Welcome to Build Connect.

By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Site or Services.

Eligibility; Separate Terms for Resellers
These Terms apply to individuals and entities purchasing Products for their own end use ("End Users"). If you are purchasing for purposes of resale or commercial supply to third parties, these Terms do not apply — such activities are subject to separate Commercial Terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and applicable Commercial Terms, the Commercial Terms shall control.
Product and Service Information; Site Content; Availability
The Site may present product names, photographs, descriptions, specifications, pricing, lead times, and delivery estimates (collectively, "Content"), provided for general informational purposes. Build Connect endeavors to keep Content accurate but does not warrant that it is complete, reliable, or error-free. Representative photographs may not precisely reflect the actual product appearance, and specifications may change without notice.
You are responsible for confirming that Products meet your needs prior to purchase, including verifying specifications, measurements, quantities, compatibility, and suitability. Product availability is not guaranteed. Build Connect reserves the right to discontinue any Product, modify offerings, impose quantity limits, or correct errors at any time.
Pricing; Orders; Delivery; Payment Terms
Pricing
For individual consumers, all prices are displayed on the Site or provided in response to a quote request. Business customers may contact us directly for pro-pricing schedules. All prices are subject to change at any time. Unless otherwise stated, prices exclude applicable taxes, shipping, handling, and delivery charges.
Order Acceptance
Your submission of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. All orders are subject to acceptance by Build Connect. An order is not binding until accepted, evidenced by an order confirmation, shipment, or other written confirmation. For quote-based transactions, no binding agreement is formed until both parties mutually agree on Products, pricing, and delivery terms.
Delivery
All Products are delivered to the address you specify. Build Connect does not offer in-person pickup. You are solely responsible for providing accurate delivery information, including site access conditions and any special requirements. Delivery dates provided are estimates only. Build Connect shall not be responsible for delays caused by carriers, suppliers, weather, site conditions, or other factors beyond its control.
Payment Terms
You agree to pay all amounts due in accordance with the payment terms at checkout or in an accepted quote. Where approved by Build Connect, payment may be made in installments:
- 30% payable at the time the order is placed;
- 30% payable upon arrival of Products at the destination port; and
- 40% payable within seven (7) days following delivery.
Failure to make any payment when due may result in suspension of order processing, withholding of shipment, or cancellation of the order. All payments are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms or as required by applicable law.
Risk of Loss and Title
Title to, and risk of loss of, all Products passes to you upon delivery to the delivery location specified in your order, regardless of whether you are present to accept the shipment. Build Connect shall not be responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to Products occurring after delivery.
Inspection and Acceptance
You are responsible for promptly inspecting all Products upon delivery. Claims for shortages, visible damage, or non-conforming Products must be reported in writing within 7 days following delivery. Failure to provide timely notice will be deemed acceptance of the Products as delivered.
Upon a timely and valid claim, Build Connect may, at its option, arrange for replacement, provide a refund or credit, or take other commercially reasonable corrective action. These remedies are your sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any shortage, damage, or non-conformity, except as otherwise required by applicable law. You agree to retain all allegedly damaged Products for inspection and not to return any Products without Build Connect's prior written authorization.
Order Cancellations; Returns; Refunds
Order Cancellations
Orders may not be canceled or modified after acceptance by Build Connect without prior written consent. Any approved cancellation may be subject to cancellation fees, restocking charges, shipping charges, and non-recoverable supplier expenses. Custom, special-order, or made-to-order Products are non-cancelable once the order has been accepted.
Returns
Except as expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, all sales are final. Build Connect may, in its sole discretion, authorize returns on a case-by-case basis. Any authorized return must:
- Be requested within 7 days of delivery;
- Be approved in advance and accompanied by a return authorization;
- Be unused, undamaged, and in original packaging; and
- Be shipped in accordance with Build Connect's return instructions.
You are responsible for all return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error attributable to Build Connect. Returns will not be accepted for Products ordered based on incorrect information provided by you.

- Products that have been used, installed, altered, or damaged after delivery;
- Products not in their original packaging or condition; and
- Products designated as non-returnable at the time of sale.
Refunds
If a return is approved, any refund or credit will be issued net of applicable restocking fees, shipping charges, supplier-imposed fees, and other costs incurred by Build Connect. Refunds may be issued to the original payment method or as store credit, at Build Connect's discretion.
