( we / us ) has agreements in place with U.S. merchants ( merchants ) to provide services to customers using an international billing and / or shipping address ( you ). These services enable you to purchase products and to pay for shipping and any / all other associated costs related to filling your order at a price that you agree upon at checkout. When you place an order through International Checkout, you will provide your payment information to us, not the merchant. Upon successful payment authentication, we will purchase the items from the merchant on your behalf and will resell them to you at the price agreed upon at checkout. If International Checkout fails to verify your payment information, or for any other reason whatsoever at our sole discretion, we may cancel your order or refuse service at any time. 2. Backordered / Out of Stock Items Sometimes an order that we have placed on your behalf may be backordered or out of stock. If the entire order is out-of-stock, your order will be cancelled. Occasionally, part of an order may be out of stock or backordered with the merchant. If any items are out of stock, we will notify you and ship your available items. If any items are backordered, we will ship your order once all items are available. We do not make partial shipments. We cannot control and are not responsible for delays due to out of stock or backordered items. 3.
