Sales Agreement

Upon notice published on www.picoinstruments.com, we reserve the right to modify this Sales Agreement without notice.

Online Payment and Security

We accept major credit cards online, namely Visa, MasterCard, Discovery and American Express. Your credit card will be charged at the time you submit your order online during the checkout. For backorders, your credit card will only be charged when the order is shipped.

The Pico Instruments LLC website uses industry-standard, commercially available technology, such as firewalls and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, to protect your online transaction information. All information of your order (including your credit card information) is securely encrypted before leaving your web browser in submission to our order processing server.

We do NOT store any of your credit card information (credit card number, expiration date or CVV2 security code) on our order processing sever except for the last four digits of your credit card number. The last four digits of your credit card number is only used to issue a refund to your credit card in case of credit card refunding.

Order Status

To check the status of your order, go to the Check Order Status page. Fill in the invoice number and, for security and privacy protection purposes, the email address that you provided to us when placing the order. Then click the 'submit' button.

Canceling an Order

A full refund will be issued back to your credit card if the order is not yet shipped at the time when you contact us or call us to cancel the order. But if your order is already shipped at the time you contact us or call us to cancel the order, you will be charged the shipping cost associated with shipping your order from us and you will need to return the merchandise in its original shipping condition to us at your own expense before we issue a refund to your credit card the amount of the merchandise portion of your order plus the sales tax if applicable.

Backorder Policy
