Products or services
Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Return Policy.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be accurate.
We will undertake our reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that the quoted prices and descriptions are true, accurate, updated, and correct, but notwithstanding the foregoing, Alpha Fauna cannot fully guarantee such information.
Accordingly, the specifications, availability, eligibility, prices, and characteristics of the products and services promoted or linked to via the Site will be subject to change at any time, may or will be discontinued without prior notice, and without any responsibility on behalf of Alpha Fauna.
Unless noted, prices are in US dollars and state tax is additional. To the extent permitted by law, fees are nonrefundable, even for offers we remove. We may refuse purchases for any reason, particularly chargebacks, which may place a hold on your account.
The receipt of the order is recorded and confirmed by our platform, with the sending of an e-mail to the address indicated by the user. Please keep the email until you receive the purchased product(s).
While products offered online via our Site will usually be priced based on the merchandise prices last updated by us, it is possible that you may encounter differences in prices due to promotional events and updated pricing at different times.
Any and all product guarantees such as weight, amount, size, color, texture, type, and other measurable characteristics of the goods sold will be the responsibility of the manufacturers.
There may be occasions where a product that is listed has been incorrectly listed (e.g. typographical error, hand error, or system error). In such a case, we hereby reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for any and all products incorrectly listed. If the payment processing method of the customer has already been charged, we may cancel the order and issue a refund or credit in the amount of the incorrect price.
We reserve the right but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.

Accuracy of billing and account information
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.

For more detail, please review our Returns Policy.
Payment terms
We use the payment platform Stripe, a globally accepted third-party payment processor. Accordingly, the processing of payments will be subject to the fees, terms, conditions, and privacy policies of such payment processors. Alpha Fauna is not responsible for any and all errors, fees, and currency conversions fees by such payment processors.
Such third-party payment transaction processor has implemented their own terms of use, user agreements, and privacy policies, which will govern their provision of services to you with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
Your purchase transaction data will only be stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction with us. After such order or transaction is complete, your purchase transaction information will be deleted.
Users must provide us with valid and current billing information. Except as expressly set forth herein, all payment charges are final and non-cancelable. If we detect any chargeback or if any payment is not received by us or our payment processors for any reason, you will promptly pay us any and all amounts due to us upon notice. Any failure or inability by us to process any payment hereunder does not relieve you from your payment obligations.
A chargeback is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on its bank or payment processing statement. A chargeback may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you. You can be assessed chargebacks for (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with payment processor network rules or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by our payment processor or the institutions handling the transaction.
When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to Alpha Fauna for the full amount of payment of the chargeback, plus any associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by our payment processor or the financial institutions handling the transaction). Accordingly, you hereby represent and warrant that you expressly appoint Alpha Fauna as your agent, with full power to recover these amounts by debiting your account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us.
If we are unable to recover funds related to a chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback immediately upon demand; thus you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation, costs assessed by our payment processor, legal fees, and other legal expenses incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid chargebacks unpaid by you.
Shipping terms
We do not offer delivery services ourselves but will endeavor to offer shipment tracking as possible. All dates displayed are estimated, since our third-party couriers use their own systems to track and ship products, and all customers should take into account that Alpha Fauna will not be responsible for any delays, additional expenses, customs fees, and any problems caused by a third party providers’ logistics.
Section 2: Other tools and third-party links
Optional tools
We may provide you with access to third-party tools over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.

Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third party.
Section 3: User comments, feedback, and other submissions
If at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Service or any related website.
