Discount Policy

Volunteers who have recorded at least 4 hours in the past 90 days get a 50% discount on donated parts. They also get a 10% discount on items (such as t-shirts and stickers) that were not donated.

Persons other than the volunteer and his immediate family may not use the volunteer's number to get a discount in the store. Using another persons volunteer number to obtain a discount is prohibited.

• Card-carrying PAWC members get a 25% discount
• Card-carrying People's Co-op members get a 25% discount
• KBOO
• City Bikes (reciprocal)

Other organizations don't get discounts, but may apply for a hardware grant by going to our grants web page.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, and may discontinue a discount at any time if we suspect the volunteer is using their discount as a reseller. Volunteer discounts are a privilege we extend to volunteers, not a right. Please do not abuse this privilege. Additionally, the Sales Coordinator may, with the approval of staff, impose monthly and daily purchasing limits on discounted items. Please see the Store Sales of Rarer and Valuable Items (En español) list for items that may be affected.

Return Policy

NO REFUNDS. WE WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK

• But we don't have hearts of stone, so if we sell you something that does not work, and we decide we are at

fault, we will compensate you in some other way, usually an exchange for an equivalent item (if we have one) or a store credit (if we do not).

YOU MUST HAVE A RECEIPT, AND YOU MUST RETURN THE NON-FUNCTIONING ITEM WITHIN ONE WEEK.

• You have one week to decide if stuff works and to get it back to us.

Please do hang on to the receipt, and leave any gizmo stickers on the item in question. We may exhibit some flexibility about timing but this is at the discretion of the Sales Coordinator.

WE DO NOT WARRANT A DEVICE'S USABILITY FOR YOUR PURPOSES.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHAT YOU NEED

• We will help as much as we can in determining what you need, but it's your responsibility to find out what you have and what it will work with.

• If you buy the wrong stuff and it's a simple swap out for a common item of similar value we will be happy to exchange it but this isn't always possible.

UNTESTED, AS IS, NO RETURN MEANS JUST THAT

• if a device or gizmo is marked with any of the above phrases, the sale is final.
• It means we do not have the desire or ability to test the gizmo in question.
• The price will reflect the items status, i.e. we don't know if it works, we don't want to find out, it's cheap and we don't want to see it again.

BUYER BEWARE

Systems

We will support the complete linux systems we sell if you have not significantly modified the operating system or hardware. You are entitled to one free tech support session. Our tech support staff will address one issue, and pursue it to completion. If it is determined that the box is DOA or is failing catastrophically we will exchange it for a similar system. Subsequent tech support sessions can be had by buying a prepaid tech support ticket in the store.

ONCE YOU INSTALL WINDOWS ON ONE OF OUR MACHINES ANY WARRANTY IS VOIDED. PERIOD. If you must install windows on one of our store boxes please 'burn it in' under linux for a period and determine that there is nothing physically wrong with the machine before you delete our operating system-and your recourse.

If it's a higher end board, or you bring us back several in a row with the same problem, we may retest it in order to determine if the board was faulty when we sent it out or has been abused through ignorance or negligence.

Holds Policy

Sorry, but no. We don't take partial payment for anything. We take cash, and now Mastercard and Visa. The only exception to this rule is if someone needs to go to the bank to get cash, or if they are driving over *right now* to get the product. In both cases, a note must be placed on the item indicating who is coming for the item and a time after which it is for sale to anyone.
