Loss and Damage

Horizon Optimus does not take any responsibility for orders shipped through the US Postal Service. Horizon Optimus will insure loss and damage on orders shipped by us through UPS, AT NO CHARGE TO OUR CUSTOMER.

Horizon Optimus accepts third-party shipping, however any loss or damage is the responsibility of the third party shipper. Third-party shipments are subject to a convenience fee. Our third-party shipping authorization form can be found here.

All shipments become the property of the dealer once picked up by the carrier. Damage to product or packaging must be reported within five days of receipt of shipment to Horizon Optimus' Customer Service Hotline at 1-888-409-0006. If a shipment is damaged, we strongly recommend documenting this fact at the time of receipt with digital photography so that Horizon Optimus may effectively advocate on your behalf with the carrier.

Pricing

Prices for products and labor are subject to change without notice. If a price change should impact a quote given to your customer, please let us know so that an accommodation can be made if possible. We reserve the right to make adjustments to our price schedule without notice.

Counter Sales

Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. is a pool and spa parts distributor catering to the repair parts and equipment needs of service, repair, construction, and retail companies nationwide since 1992. We maintain warehouses in Tucson and Memphis and our professional staff conducts over 99.5% of our business over the phone, e-mail, or the Internet. Each workstation is set up to give our sales professionals instant access to information on all issues relevant to the field technician and is designed to allow us to partner with you, making your time in the field as efficient and profitable as possible. Thousands of dealers have taken advantage of this partnership and it has worked for them, no matter where in the world they are located. They have come to equate Horizon Optimus with great service, accurate information, and the parts they need.

For many years, Horizon Optimus has offered counter sales, which gave our local Tucson and Memphis Metro Area dealers the chance to come in and go through the parts troubleshooting, ordering, and pickup process here at our facility. As we have embraced major technological advances, we have come to realize that we have not been able to continue giving the same kinds of product and technical support at the Will Call sales counter as we can over the phone, e-mail, and Internet. Counter sales do tend to be more resource intensive for both of us and we would like to help you be as productive and profitable as possible while at the job site - this means being in touch with you by phone, email, and the Internet. Let's look at some ways that we can help you, a local Tucson or Memphis Metro Area dealer, maximize your field repair efforts:

• NEXT DAY FREE SHIPPING throughout the Tucson and Memphis Metropolitan areas. When you order your parts by 3:30pm, you will have your parts delivered to you the NEXT BUSINESS DAY, whether it is at your office or your job site.
• A PHONE CALL FROM THE JOB SITE will put you in touch with one of the finest technical sales teams ever assembled in the pool and spa industry. Our Technical Sales team can be reached at 800-874-7727 and our Technical Services team can be reached at 866-601-7404. Both teams are available M-F 6am-5pm (Tucson Time) and will be happy to answer your technical questions, verify inventory, and reserve your parts for FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY to your place of business or to your job site.
• DO YOU NEED A PART MATCHED? Take one or several photos of your repair situation with your camera phone and transmit to us via email to matchparts@horizonparts.com. Then call us from that job site and discuss the photos you sent. We will advise you on identity, price, stock status, and any needed installation information. This can be done very quickly as you will be able to remain at the job site, you can be much more responsive to your customer, and you can bill for a higher percentage of your time.
• TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR WEB SITES! We have the industry's most advanced websites packed with information relevant to your repair situation. You can access this resource from your field laptop, tablet, or your cell phone. Take advantage of our comprehensive Technical Library, view real time pricing and stock information, and even place your order for FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY to your office or job site. This resource is yours to use 24hrs a day and you don't even have to leave your customer's back yard!

WHAT IF I NEED A PART TODAY? Not a problem! Sometimes things happen and you have to get a customer up and running today. Call us from the job site immediately, and discuss your situation with our technical sales team. They will prepare your order and will have it ready for you within 1-2 hours after you call. Then come to us, pick up your order, and be back on your way to your customer. Since our order processing system is necessarily geared towards Internet and phone sales, you may find that it may be slower at the Will Call Counter than the point of sale methods used in the past. So, if you need changes made to your order while at the Will Call Counter, please understand that it may take an hour to process those changes. Of course, we will do our best to make it faster, and we hope that you will understand and that you will do as much to take advantage of our phone and web resources as possible.

Will Call Hours are 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday.

We consider the security of personally identifiable information provided to us of paramount importance. We use state of the art SSL encryption software and other security measures to protect against the loss, theft, alteration, and misuse of information under our control.

In an effort to ensure you are connected to our secured servers, we strongly recommend you check the Address Bar of your web browser. You are connected to a secured server when the address starts with HTTPS, rather than an unsecured server address starting with HTTP.

