Merchandise available for sale changes on a frequent basis. We reserve the right to make changes in our merchandise without notice. Availability information for products is listed on each individual product description. Some of our products may be available only in limited quantities, so we cannot guarantee that a product displayed on a previous visit to our website may still be available when you visit again. An item may be out of stock temporarily or permanently, or discontinued from our product line. When an item is no longer available, we take reasonable steps to remove it from the website as soon as we can. If almostfamouspiercing.com does not have stock to deliver the goods you have ordered, we will not charge your credit or debit card until the items are back in stock and ready to be shipped.

We take great care to ensure that all information about our products, including prices, set forth on almostfamouspiercing.com is up-to-date, accurate and reliable.

No contract for the sale of any product will exist between you and almostfamouspiercing.com until we accept your order by shipping the product to you. The price of any item is not guaranteed until the item has been shipped to you. Your placement of an order through the website is the legal “offer” and shipment by us is “acceptance.”
