Ordering Online Outside the U.S & Canada

If you are outside the U.S. or Canada, you can place an order from our online store. If you pay by credit card, your order will be processed in the normal manner. If you wish to establish credit, your order will be forwarded to the international distributor closest to you. This may be within your country or a nearby country. The distributor will contact you about your order, pricing, terms and conditions. We forward or respond to all international orders, but we cannot accept any responsibility for orders placed through our distributors.

Online Pricing
Our on-line pricing is reflected using U.S. dollars and is the only currency that our company will trade in. We strive to ensure that our on-line pricing is in agreement with our printed desk references but if you happen to notice a pricing discrepancy please notify us immediately and we will honor the most recent price posted. Please note that the terms and conditions listed in the printed desk references supersede all direct or implied terms on the store front of our web site.

Online Processing
Once you complete your on-line order it is automatically entered into our system. We will send an alert to your email address confirming that we have received your order. We ship all orders on the day the order is entered if it is received before 6:15 p.m. CST on a normal business day. You can find same-day shipping deadlines, carrier options and shipping charges information on the shipping/payment information page.

Order Acceptance Policy and Security Interest
Autotech Controls standard terms and conditions govern the transaction of accepting your PO and shipping the products pursuant to the PO. This applies to all POs whether by phone, fax, mail or online. If your PO or any other correspondence lists any terms different than ours, we may process the order but not accept your terms. We also reserve the right to change our terms and conditions at any time prior to shipment of your order.

On-line orders are processed as soon as they are received into the business system pending no credit or shipping issues. If you prefer to mail or fax your orders, it is our goal to input all orders the same day that they are received. Any orders that we receive over the weekend or on a holiday will be entered into our system the next operating business day. Please note: It is our policy to verify all orders from new customers.

It is not Autotech Controls policy to require the confirmation of telephone purchase orders. If your company prefers to confirm their purchase orders; we recommend that the label plainly states that the order is a confirmation of a purchase order. Your cooperation will help to eliminate unnecessary duplicate order entries. Only Autotech Controls terms and Conditions will apply.

Changes to Orders
Due to our pledge that offers same day shipping and same day order processing; any changes that need to be made on an order that you have placed must be made before the actual order is entered into our system. Because of our quick order processing times, there is not much time for an order to be changed. Once our customer service representatives enter the order into the system; the order can not be changed. It is highly recommended that you review your orders and ask any pertinent questions you may have before submitting the final purchase order due to the limited time span available for changes.

We are quite selective about hiring VARs to provide you Local support. We train them and certify them. We expect a very high degree of service from them on order processing and deliveries. However, if you feel more comfortable dealing directly with the factory, please do so. Our technical support is available to all Autotech Family products irrespective of where you bought the product.
