All sales of products and services are final. All charges from those sales are nonrefundable. 6. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. All payments must be made by credit card. Unless expressly set forth on the Buy.com Canada site, we do not accept any other payment form. If we offer or accept any other form of payment, you hereby agree to all restrictions, terms and conditions associated with such additional form of payment. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Terms of Use to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.

Buy.com Canada further reserves the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by Buy.com Canada upon shipment of products or performance of services that you have ordered, as indicated by our servers. Title to goods passes to you upon delivery to the common carrier.

Price Comparisons, "List Price" and "You Save". Price comparisons may be made throughout the site to indicate the relative savings amounts of our pricing. "LIST PRICE" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our suppliers. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "YOU SAVE" reflects the difference between our price and the supplier provided list price shown on our sites. Because the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount and may want to make an exact comparison for yourself by checking the prices of other internet or local retailers prior to making a purchase. 11. Service and Support for Goods Sold. All requests for technical service and support should be made directly to the manufacturer in accordance with their terms and conditions. 12. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buy.com Canada and its parents, sister companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers, other End Users, distributors, licensors, officers, directors and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party arising out of or related to your violation of this Terms of Use, or your violation of any law, regulation or third-party right. continued Last modified: April 1, 2006

fyrefly · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:28 AM

Yeah, I jumped on this deal too - too good to pass up - I think I'll be getting a clearout Rev A MacBook when the new Core2 MB's are released (sometime soon?) so this it a killer deal on a RAM upgrade.

EDIT: MacDoc's right about being cautious... but I've ordered from BUY.com before, and I've never had a problem... but yeah, those Terms of Sale are a little sketchy. (fingers crossed... :S )

I found 2GB of Hynix 667MHz DDR2 PC-5300 ram on eBay, and won it for under $200. It's been flawless in my MacBook.

gmark2000 · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:58 AM

Sorry Macdoc. Could you distill your caveat?? For example, I could list Apple's terms here and it would be even longer. I don't understand your specific point.

MacDoc · Oct 29th, 2006, 12:05 PM

There are many complaints about buy.com and their terms are a bit on the dodgy side compared to a online source like OWC.

The deal is far far below market and resolving issues with buy.com in light of their terms and in light of the complaints may be no easy issue. They clearly force you to skip the terms - as it's some 20,000 words in a 2" square box.

RAM is only a good deal if it works in the machines properly.
We've had entire batches from good suppliers with problems on machines the RAM is spec'd for - one reason we insist on pre -testing sets.

When it's as far below market as that - my suspicion would be very high about what is being shipped - in addition the image on the site is of a dimm not a sodimm.

as I suggested - caveat emptor.

I put the whole thing up since you have to say you've read it to buy from them and at least for those that really do want to read it.....it's much easier.

On top of that this kind of stuff

You need to read the privacy policy as well.....they can change the terms when they want...etc etc.

So not ony are you acknowledging reading the first 20,000 word opus - but the Privacy policy as well.

Does this really strike you as an approach to protect you the consumer????

I've never had a problem with buy.com, I've actually been impressed with their good prices and fast turnaround on shipping. Usually the FREE shipping that I always go for is here in 2-3 days.

Yup, i also have NEVER had a problem with buy.com Canada(purchased around 5 6 orders). Shipping was pretty fast(even for free) and service was good. Ordered this ram. Thanks!
