Alter Ego Sports Store Policies

Information Security

Alter Ego Sports is dedicated to the privacy of our customer's personal information. Although the site does collect some information (such as internet address, browser in use, etc.) this is in no way shared with anyone outside of Alter Ego Sports or its payment processing partners, and will not be sold to any third parties. Additionally, information gathered through user's accounts will also be kept in the most strict privacy, and will not be sold to outside sources, but only for the use of providing our customers the best possible service.

Prices and Information

This website is intended to help you. We make every effort to maintain current, accurate pricing. We strive for similar accuracy and timeliness with the other information we offer here. However, we do make mistakes and there may be items that are listed online that are incorrect. We appreciate your understanding should any of the prices or other information provided be incorrect and regret any inconvenience such mistakes may create. If a regular price seems to good to be true, it is likely an error. Please bring any errors you may find to our attention on your next visit or by calling or sending us an e-mail. 

Site Errors and Order Processing

Additionally, Alter Ego Sports is not responsible for typographical errors. If an error does exist, Alter Ego Sports will notify the customer of the error, and will strive to fix the problem.

Backorders and Substitutions

Occasionally, some items are unexpectedly out of stock or unavailable and may be backordered. If this should occur, we will contact you and inform you of the delay. If there are remaining, ready-to-ship items that you want, we will only bill your credit card for merchandise that is actually shipped. A refund may be implemented for any unavailable items.

If you'd like us to hold your order for backordered items, please email us. We will do our best to inform you what is going to ship and how long a back order will be.

In many cases, we will have similar products which may suit your needs (perhaps in a different colour or from a different manufacturer). We will suggest such items and leave it up to you - you don't need to worry about arbitrary substitutions!

In Store Pickup

Most orders will usually be ready within one business day. We are happy to accommodate quicker pickup times if you would kindly call us by phone to confirm the order prior to picking it up. It is always recommended that you call before you come down to the shop, to ensure that everything is in order.

Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders need to be picked up within 5 business days or a 15% restocking fee will be charged. If you know you will be a few days late, a simple call will suffice to avoid any fees and hassles.
