  • ORDERS AND PAYMENT TERMS

    After you place an order we will review the information you provided for validity by verifying your method of payment, billing and/or shipping address. Orders may not be accepted for delivery to certain addresses and territories based upon your location. We may contact you (via email or phone) if additional information is required to accept your order. Invalid order information will result in delays processing your order. For Product purchases, your receipt of an order confirmation does not constitute Beats' acceptance of your order. Without prior notification, Beats maintains the right to limit the Product order quantity and the right to refuse to sell Products to any customer for any reason or no reason at all. Beats reserves the right not to sell to resellers. If your order is canceled, we will attempt to notify you using the e-mail address you have given us with the order. You will not be charged if your order is canceled. If your payment method has already been charged for an order that is later canceled, Beats will issue you a refund.

    Beats does sell products through its Web Store for children, but only to adults, who can purchase with a credit card or other permitted payment method as described above.

    We accept various payment methods for Product purchases through our Web Store, including various credit cards and debit cards. We will bill your payment method when you place an order for a Product through the Service. Beats will not fulfill any Product order without authorization validation of your purchase from your payment method.

    You acknowledge and agree that any offers made available through the Service are subject to change at any time and from time to time. Additionally, we have endeavored to be as accurate as possible in describing and displaying the colors and other features of the Products made available for purchase through the Service; however, there is no warranty or guarantee that the colors, sound quality, product descriptions or other content of the Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

    We will ship the Products you purchase via the shipping method of our choice, on such other terms and conditions (such as applicable shipping and handling fees) that we may disclose to you at the time of your purchase. We do not guarantee the services of any shipping service, and delivery dates and times are not guaranteed. We will however endeavour to dispatch the Product to you as soon as possible after you place your order. During busy times, such as holiday periods, and periods of inclement weather, there can be additional processing and shipping delays. If there is a problem with a delivery, including, but not limited to, damage, loss or late delivery, you can contact Beats Consumer Support to resolve the issue. You agree not to hold Beats liable for any shipping issues. Most package carriers have a short time frame in which to initiate claims. We recommend that you inspect your package for damage immediately upon arrival. If there is a problem, contact the delivery service immediately to resolve any problems. Unless otherwise provided by notice from Beats, all merchandise is shipped F.O.B. from any place we designate the merchandise to leave. At our discretion, we may choose to halt, or alter, the delivery of an order, even though it is in the hands of a delivery agent or shipping company. We may do this as a customer service or in cases where we suspect fraud. You agree to pay any additional charges that may arise due to circumstances in which we take this action.

    Products purchased from the Site are easily returned in accordance with our Return Policy. These Products must be in new condition with original packaging and accessories. Products missing the serial number or UPC cannot be accepted; refunds will not be issued for such items. You can return such items by contacting us at 1-800-442-4000 in the United States or by visiting Support.

    If you are a European Union consumer, in addition to the return guarantee described in the paragraph above, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a sales contract for any reason within 14 days after the date you receive the Product. Our Return Policy includes details of this withdrawal right, including how to exercise such right. Nothing in these ToU or the Return Policy affects these legal rights.

    Please note that you will be responsible for the costs of returning the Products to us, unless they were delivered to you in error or the Products are defective or faulty, in which case we will be responsible for the costs of returning the Products to us.
