Overview
Welcome to Global OPT Tested Vintage Audio.
The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Global OPT Tested Vintage Audio. We operate this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you with a curated shopping experience focused on tested vintage audio equipment.
Our store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide our online store services to you.
By visiting, browsing, using our website, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, and any other policies referenced on our website.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use our website or purchase from our store.
1. Access and Account
By using our website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your country, state, or province of residence, or that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
You may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, payment information, and contact details.
You agree that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
2. Our Products
Global OPT Tested Vintage Audio specializes in vintage, pre-owned, collectible, and tested audio equipment, including but not limited to boomboxes, cassette decks, reel-to-reel tape recorders, turntables, amplifiers, receivers, tuners, speakers, and related accessories.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, our products are not new. They may show signs of age, prior use, cosmetic wear, scratches, marks, discoloration, minor imperfections, or other age-related characteristics.
We make every reasonable effort to describe each item accurately, including its tested condition, cosmetic condition, included accessories, voltage information, known issues, and available service history.
Product photos, videos, descriptions, and condition notes are part of the item description and should be reviewed carefully before purchase.
Due to monitor settings, lighting, camera angle, and screen differences, the actual color, appearance, and cosmetic details of an item may differ slightly from what appears on your screen.
Vintage audio equipment may require careful handling, proper voltage, compatible accessories, maintenance, adjustment, or professional service over time.
3. One-of-a-Kind Items and Availability
Many of our items are unique, rare, or available in very limited quantities.
In most cases, one listing represents one specific physical unit.
We may also list or promote items across multiple sales channels, including our own website and selected third-party marketplaces.
Although we make every reasonable effort to keep inventory accurate, we reserve the right to cancel or decline an order if:
- the item was sold through another channel before inventory was updated;
- the item is no longer available;
- a technical issue is discovered during final pre-shipment inspection;
- the item cannot be safely shipped to the buyer’s location;
- payment, fraud screening, address verification, export, customs, or compliance checks cannot be completed;
- there is an error in price, availability, description, or shipping cost.
If we cancel an order after payment has been made, we will refund the amount paid through the original payment method whenever possible.
4. Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase.
Your order is not accepted until we confirm acceptance and payment has been received and processed.
We reserve the right to accept, decline, cancel, or limit any order at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Once an order is accepted and processing has begun, cancellation may not always be possible.
5. Prices, Taxes, Customs, and Billing
Prices, discounts, and promotions may change without notice.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, listed prices do not include shipping, handling, customs duties, import taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, storage fees, or other charges imposed by carriers, customs authorities, payment providers, or local authorities.
International buyers are responsible for understanding and paying any applicable import duties, customs charges, taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, or similar charges required in their country.
We are not responsible for delays, additional charges, or refusal of delivery caused by customs procedures, unpaid import charges, incorrect buyer information, or local import restrictions.
You agree to provide accurate billing, payment, and contact information and to promptly update any information required to complete your order.
6. Voltage, Power Compatibility, and Safe Use
Vintage audio equipment may be designed for different voltage standards, including but not limited to 100V, 110V, 120V, 220V, 230V, or 240V.
Before connecting any item to power, the buyer is responsible for checking the voltage rating of the unit and ensuring compatibility with the local power supply.
If a step-up or step-down transformer is required, the buyer must use a proper high-quality transformer with suitable power capacity.
Damage caused by incorrect voltage, improper transformer use, incompatible power supply, misuse, unauthorized repair, modification, or improper handling is not covered by our warranty or return policy.
If you are unsure about voltage compatibility, please contact us before using the item.
7. Shipping and Delivery
We ship from approved fulfillment locations, which may include the United States, Poland, Ukraine, or other locations depending on item availability and logistics.
We make every reasonable effort to package vintage audio equipment carefully and securely. Many items are heavy, fragile, and sensitive to impact, vibration, moisture, and rough handling.
Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs processing, weather, strikes, inspections, war, force majeure events, incorrect delivery information, unpaid import duties, or events outside our control.
Upon delivery, the buyer should inspect the outer packaging carefully before accepting the package. If there is visible damage, the buyer should take photos and videos immediately and contact us as soon as possible.
Damage claims, returns, repairs, warranty cases, and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy and Shipping Policy.
8. Returns, Refunds, and Warranty
Returns, refunds, warranty claims, repair options, replacements, and store credit are governed by our Refund Policy.
Our vintage audio equipment is tested before listing and shipment. Depending on the item and listing details, certain items may include a limited functionality warranty.
Warranty coverage does not apply to damage caused by shipping damage that was not properly documented, incorrect voltage, improper use, unauthorized repair, modification, dropping, impact, moisture, poor return packaging, or issues clearly disclosed in the listing.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.
9. Product Information, Errors, and Omissions
We make every effort to provide accurate product descriptions, photos, specifications, prices, shipping information, and availability.
However, errors, inaccuracies, or omissions may occur.
We reserve the right to correct any errors, update information, cancel orders, or change availability at any time, including after an order has been submitted, subject to applicable law.
