Spare parts and labor are purchased from our online store, shop.nisene.com, with payment being made via major credit card and/or PayPal.

Payment terms are strict Net-30 from date of invoice. Any exceptions must be agreed upon in writing with the NTG accounting team prior to purchase order submission.

Shipping
Shipping of all NTG products is borne of the customer. Acceptable incoterms that meet the requirement for this include Ex-works and FOB. Under no circumstance shall NTG be responsible for any shipping charges, including but not limited to: courier fees, warehouse storage charges, customs and duties, and insurance. When placing the purchase order, please include all shipping information, including but not limited to: shipping contact person name, phone number, and e-mail address; preferred courier, account number, and speed at which the order is to be shipped; shipping address; and any other pertinent information that would aid in the efficient transportation and delivery of purchased goods. NTG ships all of its products from Watsonville, California, United States of America.
Please note that NTG insures all of its shipments for 100% of the value of the item being shipped.
Return Policy
In the event of an order cancellation due to “buyer’s remorse,” lack of funding, or any other reason, a 20% restocking fee will be charged to the customer — payable immediately.
Product Acceptance
All customers of NTG products are entitled to a system acceptance period of 15 days from date of invoice. Failure to report a non-acceptance within that time period will result in the forfeiture of rights to not accept. Please note that payment terms of Net-30 from date of invoice still apply, regardless of when the system was accepted.
Installation and/or Training
Installation and training, if purchased, must be preceded by completion of the facility preparation requirements as expressed in the facilities requirements document provided by NTG. Installation and training will not be scheduled until all requirements have been met, signed-off by a manager the facility, and the checklist completed and e-mailed back to the NTG technician performing the installation.
Document Signing
Nisene has made the technological leap from scanned documents with handwritten signatures to digital signatures for all of its signed documentation. You might be curious why this switch is being made, when you’ve been accustomed to signing documents all these years and then scanning and sending them that way. The switch is being made because digital signatures with authenticated IDs are the absolute safest way to sign and transmit a document electronically. They require a password to apply to a document, and then once the document has a digital signature applied there is a special encryption that goes along with that which confirms the authenticity of the signer. This as opposed to a handwritten signature, which can easily be forged and has no true method of verification. This is being done for the security of all parties involved.
If you are unfamiliar with digital signatures and digital IDs, here are a couple links that will help you to understand:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature
You may have a digital signature prepared already. If you do, the transition will be seamless. If you do not, there will be a little bit of a learning curve; however, it is very easy to implement. To create your own digital ID using Adobe, see this article:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/digital-ids.html
Note that your experience in creating a digital ID may differ from this, as you might have a different software preference. All digital IDs and signatures share the same security measures by definition, so as long as you have some form of that on your computer for signing documents, that is fine. One thing that you may wish to do as you become more proficient with digital signatures is to use an embedded signature graphic with each signature. This gives your digital signature that “authentic look” that harkens back to the traditional signature with a pen. That has a really nice look to it, and every Nisene employee has that for our documentation signing.
All forms that require signatures that originate from Nisene will have a signature field prepared for your easy signature application.
