Orion reserves the right to change prices for products offered at any time, and does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.

We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card charged.

Orion website transactions will include sales tax based on the delivery address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time your transaction is completed.

You are responsible for all applicable sales taxes, and Orion has the right to collect any tax it believes it is obligated to collect.

Payment Methods

Orion accepts credit cards and debit cards and gift cards as forms of payment. If a credit card is being used for a transaction, Orion may obtain a pre-approval from the credit card company for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing to your credit card occurs at the time of purchase or when the order is shipped.

If the total amount of the transaction is greater than the balance available in Gift Card your credit card will be charged for the balance.

Orion accepts the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diner’s Club and JCB. We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of the United States. Debit cards and check cards have daily spending limits that may prevent the processing of your order.

You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order.

Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

Life Safety Notice

If you purchase a System that includes smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, or if you add smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors at a later time, there may be specific requirements or standards for the installation and location of such detectors.

INDEMNIFICATION

IF ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU (INCLUDING YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY) ASKS ANY ORION PARTY, AS DEFINED ABOVE, TO PAY FOR ANY LOSSES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH, DUE TO, OR CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY COVERED CLAIM, AS DEFINED ABOVE, YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD EACH ORION PARTY, AS DEFINED ABOVE, HARMLESS (WITHOUT ANY CONDITION THAT ANY OF THEM FIRST PAY), FOR ALL LOSSES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ASSERTED AGAINST OR INCURRED BY SUCH PARTIES. THE DUTY TO DEFEND ARISES UPON THE ASSERTION OF A CLAIM OR DEMAND AGAINST ORION AND DOES SO REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ORION HAS BEEN FOUND LIABLE OR WHETHER ORION HAS INCURRED ANY EXPENSE. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS MAY NOT BE ENFORCEABLE IN SOME STATES, SO SUCH OBLIGATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
