DELIVERY/TURN-AROUND TIMES:
In-Stock Items: Items we have in stock are usually shipped the same business day if the order is placed and payment is verified by 3:00pm EST. Occasionally, if an In-Stock item is oversold or unexpectedly backordered, we will order the part from the manufacturer and ship as soon as possible.
Out-Of-Stock Items: Even with our huge inventory, it is possible that we may run out of an item. If so, payment will be secured for the entire amount of the order as a 100% deposit, and the Out-of-Stock Item(s) will be ordered from the manufacturer. As soon as the merchandise becomes available, it will be shipped, usually within one to two weeks. Extended backorders may, however, occur from time to time. In such event, please allow up to six weeks for delivery.
Special Order Items: Certain items are denoted as “Special Order Items.” Please contact your MMP Sales Representative for specific delivery times for these items.
Expedited Shipping: Please note that, while MMP prides itself on fast, hassle-free order processing, time will NOT be deemed to be “of the essence” for any ordered item unless such condition is expressly consented to in writing by MMP. Selecting Next Day, Two Day, or Three Day services DOES NOT bind MMP to any guarantee, express or implied, that shipments will be received by the customer in that respective amount of time. Expedited orders still may incur handling delays prior to shipment, just as standard orders do. In such event, we may not be able to ship expedited orders the same day they are placed, though we will certainly make every effort to do so. As a result, delivery times may vary. Your MMP representative will be happy to assist you in coordinating more precise delivery times when the specifics of the situation are known.

If so, this “no-return” status will be clearly denoted, both on-screen prior to order confirmation, as well as on your product receipt/invoice. Contact your Sales Representative for further details. All returns must be approved by MMP, and assigned an RGA number for tracking. No return will be processed without a valid RGA number under ANY circumstances. Customer assumes full responsibility for the proper packaging, delivery and insurance of returned items to our warehouse. Claims for any items damaged, lost, stolen, or otherwise impaired in transit, must be made with the carrier employed.

However, no refunds will be granted on items which are used, altered, or installed under ANY circumstances. In addition, Special Order items, as well as certain categories of standard-inventory products (such as superchargers and electrical items), are ineligible for refunds. Contact your Sales Representative for further details. Refunds must also be approved by an MMP Representative, and will not be processed without a valid RGA number.
Other Warranties: None provided. Customers remedies are limited to the processes for replacements and refunds outlined above. MMP makes no additional warranties, express or implied, as to the merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, of any ordered items. Some items may carry separate manufacturers warranties, and MMP assumes no responsibility for any claims made therein. Customer must contact the manufacturer for further details on any such warranty. Cancellations: Cancellation requests received and approved prior to shipment are allowed, but are subject to a 10% processing fee.

PRICING AND SITE CONTENT:
Prices quoted are estimates based on the information you have supplied, and are only accurate to the extent your information is accurate. The pricing and/or technical information that appears on the Site may be changed, updated, and/or deleted at any time, even after an order has been placed, without notice to Customer. This information may also contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors, and Customer expressly assumes the risk of such errors. Customer is encouraged to contact his/her MMP Sales Representative at any time for verification of current pricing or other information. The Site may also contain content not generated by MMP, and it shall not be responsible for any representations made or implied via third-party content.
Certain prices represent cash-only pricing, and if so, paying via credit card will necessitate an additional 3% fee. Each such transaction will be clearly denoted.
SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS:
The invalidity, illegality and unenforceability of any provision(s) of these Terms & Conditions shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING POLICIES:
Responsibility for Shipping & Handling Fees: All domestic orders are shipped, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, using the following terms: FOB Origin, Freight Collect. For International shipments, we ship FCA Sellers Premises, as defined under the Incoterms 2000. These terms mean, essentially, that Customer must pay any and all shipping and handling fees, including freight charges and insurance, as well as any duties, taxes, customs clearance expenses, and any other shipping costs which may arise. Other shipping charges, surcharges or accessorial charges may apply and your final shipping charge may vary.
Responsibility for Damage: In addition, risk of loss and title for all items ordered pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. MMPs responsibility for damage, theft, alteration, or other mishaps to your items ends at that moment. All orders automatically carry up to $100.00 insurance coverage, which is provided at no additional charge by the thrid-party frieght carrier. If needed, additional coverage is available, and is generally a good investment. Contact your MMP salesperson for more details on specific levels of coverage.
PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover all strongly discourage shipping products to an address that is not on listed in their records. Please note that simply because one has previously had products shipped to an address other than the registered billing address, this does not mean that such address is on file with the credit card company. It is to: i) contact his/her financial institution and see that the alternate shipping address is approved prior to bidding on any auction. or ii) sign a written authorization form, which will be kept on file at MMP in the case of charge-backs or other disputes.
**Please Note: For international orders, MMP will ONLY ship to an address on file with the financial institution. We will not accept any alternate ship-to address for an international order under ANY circumstances.
USER-FORUMS: Customer agrees not to post or otherwise transmit any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, objectionable or profane material or any materials that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law, to The Site. MMP will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities or court orders requesting or directing it to disclose the identity of or help identify anyone posting any such information or materials on this web site.
