Shipping Policy
Welcome to UnifiedFilter.com (“UnifiedFilter,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of unifiedfilter.com (the “Site”) and any products or services purchased through it, including our refrigerator water filters, air filters, furnace filters, and related accessories (collectively, the “Products”).
UnifiedFilter operates its warehouse and customer support center from Kansas City, Missouri, but is legally organized and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan (see Section 17, Governing Law).
By accessing or using the Site, placing an order, or enrolling in our subscription program, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a legally binding contract to use this Site or place an order. By using the Site, you represent that you meet these requirements.
2. Products and Product Information
We make every effort to display accurate descriptions, images, specifications, and compatibility information (such as filter model numbers and appliance compatibility) for our Products. However:
- We do not guarantee that product descriptions, images, pricing, or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, current, or error-free.
- Filter compatibility information is provided as a guide only. You are responsible for confirming that a filter is compatible with your specific appliance model before purchase.
- Colors, dimensions, and packaging may vary slightly from images shown.
If a Product is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in accordance with our Returns and Exchanges Policy.
3. Pricing and Payment
- All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars and are subject to change without notice.
- We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors, even after an order has been placed. If a Product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical, technical, or pricing error, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that Product, whether or not the order has been confirmed.
- Applicable sales tax will be calculated and added at checkout based on your shipping address and applicable state and local tax laws.
- Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, along with any additional payment options displayed at checkout (such as PayPal or a Buy-Now-Pay-Later option, where offered). Payment is processed securely through our third-party payment processor; we do not store your full payment card number on our servers.
4. Orders and Order Acceptance
- Placing an order on the Site is an offer to purchase. All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.
- We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order for any reason, including suspected fraud, unauthorized or illegal activity, errors in pricing or product information, or if we are unable to verify your information.
- If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.
- You will receive an order confirmation email once your order has been placed. This confirms receipt of your order, not acceptance.
Out-of-Stock and Backorder Items
If a Product becomes unavailable after your order is placed, we will notify you by email as soon as reasonably possible. Depending on availability, you may choose to: (a) wait for the item to be restocked, (b) switch to a substitute product, or (c) cancel that item for a full refund. Any estimated restock date we provide is an estimate only and is not guaranteed.
5. Shipping
We currently ship only within the United States. For full details on shipping timeframes, carriers, shipping costs, and delivery issues, please see our Shipping Policy page.
6. Product Warranty
Except as otherwise stated on an individual product page, most Products sold on the Site are covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty length and terms vary by manufacturer and brand, and are provided on the product page or included with the product packaging where applicable.
UnifiedFilter is a retailer, not the manufacturer, of most Products sold on the Site. While our own return/exchange remedies are described in our Returns and Exchanges Policy, we are also happy to help facilitate a manufacturer warranty claim on your behalf — contact us at [email protected] or (816) 280-9124 with your order number and a description of the issue.
7. California Proposition 65 Warning
Some water filtration Products sold on this Site may contain materials or components that California’s Proposition 65 requires us to disclose as known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm (such as trace amounts of lead in certain plastics or metal components). Where applicable, this warning will be included on the product packaging and/or the product page. For more information about Proposition 65, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
