Currencies
All transactions conducted by or with UShop, including sales of items shown on the Site, issuance of gift certificates and credit for returned merchandise, are made in US Dollars. However, for orders shipping to Hong Kong, UShop may allow customers paying by check or direct deposit, if such payment option is available, the option to settle in Hong Kong dollars at the fixed exchange rate of US$1 to HK$7.75.

Payment made by credit card or PayPal® in a currency other than US Dollars will be converted to US Dollars at the exchange rate determined by your credit card issuer or PayPal. Please consult your credit card issuer agreement or the user agreement for the PayPal service for information regarding the determination of exchange rates by them. These exchange rates may include a "spread," or amount payable to PayPal or the credit card issuer, which may result in the actual price paid being higher than the posted US Dollar price.
The Site allows users the opportunity to choose a "Reference Currency." The Reference Currency function converts the US Dollar prices shown on the Site to a currency selected by the user from those available on the Site. REFERENCE CURRENCY PRICES ARE COMPUTED AT THE APPROXIMATE EXCHANGE RATES AVAILABLE FROM TIME TO TIME FOR RETAIL TRANSACTIONS PURSUANT TO INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO UShop; HOWEVER, UShop IS NOT A BANK OR A CURRENCY DEALER, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT PRICES SHOWN ON THE SITE IN A REFERENCE CURRENCY REPRESENT ACTUAL PRICES PAYABLE BY CUSTOMERS IN SUCH REFERENCE CURRENCY.

ACTUAL CONVERSION RATES FOR PURCHASES WILL BE COMPUTED AS PROVIDED ABOVE.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE TO CUSTOMERS RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN CURRENCY RATES.
UShop does not provide cash refunds to customers. However, in the event that any such refund were to be made in the future to a customer who had previously paid in a currency other than US Dollars and such refund was made through the customer's credit card or PayPal®, then the credit card issuer or PayPal would determine the applicable exchange rate at such time as provided above.

Price Comparisons and "Save" Amounts
