PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SITES.

I. Introduction

These terms of use (the “Terms”) describe your rights and responsibilities with regard to the Treau Inc. (DBA Gradient) website located at www.gradientcomfort.com as well as related applications or platforms (the “Sites”), and the purchase and sale of products and services through the Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Sites, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to be legally bound by and comply with these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any of these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you may not use the Sites.

In these Terms, the terms “you” and “yours” refer to the person using the Sites. The terms “we”, “our”, “us”, and “Gradient” collectively refer to Treau, Inc. (DBA Gradient).

You and your use of the Sites may also be subject to other terms and conditions that are provided to you or posted on the Sites specific to a particular Gradient product or service (“Other Agreement”). To the extent any Other Agreement includes additional terms that are not covered by or are inconsistent with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the Other Agreement will supersede these Terms.

You should check the Terms from time to time when you use the Sites to determine if any changes have been made. You can determine when the Terms were last revised by referring to the “Last Modified” notation above. If you use the Sites after the amended Terms have been posted, you will be deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms.

All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Discover, Elo, and Diners Club debit and credit cards for all purchases.

We do not store any payment card information (e.g., credit card number, expiration date, and CVV) with respect to purchases made online, by phone, or in person, via credit card. All payment card information is stored by our trusted third-party payment processors.
