5.) Sales/Use Tax Information:

Residents of Louisiana & Pennsylvania: Please see important sales tax information:

Your state of residence requires that we inform you that although Monoprice is not obligated to and does not collect your state’s sales tax, this purchase is subject to your state’s sales tax unless specifically exempt from taxation. A purchase is not exempt from sales tax merely because it is made over the Internet. Your state requires that its taxpayers file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all non-exempt purchases that were not taxed and pay tax on those purchases. Further information, including details of how to file a sales/use tax return, may be found here:

Louisiana residents: www.rev.state.la.us

Monoprice only charges the shipping fee for packages. You should check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be.

7.) Limited Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

Monoprice warranties sometimes vary by product, and all product-specific warranties are found on product ID pages and within Monoprice’s website.

After 30 days of delivery and during the warranty period, Monoprice will, without cost to you, at Monoprice’s option, either (i) repair defective products; (ii) furnish replacement products; or (iii) grant you credit equal to the defective products’ net purchase price. Defective conditions in the products caused by third parties, acts of God, defective installation, other trades, abnormal use or stress, or other matters unrelated to Monoprice’s activities are specifically excluded from the coverage of this warranty. You also hereby agree to be bound by Monoprice’s return and replacement policies.
