ESAS PURCHASE AGREEMENT
By accepting delivery of any product delivered from ESAS, you (“Customer”) agree to be bound by the terms and conditions listed below. You and ESAS agree that the following terms and conditions are the exclusive terms governing the sales transaction between Customer and ESAS. Any attempt to alter, supplement, modify or amend these terms and conditions by the Customer will be considered a material alteration of this agreement and, therefore, are null and void.

Therefore, please check these terms and conditions carefully each time you place an order with or accept delivery of any goods from ESAS.

If you need an item by a certain date please ask your salesperson to check on the expected ship date. In most cases expected ship dates for all items will be emailed to you within 48 hours of the time that your order is processed. Tracking information will also be emailed to you once your items ship.
Back Orders
Any items that are unavailable will be placed on back order, and the remainder of your order will be shipped at our discretion. Please check our website for the back ordered item’s estimated time of arrival. Please note that these dates are “estimates” and not guaranteed to arrive on that date.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statement of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Change Orders
You may change your order for standard in-stock items, provided that your order has not yet been processed. As noted in a separate paragraph, special orders cannot be changed once we receive your order acknowledgment. If your order has been processed, we have the right to charge a 15% fee to change the order. If items have shipped the normal restock fee may apply. Please contact your salesperson directly with any changes to be made and please have your order number available.
Shipping and Delivery
Title transfer happens when a buyer (or a third-party provider- such as a freight carrier- on behalf of the buyer) receives the products. While receiving the product, the buyer (or the third party) shall inspect the product for visible damage on the exterior packaging of the product and notify the seller immediately. If there is a severe damage in the shipment, the buyer shall refuse the delivery and/or immediately communicate with the seller. Additionally, the buyer shall inspect the product for any concealed damages within five (5) business days following the receipt. The buyer shall submit a written notification, accompanied by photographs clearly evidencing such damages. If the buyer does not notify Seller and the Third-Party Provider of any kind of damages within such five (5) business days period, the buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Product without any issues.
Special Orders
Many items that we offer are considered special orders, built-to-order, or custom-built items. These items include but are not limited to solar panels, batteries, and inverters. Your salesperson should be able to provide you with more details when you place your order.
Lead times or ship dates that the manufacturer suggests are “approximate lead times” based on their expectations at the time they receive our orders. Please keep in mind that lead times may vary due to the volume of business the manufacturer may have at the time we place the order. Other factors may include shortage or delay of materials that are necessary for the build, that have occurred and are beyond the manufacturer’s control. These manufacturers will not accept cancellations for delays in shipping your order.
Most of the manufacturers that we deal with have a cancellation policy that will demand a cancellation fee, if the order is canceled after they receive our purchase order. Fees can vary and may be as much as 25% of the order. Orders placed for this type of product will require an order acknowledgment from the customer, along with a 25% non-refundable fee for deposit of the product. This amount will be deducted from the total of your order, once the product ships.
Cancellation Policy
To cancel your order for standard in stock items, please call during our normal business hours and speak with your sales representative or someone in our customer support department. Provided your order has not yet been processed, and your credit card has not been charged there is no fee. As noted in a separate paragraph, special orders cannot be canceled once we receive your order acknowledgment. If your order has already been processed and your card was charged, there is a 5% cancellation fee deducted from your refund. If any portion of your order has shipped, a 15% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. The refund will occur within 48 hours of the receipt of the cancellation or the return of all products that have shipped. Many of our products are custom built, built to order or special ordered items. These items include but are not limited to power panels, battery boxes, Ironridge products, some AET products, and many Direct Power and Water products. If you need to cancel an order for any of these products there is a cancellation fee even if the item has not shipped. The cancellation fee will vary depending on the manufacturer but may be as much as 30% of the cost of the item. This fee is the same fee that manufacturers pass onto us for canceling the order.
Product Listings
ESAS product descriptions are not designed or intended to replace your personal product knowledge, experience and/or research or that of a professional installer or licensed electrician.
ESAS strives to be as accurate as possible in our product descriptions, compatibility references, information content, pricing, links and any other product information contained in or referenced on our site. However, occasional human error may occur and we therefore cannot guarantee that all product descriptions, specifications, pricing or any other content on the site is entirely accurate, complete, current, or that we are responsible for these errors. In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, informational, technical or any other error, ESAS at its sole discretion shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order for that product and immediately amend, correct or remove the inaccurate information. Moreover, all links on ESAS’s website are intended only to provide visitors with assistance finding additional information and professional opinion; however, due to the fast pace of the industry, complex nature and personal subjective experiences, reviews can become outdated or less accurate over time or even at inception and should therefore never be the sole determinate in a purchasing decision, or, most importantly, a substitute for doing one’s own product research. Please remember to consider, you, our valued patron, are ultimately responsible for any purchase decision.
Product Reviews
ESAS is not a forum for product reviews. ESAS is a private site that conducts the business of selling renewable energy related products and as such, any specifications and information posted by ESAS regarding products for sale must be factual. However, customer comments in regards to their experience with said products are the opinions of the user. The customer opinion reviews are used at the discretion of ESAS as a marketing device for positive and constructive ways to share the benefit of the product. It is not used as a source for negative commentary as we cannot endorse the validity of any negative comment. Therefore, the ESAS site is moderated to remove any unproven biased negative comments. It is not the intention of ESAS to mislead any customer and therefore all purchase decisions should not be solely based on the product review.
Return Policy: Standard in stock merchandise purchased through ESAS may be returned within 30 days of the receipt of the product or 60 days if you are a Preferred Installer. You will receive a refund or credit towards your account, provided the merchandise is returned in the original packaging in new and resalable condition with the original blank warranty cards, manuals, and all accessories.
If any component of the returned product is missing, if there is damage or the product has been used, the return procedure is breached and ESAS may reject the return or may choose to impose additional charges for replacement of the missing component. A 15% restock fee will be charged for all returns unless you are a Preferred Installer. As noted in a separate paragraph, Special Orders, custom built, built to order or special ordered items, are non-returnable. Unless an error was made by ESAS, shipping charges are not refundable.
