      </p>
      <p>
        The platform is intended primarily for business, commercial, and wholesale purchasing
        activities. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of the current published

      <h2>2. Accounts, Access &amp; Age Restrictions</h2>
      <p>
        Users must maintain an approved, active account to access pricing, wholesale volume
        discounts, or order placement features. Account data provided to us must remain
        completely accurate and up to date.
      </p>
      <p>
        To purchase restricted or regulated goods (including tobacco products), you must meet
        the legal age requirement of your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to mandate strict
        digital age verification prior to account approval or order dispatch. You are solely
        responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for any
        activity performed through your account.

    <section id="orders-payments">
      <h2>3. Orders, Payments &amp; Compliance</h2>
      <p>
        Orders submitted through the platform are subject to review, stock confirmation, and
        final acceptance. Payment terms, invoice schedules, and fulfillment approval may vary
        by buyer account.
      </p>
      <p>
        We reserve the right to limit quantities, request regulatory verification, or adjust/cancel
        payments if order details appear incomplete, fraudulent, or outside approved
        commercial terms.
      </p>
    </section>

    <section id="pricing-taxes">
      <h2>4. Pricing, Taxes &amp; Assumptions</h2>
      <p>
        Displayed pricing, promotions, and product availability are subject to change without
        notice until an order is officially confirmed. Bulk pricing depends on account type,
        volume, or region. All listed prices exclude applicable sales tax, tobacco excise taxes,
        and customs duties unless explicitly stated.
      </p>
      <p>
        The buyer assumes absolute liability for tracking, reporting, and remitting all local sales
        taxes, consumer use taxes, and product‑specific excise duties applicable within their
        delivery jurisdiction. To buy tax‑free for resale, the buyer must provide a valid, verified
        Tax Exemption Certificate prior to ordering; otherwise, standard regional sales tax will
        be automatically applied at checkout.
      </p>
      <p>
        The buyer maintains full responsibility for holding the necessary state or local business
        licenses required to receive or resell these goods.
      </p>
    </section>

    <section id="shipping-delivery">
      <h2>5. Shipping, Delivery &amp; Regulated Goods</h2>
      <p>
        Delivery timelines are estimates only and can be affected by warehouse scheduling,
        supplier readiness, and transport availability. Certain products may require an adult
        signature and photo ID verification upon delivery.
      </p>
      <p>
        We do not ship regulated products to states or jurisdictions where online distribution is
        legally prohibited. Risk of loss transfers to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier.
        Inspection windows and reporting requirements for delivery issues will be defined in
        final operational invoices.
      </p>
    </section>

    <section id="returns-refunds">
      <h2>6. Returns &amp; Refunds</h2>
      <p>
        Return eligibility depends strictly on item category, condition, temperature control
        requirements, and manufacturer rules. Regulated items, including tobacco, may be
        strictly non‑returnable. Approved refunds, credits, or replacements will follow the
        specific policy attached to the buyer account and product type at the time of purchase.
      </p>
    </section>

    <section id="liability-contact">
      <h2>7. Liability &amp; Contact</h2>
      <p>
        To the maximum extent permitted by law, Price n Company is not liable for indirect,
        incidental, or consequential loss arising from delayed access, stock shortages,
        regulatory holds, or third‑party service interruptions.
      </p>
      <p>
        If you need clarification regarding these terms, please contact our support or sales
        team through the channels listed on our website.

    <section id="buyer-warranties">
      <h2>8. Buyer Warranties &amp; Indemnification</h2>
      <h3>Buyer Warranties</h3>
      <p>
        The buyer expressly warrants that they hold all valid, active, and legally required state,
        local, and federal licenses—including but not limited to Tobacco Retail/Wholesale
        Licenses, valid Tax Exemption Certificates, and General Business Permits—necessary
        to purchase, receive, possess, and resell goods obtained from Price n Company.
      </p>
      <h3>Indemnification</h3>
      <p>
        The buyer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Price n Company, its parent
        entities, and logistics partners against any claims, fines, regulatory penalties, or legal
        actions arising from the buyer's failure to maintain valid licensing or comply with
        regional distribution laws.

