We do not authorize or permit the resale of our Products by unauthorized retailers, resellers, and/or distributors. Any account associated with a purchase order that we suspect is in connection with the illegal distribution of our Products, or any other activity that was not pre-approved in writing by an authorized officer of Ultimate, may be subject to suspension or immediate termination, and restrained from any further access to this Website. Any open order associated with such an account will be cancelled and credited back to the original purchaser. We reserve the right to pursue any unlawful retailer, resellers, or distributor for violations under applicable law including, but not limited to, The Lanham Act.
If we believe or suspect that your account information is not true, accurate, current or complete, we may deny or terminate your access to this Website (or any portion thereof). The use of a false name, address, telephone number and/or credit card number to purchase any Products on this Website shall constitute fraud under the laws of the state of California and shall constitute your stipulation and admission that 1) your use of a false name, address, telephone number and/or credit card was and is a fraudulent representation made at the time of purchase; 2) was made with the knowledge of said falsity; 3) was made with the intention to defraud Ultimate; 4) that Ultimate’s reliance on your fraudulent representations was and is actual, justifiable and reasonable, and; 5) that Ultimate was and is damaged by your fraud. You further stipulate and admit that such conduct was and is carried out with fraud, malice and oppression and, therefore, an award of punitive damages is both necessary and proper for such conduct. All instances of fraud shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
