Copyright Policy
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please forward the following information to the Copyright Agent:
For clarity, only copyright infringement notices should go to our Copyright Agent. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all requirements of this section, your notice may not be validated. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. You understand and agree that: (1) TriMark USA assumes no liability or responsibility for any third party content or material of any kind that is submitted to or posted on the website by any other users or third parties, and (2) TriMark USA is merely a transmitter of any such content, and is acting solely as an Internet Service Provider as such term is defined in the DMCA.
If you believe the content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use such content, you may submit a counter-notice to the Copyright Agent described above containing the following information:
After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes your personal information. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way. We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.
After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within 10 days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content that was removed or disabled. If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the material. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Product and Pricing Information
The prices displayed on our Website may differ from prices that are available in stores or in catalogs. If you are in the U.S., Website prices will be displayed in U.S. Dollars. The prices displayed on our Website and in our print catalogs are quoted in U.S. Dollars and are valid and effective only in the U.S. While we take great care to ensure accuracy in our displayed prices, TriMark USA is not responsible for pricing errors, typographical mistakes or technical glitches. Users will be notified if an order includes a pricing error and steps will be taken to have the charge corrected.
All posted and printed prices are subject to change.
Additional terms and conditions may also apply to specific products, services or features of the Website. All such additional terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms and Conditions.
Special Offers
Occasionally we will offer special promotions to our customers that we refer to as a special offer. This can include a gift with purchase, free shipping, manufacturer offers, or other promotional activity associated with a product purchase. These offers may be for a limited time only and subject are to change or cancellation at any time.
Inaccuracy Disclaimer
The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes. From time to time there may be information on our Website or in our catalog that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, and availability. TriMark USA reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). If you do not wish to continue your purchase after pricing or other information has been corrected, please contact us right away and we may work with you to cancel or return your order in TriMark USA's sole discretion.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless TriMark USA and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and legal costs) of any kind or nature, arising from or relating to, any actual or alleged breach of these Terms and Conditions by you or anyone using your account, or your use of the Website, including but not limited to your Comments or User Content. If we assume the defense of such a matter, you will reasonably cooperate with us in such defense.
Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights
You and TriMark USA agree that we will resolve any disputes between us through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and TriMark USA hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim. All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and TriMark USA relating to these Terms and Conditions of the Website (each a "Claim") shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") applying the law of the State of Massachusetts. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential by you and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed by you beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude TriMark USA from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. TriMark USA also has the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, TriMark USA retains the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms and Conditions, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms and Conditions.
You may not act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms and Conditions will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Terms and Conditions. This Section of the Terms and Conditions will survive the termination of your relationship with TriMark USA.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR TRIMARK USA WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Other Provisions
Any action relating to the use of the Website, catalogs or any transaction with TriMark USA must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.
These Terms and Conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions.
Under no circumstances will we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.
The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future.
We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law. You may not assign rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law, without TriMark USA's prior written consent.
These Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and TriMark USA regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