    <section id="returns-policy">
      <h2>9. B2B E‑Commerce Return &amp; Refund Policy</h2>
      <p>
        Price n Company (“Price &amp; Co.”) operates as a dedicated wholesale and B2B
        commercial platform. Our logistical operations are engineered to sustain high‑volume
        supply integrity, and our Return &amp; Refund Policy is tailored to licensed commercial
        businesses, corporate buyers, and retailers.
      </p>

      <h3>9.1 Standard Return Window &amp; Eligibility</h3>
      <p>
        Standard inventory shortages, order discrepancies, or physical item damage must be
        logged via your account platform dashboard within five (5) business days following
        official carrier delivery confirmation. Requests introduced outside of this 5‑day
        inspection window will be voided without recourse.
      </p>
      <p>To qualify for an authorized return credit or physical exchange, all items must:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Be housed entirely in original, unaltered, and unopened manufacturer packaging.</li>
        <li>Be free from structural store‑level retail stickers, markings, pricing stamps, or outer writing.</li>
        <li>Be accompanied by the original commercial packing slip and system‑generated RMA ticket.</li>

      <h3>9.3 Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Process</h3>
      <ol>
        <li>
          <strong>Dashboard Submission:</strong>
          Log into your verified business portal, navigate to your order history log, and select
          the specific invoice showing discrepancy. Submit an electronic request specifying
          quantities and structural proof (digital imagery required for transit damage claims).
        </li>
        <li>
          <strong>RMA Issuance:</strong>
          Following a manual compliance evaluation by our account support team, an approved
          RMA document and localized barcode will be transmitted to your email within two (2)
          operating business days.
        </li>
        <li>
          <strong>Packaging &amp; Freight:</strong>
          Affiliate the barcode clearly to the exterior of the master freight container. Unless an
          item is proven fundamentally defective or mis‑shipped due to our warehouse error,
          all inbound return shipping freight, customs duties, and transit insurance costs are the
          sole liability of the buyer.
        </li>
      </ol>

      <h3>9.4 Refusal of Delivery &amp; Restocking Charges</h3>
      <p>
        If a buyer rejects an authorized, compliant carrier shipment at their destination dock
        without valid cause (excluding documented transit destruction), the order will be
        reverted to our main warehouse hub. In such instances, Price &amp; Co. will deduct all
        outbound and inbound freight costs plus a mandatory 20% logistics mitigation and
        restocking surcharge directly from any resulting commercial credits.
      </p>

      <h3>9.5 Issuance of Commercial Credit</h3>
      <p>
        Price n Company operates purely under commercial trade accounts. We do not provide
        cash, credit card, or check refunds to B2B buyers. Approved returns result exclusively in
        the allocation of a Commercial Credit Balance applied directly to your wholesale buyer
        ledger profile. This balance will be applied automatically toward your next consecutive
        billing invoice or future purchase queue. Credit balances are non‑transferable and
        expire twelve (12) calendar months following the formal date of issuance.
      </p>

      <h3>9.6 Contact for Policy Auditing</h3>
      <p>
        For escalation of complex order discrepancies, batch anomalies, or logistical carrier
        disputes, please contact our Compliance and Operational Team through the formal
        website channels. Price &amp; Co. reserves the right to modify this operational framework
        dynamically to track evolving legal tax compliance requirements and platform logistics
        updates.

      <h2>10. Tobacco Category &amp; Regulatory Gate Notice</h2>
      <p>

        Tobacco Retailer/Wholesaler License <strong>and</strong> a verified Tax Exemption Certificate must be
        actively on file in your account portal.
      </p>
      <p>
        All orders are subject to manual compliance verification and third‑party identity
        age‑gating. Deliveries strictly require an adult signature (21+) with a valid government
        photo ID upon arrival. Orders missing required tax or licensing documentation will be
        automatically canceled.

        orders. Buyers must provide a commercial loading dock or clear delivery access point.
