Price Match Guarantee
OMAX is committed to providing you with quality microscopes and accessories at the best prices. However, if you should find the same new product advertised elsewhere for a lower price within 30 days after your purchase, we will gladly match our competitor's price. Please note that eBay auction prices are not eligible (however “Buy It Now” prices are). To request price match, please email us on our Contact Us page with a direct link to the listing showing the price for verification.
Customs Duties
Customs duties and brokerage fees might be applicable for some countries. All duties and brokerage fees, if any, are the buyers' responsibility. Please contact the Customs Office of your country to find the rate, as we unfortunately do not have that information available to us to provide; in our experience, customs duties/taxes are usually around 15-20% of the purchase price. Again, customs fees are never part of the amount customers pay to OMAX and they are paid in addition to the order amount, paid directly to the country you're shipping to. Refusal of an order after it ships will result in the customer's forfeiture of shipping costs, as well as any other financial penalty incurred by the carrier.

Regardless of where you access this site, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions shall be filed and adjudicated only in the federal or state courts located in Orange County, California, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these terms and conditions.
This product may expose you to chemicals such as lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Please visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for additional information.
