Orders
Your order is an offer to Nerds Shop to buy the product(s) and services listed in your order along with a sales order number. When you place an order to purchase a product and/or service from Nerds Shop, we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order (the “Order Confirmation”). Your receipt of the Order Confirmation only confirms that we have received your order; it does not constitute Nerds Shop’s acceptance of your order or Nerds Shop’s confirmation of our offer to sell. An order is not binding upon Nerds Shop until it is accepted; Nerds Shop must receive payment before it will accept an order. Payment for product(s) ordered is due prior to shipment. Once payment is received and an order is accepted, Nerds Shop will issue an invoice to you and a contract will come into existence between you and us. Nerds Shop may, in its sole discretion, at any time after receiving your order, accept or decline your order for any reason. In addition, Nerds Shop may, in its sole discretion, cancel your order and limit order quantity. Where your order is declined, cancelled or limited, we will inform you of this by appropriate means and you will not be charged. If however, your order is limited or canceled after your credit card has been charged for the purchase, Nerds Shop will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
We may process payment for and ship parts of your order separately.
You consent to receive sales invoices electronically. Electronic invoices will be made available in pdf format in the “your account” area of the Site.
Pre-orders
Click the Pre-order button in the item description and checkout as you normally would. A sales order number will be issued at the Order Confirmation screen just as if you were placing a conventional order, but your credit/debit card will not be charged until your pre-ordered item is in stock and ready to ship. If you purchase an in-stock item with a pre-order item, you will be charged accordingly for the available product and the difference when your pre-ordered item is in stock and ready for shipment. In this instance, two sales order numbers will be issued; one for the in-stock merchandise and one for the pre-ordered merchandise. You will be kept up-to-date via the Site and through standard Order Status emails to your account.
Backorders
We will sometimes allow you to backorder an item that is out of stock. However, these items will be clearly marked with a Backorder button. Click the Backorder button in the item description and checkout as you normally would. A sales order number will be issued at the Order Confirmation screen just as if you were placing a conventional order, but your credit/debit card will not be charged until your backordered item is in stock and ready to ship. If you purchase an in-stock item with a backorder item, you will be charged accordingly for the available product and the difference when your backordered item is in stock and ready for shipment. In this instance, two sales order numbers will be issued; one for the in-stock merchandise and one for the backordered merchandise. You will be kept up-to-date via the Site and through standard Order Status emails to your account.
Payment
In order to place an order with Nerds Shop, you must provide us with your name, shipping address, billing address, telephone number, and payment information, such as your credit card number, billing address, credit card expiration date, and credit card security code.

Except for claims for injunctive relief by either party, you and Nerds Shop agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, in relation to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of these Terms, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in Pennsylvania, or, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or via written submissions alone, and be administered by JAMS under the then current rules of JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services) by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules and such arbitrator shall be independent and impartial.

The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all confidential information, all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by the other party in the proceedings and not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority. The arbitrator shall award all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the prevailing party.
