Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: April 15, 2024

At AudioCityUSA, we are committed to providing our customers with excellent products and top-notch service. To ensure a smooth experience, it is important to familiarize yourself with our Terms & Conditions. Failure to comply with these terms may result in the rejection of refunds, exchanges, or warranty replacements. Please read the following carefully to fully understand our policies.

Lowest Price Guarantee

We go above and beyond to offer you the best prices on wheels and accessories. If you come across a lower price advertised on another website, we are happy to match or beat it. However, there are a few requirements to qualify for this guarantee:

ㆍThe competing website must be an authorized dealer of the brand of wheels.
ㆍThey must have the exact wheels in stock with the correct offset and size.
ㆍThe price must be provided in writing; we do not accept screenshots of checkout carts or emails as proof.
ㆍWe reserve the right to verify the pricing and availability by contacting the merchant.
ㆍWe do not honor price matching from websites that do not advertise the correct MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) pricing.
ㆍWe also reserve the right to refuse the guarantee if we determine that the website is fraudulent or not an authorized dealer.

Sale Price and Promotions Policy

We strive to provide our customers with exceptional deals and promotions on wheels and accessories. However, it is important to note the following policies regarding sale prices and promotions:

ㆍSale Price Changes: The sale price of any wheels on sale is subject to change without prior notice. As most sale items are in limited supply, once they are sold out, the sale on those specific wheels will end. While we make every effort to remove listings for sold-out items, in the event that a customer's order has already been placed, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a refund if we are unable to reach an agreement with the customer on a suitable substitute, at our discretion.
ㆍPricing Accuracy: We constantly update our inventory and pricing. However, human errors may occur, and we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. Rest assured, we will make every effort to honor pricing on a case-by-case basis and ultimately at our discretion.
ㆍPromotions and Offers: Throughout the year, we offer various promotions and special deals to our valued customers. Please note that promotions can end abruptly if a new promotion becomes available. We reserve the right to refuse to honor a promotion or sale if the promotional period has ended. Additionally, promotions cannot be combined with other offers or discounts.
ㆍAvailability and Modifications: All promotions and offers are subject to availability and can be canceled or modified at any time without prior notice.

Product Availability Policy

We make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date product information on our website. All products offered on our websites are special orders. However, due to the wide range of custom wheel styles we offer from various manufacturers, it's important to understand the availability of these products:

ㆍInventory and Manufacturers: We maintain our own inventory for some wheel styles, while others are available from the manufacturers' inventories. Please note that not all styles, colors, sizes, offsets, or bolt patterns are available at all times. Both our inventory and the manufacturers' inventories are subject to constant changes. 

ㆍUpdating Inventory: We strive to keep our website updated by removing discontinued styles and adding new ones. However, maintaining accurate and real-time inventory is an ongoing process, and we do our best to ensure its accuracy.

ㆍUnavailable Products: In the event that a product you ordered is unavailable, we reserve the right to decline, suspend, cancel, reject, or limit the quantities of that particular order. We will promptly notify you if any product(s) in your order are unavailable. If your credit card or PayPal account has already been charged for the order and the product is unavailable, we will make every effort to issue a refund promptly.

Pricing Policies

We strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date prices on our website. However, as humans, occasional typing errors may occur. If you come across a price that appears to be incorrect or exceptionally low (e.g., a $500.00 wheel listed for $5.00), it is likely an error. We will rectify any such errors as soon as they are brought to our attention.
 

Please note the following regarding our pricing policies:
ㆍPricing Errors: We reserve the right to decline, suspend, cancel, reject, or limit the quantities of any order placed due to pricing errors. If there is a discrepancy in the pricing of the product(s) you ordered, we will notify you promptly.

ㆍUnavailable Products: In the event that a product you ordered is unavailable, we will make every effort to issue a refund promptly if your credit card or PayPal account has already been charged for the order.

Fraud Prevention

We take fraud prevention seriously to ensure the security of our customers and maintain a trustworthy shopping environment. To safeguard against fraudulent activities, we employ various techniques and measures, including:

ㆍPayment Account Verification: We verify the payment account information provided by our customers to ensure its authenticity and validity.
ㆍAddress Confirmation: We conduct address confirmation checks to validate the accuracy and legitimacy of the shipping address.

ㆍThird-Party Verification: We may engage third-party services to assist us in validating, analyzing, or assessing the risk associated with any order placed on our website.

Please be aware of the following:
ㆍOrder Decline or Rejection: We reserve the right to decline or reject any order without providing a specific reason if we have valid concerns or suspicions regarding its legitimacy.
ㆍFraud Reporting and Legal Action: Any fraudulent attempts will be promptly reported to the appropriate authorities and pursued to the fullest extent of the law.

The available shipping methods may vary depending on the destination. Please note that certain products may require additional time for shipping due to factors beyond our control, including manufacturing, painting, modification, or assembly.
ㆍOversized Shipments: Oversized items may require truck freight or LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping, which differs from regular ground shipments. Please be aware that these items will require inspection and a signature upon delivery.

Please note that any applicable duties, taxes, and brokerage fees for international shipments are the responsibility of the recipient.
