- General
1.1. OpenBorder, Inc. has an agreement with Scandinavian Biolabs (the retailer) operating the Website you were browsing for goods, to make the such goods available to you for purchase from, and delivered by, OpenBorder, Inc. ("Goods"). This allows you to buy such Goods from OpenBorder, Inc. in your local currency and at a price that includes any applicable indirect taxes (such as VAT), plus international delivery costs and fees (“Delivery Costs") and, if available for pre-payment, any import duties, tariffs and similar fees that may be imposed by the delivery destination ("Import Charges").
1.2. You are advised that the characteristics of the Goods you are buying from OpenBorder, Inc., as well as the price, Delivery Costs and (if available for pre-payment) Import Charges, shall be those displayed to you by OpenBorder, Inc. at the checkout (or similar) facility, operated by OpenBorder, Inc. and residing on Scandinavian Biolabs' Website you were browsing
(“Checkout”). Please make sure you review your checkout page so that you can identify and correct any input errors.
1.3. By placing an order via the Checkout ("Order"), you acknowledge that the seller is OpenBorder, Inc. and not the retailer, and that upon successful verification by OpenBorder, Inc. of your Order and payment information, OpenBorder, Inc. will buy the goods from such retailer and resell it to you in accordance with these Terms.
- Checkout and Acceptance of Orders
2.1. You place the Order for selected Goods by using the Checkout ordering process. This involves selecting the goods, placing it in the shopping cart/basket and transmitting the order by clicking on the “PAY AND PLACE ORDER” button (or similar button) through the Checkout. This process permits you to check and amend any errors before making an order by using the “back” button.
2.2. To place an Order, you must be at least 18 years of age (or any age legally required under local law where you are resident to bind yourself legally to these terms). By doing so, you confirm to us that you meet this Requirement.
2.3. Once you have placed your Order, we will promptly acknowledge your Order by sending you an email which will contain the relevant details of your Order. Please note, this does not constitute OpenBorder’s acceptance of your Order to buy the goods – it only constitutes our acknowledgement of your Order. We do not accept your Order (and therefore we make no commitment to provide you with the Goods), and no contract for the sale of such Goods shall come into effect, until we specifically accept your Order and notify you by email that we have dispatched the goods to you ("Order Confirmation").
2.4. If the payment method you selected at Checkout supports an authorization mechanism (e.g. most credit/debit cards), when you place your Order we will only authorize the applicable amounts, and you will be charged only after the goods has been dispatched to you (unless the order is a pre-order or similar order, in which case payment could be captured prior to dispatch, depending on the nature of the products and the payment method used). Please note that we charge the full Order amount even if the Order is dispatched in parts.
2.5. We make the appropriate efforts to process and fulfill any Order as quickly as possible. However, we may, upon notice to you, decline to accept your Order if: (a) the Goods are unavailable (in which case, if the payment was processed, we will refund you in accordance with these Terms); or (b) we are unable to verify the payment information you provided.
2.6. We may, if we suspect someone's identity, address, email address and/or payment information is being used fraudulently or in an unauthorized manner, also require additional verifications or information before accepting any Order. OpenBorder may choose not to accept Orders in their sole discretion and notably abnormal orders, orders which we suspect are not placed in good faith or orders which have not been placed by individuals. OpenBorder is not required to provide a reason for declining to accept any order, though may do so at their sole discretion. Moreover, an Order may be canceled (in full or in part)
even after the Order Confirmation was dispatched, if we suspect there could be, or were circumstances (on our part or any third party’s part) giving rise to a good faith, genuine or honest error, mistake or misunderstanding pursuant to which we would neither have sent the Order Confirmation nor agreed to sell the Products. An example could be a fallacious
low price for a product otherwise costing significantly more. In the event of such a genuine error, you shall receive a properly detailed notice of cancellation, following which your Order will be automatically canceled, and you will be refunded the amounts you actually paid.
2.7. We are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with the contract. Furthermore, nothing in these Terms affects Consumers’ legal rights in relation to goods that are not in conformity with the contract, whether because they are faulty, not as described or otherwise.
2.8. You are advised that there may be minor differences between the actual Goods and the way that it appears on the relevant website, e.g., in relation to appearance / color / texture / finish / weight. The labeling or packaging of the Goods may differ from the images of these which you see on the site.
- Exchange Rate
Exchange rates may be set and updated regularly, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect Goods pricing on the Checkout. You will be charged according to the applicable exchange rate at the time you make your Order via the Checkout as displayed on the Checkout.

- Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
By accessing or using the Service, you agree that the exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim between you and OpenBorder (including any officer, director, member, manager, employee, independent contractor, agent or representative, or any affiliate of any of these parties (the “OpenBorder Parties”)) arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement,
(ii) the Service, or (iii) any transaction between us, shall be by binding arbitration. You and OpenBorder Parties further agree that any decision regarding the enforceability or validity of this arbitration provision will be determined by the arbitrator and not by any court. You further agree not to, under any circumstances, bring or maintain any claim against the OpenBorder Parties as part of a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding. In agreeing to this, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU ARE ALSO GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. If you do not agree to this arbitration agreement and class action waiver, you must send a written letter to us at OpenBorder, 1317 Edgewater Dr. #6010, Orlando, FL 32804, USA within ten (10) days of your initial assent to these Terms (including your first purchase of any service or use of our websites) that specifies: (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall continue to apply, including the waiver of class action rights.
In arbitration, your claims will be heard and determined by a neutral arbiter, not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing in front of the arbitrator. Arbitration is usually a more informal streamlined procedure than a court proceeding. An arbitrator can grant the same relief that a court can award. Therefore, decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court
and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. The arbitrator will not have the authority to: (1) consolidate claims brought by more than one person against the OpenBorder Parties; (2) preside over any representative or class action against the OpenBorder Parties; or (3) award damages to a class. Any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that this class action waiver is material to the agreement to arbitrate disputes.
This Agreement, and any dispute between you and OpenBorder, shall be governed by the laws of the state of Orlando without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“), and conducted under AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) in effect at the time of the dispute. You may obtain copies of the AAA Rules which explain how to begin an arbitration procedure by visiting the AAA website at www.adr.org, or by calling AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the OpenBorder Parties may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Orlando. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of these courts and waive any right to a trial by jury.
