TERMS & CONDITIONS

 

The terms and conditions contained herein constitute the entire agreement (“Agreement”) between VoiceMailTel Inc. (“Seller”) and Buyer with respect to products offered for sale (“Goods”) as described fully on page 1 of the Sale Agreement (purchase invoice) and shall supersede all prior correspondence, oral communications, Buyer’s purchase orders (past or present), confirmation or agreement of any agent of either party with respect to the Goods. In the event that Buyer relies on documents extraneous to this Agreement, the provisions of said documents shall not be deemed accepted unless expressly assumed by Seller.

 

1. Prices: All prices stated herein are F.O.B. Concord, Ontario, unless otherwise specified by Seller. Seller hereby reserves the right, at any time, to modify or update the price of goods without notice and all changes shall become effective and binding upon the subsequent modification in price.

 

2. Terms of Payment: Full payment for Goods shall be upon conclusion of the Sale Agreement by one of the accepted methods including credit card, wire transfer, or online payment. Seller will only accept cash, business checks or personal checks if approved in advance.

 

3. Special Orders: Orders for Goods that are not normally held in stock by the Seller, for Goods with unique specifications, or limited in production, or orders made subsequent to the processing of Buyer’s order are considered Special Orders. All special orders require a minimum nonrefundable deposit of 20% of total value of the Goods (before tax). If there is a cancellation for any reason by Buyer, Buyer forfeits the entire deposit to Seller. Seller shall not be liable for late shipments. Given shipping dates are approximate and are only estimates. Buyer shall not be entitled to chargebacks, reductions in price or other offsets as a result of late shipments or failure to deliver in the estimated time of delivery.

 

4. Emergency orders: Where the Buyer requires Seller to either ship Goods in stock or to order Goods from a manufacturer and subsequently ship said Goods to Buyer within specific delays, which are shorter than the normal delays, any added costs for shipping or for the Goods themselves are assumed by Buyer.

 

5. Back Orders: If Seller is unable to immediately fill the entire order, Seller shall notify Buyer and if Buyer so requests, Seller shall ship those goods in stock as an accommodation to the Buyer’s order. The balance of the order shall be shipped on back order and the Goods shall be sent to Buyer upon receipt in stock unless otherwise directed by Buyer.

 

6. Deliveries: All shipping dates given by Seller are approximate. Under normal circumstances orders will be shipped within 5‐7 business days. Deliveries may be subject to delay due to, but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, labour difficulties, fire, delay or defaults of common carriers or any other delays beyond Seller’s reasonable control, and Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising there from. Seller represents that it possesses the skill to properly package the Goods being shipped. All Goods damaged in transit are not the responsibility of Seller. All claims are to be made with the corresponding freight or shipping company. Seller shall have the additional right, in the event of an above referenced occurrence, to cancel this Agreement or any part of it without any resulting liability. Any delivery not in dispute shall be paid in full, regardless of controversies relating to other delivered or undelivered Goods.

 

7. Risk of Loss: Risk of loss of the Goods shall pass to Buyer once the Goods are shipped from the Seller’s premises (F.O.B.) to Buyer.

 

8. Warranties: The Seller offers no supplementary warranty other than the manufacturer’s warranty except where required by law. If Buyer receives Goods in a defective condition due to imperfect material or workmanship, and if such information is reported to Seller within thirty (30) days, a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number shall be issued by Seller to Buyer. If said Goods are deemed by Seller or by the appropriate manufacturer to be defective due to imperfect material or workmanship, Seller or appropriate manufacturer shall correct said Goods. The Seller is not obligated to intervene on behalf of the Buyer to have the manufacturer’s warranty executed, although the Seller may provide assistance if so chooses.

 

9. Returns: All requests to return Goods not covered under section 8 must be reported to Seller within thirty (30) days. Failure to give notice within thirty days after receipt shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the Goods. No return request shall be made after the Goods are used, processed, opened, or changed in any manner from the original condition. All warranty cards and similar items must be properly packaged and included with the Goods and returned to Seller in the original packaging. All returns must be sent shipping prepaid with appropriate care and external packaging to ensure Goods arrive in mint condition. No Goods shall be returned to Seller unless Seller has authorized a return and provided an RMA to Buyer. Any returns are subject to a twenty percent (20%) restocking charge.

 

10. Limitation of Damages: Buyer’s exclusive remedy for breach of contract or warranty shall be limited to the price of the Goods only. In the event of a breach or repudiation of this Agreement by Seller, Buyer shall not be entitled to recover any incidental or consequential damages.

 

11. Use of Goods: Seller is engaged in the selling of products for purposes including but not limited to: residential and commercial. Buyer hereby warrants and represents that it has the knowledge and expertise related to said types of Goods. Seller is not liable for any Buyer misconceptions, misunderstandings or disappointments associated, related to or concerning said Goods. Seller is not liable for any damages caused by misuse of Goods by Buyer.

 

12. Taxes: The amount of Goods sold listed herein shall have all applicable taxes added to the purchase price and these shall be paid by Buyer

 

13. Assignment / Delegation: Buyer shall assign no right or interest in this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be wholly void and without effect for all purposes.

- cancel any and/or all agreements; and/or

- defer shipment or delivery of all or any part until such default or breach is cured; and/or

Seller shall not be limited in its rights and remedies against Buyer for any cause whatsoever to those remedies set forth herein, but shall have such other rights and remedies as may be available to under the laws of the province of Ontario or any other applicable laws.

If Buyer cancels this agreement, Seller may retain all or a portion of any down payment or deposit to cover the costs and expenses incurred due to such cancellation.

 

17. Waiver: Except as may be expressly provided in a writing signed by the parties to this Agreement, the failure or delay of either party to this Agreement to insist in any instance on strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a Waiver of that provision or the relinquishment of any rights under that provision in the future, but the provision shall continue and remain in full force and effect.
