Buyer's acceptance of this offer - whether express, by action indicating intent to purchase the Products, by failure to reject it as specified hereinabove, or otherwise - is in any and all events limited to the T&C. All subsequent action shall be pursuant to these T&C and any additional or different terms are hereby rejected, objected to and shall not be binding upon the parties, unless specifically and expressly agreed to in writing by Westerbeke.

International orders will not ship until the final shipping amount is verified and agreed upon via e-mail and paid. International shipping quotes can also be obtained prior to ordering by e-mail. Please be prepared to provide the part numbers needed and the complete physical shipping address. The final shipping amount charged by Westerbeke is for the delivery costs only and does not include any taxes, duties, insurance or other applicable charges. All taxes, duties, brokerage fees and other such charges associated with international orders are the responsibility of the customer at time of delivery.
Merchandise Damaged in Delivery: For your protection, please do not sign for merchandise until after you have inspected for damage and found none. We make every reasonable effort to prevent shipping damage. In the event merchandise is received damaged or merchandise is missing, please keep the original shipping carton and take the following important steps: Quickly contact your local UPS office for a Damage Inspection Report and request that UPS return the merchandise to us. Please do not return the merchandise yourself, as this may delay your reorder or credit. Contact our Parts Customer Service Department with the Damage Call Tag number issued to you by UPS and we'll arrange for reorder or credit.
