The Company will not be obligated to sell the Goods to User unless and until the Company accepts the order. Acceptance of any order is subject to approval by the Company in its sole discretion.

You agree to keep all payment cards or other payment method information current, and you agree that we may submit charges for processing even if the card (or other method) has expired or changed by the time we submit it.
