1. Company Overview and Authorized Dealer Disclaimer
Vector Automation of America LLC is an independent reseller of new, new surplus, new open box, and used industrial automation parts and components. Vector Automation is not an authorized dealer, distributor, or affiliate of any original equipment manufacturer (OEM), including but not limited to Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, FANUC, Mitsubishi Electric, Omron, or any other brand whose products appear in our catalog. Designated trademarks, brand names, and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification purposes.
Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley Specific Disclaimer
Products sold by Vector Automation that are manufactured by Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley are used or surplus unless explicitly marked "Brand New." Vector Automation is not an authorized surplus dealer or affiliate for Rockwell Automation. The product may have older date codes or be an older series than that available directly from the factory or authorized dealers. Because Vector Automation is not an authorized distributor of these products, the Original Manufacturer's warranty does not apply. Vector Automation makes no representations as to your ability or right to download or otherwise obtain firmware for the product from Rockwell Automation, its distributors, or any other source.
2. Product Condition Definitions
All products are assigned one of the following condition codes, which govern the expected state of the product at the time of shipment.
| Condition | Definition |

| Brand New | Unopened in original factory packaging, unused, and in new condition as shipped from the original manufacturer. |
| New Surplus | Never put into service. May be in original or repackaged packaging. May be an older series or have older date codes. |

Vector Automation makes no representation that any product is the most current revision, series, or firmware version available from the original manufacturer.
3. Pricing and Payment
All prices are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping, or handling fees, which will be calculated and displayed at checkout.

4. Quote-Only Products
Certain products are designated as "Quote Only." These products require a custom quote prior to purchase and cannot be added directly to the shopping cart. Pricing is determined based on configuration, quantity, and current market conditions. To request a quote, click the "Request a Quote" button on the product page or contact us at info@vectorautomation.com or (616) 279-6046.

Risk of loss and title pass to the Buyer upon delivery to the carrier. It is the Buyer's responsibility to inspect all shipments upon receipt and to report any visible shipping damage to the carrier immediately.
6. Return Policy
Non-Warranty Returns: Customers may return New Surplus, New Open Box, or Used products within 30 calendar days of the invoice date, subject to a 25% restocking fee.

Vector Automation's obligation under this warranty is limited, at our sole discretion, to the repair or replacement of the defective product, or a credit equal to the amount paid.
This warranty does not apply to damage caused by improper installation, misuse, neglect, unauthorized modification, accident, acts of nature, or operation outside of the product's specified parameters.
