How do I place an online or phone order?
Orders can be placed online or by calling our friendly, knowledgeable customer service department at 1.877.826.6228.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards. Payment is expected when the order is placed. You can mail in a check or money order, but we ask that you place your order with Customer Service at 1.877.826.6228. Your order will not be shipped until the check clears the issuing bank. We also accept Future Pay, see below for more information. We do not accept PayPay or C.O.D. orders.

When placing your order, be sure to select the SUBMIT button once. Multiple clicks may result in multiple charges to your card.

If you believe you are due a refund for a cancelled/declined order please check your statement and determine whether you have a PENDING authorization, or a CAPTURED transaction.  If it's pending you'll need to contact your bank/card company, if it's captured contact us directly with proof of the captured funds to receive a refund.

Please call 1.877.826.6228 or use our live chat, located in the bottom right corner of your screen, immediately if you are needing to alter an order.  Emails can take up to 24hrs to receive a response; therefore the order may be shipped before its read.

We do everything we can to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee that your request will be honored due to real time order processing. If an order has already entered the shipping process, we will not be able to cancel or make changes.

Gateway error means authorize.net (our online payment system) didn't respond with a credit card approval for payment.

This could be due to a variety of reasons, the credit card number is not correct, your card was declined due to insufficient funds, your address didn't match billing address, etc. Please read the error to determine the problem.

All orders are subject to our verification process for accuracy and payment validation authorization. For security reasons, we may contact you via email or telephone to request additional information. In order to protect against fraudulent activity, we must verify the bill-to and ship-to address. When placing your order, please be certain to provide your exact billing address and phone number (the address and phone number your credit card's issuing bank has on file). Incorrect information will cause a delay in the processing time, and possible order cancelation without prior notice.

For International Orders we will require you to email a copy of the front and back of the credit card used, and valid driver's license for any order containing an International address. This is to ensure that the card is physically in your possession, and to reduce fraud. Please email the aforementioned to Customer Service for approval. All orders are subject to hold or cancellation if a response is not received within 2 weeks.

When will my credit/debit card be charged?
When your order is placed our bank puts a hold on your funds in the amount of your order. However, it doesn't capture those funds until the item is shipped. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover cards. Payment is expected when the order is placed.

Am I charged sales tax?
We charge local sales tax for all orders where sales tax is required. The tax rate will be determined based on your ship-to location. The rate will be reflected in your shopping cart. If you have questions about whether your state requires sales tax, please email Customer Service.

If you're an approved reseller we require a Resale Exemption Certificate from your state. You will need to place your order via phone at 1.877.826.6228.

How do I track my order?
You can log into My Account and see the status of your order under My Orders. Once your order has been shipped you will receive an email, to the email address you provided, with all your order tracking information.

What is a back order?
A back order is when one or more of the items you ordered are temporary out-of-stock. You will be alerted to this status in your shopping cart and again, after the order was placed, via email. Please note that we do not ship partial International orders, which means your entire order will ship when the back order item(s) become available for shipping.

How do I cancel my order?
Please call 1.877.826.6228 or use live chat immediately if you need to alter an order.  Emails can take up to 24-hours to receive a response, therefore the order may be shipped before it's read. We do everything we can to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee that your request will be honored due to real time order processing. If an order has already entered the shipping process, we will not be able to cancel or make changes.

APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
Your order from Combat Sports International and/or Ringside shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Kansas, U.S. If the amount in controversy does not exceed the amount allowed in the Small Claims Division of the District Court in Johnson County Kansas, you agree that Court has jurisdiction and venue, and you agree to resolve the dispute in that Court. You agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the purchase of goods from Combat Sports International and/or Ringside exceeding the amount allowed in the Small Claims Division shall be resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration subject to the provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act as enacted in Kansas Statutes Chapter 5, Article 4. Such arbitration shall occur in Johnson County Kansas before a sole arbitrator. Any award rendered in any such arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent jurisdiction. Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the purchase of Combat Sports International and/or Ringside products or any other claim related to the use of products sold through its websites, catalogs, or otherwise, including but not limited to its retail showroom or tournaments, must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. Combat Sports International's and/or Ringside's failure to enforce strict performance of any provision of these terms and conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these terms and conditions.

NOTICE OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
The terms and conditions of all sales by Combat Sports International provide that all disputes between you and Combat Sports International and/or Ringside will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract except for matters that may be taken to THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT OF JOHNSON COUNTY, KANSAS. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. FOR MORE DETAILS, SEE "APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION" ABOVE
