Terms of Sale

All orders must be prepaid prior to shipment unless credit has been established. All invoices are Net 15 days. A late payment charge
will be assessed at a periodic rate of 1 ½% per month, or an annual percentage rate of 18%, on unpaid portions thereof, and will be
charged beginning 16 days after the invoice date until paid in full. A minimum finance charge of $1.00 will apply.
 
We charge applicable sales tax on all product orders shipped to the state of Colorado.
We do not do business with anyone under 18 years of age.  If you are using our online store to purchase items, you are certifying
that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and accountable for the transactions you make with us.

Orders

We accept orders via our secure online ordering, as well as by fax, mail and telephone.  Credit Card orders are accepted by phone,
fax or our secure online ordering system. Please do not email credit card information.  All orders are processed in the order they are
received, unless there is an indicated emergency situation with extra-fast shipping requested with an order, in which case it will be
pushed to the front of the line.

We are pleased to offer you a fully automated secure online ordering system for your convenience.  Simply browse our online store,
enter your quantity and click on the “add to cart” button to add items to your order.  Once your order has been placed and we have
credit card approval, we will send you a confirmation email.  Note that you can order without establishing an account, but if you
establish an account we can automatically provide your shipping address and credit card information to you for future ordering time
saving convenience.  Please note:  it is imperative that you provide us with an accurate email address so you may receive your
order confirmation as well as your shipping tracking number, if any, once your order has shipped.

Orders cancelled after order placement may incur a processing fee.

Whether you order from Avalon Aviary via the Internet, fax, mail or telephone, your order is prepared and packaged by our staff of
experienced and knowledgeable bird people. If we think that there is a potential problem with a product intended for your particular
bird(s), we will contact you for further information about your bird(s). In doing so, we hope that you and your bird(s) will be pleased
with our service, expertise, and quality merchandise and keep costly returns to a minimum!
We will do our best to fulfill all orders but we cannot guarantee the availability of any particular product or particular quantities of
products. Avalon Aviary reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any product listed at any time without notice.  
Acceptable forms of payment:  regular orders:  Visa and Mastercard, and delayed-shipment orders:  Money Orders and Bank
Checks.  Sorry, no COD’s.   

Reseller orders

Not all of the products we offer on our customer website are available for resellers.  For those that are, please phone, fax, mail or
email your order to us directly.  At this time we do not have a special accommodation in our online store for resellers.  If you are
interested in becoming a reseller, and would like an application and a reseller price list, please send your inquiry to
avalonstore@frii.com  

Backordered Items

Should an item be backordered, your account will not be charged until the item is available for shipping. To expedite your order, we
will ship all in-stock items and attempt to notify you via telephone, e-mail or fax should a product be out of stock. At your discretion,
we can either provide substitution suggestions, automatically ship backordered items when they come in or you can cancel the
backordered item and re-order that item at a later date. If we do not succeed in reaching you and the backordered items come in,
we will automatically ship them to you and charge you for them at that time. We will include a notice of backorder in each shipment if
applicable.
