Order Processing

We use the Stripe service for credit card payments using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover & Diners. We also accept PayPal for purchases made online. Credit cards and PayPal are charged when you place your order. If for any reason we are not able to fulfill your order, we will issue a refund to your credit card.

Payments by check or money orders are accepted and must be in U.S. funds. Orders paid by check or money order will not be shipped until the payment is received at The Infinite Way office.

The mailing address for payment by check or money order is:

The Infinite Way
PO Box 8260

Sales Tax

The locally applicable sales tax will be charged for orders shipped to a California address. MP3s, downloadable PDFs, Gift Certificates, classes, and other items that are downloaded rather than shipped are not subject to sales tax.

Shipping

Most orders will be shipped within five to seven working days. We use the United States Postal Service (USPS) to deliver our orders. If USPS provides a tracking number, we will update your order with the tracking information. Please note that some shipping methods will not have tracking numbers.

Shipping Rates

Shipping rates are based on the weight of the materials you purchase and your location. We charge a small handling fee to cover the cost of our shipping materials. Shipping costs are shown on the checkout page before you place your order. We use First Class or Priority Mail through the U.S. Post Office for orders within the United States, and we use USPS First Class International or USPS International Priority Mail for those orders outside of the United States.

Shipping to the EU or the UK

EU and UK customers can enjoy a hassle-free shopping experience with all taxes and duties paid
at checkout. The guidelines for shipments to the EU are shown below. Shipments to the UK follow similar guidelines but with differing fees as established by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs department.

  1. VAT and duty Inclusive Pricing: For orders under 150€ (excluding shipping and
    taxes), all VAT and customs duties are included in the price at checkout. No
    additional charges on delivery.
  2. Quick Customs Clearance: Orders under 150€ benefit from expedited customs
    processing, resulting in faster delivery times..
  3. Separate Shipping Fees: Shipping fees are calculated separately and are not
    included in the 150€ limit. Please review shipping costs at checkout.
  4. Customs Support: If local customs charge any fees upon delivery for an order below 150€, please contact our customer support team at InfiniteWay@Earthlink.net for assistance.

Back Orders

If any items in your order are backordered, we will ship the part of your order that is in stock and refund the amount of the backordered items. We will notify you of the backorder and cancellation status.

Returns

All items are guaranteed against defects in workmanship for 30 days from the date of purchase. Defective items must be returned within that 30-day period for replacement, exchange, or refund. Merchandise that has been used or altered will not be accepted for replacement or refund.

Privacy Related to EU and UK Sales

To ensure compliance with European Value-Added Tax (VAT) regulations, we use a third party service provided by EAS Project (easproject.com) for VAT reporting. This service collects and processes certain sales data from our checkout process solely for the purpose of VAT reporting to European tax authorities. The information collected includes:

— Transaction details (e.g., product or service purchased, amount paid)
— Customer information (e.g., billing and shipping address, VAT identification number
if applicable)

The collected data is used exclusively for:

— Calculating and reporting VAT owed to European tax authorities
— Ensuring compliance with relevant VAT laws and regulations

EAS Project employs robust security measures to protect your data during transmission
and storage. We have entered into a data processing agreement with EAS Project to
ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data
protection laws.

We do not share your personal data with EAS Project for any purpose other than VAT
compliance. Your data will not be sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties for marketing or
other purposes.

EAS directly at support@easproject.com or visit their website at easproject.com for more
