Terms of Sale | Ameristart

Payment

Orders ship on cleared funds.
Bank payments (ACH debit) clear in about 4 business days. No fee.
Card payments confirm at once. A card order whose total is over $2,000 carries a 3% processing fee, shown before the order is placed.
Payments are collected by Stripe; Ameristart never sees card or account numbers.
An accepted offer is held 3 business days; the single-use payment link then expires and the units return to inventory.

Shipping

Parcel shipping is a flat $35 per unit by UPS Ground, lower 48 states, added at checkout.
Freight orders: units paid at checkout; freight quoted and billed separately before shipping.
Ships from Somerset, NJ within 5 business days of cleared funds, tracking by email.
Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and Canada: quoted on request.

Prescription devices

Ventilators, BiPAP/ASV and related respiratory devices are prescription devices; every order states the buyer type — a licensed healthcare provider or facility buying for professional use, or a medical equipment reseller with a resale certificate. No sales to individual patients.

Recalls

The Recall row on a listing reflects the documentation supplied with the unit at listing, and that documentation ships with the unit. Ameristart is not a manufacturer service center; the buyer verifies the serial number with the manufacturer before placing any unit in service.

Condition

Each unit is sold in the condition stated on its listing — new in box, patient ready or as-is — under the Condition Standard.

Warranty and returns

Patient Ready: 90-day Ameristart warranty from delivery on the stated configuration, by repair or replacement at Ameristart's election.
New in Box: manufacturer's warranty where offered; the listing states where none applies.
As-is units: no warranty, not returnable.
Dead, damaged or not as listed on arrival: report within 7 days of delivery ((720) 552-2840 or email, with the order number). Ameristart pays the return freight; the buyer chooses replacement or refund by the original payment method.
No restocking fee for Ameristart's error. Other returns are arranged in advance, may carry a restocking fee, return freight on the buyer.

As-is units

Units under As-Is: Sold as-is: no condition declared, no warranty, no returns. Not represented as patient ready — have your biomed verify before any patient use.

Sales tax

Sales tax applies without a valid exemption or resale certificate on file; certificates go to andre@ameristart.com with the order number.

Cancellations

Unshipped orders can be cancelled by email, cleared funds returned by the same method; shipped orders fall under the warranty terms.
