Fast, accurate quotes
  We're committed to providing you with an accurate quote by phone, in writing, via fax, or by email.

Purchase orders
  Due to the complex nature of the networking business, we require one P.O. per order from our customers. No order can be processed without a P.O. When the order is processed, a sales invoice is generated and faxed to the customer. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure the accuracy of the order by carefully reviewing the information on the invoice.

Order cancellation
  Once placed, orders may not be canceled without good cause. It is our company policy not to do business with customers who cancel orders without good cause, who refuse to accept delivery, who do not pay as agreed or who place a stop payment on a check written to us for payment of goods or services.

Returns and exchanges
  Our goal is to save you up to 90% off the list price on most in-demand networking communications hardware, and we want you to be totally satisfied with your purchase. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase and it is within 30 days of delivery, and the product was sold from existing stock, we will accept the return of the working item in the same condition and packaging in which it was received subject to a 15% restocking fee. If a product was purchased specifically to fill your order and was not available in our inventory at that time, it is non-returnable. Customer is responsible for any freight charges on all returns.
