4. Product Information, Pricing & Inventory
4.1 Product Descriptions
We sell indoor & outdoor lighting fixtures, LED lamps, mounting hardware and matching accessories. We strive to provide accurate photos, dimensions, material descriptions and installation guides, but minor color differences caused by screen displays, light environments and production batches are not deemed product defects. Specifications are subject to minor manufacturer updates without prior notice.
4.2 Pricing & Taxes
All product prices displayed on the website are denominated in US Dollars (USD), excluding shipping fees, customs duties, sales tax and import fees (where applicable). We reserve the right to adjust retail prices at any time before order confirmation. If pricing errors occur due to system bugs, we reserve the right to cancel unshipped orders and issue full refunds.
Sales tax will be automatically calculated and added at checkout based on your delivery address as required by US state tax regulations.
4.3 Inventory & Out-of-Stock
All inventory quantities are real-time estimates. If your ordered item becomes out of stock after payment, we will contact you within 3 business days to offer a full refund, product substitution or order delay option. No compensation will be provided for temporary inventory shortages.
5. Order Placement, Payment & Cancellation
- An order is only officially confirmed once you complete successful payment and receive our automated order confirmation email. Payment methods supported include credit card, PayPal and other third-party authorized payment channels. All payment transactions are encrypted and processed by secure third-party gateways; we do not store your full credit card data.
- You authorize us to charge your selected payment method for the full order amount at checkout. If payment fails repeatedly, your order will be automatically canceled after 24 hours.
- Standard unshipped orders can be fully canceled within 48 hours of purchase by emailing info@blckigd.com with your order number.
- Custom-made, personalized, custom-size lighting items cannot be canceled once production starts. Orders already dispatched to logistics carriers cannot be canceled; you must follow our official return process after delivery.
- We reserve the right to reject or cancel any order for reasonable reasons, including suspected fraud, abnormal bulk purchases, invalid shipping addresses or repeated policy violations. We will issue a full refund for all canceled orders processed by us.
6. Shipping, Delivery & Customer Responsibilities
All shipping rules, delivery timelines, logistics tracking and damaged-on-arrival claims are governed by our independent Shipping Policy. Key obligations for customers:
- Provide a complete, accurate, deliverable shipping address with valid contact phone number; we are not responsible for delivery failures caused by wrong addresses, missed pickup or recipient absence.
- Inspect packages within 7 calendar days after delivery for breakage, missing parts or manufacturing defects and provide unboxing photos/videos for claims; late inspection requests may be rejected.
- For customer-initiated voluntary returns, you bear all return shipping fees, customs charges and a 15% restocking fee as stated in our Returns & Refunds Policy.
7. Returns, Refunds & Warranty
All return eligibility, non-returnable goods, RMA application procedures, refund timelines and restocking fees are fully defined in our Returns & Refunds Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
- Standard lighting fixtures carry a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty against material and workmanship defects, excluding damage from improper installation, human collision, water ingress, overvoltage or daily wear.
