Terms of Service
Rubber Dynamics distributes in-stock O-rings, hand grips, extruded cords, plugs, caps, and stoppers to OEM manufacturers. These Terms of Service govern every quote, order, and use of this website.
How These Terms Apply
The agreement that governs every quote, order, and use of this website.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern all sales, quotes, and use of this website. By placing an order or accessing this site, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you are placing an order on behalf of a company or organization, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that company to these Terms, and these Terms will apply to all members of your organization who use this site.
Pricing and Sales Tax
Clear rules on pricing, quote validity, and sales tax.
All prices are subject to change without prior notice. Written quotes expire 30 days from issuance unless stated otherwise.
Sales tax is collected on all orders shipped to California. Customers with a valid resale certificate may waive sales tax by providing the certificate prior to shipment.
Shipping, Lead Times, and Backorders
Lead time is how long it takes us to get each item ready to ship — and the payment on a card order is taken only once we confirm the date.
Lead time is how long it takes us to get each item ready to ship. Stocked parts usually ship in 1–5 business days; made-to-order parts can take several weeks. Any ship date shown at checkout is a tentative estimate, based on the longest-lead item in your order, and may change. We work to that date; if the actual lead time differs from that estimate, we will contact you before shipping.
Your card is held, not charged. When you pay by card we put a hold on your card — we do not take the money. We check stock and the delivery lead time, and we work to the ship date shown at checkout. Once we confirm we can meet that date, the payment is taken and we notify you. If we cannot meet it, we send you the date we can meet and ask you to approve it; the payment is taken only after you approve. If you decline it, the hold is released and nothing is taken from your card. If we cannot confirm a date, or the authorisation expires first, nothing is charged.
- Please confirm promptly. Card authorisations expire after a short while, so confirm the date when you hear from us. Once a hold expires it cannot be taken, and the order must be paid again.
- Cancellations. You may cancel an order before it ships. Custom or made-to-order items may incur a cancellation fee once production has started.
- Items we do not hold in stock. We stock most of what we sell, but where an item has to be ordered in to fill your order it is fulfilled as a priority and remains subject to material availability; it may be cancelled by either party. The ship-by date shown on your order is the outside date for that line, and we confirm the dates we can meet within 2 to 3 business days.
- Title and risk. All shipments are Ex Works (EXW) or FOB Shipping Point unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Quality Standards and Packaging
RMA tolerances, certifications, and how parts are packaged by default.
All rubber components conform to standard RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) tolerances and guidelines.
Certificates of Conformance (CoC) must be requested at the time of order placement. O-rings are packaged in bulk by default; individual bagging, labeling, or specialized lubrication must be requested at checkout and may incur extra fees.
Returns, RMA, and Refunds
When returns are possible and how the RMA process works.
All sales are final due to the industrial nature and shelf-life constraints of elastomeric compounds. Returns are only accepted for the exceptions below, and no returns are accepted without a pre-approved Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).
- Exceptions. Returns are only accepted for verifiable material defects, damage, or order processing errors.
- Timeframe. Return claims must be initiated within thirty (30) days of product delivery.
- RMA required. No returns will be accepted without a pre-approved Return Merchandise Authorization number.
- Freight costs. Customers are responsible for all return shipping charges, which must be sent via prepaid transportation.
