We know we have great prices, but if you manage to find a lower price for any item on our website, simply complete our price match form. We will beat that price! You will receive a lower price quote via email as well as instructions on how to order at this lower price. We will apply your discount before we charge your card (for this reason, all price match inquiries must be made before placing an order). Unfortunately we cannot honor any price match requests after an order has been placed due to constantly changing online prices.

Our price policy applies to the total price of your order (merchandise + tax + shipping), so do not be fooled by sites that seem to have great deals but then charge outrageous prices for shipping! If you consider all this, our total price will almost always be lower!

Please keep the following in mind:

• The competitor must have the item in stock and ready to ship (most of our items ship the same business day when ordered before 5PM ET)
• The item must be in new condition and exactly the same as ours
• Price matching will be based on total cost, including item price, shipping price, and tax (we only charge tax on Michigan orders)
• This form must be submitted before you place the order. We cannot issue price match refunds on orders already placed
• Please allow us up to 2 full business days to research your request. If your order must ship in less than 2 full business days, there isn't time to research your request
• The order must be made with a credit card within 3 business days of receiving our lower price quote

Ordering online with Century Novelty is secure and convenient. We recognize that your privacy and security are important and we are devoted to ensuring that your personal information is safe.

We use the latest technology in online security such as site identification and data encryption. With site identification your browser automatically ensures that you are connected only to our Web site. If a problem arises your browser will alert you to the potential loss of security.

The strict data encryption that we use hides sensitive information like your name, address, and credit card information. Our ordering process is protected by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts your information and confirms the identity of the Century Novelty server before allowing your shopping cart to be checked out. Modern browsers support the SSL protocol. We recommend that you use the latest browsers to ensure that you are protected by advances in security technology.

• When accessing an SSL-secured Web site, the user's browser sends a message to the Web server, requesting a secure session.
• The Web server responds by sending the user its server certificate (which includes its public key).
• The user's browser will verify that the server's certificate is valid and has been signed by a certificate authority whose certificate is in the browser's database. It will also verify that the certificate authority certificate has not expired.
• If the certificates are all valid, the user's browser will generate a one-time, unique "session" key and encrypt it with the server's public key. The user's browser will then send the encrypted session key to the server so that they will both have a copy.
• The server will decrypt the message using its private key and recover the session key.

This completes the SSL "handshake" process, and a secure SSL connection has been established. The entire process of establishing the SSL connection typically happens transparently to the user and takes only seconds.

A key or padlock icon in the lower corner of the browser window indicates that the browser is running in secure mode. SSL is supported in the vast majority of browsers and Web servers on the market.

Most items can be returned to us up to 30 days from the date your order ships-No questions asked! Since many of our products are very seasonal, we cannot accept returns after 30 days.

Simply include a copy of your invoice with your return and send it to:

CenturyNovelty.com
Attn: Returns
6271 Commerce Dr
Westland, MI 48185

Ship the package back to us at your cost using the shipping method of your choice. We suggest you use a shipping method that provides a tracking number. Under no circumstances should you "refuse" delivery of a package or tell the driver to "return to sender." Doing so will result in a return shipping charge (equal to your original shipping amount) and up to a 40% restocking fee.

As soon as we receive your package, provided it's in saleable condition, we will immediately process your refund and credit your account for the purchase price of the returned product.

Unfortunately, we're unable to accept returns on items that can't be resold. You wouldn't want to receive merchandise that was already used! These items include:

• Items used in the mouth or on the lips
• Items worn on the body such as a hats and hula skirts
• Candy and food products
• Glow stick and necklace products
• Special orders (orders that received special pricing from a sales rep)
• Sale Items

However some items are individually packaged or wrapped. If the item you wish to return arrived to you in a wrapper and is still in the wrapper (meaning, it was not used) it may be returned (except candy. We can never accept a return on candy and food products because that is unsanitary).

Of course, if your purchase is defective, or if we shipped the wrong item, we will gladly send you a replacement; free of charge. Please click here for more details on getting this error corrected.

Please ensure that your shipping address is complete and correct. If a package is returned to Century Novelty due to incomplete or incorrect address information or because of unsuccessful delivery attempts, a restocking fee of up to 40% of the returned merchandise total may be charged.

As soon as we receive your package, we will process your refund and email you an updated receipt generally within two business days.

You should see this credit appear on your account within 3-6 business days. This processing time varies by financial institution. If you have questions about the amount of time it will take for the refund to post to your account, or if you don't receive the credit within 6 business days, please contact your credit/debit card bank.
