2.4 Pricing, Shipping, Billing, Refunds, and Promotions
2.4.1 Pricing of Products Sold Via Q8dental's Site

As an online marketplace for dental supplies, Q8dental uses descriptions and/or images to illustrate the products available for purchase on its Site. These descriptions and/or images are provided for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect the actual packaging, contents, color, etc. of a particular product. Q8dental attempts to be as accurate as possible in the Product descriptions or images it uses. However, Q8dental is not a supplier and does not itself package, test, or label the Products available on the Platform. Q8dental does not warrant that Product descriptions and/or images available on its Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

You understand and acknowledge that you may incur fees or charges from Q8dental or our Vendors in connection with the products purchased through the use of Q8dental's Services ("Charges"). All Charges will be identified in your cart prior to or during checkout, and in your receipt. Such Charges may include some combination of the following:

  • Retail Price — Retail price reflects the highest price published by any Vendor for a given product.
  • Sales Tax (see below)
  • Other Taxes — You may be charged additional taxes based on applicable laws and regulations. Such taxes may vary depending on the laws and regulations in place at the time of your purchase and will be specified on your receipt.
  • Shipping and Handling Charges — the amount the Vendor charges to ship the product(s) you are purchasing.
2.4.2 Sales Tax

Q8dental calculates, collects, and remits tax on sales made by Vendors of products that are shipped to users located in the states that have enacted Marketplace Facilitator, Marketplace Fairness, or similar laws. These laws shift collection responsibility from the Vendor to marketplace?s such as Q8dental that facilitate the Vendor's sale.

Marketplace Tax Collection is the process of Q8dental automatically calculating, collecting and remitting sales tax on behalf of all sellers for orders shipped to customers in states that have enacted Marketplace Facilitator or similar laws. Sellers cannot opt out of this tax collection. Sellers will not be responsible for remitting sales tax collected on orders sold by them on the Q8dental platform in these states.

For orders shipped to customers in all other states, Vendors remain responsible for the determination, collection and remittance of sales tax. Q8dental is unable to speak on behalf of a Vendor's tax obligations. Tax information for specific Vendors can usually be found on the vendor detail page under the "Sales Tax" section.

Sales tax is generally calculated based on the total selling price of each item. Depending upon the state's tax laws, the total selling price of the item may include shipping and handling charges.

Although tax is not required to be collected in states where the Vendor is not registered, this does not necessarily mean the transaction is not subject to sales tax. Purchases may be subject to use tax which must be remitted directly to the state by the customer purchasing the item. Purchases are not exempt from sales tax solely because they are purchased on the internet, by catalog or by other remote means. Please contact the tax authorities in your state for additional information about your responsibilities for remitting use tax. Links to all the states' tax administrative agencies can be found at https://www.taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies.

Please note that amount of estimated tax appearing on an order may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged at the time of credit card authorization.

2.4.3 Shipping and Handling

Q8dental is not responsible for the shipping and handling of products purchased through its Site.

Q8dental may provide an Estimated Time to Ship for products based on the historical shipping performance by a Vendor for a given product. Where product level information is not available, Q8dental provides the Vendor's overall historical shipping performance for all products sold by that Vendor. Estimated Time to Ship does not include transit time from the Vendor's facility to yours. Estimated Time to Ship is the average shipping performance for the past 90 days and does not represent a guarantee or promise of present or future performance.

Q8dental provides a Promised Handling Time for products based on handling time information provided by the Vendor. Q8dental encourages vendors to maintain this information but cannot guarantee that the Vendor will meet this performance level.

2.4.4 Payments

When you make a purchase via our site, we will ask you for your name, phone number, email address, shipping and billing address, and other information so we can fulfill your order. Please note that we use a third party payment service provider, and by providing this information to us, you are simultaneously providing the same information to our providers.

The payment processing and storage of your credit card information are handled by Stripe, Inc. Stripe will collect your credit card information and charge your credit card for the order, as further detailed below. For more information about Stripe's privacy practices, you can review here.
