 TERMS OF PURCHASE

Product Selection and Suitability

Most products offered by Circle are obtained from multiple supply sources, located throughout the United States and internationally. Many states and localities have codes and regulations governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products for certain purposes, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. While Circle attempts to assure that its products comply with such codes, it cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for how the product is installed or used. Circle makes every reasonable attempt to ensure the quality of these supply sources and the products they offer. As these products are dynamic and versatile, Circle shall not be responsible for how products are used or installed and the product's conformance to local or regional codes or regulations. Please review the product materials and application, and relevant code, regulations or ordinances, to be certain that the product, its installation, and use will satisfy these requirements. In no event will Circle be responsible for any loss or damage arising out of Purchaser's improper selection, misapplication or misuse of a product.
