Last Updated: June, 2026

Welcome to Build Connect. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at www.buildconnect.com (the "Site") and the products and services made available through the Site (collectively, the "Services"). 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.

About Build Connect

Build Connect offers both direct purchase and quote-based transaction options. Certain Products may be available for immediate purchase if they are in Build Connect's inventory. In other cases, you may submit a request for a quote, estimate, or proposal. Any quote provided is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding offer unless expressly stated. A binding transaction occurs only upon Build Connect's acceptance of your order or mutual agreement on Products, pricing, and delivery terms.

Eligibility; Separate Terms for Resellers

These Terms apply to individuals and entities purchasing Products for their own end use ("End Users").

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:

  1. 30% payable at the time the order is placed;
  2. 30% payable upon arrival of Products at the destination port; and
  3. 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:

  1. Be requested within 7 days of delivery;
  2. Be approved in advance and accompanied by a return authorization;
  3. Be unused, undamaged, and in original packaging; and
  4. 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.

Restocking Fees

Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 25% of the purchase price, in addition to any applicable shipping, handling, or supplier-imposed charges.

Non-Returnable Products

The following Products are not eligible for return or refund (except as required by applicable law or expressly agreed by Build Connect):

  1. Custom, special-order, or made-to-order Products;
  2. Products that have been used, installed, altered, or damaged after delivery;
  3. Products not in their original packaging or condition; and
  4. 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.

Dispute Resolution

You and Build Connect agree to first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy ("Dispute") through informal discussions for a period of at least thirty (30) days before initiating any formal proceeding.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in King County, Washington, in English.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court in King County, Washington, if the claim is eligible and remains on an individual basis. Either party may also seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue
