4.1. The provisions of this clause 4 apply where you are purchasing an Omeo that has not yet been assembled as at the Order Date:
4.1.1 Week 1: We will submit your order to our assembly plant for production one (1) week after receipt of the payment in full. During this period prior to the submission of your order to our assembly plant, you may cancel your order or make any changes to your configuration without incurring any costs.
4.1.2. Week 2 until delivery: When we submit an instruction to our assembly plant for the assembly of your Omeo, your payment becomes earned and non-refundable, except to the extent you are entitled to a refund under clause 3.1 of this Agreement. Once the assembly of your Omeo is actually underway, changes to your configuration will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to accommodate. If you want to make changes to your configuration, we will try to accommodate your request. If we can accommodate your request, you will be subject to potential price increases for any pricing adjustments made since your original Order Date. Any changes made to your configuration, including changes to the Base Price, estimated freight and marine insurance, will be reflected in a revised Purchase Invoice confirmation that once prepared, will replace the original Purchase Invoice and form part of this Agreement.
4.1.3. The Purchase Price is not refundable in full once the Omeo is Shipped.
