because the case is not designed to be opened. For such Beacons, Beaconit.ro can only guarantee that the hardware will perform as designed for the life of the Beacons. Once the battery has discharged itself, it is incumbent upon the owner of the Beacon to take the Beacons and battery to an appropriate recycling facility.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Beaconit.ro may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other Party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement.

A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Beaconit.ro Account.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in the State of New York.

If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the arbitration provision shall be null and void. 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.
Force Majeure
Beaconit.ro shall not be in breach of the Agreement nor be liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under the Agreement if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control.
