Terms and Conditions
Taxes
7% state sales tax will be
collected on all shipments to a New
Jersey address, unless a valid resale certificate is on file. As of
October 1, 2006, shipping charges to NJ customers are also subject to NJ
sales tax. All items picked up in person at Zeckhausen Racing are
subject to NJ sales tax, regardless of the residence of the customer.
See:
http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/vendors.htm for more details.
Freight
Unless otherwise specified or agreed
to, all goods will be shipped by UPS surface freight, pre-paid and added to
the invoice. All domestic freight charges are invoiced at actual cost and no
handling charges are billed for standard freight. The customer may specify
alternate shipping (e.g., Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, 3-Day Select), at time
of order.
International orders may require additional handling charges for customs
paperwork and other overhead costs. Credit cards for international
orders will be accepted at Zeckhausen Racing's discretion for small
items. More expensive items may be paid for with a bank wire transfer, prior to shipment of goods.
Because our bank currently charges a $25 fee for receipt of wire transfers,
this amount will be added to the invoice. Payment may also be made by
Western Union. See:
http://www.westernunion.com/info/osIndex.asp for instructions.
Customers
are responsible for any duty or tariffs imposed by your local government
agency. Carriers, such as UPS, may charge the customer for border
brokerage fees. For this reason, we try to ship international
orders via USPS, since they do not charge these fees. For
heavier items, such as brake rotors, USPS becomes impractical because weight limitations. We will let you know your
shipping options and make recommendations based on our experience and your
deadline.
Insurance
Domestic shipments
worth more than $100 are insured. UPS insurance rates are currently $0.35 /
$100 declared value. UPS may change these rates without prior notice
and these rates will be passed along to the customer.
Sales
Conditions
Prices and product availability are
subject to change. Please verify prices and availability prior to ordering.
By placing an order you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Freight
Damage
Any and all damage claims must be made
with the responsible carrier. Claims must be made by you the customer, as
Zeckhausen Racing can not initiate claims on your behalf.
Wheel to
Caliper Clearance of Big Brake Kits
In many cases big brake kits
will not fit under stock wheels. Most 17" wheels will clear the outer
diameter of calipers on brake kits with 328 and 332mm rotors, while an 18" wheel is
typically required for 355mm kits. However, some 17" wheels will clear
355mm kits.
The
more critical clearance is between the back of the wheel spokes to the
outer face of the caliper. Do not assume an 18, 19 or even 20+ inch
wheel will clear the outer face of the caliper. Templates and
measurements are available to help customers
determine wheel fitment, and we can tell you about wheel
combinations we've successfully used. Some wheel manufacturers,
such as HRE, can build a wheel for you that takes into account the
dimensions of your big brake kit. BBS wheels has an online application
guide at the following link: bbs-usa.com
(click on "Application Guide" in the upper left corner of the BBS web page.)
Final fitment of big brakes, however, is the responsibility of
the customer.
Wheel Spacers
Wheel
spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This
will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the
vehicle. Basic suspension settings will generally not be adversely affected
by a slight widening (5-15mm per side) of the track. Fender clearances
should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts will
be required.
It
is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly
specified and installed.
Brake Vibration
The most
common cause of brake vibration is thickness variations on the rotor. As
delivered, kits from StopTech have typical rotor thickness
variation within 0.0003". Actual rotor thickness variation will never
change, though pad material may be deposited unevenly on one or more spots
of the rotor face. Under extreme conditions, any rotor will suffer
uneven pad deposition due to improper bed-in or exceeding the pad's Maximum
Operating Temperature (MOT). This deposited material may induce a vibration,
and if severe enough, can only be cured by replacing the rotor. Not
following proper break-in procedures for the rotor and pads, or using street
pads on the track are the most common causes of brake vibration. Leaving a
foot on the brake pedal when the brakes are hot may also cause pad deposits
on the rotor. For best results, follow these guidelines when
installing new pads, rotors, or big brake kits:
Proper Bedding Procedure
Zeckhausen Racing is not liable for vibrations caused by extreme usage or
improper break-in procedures.
Brake Noise
Certain
brake pad compounds make more noise than others. Proper anti-squeal shim
plates between the caliper pistons and backing plate of the pad may help reduce
the problem. Anti-squeal lubricants are also available to reduce or
eliminate the noise. The reality is, some performance pads are more prone to
brake squeal than others. And full race pads, when used on the street,
may squeal like an old school bus.
The
customer is responsible for any squeal related problems due to pad selection.
Returns
To return goods for refund or
credit, please contact Zeckhausen Racing to obtain an RMA (Returned Materials
Authorization) number. Any item(s) received without an RMA, may be refused.
All returned goods must be in their
original packaging. All items must be properly wrapped and packed for
shipment to avoid damage. With the exception of returns that are the
result of our error, shipping costs for returned items are the
responsibility of the buyer. Returned items must be received by
Zeckhausen Racing within 30 days of your original receipt of the order.
All goods must be returned freight
pre-paid and insured. To obtain full credit, returned goods and original
packaging must be unused
and in new condition. For example, product boxes covered with greasy
handprints are not returnable.
All
returned items (other than returns caused by our error) are subject to
a re-stocking fee of 20% or a minimum
of $25.
