§ 3 Shipping Policy

ZG works hard to make receiving products as easy as their purchase and use.  Customer Orders will contain selected shipping terms, commonly being FOB Delivered (ZG Prepaid) or FOB Origin (Customer Collect).  When FOB Delivered is utilized, We will prepay for shipping with ZG Carrier (e.g. UPS, FedEx, Estes, etc.) accounts, where applicable charges of such will display in Your Invoice and Order Confirmation.  When FOB Origin is chosen, You have selected to ship with Your further obligation to pay shipping charges directly to the Carrier either by, (i) cash of delivery (COD) or (ii) Your established Carrier accounts.       
    

2. Risk of loss and obligation to insure will follow the party in possession of products during shipment.  With FOB Delivery, ZG will assist and correct any shipping issues that may arise with the Carrier until delivery to destination.  When FOB Origin is used, either by ZG scheduling or Customer, You will be responsible for resolving any shipping matters.  Regardless of shipment method when there is damage or loss of products, We will strive to quickly assist with replacement Orders as needed, where such Orders follow the procedures of section 2, Order Process and Payment. 
    

3. ZG is not responsible for damage, loss or theft of products once delivered by the shipping Carrier to Your destination.  Please ensure that You take local precautions to protect delivered products, including but not limited to, having someone present to receive the shipment, asking ZG to ship with Signature Required, or, as available, selecting to pick-up at a local Carrier terminal.  
    

4. Deliveries are contingent upon Our receiving of necessary raw materials and may be delayed, reduced, or cancelled by ZG, to the extent affected by delay, reduction, or cancellation of shipment of such materials. 
    

5. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SHIPMENT IMMEDIATELY, including all boxes and cartons, against the bill-of-lading BEFORE signing for the delivery.  Any damage or missing item should be noted in writing on the Carrier’s bill-of-lading, with the Carrier’s delivery driver signing the bill-of-lading to acknowledge the same.  We understand some situations only present themselves once you have opened all packaging, so please be mindful that You have 2 Weeks (14 Days) from delivery receipt to inspect and communicate any issues with ZG.  Should this time pass with no communications, We will be pleased of your satisfaction.   
    

6. Delay in delivery or defect in quality will entitle Customer to cancel only that portion of product that is delayed or defective.  Standard, non-custom products (standard frames, structures, fabrics, furniture, or accessories), and custom products (printed graphics or special features) not yet in design or production, will be eligible. 
    

7. Delivery and/or tender made after specified date of delivery will constitute a good delivery. Customer hereby agrees to grant adequate additional amount of time to complete shipment.  Thereafter, delivery or deliveries and/or tender or tenders prior to receipt of written cancellation will constitute timely delivery. 
    

§ 4 Product Care and Safety 

1. ZG products need to be cared for to preserve their performance and function.  Customers need to review all product safety information and operating instructions prior to use and ensure that such material is conveyed to additional product users and operators.  You, and all product users, are responsible for maintaining safe conditions and using products only as intended.  Failure to do so may lead to property damage or even result in human injury and death.  ZG makes every effort possible to educate and guide You in proper product handling, however if there are ever any questions or uncertainty do not hesitate to contact Your ZG Pro for guidance. 
    

2. ZG designs for quality and durability, however the inherent nature of mobile tents, tables, inflatables, and other products makes them vulnerable to lifting when winds are stronger than their securing.  Any ZG wind and weather performance material is provided as testing estimates for general guidance and cannot be solely relied upon for exact real-world conditions that You may experience. 
    

3. USERS ARE RESPONSIBLE for assessing on-site wind and weather conditions and always ensuring they have secured products sufficient for their conditions.  The mobile and easy-to-use design of Our products allows them to quickly be closed and stored when conditions are, or soon will become, unsuitable for use.  Please be aware that wind and weather-related damages are NOT WARRANTY COVERED, and ZG is NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY that may occur as a result.  
    

4. MISUSE OF THE PRODUCT IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INSTALLATION AND USE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, VOIDS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY PROVIDED WITH YOUR PRODUCT.

5. Shipping for eligible returns or exchanges is Your responsibility, where ZG can assist as a courtesy with costs deducted from return or exchange credit.  For Print Error exchange or incorrect product fulfillment, ZG will accommodate with standard shipping of return and corrected redelivery at no additional costs to You.  Original shipping costs are non-refundable.  Any ineligible product returned to Us is Your responsibility for collection or redelivery.  In any event, rush options may be available with additional Customer fees.  Return packaging exception will be made for products that originally deliver to Customer in consolidated packaging, where partial return or exchange has been approved by ZG, and the Customer has prepared their own packaging for return shipment.  You are responsible to ensure that all return shipment packaging protects the returning product, along with its components, manuals and direct packaging, so that they arrive to ZG in new condition.  Should shipping damage or loss occur it is Your responsibility to resolve.

Within the thirty (30) day Return and Exchange period, ZG must receive Your completed Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) form, processed either by online submission or traditional form completion, where forms can be obtained by website download or ZG Pro request.  The completed RMA should detail Your Order information, products requesting return or exchange, and further financial and shipping selections You are electing.  Once accepted by ZG, an RMA number will be issued and return steps can commence.  Please remember that a Restock Fee may be assessed on Returns for Refund. 
    

7. ZG will issue a credit or refund only once the returned product is received, matches the RMA and inspected by ZG to comply with all terms and conditions herein.  For full value of refund or credit, also ensure that You return any free (“Promotional”) product, including all components, manuals, and packaging, if applicable on an Order being returned or exchanged.  ZG may waive this if exchange for similar product is occurring.  Any packaging or shipping of Promotional item is Customer responsibility.
