By submitting an order, you agree to these Terms and Conditions, our Refund and Returns Policy, and any additional terms presented during checkout.
1. Marketplace Operator
The marketplace operator is Colorado Italian American Foundation, a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) philanthropic heritage & culture organization.
2. Products
COIAF offers commemorative and related merchandise supporting its cultural, educational, community, and scholarship fundraising activities. Product descriptions, dimensions, materials, photographs, and availability are provided in good faith and are intended to be as accurate as reasonably possible.
Color variations and visual details may appear somewhat different depending on the customer’s screen, browser, lighting, and display settings compared to the actual delivered product.
3. Prices and Currency
All prices are stated in United States dollars. Prices displayed in the Shopping Cart and at Checkout control the final merchandise charge. Applicable shipping charges and taxes, when required, are shown separately before the order is submitted.
COIAF may change or offer promotional terms at any time before an order is placed. Price changes will not alter an order that has already been accepted and paid, except when correcting an obvious pricing or technical error with the customer’s approval.

Volume pricing may be offered but is not guaranteed; if you ahve a special interst or request please contact the office with your inquiry by visiting the CONTACT US page.
If a return reduces the number of eligible throws retained by the customer, the refund may be recalculated using the volume-pricing tier applicable to the quantity retained. Any such adjustment will be explained when the return is processed and will remain subject to applicable law and the published Refund and Returns Policy.
5. Orders and Order Acceptance
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected merchandise. An automated order acknowledgement confirms that we received the order but does not guarantee acceptance or shipment.
COIAF may decline or cancel an order when merchandise is unavailable, payment cannot be authorised, information appears inaccurate, fraud is suspected, or a material pricing or technical error has occurred. If payment has already been collected for an order that COIAF cancels, the applicable payment will be refunded.
