The following disclosures are made in compliance with federal law and are provided to inform you — the consumer — of your rights, our obligations, and the legal framework governing your purchase.
1. STATUTORY DEFINITIONS
1.1 Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS)
Under 15 U.S.C. § 375(7)(A), an ENDS is defined as:
"Any electronic device that, through an aerosolized solution, delivers nicotine, flavor, or any other substance to the user inhaling from the device," including an e-cigarette, an e-hookah, an e-cigar, a vape pen, an advanced refillable personal vaporizer, an electronic pipe, "and any component, liquid, part, or accessory of a device, without regard to whether the component, liquid, part, or accessory is sold separately from the device."
All products sold on SaltyRizz.com that fall within this definition are subject to the PACT Act, regardless of whether they contain nicotine.
1.2 Delivery Sale
Under 15 U.S.C. § 375(5), a delivery sale is any sale of covered products to a consumer where the order is submitted by telephone, mail, Internet, or other online service, or where the seller is not in the physical presence of the buyer at the time the order is placed, and where the products are delivered by common carrier, private delivery service, or other method of remote delivery.
All sales made on SaltyRizz.com are delivery sales subject to PACT Act requirements.
1.3 Delivery Seller
Under 15 U.S.C. § 375(6), a delivery seller is a person who makes a delivery sale. SaltyRizz.com operates as a delivery seller and is bound by all applicable obligations under the PACT Act.
2. REQUIRED PACKAGE LABELING LANGUAGE
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 376a(b)(1), every package shipped by SaltyRizz.com bears the following federally mandated label:
"CIGARETTES / NICOTINE / SMOKELESS TOBACCO: FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE PAYMENT OF ALL APPLICABLE EXCISE TAXES, AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LICENSING AND TAX-STAMPING OBLIGATIONS."
This label is affixed clearly and conspicuously on the outside of every outbound package. Each package also displays the full legal business name, physical address, and telephone number of SaltyRizz.com as the delivery seller.
Any package lacking this label is treated as nondeliverable matter by compliant carriers pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 376a(b)(2).
3. PROHIBITION ON USPS SHIPMENT
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1716E(a)(1), it is unlawful to use the United States Postal Service to ship cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, or ENDS to consumers.
