Orders, Prohibition on Reselling

It is customary for us to confirm orders via email; however, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of an order or a confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service. We retain the right, without prior notice, to limit the quantity of any product or service ordered and/or decline service to any customer. Additionally, we may request information verification before accepting and/or shipping any order.

If warranted, we will swiftly take action to remove or disable the allegedly infringing material. Furthermore, we will make reasonable efforts to promptly inform the uploader that the content has been removed or disabled at their request.

This notification procedure in no way restricts NeoGenesis’ ability to exercise its other rights or pursue additional remedies to address infringement claims.
