E-Commerce and Store Purchase Terms  

These E-Commerce and Store Purchase Terms apply to all purchases made through National Principals Association-operated online stores, including but not limited to merchandise, regalia, recognition items, publications, and other physical products (“Products”). By submitting an order, the purchaser confirms acceptance of the National Principals Association’s Terms and Conditions, including this section, and represents that they are authorized to place the order on behalf of their school or organization, if applicable. 

  • Placing Orders: All orders placed through the National Principals Association online store or through a store representative are subject to acceptance by the National Principals Association. The National Principals Association reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order at its discretion, including but not limited to orders that appear fraudulent, inaccurate, or outside standard fulfillment parameters. Order confirmation emails acknowledge receipt of an order but do not constitute final acceptance. Acceptance occurs when the order is processed and prepared for fulfillment. 
  • Pricing, Tax and Payment: 
    • All prices are listed in U.S. dollars. Prices, availability, and product descriptions are subject to change without notice. Applicable sales tax and shipping charges will be calculated and displayed at checkout, where required by law. 
    • Sales tax will be charged on all orders where required by law. Tax exemption is not applied automatically. Schools, districts, and other organizations claiming tax-exempt status must submit valid tax exemption documentation prior to placing an order. Orders placed before tax-exempt status is approved will be processed as taxable, and sales tax will not be refunded retroactively. Approval of tax-exempt status applies only to future orders and may be revoked if documentation expires or is determined to be invalid. The National Principals Association reserves the right to request updated or additional documentation at any time to maintain tax-exempt status on an account. 
    • The National Principals Association accepts payment through credit cards and checks. Purchase orders and other forms of payment are not accepted. Orders must be paid in full prior to shipment. Proforma orders are not considered final until full payment is received. 
  • Custom Orders:  
    • Custom and made-to-order items must comply with all Brand Logo Policy, including requirements governing the use of the National Principals Association, NHS, NJHS, NEHS, NASC, and affiliated program names, logos, marks, and other brand assets.
    • Official custom apparel and merchandise featuring NPA or affiliated program names, logos, marks, or other brand assets must be purchased through the NPA online store or an authorized NPA store representative. Custom apparel or merchandise using these brand assets may not be produced, purchased, or sourced through third-party vendors or other retailers unless expressly authorized in writing by NPA.
    • Custom orders placed through the National Principals Association online store are subject to review and approval before production. The National Principals Association may contact the purchaser if additional information, artwork, or revisions are required to fulfill the order.
    • Custom and made-to-order items are produced specifically for the purchaser and cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded once production has begun.
    • Lead times for custom orders may vary based on the item, customization, approval process, and production requirements. Any stated lead times are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
  • Shipping and Delivery: The National Principals Association partners with third-party vendors and fulfillment providers to produce, store, and ship Products. While the National Principals Association works closely with these partners, fulfillment timelines, carrier performance, and shipping logistics are subject to third-party processes. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed. The National Principals Association is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather, customs, supply chain disruptions, or other factors beyond its reasonable control. Risk of loss transfers to the purchaser once the order is tendered to the carrier. Shipping charges are non-refundable once an order has been shipped. 
  • Returns, Exchanges and Refunds: The National Principals Association aims to provide high-quality products. 
    • Only non-custom, non-personalized items in new, unused condition may be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to approval. 
    • Custom, personalized, bulk, regalia, recognition items, and clearance items are final sale and not eligible for return or refund. 
    • If an item arrives damaged or incorrect, purchasers must notify the National Principals Association within 30 days of delivery for resolution. 
    • Refunds, if approved, will be issued to the original payment method. Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to National Principals Association error. 
  • Use of Products: Product availability is not guaranteed. The National Principals Association reserves the right to substitute Products of comparable quality, discontinue items, or update product specifications as needed. All Products are intended for personal, educational, or institutional use and may not be resold or used for commercial purposes without prior written consent from the National Principals Association. 
  • Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, the National Principals Association disclaims liability for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from store purchases, including but not limited to shipping delays, lost packages, or use of Products. The National Principals Association’s total liability for any claim related to a purchase shall not exceed the total amount paid for the Product, giving rise to the claim. 

All store purchases and related disputes are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of law principles.
