Qualifying Purchases. You may purchase the item from any website. A website is a business selling consumer goods to the general public on a regular basis via the Internet. This does not include membership organizations, charities, subsidized businesses, or subscription rental programs. We will only provide Return Shipping reimbursement not covered by the website (e.g. if a specific retailers policy for returns allows for shipping charges to be paid by the retailer, return shipping will not be covered). Insurance coverage for return shipping of the item is not covered.
COMPLETE PRICE PROTECTION REBATES
Once you make a purchase with credit card registered with Freeshipping.com, if you find a lower price for the identical item, online or offline, within 90 days of purchase, you are eligible to a reimbursement for the difference in price, up to $100 per item, subject to it being a qualifying purchase and the terms as described below. You must supply us with valid proof of the lower price and your original purchase, and claims must be mailed within 90 days of purchase.
Qualifying Purchases - Purchases must be made with a website selling consumer goods to the general public on a regular basis. This does not include membership organizations, charities, or subsidized businesses. Items sold by individual sellers through aggregator websites are not eligible. The lower priced product you find may be sold by an online OR offline retailer as described above. The comparison product must be exactly the same as the product you purchased, and available to the general public. This means that the product has the same model number, size/color, description, features, warranty, guarantee, and accessories (for example software package on a computer). Any item that is damaged, discontinued, refurbished, used, a demonstration model, not in compliance with local or federal laws, sold at auctions or going-out-of business sales does not qualify.
Complete Price Protection does not cover differences in price due to shipping, handling, taxes, rebates, coupons, or typographical errors. Any coupons, rebates, or other incentives available at the time of purchase must be taken into account when determining the price paid. For the purpose of comparing prices, we must assume all eligible rebates and incentives have been redeemed.
