You must provide accurate billing and payment information in order to use our services that have fees associated with them. You agree to pay Respiratory Associates for all charges incurred as a result of your use of the Site, including all applicable taxes, fees, and surcharges.

Respiratory Associates may use a domestic or an international third-party payment service, the latter of which could result in international transaction fees billed to your credit card, (collectively, the “Payment Service”), to collect payments for all fees. Any international transaction fees that you may incur are charged by your bank and not by Respiratory Associates. All questions concerning such fees should be directed towards your bank. Any information you provide us in connection with the payment that we provide to the Payment Service will be subject to the Payment Service’s user agreement and privacy policy, not this Agreement or our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that Respiratory Associates is not liable for the Payment Service’s services, its site, or any acts or omissions of the Payment Service.
The Price and availability of any product or service offered through the Site are subject to change without notice. Refunds and exchanges will be subject to Respiratory Associates’ refund and exchange policies then in effect. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Site, at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred, including without limitation, any applicable taxes.
