INFORMATION
We try to be as accurate as possible with our product descriptions. However, we do not warrant, and we do not claim that our product descriptions or other content of this site are entirely accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. These descriptions are provided for general information and orientation, and they should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions to purchase the products.
The products, materials, and services described on this site have an essential component based on fantasy, and perception may vary from one person to another; that is why we do not accept any responsibility for their performance or satisfaction. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.
This site contains literature to inspire the user to use our products and explain how they were conceived and designed. However, this information does not intend in any way to describe the product, nor provide instructions or advice.
We have supported our product descriptions with pictures, trying to be as transparent as possible. However, due to space limitations and other factors, these pictures have been edited, and we cannot guarantee that your computer monitor will accurately display the products' color or texture. Therefore, our products' images can be considered only as a mere reference of the product and not how the final product that you will receive will look in real life. Therefore, pictures should never be the only factor of information to decide to purchase our products.
We always try to portray our products realistically, understood as an approach to reality but not the reality in itself. Clothes, makeup, accessories, and jewels shown in pictures help in this purpose but are not included as part of the product and are not for sale.
Our products are reproductions of human bodies and body parts, trying to achieve the maximum approach to reality that technology allows today. Our products do not intend, in any way, to be exact copies of human people, nor to substitute people, or functions performed by real people. Therefore, our products are designed for entertainment and assistance and cannot replace human people.
We reserve the right to modify this Website's content at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information.
If you believe that a product offered by us is not as described, your sole remedy is to contact us to discuss the situation and determine the best outcome.

PAYMENT
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal as forms of payment.
Artificial Companions ensures the maximum security and privacy of data transmitted during the payment process by encryption, using the services of Authorize.net and JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, storing sensitive payment information on highly secure servers in compliance with PCI DSS industry standards.
Your purchases will appear in your bank's credit card statement as "PC Toys".
All prices are in US dollars and include all taxes except for the State of Florida, where an additional 6% is applicable.
We will verify all payments carefully. Once the transaction has been verified and considered legitimate, we will initiate the manufacturing and shipping processes.
We do not charge any transaction fees.
You will be required to input your credit card's verification code and expiration date at checkout for your safety and security. This is, in the case of Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, the 3-digit number that appears on the back of your credit card in the signature box. In the case of American Express, your verification code is the 4-digit number printed on the front of your card.
PAYMENTS REJECTED
If your credit card or the entity that issued the credit card refuses the transaction or our merchant considers that the transaction may be fraudulent, the payment will be rejected.
If a payment is rejected, the order will not be processed, and the credit card will not be charged.
If your credit card is invalid, expired, or canceled, the purchasing transaction will be considered invalid, and the order will not be processed. The purchasing transaction will be considered null or void.
If you receive an error trying to process a transaction with PayPal, there is an issue with your PayPal account. In that case, you must contact PayPal for support and additional information.
Some banks require that you authorize a transaction verbally before approving a transaction. We will notify you if your bank informs us that that verification is required. Your order will not be processed until you approve that transaction and your bank approves that transaction to us.
If your transaction is declined, please double-check the credit card information you have entered and make sure that your billing address exactly matches this information. If this is the case, you should contact your bank for additional assistance.

BINDING ARBITRATION
In case of disagreement, you waive jury trials and class actions and agree to present and pay all costs for an arbitrary mediation out-of-court with a Law firm based in Miami, Florida, to determine an alternate resolution.
Customers living out of the United States agree to an alternative dispute resolution procedure only if a court of law rules that arbitration is prohibited by law.
