2. Online Store Terms
By using this website, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or jurisdiction of residence or that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use this website.
You may not use our products or services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.
You may not transmit viruses, malicious code, or other harmful material through our website.
A violation of these Terms of Service may result in termination or restriction of your access to our services.
3. Product Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, specifications, photographs, compatibility information, pricing, and availability.
However, manufacturers may change specifications, packaging, product appearance, accessories, or features without notice.
Product photographs are provided for reference. Actual products may vary slightly from images shown.
If a product listing contains an obvious pricing, description, or specification error, Ridge Toolbox reserves the right to correct the error and, when necessary, cancel or modify an affected order.
4. Automotive Diagnostic Tools & Vehicle Compatibility
Ridge Toolbox sells professional automotive tools, diagnostic scanners, electrical testing equipment, specialty tools, and related products.
Customers are responsible for verifying that a product is appropriate and compatible with their intended vehicle, application, system, or repair procedure before purchase and use.
Vehicle coverage, programming capabilities, diagnostic functions, and manufacturer-specific features may vary based on:
-
Vehicle year, make, and model
-
Vehicle equipment and configuration
-
Software version
-
Manufacturer restrictions
-
Subscription or update requirements
-
Regional vehicle specifications
Product descriptions should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every advertised function will work with every vehicle.
Customers should follow the product manufacturer's instructions and accepted professional repair procedures.
5. Pricing
All prices displayed on our website are subject to change without notice.
We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time.
Taxes, shipping charges, freight charges, liftgate fees, or other applicable charges may be added during checkout when applicable.
A completed checkout does not obligate Ridge Toolbox to honor an obvious pricing or listing error.
If an error affects your order, we may contact you before fulfillment or cancel the affected item and issue an appropriate refund.
6. Product Availability
Product availability may change without notice.
Some products displayed as available for purchase may require additional time to source from a manufacturer, supplier, distributor, or other inventory source.
An item being available for purchase does not necessarily mean that the item is physically located in our warehouse at the exact time the order is placed.
For additional information regarding fulfillment timelines, please review our Shipping Policy.
7. Order Processing & Extended Fulfillment
Many orders are processed and shipped promptly. However, certain products may require extended fulfillment.
Some orders may require up to 10 business days before shipping.
Business days are Monday through Friday and exclude weekends and major holidays.
The fulfillment period refers to the time required to process, source, prepare, and transfer an order to the shipping carrier.
Carrier transit time begins after the order ships and is separate from our fulfillment time.
If we become aware of a significant unexpected delay, we will make reasonable efforts to communicate with the customer.
Please review our Shipping Policy for complete shipping and fulfillment information.
8. Orders
We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel an order when reasonably necessary.
Examples may include:
-
Suspected fraud
-
Payment authorization problems
-
Pricing or listing errors
-
Product availability issues
-
Shipping restrictions
-
Incorrect customer information
-
Orders that appear intended for unauthorized resale or misuse
If we cancel a paid order, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method unless another resolution is agreed upon.
9. Order Cancellations
Orders may generally be canceled before they have been fulfilled or shipped.
Once an order has been fulfilled or transferred to the shipping carrier, cancellation may no longer be possible.
Customers should contact Ridge Toolbox as soon as possible if they need to request a cancellation.
Cancellation requests are not guaranteed if fulfillment has already begun or the order has already shipped.
10. Shipping
Shipping charges are calculated or disclosed during the ordering process when applicable.
Large equipment, toolboxes, shop equipment, machinery, and other oversized products may require freight delivery.
Additional freight services, including residential delivery or liftgate service, may result in additional charges where applicable.
Delivery dates provided by Ridge Toolbox, Shopify, shipping carriers, or other services are estimates unless specifically stated otherwise.
Ridge Toolbox is not responsible for carrier delays caused by weather, transportation disruptions, holidays, natural disasters, labor interruptions, or other events outside our reasonable control.
Please review our Shipping Policy for complete details.
11. Returns & Refunds
Returns and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.