You should take every precaution to read the privacy and security policies of these websites before sending them any sensitive information.

Credit Card Security

Credit card security improved in 2010. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) group created guidelines to safeguard your credit card information. Credit cards are not stored at Horizon Optimus offices. Customers that wish to use credit cards can manage them during checkout. Card information is stored in an electronic vault approved by the credit card processor. These changes took effect in October 2010.

Statement Of Warranty

Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. will honor the original manufacturer's warranty on the products it sells. Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. assumes no liability for any injury, loss or damage resulting from the improper use of or malfunction of an item we sell. Our liability is limited specifically to the replacement of defective parts as provided by the manufacturer's warranty. We will examine merchandise you send to our facility for warranty as per the requirements of the manufacturer. We will look at such things a date of original sale, product date codes, chemical or physical damage, and evidence of unreasonable use. Parts with physical damage are not considered warrantable. If you receive damaged goods, please notify our customer service department immediately. Do not use or install physically damaged parts, as they will not be returnable. The final determination as to if the product is warrantable will be made by the manufacturer or by Horizon Optimus as the manufacturer's agent. All warrantable items will be credited to your account, or replaced with a like item. In some cases, the replacement item will be a repaired and reconditioned unit. Items determined not to be warrantable will be returned to the dealer and the dealer will be liable for any payment of replacement parts that were previously sent to support the Warranty.

Return Policy

Items that are returned to Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. fall into three general categories: product that has failed in the field, product that was ordered incorrectly by the customer, and product that was sold or shipped incorrectly by us. Although we all strive to perform at the highest level possible, we know that mistakes will sometimes be made. All we ask of you is to receive an RMA number when there is a need to ship product back to us. RMAs can be started by visiting our websites or by calling us. The RMA we issue helps us prepare for the arrival of the product so when it gets here we can deal with it quickly and efficiently. We do require that you send the product to us within 30 days after we issue the RMA or you will be financially liable for any replacement product that was sent to you on a warranty replacement basis. Product sent to us on a RMA number older than 30 days will not be accepted. Returned merchandise must be in resalable condition and a copy of the original invoice should be included. PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW ON PACKAGING YOUR RETURNS. All returns will be credited to your account. No cash refunds will be made.

In the rare instance that Horizon Spa and Pool Parts, Inc. makes a shipping error, we will gladly remedy the mistake at our expense. Product that you no longer need or product that you ordered incorrectly will be subject to a 25% restocking charge. Under no circumstances will special order products be accepted for return unless there is a manufacturer defect. If this proves to be a problem for you, please discuss it with one of our sales professionals.

Packaging Your RMA Goods For Return - There are several things you can do to ensure the safe passage of your returned goods and minimize the chances for damage.

• Use original product boxes and bags when available.
• Please pack your return well, including sufficient packing material to protect your return from damage. If you use peanuts or similar material, please bag the return items to prevent intrusion of peanuts into the product. Great examples are control systems, pumps and wet ends, heater assemblies, and so on.
• Please note that if your returned product arrives at Horizon Optimus in a damaged condition due to improper packaging, you will be held liable for the cost of the product as well as any expense to either repair or return the product to you.
• Make sure you indicate on the shipping label that this is a return and make sure your RMA number is legibly placed on the outside of the box near the shipping label. Failure to do this will result in a substantial delay in the processing of your return!
• Don't forget to insure your return when shipping it if the value is over $100.00. Failure to do this will expose you to the cost of the product if the shipment is lost or misdirected by the carrier.

Copyright Policy

We at Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. have designed our print and electronic catalogs, website, and other materials, as tools for you to use. Our desire is that you do business with us as easily and effectively as possible so that you have more time to devote to your customers. The tools we have created were designed specifically to enable a relationship between you and us – they were not designed to facilitate a business relationship between you and your retail customers. As a wholesaler, we have never allowed direct business or technical transactions between a consumer and ourselves – we have always deferred to you the dealer. We don’t wish to see our materials and brand imagery become associated with retail direct transactions. You have a unique way to present your products and services to your retail customer and we would not want to get in the way of the creative methods you use.

Since we put a lot of work into creating our technical sales support team, catalogs, website, and other materials, we naturally want to see that their use is proper and supportive of the relationship between you and us. To that end, no portion of our catalogs, website, imagery, brand names, or other materials may be copied, reproduced, or distributed electronically, mechanically, or by any other means without the express written approval of Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. Since we want to protect our business relationship with you, we will be very proactive in correcting any improper use of our tools and materials.

We will always be looking for innovative ways to facilitate and grow our business relationship with you.
